Before After

So Sad!

Okay so this is my 3rd day of TOM being here and I am like Niagra Falls!  So therefore, I am not able to do my workouts today!  I am so bummed out about it!  It usually calms down at about day 2!  Not this time.  Hmmmm....maybe it's because I ran those 4 mile last night.  Anyway, I am upset and sorry about the TMI!!!

New Goals!

For today...my goals are to do 50 mins. of Advanced Tae Bo and run 5 miles.  And for those who think my MIL staying longer is a bad thing...it's not.  We get along just fine!  See, I was best friends with my hubby's sis a long time ago.  So, I've known my MIL since I was 5!  Yea, it's kindof a sweet love story.  Anyway, I hope you all are doing well and it's good to see what you all are up to!

I'm back (again)

I just got back from a 4 mile jog.  I still haven't found the time to do the 6 or 7 miles that I want to attempt.  Anyway, tonight I will be doing the 40 min. Turbo Sculpt and I do not want to eat anything else.  I feel good and NEED to get back on track!  I am doing fine with my workout, it just my eating that could go a little better.  I have, however, been eating my veggies!  YAY!  Anyway, I have been soooooo bloated that I decided to not weigh myself this morning.  Soon, Auntie Flo will be gone and hopefully these 2 extra pounds will be gone!  I miss you gals!  I have been so busy getting my house and kids in order, (well, trying to anyway) that I have not had time to check on you all.  I think about you though.  Also, my Mother in Law will be staying with us till my hubby returns from Iraq which is the end of January! 

UPDATE:  I did do the 40 min. Turbo Sculpt and still have not eating anything else!

Still Here!

I am still around.  It seems as the days just are blending!  I am in the process of training for a 10K.  It has been raining a lot here in New Mexico, so it is hard to run on the street!  The 10K is next Saturday!  I am excited but also nervous.  There is a 5K (3.2miles), however, I want to give myself a challenge!  I am used to running 4 miles.  I wonder how I will do at the race running 6.4 miles. 

As for my weight, I have gained 2 pounds.  I have been eating whatever and working out like crazy.  Partly, because I don't have time to log in my food at The Daily Plate.  I have to get back on track with that.  Also, I am expecting good ole' Auntie Flo soon!  I need to post more.  My Mother in Law is still here.  It is possible that she may be able to stay longer.  Anyway, my son is crying for me.  I have to go!  Wish me luck on my Monday's weigh in! 

TIME

So, on Friday, I decided to do my 4 mile jog, and was so excited to see I did it in 50.02 mins!  Usually, my time is over 53.  I am improving.  Also, Saturday, I did 40 mins. of Turbo Jam, and, today (Monday), I ran another 4 miles (52.05 mins-it was soooo cold), and this evening, I did 40 mins  of Turbo Sculpt!  I havent weighed myself in a while and all the working out makes me more hungry.  I am nervous about weighing myself, however, I will in the morning!  Wish me luck!

Thank You!

Just wanted to post a quick one today!  I love your support!  I have to tell you all THANK YOU!!!!  Oh, and I weighed myself, and I am still at 165!!!!  That makes me so happy!  Oh, and, my Mother in Law came yesterday!  I am soooooooooooo excited to have her here to help.  She will be here for about 3 weeks!  I hope you all are doing great!  We are taking the kids to the zoo.  That should be fun since my son LOVES animals!  I will be doing Turbo Sculpt tonight!

Thankfulness

5 things...

1. First of all for my Faith!!!!!  I think my life would be chaotic without that!

2. Of course my family!  My children mean so much to me and even though it is hard and trialing at times, I couldn't imagine my life with out them...I would feel, selfish! My husband...I miss him so much at this time, but I am thankful that he is the brave Soldier that he is and he is doing his job to help protect our country!

3. For the determination I have to not give up on my excercise and weight loss, no matter if I fall, no matter how many times I slip!!!!

4.  (Wow, I'm already on #4)?  I am also thankful for...Technology!  I always used to think why do we have all this crap (I still do at times), but, I am thankful for it.  Without it, we wouldn't be able to have this wonderful friendship and weight loss site!  Also, I get to email my hubby all the time.  I couldn't imagine not being able to talk to him for 4 months.  And yes shellys this includes the telephone!

5.  My LIFE!   (OOPS...I hope that wasn't too generic, but, it's true)!

New Pics!

I was brave and decided to post my old 'FAT' photo and my newer 33 lbs loss pic!  As you can see, I still have a ways to go!  I still think I look awful! 

Update: I did 50 mins. of Advanced Tae Bo tonight!

It's Working!!!!

www.thedailyplate.com is totally the key for me!  I weighed myself (again), and Instant Gratification!  I am down to 165!  I am so excited!  I am getting there! 

Can I make it?????

Today, I keep thinking, 'Can I make it to my goal?, Can I be in the 150's?'
