Well I have lost 1lb at this week's WI, and I'm okay that I didn't gain after the crazy week I've been having!!! First it has been FREEZING outside for me to complete my walks and I haven't not even wanted to roll out of the warm covers with the cold temperatures. That being said, I didn't walk/run too much towards the end of last week and the beginning of this week because of that. I've still been watching what I've been eating and my husband made a steak fajata on the grill saturday what was just to difficult for me to stop picking at so I did eat  it (didn't measure portions) but I didn't have it with any tortillas and all the trimmings... just the meat only and water!

With the cold temperatures, my motivation to keep my exercising up... my husband suggested we buy a treadmill so there would be no weather related obstacles to exercising and I just thought that was super GREAT! So we finally picked one up after looking and looking and comparing prices last night... DH and I stayed up putting it together last night until almost midnight and I got on it and did my running and walking, running and walking... I'm so excited that now I have something that will help me keep me moving and it's also good for my dogs. The great thing about walking every morning is that the dogs get a good workout too so it's been rough for them too... now I can put them on the treadmill too so they can work out their energy [Big Cesar Millan fan]. I still got up this morning and went walking in the cold temperatures (finally dropped to 40 degrees) so I'll use it in the evenings because it gets dark around 4:50pm and who wants to walk in the dark?

Now to the Biggest Loser RECAP for this week: I'm soo disappointed that Amy didn't vote off Vicky. That BITCH (excuse my language) doesn't care about anyone but herself. I'm so sad that Colleen went home... I think she was a good role model and motivator for the BL. It looks like a lot of women are hanging in there and the men (almost all) have gone home thusfar. We'll see... I'm still a fan of the show so far but we'll see what twist and turns the show takes. Hope everyone is doing good!

Wednesday and Thursday were not my best days for exercise. My body is just exhausted. I got a massage on Wednesday because I was so sore and I was hurting... so I gave myself a break. Yesterday I came home from work and took a nap so I could be rested for my aerobics class and I slept through the first half hour. Now this morning.. it's raining so walking is out. I need to get a treadmill! I'm going to pull out a video this afternoon though because I feel bad I haven't worked out in 2 days! And because I was sleeping... my husband ordered pizza for dinner.. and I had one piece! I have no idea how many calories are in one pizza but I could have easily eaten several pieces.. so I'm proud that I exercised portion control.

Did anyone catch last night's BL? It's crazy that Brady got sent home but I agree with the decision and I bet alot of people do. But the previews for next week that revenge will be in the mix-- is wrong. Everyone has a choice to choose who they want to eliminated and I don't think Brady's wife should be seeking revenge on anyone. I don't think America likes her very much. I wish she would go home already!!! Everyone there is there to lose weight and make a life change and she seems like all she cares about is the money. Well her husband got sent home so that ends that plan! I don't want her to be the winner because I don't think she makes a good role model to follow.

On a completely different note, my mom's friend told me she takes something (can't remember the name) to cleanse her system once a week and she is on a diet but doing that she is 40lbs lighter. Is this healthly? I dunno I'll have to do some research on it. I know it's suppose to be done periodically but once a week?  

So today was my WI and yes... I lost 4lbs! I'm finally out of the 150's! (I had gained 2lbs that week I gave up exercise and eating right) I'm so glad too because I'm exhausted. Last night during Aerobics-- I came home washed dishes and went to bed! This morning since I didn't have to take the kids to school (being a holiday) I slept in. But I'll make it up this afternoon and walk/run for an hour. I could easily see that last night I was able to keep up with most of the exercises (sometimes I gotta take a 5 second break) because those lunges kill me but I hung in there but I'm still sore??? Even when I go over my 2 miles walk (because it's a brisk walk) I could feel the burn in my legs. My mom doesn't slow down for anything. I tried walking with my husband and he says I go to fast but if I get behind... then I have to run to catch up with my mom who is there is always pushing me.... I wonder how long am I going to be sore?? My arms, legs, stomach... hell even my ass is sore! I'm at work and all I could think of is how nice it would be to go home and crawl in bed under the warm covers and rest. But I have to make up my walking that I missed this morning and add another half hour so walking/run this afternoon with mom is the currentl plan. The good thing about working out with someone who loves exercise is the push they give you when you want to take a break. So here is to my week 2 of being back on track!

Today is Day 7 and it's cheat time on my exercise. I've worked out everyday for at least 1 hour maybe more and today I only managed to get a half hour in of exercise. It's Sunday--need a break. My whole body hurts and has been hurting everyday this week. I've managed not to cheat one time on food either except for today -- my husband wanted to buy that new guitar hero thingy for the kids with the drums and we only have a playstation 2, and you need a Wii or Xbox to get that set sooo.. we had to drive all around town looking for one or the other and hardley any place had them. I could feel weak--with no food only my water and we drove through Mcdonalds for the kids. In an effort to completely stay on track--I passed on food. There was nothing in sight that I could stop in to get and I didn't feel like a salad. I need a break from salad. I eat salad every single day with dinner and I have just had it with lettuce. So I stopped into a Winn Dixie to pick up some meat to cook when I got home on the grill (that was already thawed out) and I bought me another water and a damn dark chocolate candy. I had to have something!! DH & kids were waiting in the car and I looked for a quick snack somewhere but the calories and serving size were more than I needed. So I did a mini cheat-- Doves at 220 calories. Not too bad since all I had to eat was 1 cup of All bran and an orange for breakfast. The toughest choices are when you are out and about. The only choices that I have found besides a salad is subway and maybe a sandwich from Arbys -- that is plain with no sauces.

Since I'm not doing my 1 hour today-- I'll pull a last chance workout tomorrow before my Tuesday weigh in! My muscles need a break and yesterday I completed my 100abs and at 70 I was dying. I'm really proud of myself though-- Yesterday--I completed my walk and my kids rode their bicycles with me as I took both dogs out and we did it! I'm not going to let negativity and set backs beat me!
