Before After

My friends list

May pictures are up

of me in my goal suit.  I'm finally seeing a change especially in my butt! Yay!

So it's May....

So it's May and I'm really happy.   I went shopping on Sunday to get a dress for a wedding that we are going to on the 17th.  Now I have been working out pretty steadily since Jan and my goal (starting at a size 11) was to fit into a size 7 by the beginning of May-I did it.  I tried on one dress that was a size 7 and it fit like a glove, I also tried on a pair of Jeans in a 7 and they actually did up (they were way to tight to be comfortable but they did up).  I have never, not even in high school, been a 7.  I'm also very proud because I'm strong.  I've been doing weights (upper body) and I have well defined biceps and triceps, my shoulders are sculpted- and since my shoulders are broader I look more balanced between my upper and lower body.  I know there are some things I can't change about my body- I will always have bigger legs- I will always have stretch marks- I will always have a few varicose veins on my legs (pretty picture) but despite of all that I know I am working hard to be strong and in shape and I'm proud for my body because of that (despite it's flaws).

Feeling bummed

I am feeling a bit bummed today.   Even though I'm getting in better shape and have lost many inches off my body I still see all those things I'm dissatisfied with.  I'm also bummed I won't be a size 7 by the beginning of May.  I know it's my fault.  After I was sick for those 2 weeks I totally lost my inspiration and didn't workout for 2 more weeks after that so I basically lost a month of working out.  My eating hasn't been the best the past week (I blame af).  I only have 3 mos until Vegas, I really hope to keep going (my workouts have been good the last 2 weeks) and imporve my eating.

Only working out 4x/week

I'd like to get back up to 5.  I did really bad eating the last week, thanks a lot PMS !  Anyway, only 3 more mos until Vegas baby!  I have to get a new pic of me in my goal suit up but I'm not sure I want to do it until all the bloating goes away.  The good thing is I I'm back down to about 168.  The stupid 6 key on my laptop just popped off .  I really want to hit 160.

Couldn't get on EP yesterday

I kept getting a cannot connect message.  Anyway, I worked out yesterday and I ramped it up a little.  Probably won't workout today, we're taking the kids to see the Wiggles and I'm sure by the time we get back DS will be exhausted and just wanted to sit and snuggle on the couch.  He's just a big teddy bear.  DD has piano lessons (Dh will be taking her) so it will be just DS and I for a bit.

Worked out- day 3

I only did 1/2 my weights, my muscles are weary today.  The weather has started to turn more springy, I'm looking forward to breaking out some warm weather clothes (and buying new ones when the ones i have no longer fit).  We go to Harrison in 2 mos so that will be the test drive of how I look in my goal suit.  If I look great enough maybe I'll even splurge for a new one!

Back on the wagon

I worked out yesterday and today and plan to workout at least 2 more times this week (thurs  fri definitely) maybe more.    I really need to stick back on the wagon.  After I was sick I totally lost my inspiration to workout.  When I was finally better I wanted to get right back to workoing out but 2 weeks off makes a huge impact and the fact that I backslid in my strength so much really put me off.  So I've totally been slacking the last couple of weeks but NO MORE!   I probably won't make it into a size 7 by the 1st of May but I know I can do it but Jay's friends wedding.  Only 133 days to go until we leave for Vegas. I can do this.... I Want to do this.....

In pain

I didn't get to workout yesterday but I did a lot of walking (Sarah had gymnastics) and today me knee is killing me.  I did something to it on the weekend (I'm not sure what) but I'm having trouble bending it if I'm putting weight on it at the same time (bending is fine if there's n weight on it).  I have a lot of cleaning to do today but I'm going to do a workout (minus stairs and squats). T-minus 4mos until Vegas (we leave on August 8th) so not long to go.

t-minus 4mos-4days and counting

FInally worked out today- but I ate brie... I love brie.  Anyway still sitting about 170 so that's good, hoping for 165 eventually.

Anyone else not feel like working out during TOM?

Ever since I had kids I've gotten wicked cramps during AF, I also feel so tired.  It makes me not want to workout.  I didn't workout yesterday and haven't today either.
