Before After

Happy Monday

Well, I slept in this morning, so it will be hard to get a workout in.  Hopefully, I can sneak one in this afternoon during Emily's nap time. 
 
I weighed this morning.  Bad, bad, bad.  But, I'm already down 2.5 lbs.  So, that motivates me even more.  I also know it could have been the opposite.    Probably all water, but I'll take it!
 
Have a great day everyone!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there. 
 
I feel so empowered today.  I am beautiful, I am worth it, my kids are worth it.  I can make this day! 

The new plan...

So, I decided to go back to the only thing that ever really worked for me, and that's Jenny Craig.  However, it's so darn expensive.  I got to thinking about it and realized I can buy everything that Jenny has to offer in the grocery store.  I remember that it was 1200 calories a day, and there was a yogart snack, a fruit snack and a treat snack.  So, I started today, and I'm off to a great start. 
 
I got up at 5:20 this morning and did Jillian Michale's Boost your Metabolism workout.  It should take around 17 weeks to lose the 35 lbs that I want to lose.  Just a little over 4 months.  What's 4 months? 
 
I can do this.  Each time I want to cheat, I'm going to ask myself.  Is this or my kids more important.  My kids of course!  I'm 44 years old next month, and I've got two kids to raise.  I have to get healthy!!!!!!!!

Sunday

 

So, I got up this morning, and felt sooooo terrible.  I could barely keep my eyes open, because I had insomnia last night.  I've been having that a lot lately.  I felt as if there were no way I could exercise.  However, I did finally get on the eliptical and did 60 minutes.  I just took my hair down and it's as if I took a shower it's so wet.  So, I guess I needed a good sweat.  OK, now off to take a little nap if my children will let me.

It's been a while,,,

since I've posted, eaten right, or worked out.  I've been really bad for about 1 1/2 weeks.  I got my office all finished and it just zapped all my energy.  But, I'm ready to get back to it. 

I haven't weighed, I'm really scared to.  So, I think I'll try and wait until at least a week from now to weigh in.  I think if I'm up much, I'll just want to give up. 

Scales and Dreams

I just can't seem to stay off the scale.  I want to weigh like 10 times a day. As if that will make a difference.  I need to get back to weighing in ONLY once per week. 

Last night I had a dream, that I went somewhere (not sure where I was), but I had to weigh and they told me I was 63 lbs overweight.  It was like their scale was broken, and I tried to explain that I didn't weigh that much at home.   Can you say, my weight loss is on my mind way too much?

AM Eliptical:  45 minutes

Lost 3 lbs, but 4.43 lbs of FAT!!!!!!

Ok, a few weeks ago I bought one of those body fat % scales, because my weight loss has been soooooo slow.  I thought MAYBE I was gaining some muscle.  Well, since then I've only lost 3 lbs, BUT  according to my math, I've lost 4.43 lbs of fat.  COOL!!!!

Weight when I bought scale - 160,  Body Fat - 43% - FAT - 68.8

Weight today - 157, Body Fat 41% - FAT - 64.37

Still not enough, but I'll take it.  I hope that Body Fat Scale really works!  It just grosses me out that 64 lbs of my body is fat!

Yesterday's workout -  Drywalling ceiling - ouch!  1 hour,  Eliptical 30 minutes - PM

Today's scheduled workout - Step and Tone - 1 hour AM, Eliptical 30 minutes PM

Great to be back!!!

I took a week off, because of my bronchitis, pending MRI due to headaches, and a visit from my parents.  I have to admit the time off did me good!!!  I started back working out on Sunday, and I feel great!  I am still getting exercise induced headaches, but I now have meds, and I know I don't have a brain tumor .

 

Today's workout:  Circuit  AM

What an awful workout!

This morning's workout was terrible.  I did circuit with weights, and my muscles felt like mush!  I barely made it through.  Yesterday, I had an awesome cardio session.  BUT, after I got a horrific migraine.  So, I guess I'm still recovering.  I'm becoming afraid to do any heavy aerobics, because this is the 2nd time I've gotten a migraine.  I will be talking to my Dr. about it next time I see him.

I've decided to start eating again.  I've been eating very little, and I've not lost any weight.  I guess I'm in that starvation mode.  So, why suffer right?  I'm going to get back to eating 3 meals and 3 snacks a day - around 1200 calories.  This is the plan I was on at Jenny Craig and I did well on it.  Of course that was 2 kids ago. 

 

 

Addicted!

I have suddenlty become addicted to exercise!  In all my years of exercising this has never happened to me.   I've always dreaded it, and hated it.  But, now I can't do without it.  On my one day off per week, I want it.  I'm doing two sessions a day, and I love it.  I hope this feeling lasts!

I bought a new scale yesterday.  It was my reward for all my hard work.  It tells your weight, body fat % and hydration.  I couldn't believe it said I had 41% body fat!  My dh got on it - doesn't work out at all btw, and his was 25%.  My 4 year old was 11.1%.  My weight hasn't changed much in the last two weeks, which is suprising with all my working out.  I've been eating good too.  Hopefully, my body will start to cooperate soon.
