Down another half a pound this morning. Things are going well but I have not been blogging this week as I have been going a little crazy planning my daughters joined pool party with another girl. The same day also happens to be my mother-in-law's birthday. Oh boy, can you say lots of cake, planning and chaos? Anyway looks like everyone has been doing fabulously. I don't know that I will be able to make my original goal of 148 by June 1st but I'll be pretty close I hope. After this party is finished I will really be kicking things into high gear. I actually made it through Jillian Michael's work out NMTZ with the help of my friend. Did yoga twice this past week and also my elliptical just about every day. The scale hasn't been moving as much as I'd hope it would this week but I am feeling so much stronger and have been cheating some on the week ends so I'm not complaining. Well I see a lot of fondant in my future, Cake making day here we come!! HAve a healthy week everyone!
It is Wednesday already right? Wow time flies. Well the scale has not moved at all even though I have followed everything to the letter and have been working out like a crazy person. Yesterday I got my postpartum ab workout in as well as my elliptical. Today I am going to take another stab at the trouble zone work out as well as my elliptical. So the question of the day. Does anyone find that the day after you work out really hard the scale won't move at all but it shows up in a big way the day after? I have been finding that expecially if you don't do any exercise the following day. I wonder why? It really doesn't matter to me but I'm just curious if other people have noticed anything like that. Have a healthy day everyone!
Well, I was winning the weight loss challenge with my husband and then I noticed hin weighing in the other day and he had somehow managed to drop 6lbs overnight. What the heck?? SO I asked him what happened and he said before his first weigh in he drank three litres of water so he would be super heavy on initial weigh in. Ohhhhhh men, they think they are so smart. haha Anyway everything has been going pretty good. Sunday was a bad day though. I broke down and had some Arby's which as it turned out was really yucky. So that was for nothing. I did yoga on sunday and yesterday I managed to get two workouts in. I did my elliptical in the morning for a half an hour and then in the evening when the kids were in bed I did the Jillian MIchaels DVD: the throuble zones one. The first time I did it I didn;t even make it through the first circuit and I was sore for three days. This time I made it through the first circuit and I am not even sore today. It's not so much the squats that kill you it's the arm weights. Blahhhhhh it was tough. Today I am going to do my elliptical and then the postpartum workout later tonight. I really feel like I am getting stronger but the scale hasn't budged in a while but I know that if I am going to cheat on the week ends I am not going to get anywhere. This week I am hoping to gain an edge over my husband and do my two workouts and stick to the plan. Hope yo are all doing great out there. Here to sticking to the eating plan!!! FAST FOOD SUCKS!!! AT least that is what I am going to tell myself next time I want some.
Well I have managed to get my husband involved in motivating me to lose some more weight. Anyone who has been reading this regularly has seen that the last few weeks haven't been very good as every birthday party etc has been setting me back. Anyway I need to learn to have more willpower in certain situation but that is another story for another day. Right now we don't have anything planned for another almost 3 weeks. So I proposed a weight loss challenge to him last night. Whoever loses the most weight until May 5th (my daughters birthday party) will have to do something that the other person wants. I chose a romantic dinner without children and a dance in the living room alone with a romantic song. You guys don't want to know what he chose. Anyway whatever works right!! Needless to say I had an amazing workout yesterday on the elliptical and today I have the Jillian Michaels DVD ready to go. May the most motivated win!!!
Well, I have been at about a two week plateau. I know the reason is because the week ends have been a free for all with birthdays, Easter, and weddings I haven't been able to stick to my diet when we go out for these types of things. I'm back on the diet today after the week end and I worked out quite a bit this week but the wedding was all a wash. Today my little girl has the stomach flu and threw up all night. After being up all night with her in the tub at 2am and feeding my three month old twice during the night I am so tired and feeling a little nauseous myself. BTW, I don't if any of you have tried the "Turducken" before but we cooked one up last night. Wasn't all I hoped it would be. Anyway, we will see what thi week brings. I don't have anymore official week end functions until by daughters birthday party on the 5th so until then I'm going to focus on shedding some serious pounds. I still have 22 pounds more to lose to reach my goal. Hope everyone has had a fabulous week end!!
Well, yesterday I had a really good work out. I went downstairs and was blasting Toby Keith while giving it all I had on the elliptical. It was nice because my 1 year old was playing down there and my three year old wasn't there to fight with him cause she has been with her Grandpa for a few days. I realized how distracting that was now that it wasn't there. Anyway, looks like that burned about 530calories. Worth every step!! Today I am going to the doctor for round three of some antibiotics because I can't shake the strep throat and I'll be getting my little 3 year old munchkin back today. So lots of business but I really want to try and find some time to work out. I would really like to kick it up a notch. I might try some Jillian Michaels DVD's, Has anyone tried the 30 day shred?
Well, I have been out of my slim fast stuff for a couple days after getting back from my Dads this week end. Since grocery shopping is sort of like a trip to the zoo with three kids under four my husband and I have been putting it off. So I didn't stick to the plan yesterday and ate some crap I shouldn't have. Anyway I am stocked back up with healthy food and after reading all the blogs this morning, they were so motivational I am definitely remotivated. It's so funny I started telling myself. After all you only lost 12.5 pounds and you have so far to go maybe you should just quit etc etc. I REFUSE TO QUIT!!! I CAN DO THIS! As James brown puts it in one of my favorite songs: GET UP OFFA THAT THING AND DANCE TILL YOU FEEL BETTER!!!!
Well, the week end was fabulously fun. We went out to my Dad's place and surprised him with his birthday party. We had one of the most delicious cakes ever so I ate two pieces. The kids all had an Easter hunt and so then I ate some of their chocolate. I also ate out Sunday after church and had a piece of cheesecake. Holy toledo no wonder I was nervous about this week end.!!!! Eeeeeeeek. Well that is all of my bad food confessions. I weighed in this morning and it wasn't pretty. I'm not going to worry too much about it. WHat's done is done. I really don't regret all of it. We had a lot of fun and I am ready to get back on the wagon. I realized that all of the eating actually made me sick. I felt so nauseated by the end of it I was actually looking forward to going back on the diet this morning because I knew how much better I would feel. I am planning to work out like a crazy person this week because we have a wedding to go to this week end and I want to look and feel good for that. We will see what the week brings maybe I will break even (so to speak) by Friday. Hope you all are having a fabulous Monday and HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!
Well I did not work out or get any laundry done yesterday. A friend and I decided to take our kids to coffee and scream and let the kids go crazy so we were there for about four hours. Which ended up being for the better because my knee is really bothering me and I'm still pretty sore from my burst of energy the other day. TOday I am babysitting a couple kids for a friend and I have to get my daughter ready to be gone for the week at her grandpa's house. We are going to be heading up for the say on Saturday and I'm really nervous about the whole thing. I really want to stick to my diet because like I have found out a slip up here and a week end off there end up taking the whole week because you don't lose any weight. Wish me luck!! HAve a healthy day everyone!!
Well, it took me two days to work off that slip up and now I am back to losing again. I am down another half a pound which is great news but I had a heck of a work out yesterday. I did my half hour elliptical in the morning and then I did yard raking and clean up which took me about 3 hours and ten bags of trash and leaves. Today I feel sore in my knees and bum. I guess it is a better feeling than falling backwards. Today I am going to try and get a work out and some laundry done. Not looking forward to either of those things but I need to keep in mind my new body which I am definitely looking forward to. Speaking of which did anyone see the biggest loser last night. Makes me look forward to new clothes after my weight loss!! Have a healthy day everyone!
