Another Week

Bad news, I didn't exercise very much this week. Good news is...holding steady on the weight. So over all not too shabby of a week.

quick update

I haven't worked out for a couple of day because I have had to take the kids to school at 7:30 and I spend the day in provo. But I have been REALLY watching my portion control and so far the results are good -2 lbs. YAY! So I'll keep it up HURRAY!

Tae Bo day 2

So far so good. I did another day today. Just a little Ib profen to go to bed last night but enough to feel like it was a good work out!

I am off beat on the movie just a little because I need to wait for the ripples to stop after I do a kick. Sometimes I think you can hear the fat rippling back...Plus I swear he adds an extra count with out any one noticing or they do notice but aren't getting paid enough to say anything about it :-)

On the good side though, I really can tell a difference from a couple of years ago when I first tried. I make it all the way through the routine with out passing out or throwing up (although I did feel pretty nauseated the other day when I tried it) I also notice that if I eat a good breakfast not too late in the morning I don't feel so hungry. I have been working on my portion control. My mom and I have gone to smaller plates at dinner. Sometimes I go back for seconds but even that is getting less frequent and smaller amounts.

Lets keep this going and I might loose another lb or 2!

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger...

Ok, so I feel like the lady that goes on all the diet fads then decides they don't work, except for it's not diets its exercise plans, and it's probably not the plan but the girl that can't stick with them(me).

So here we go again. I know it's been awhile since I posted last but a new year, a new beginning, a new healthier me! I haven't been terrible at working out, but just not very consistent. I did Tae Bo this morning and I felt like it kicked my butt. But my stamina stayed with it pretty good, although I don't think that I will be able to walk tomorrow with out the help of my friend Mr. Ib Profen. Maybe the skinny girls on the video will keep me motivated. I want to have abs like those!

My sis-in-law wants to run a 5K this summer, so I sure hope I can do it with her. It's not too far to go and I CAN DO IT! I am sure it will be pretty slow going for me, but I think I can do it with in a 1/2 hour :-) So a few new goals and new year resolution...now I better go shower, I don't think I smell so hot...

a pound?

I have lost 1 lb. I guess it's better than nothin! Hopefully if they keep going by Christmas I will have lost 4 lbs. We have still been pretty constitant even though we sleep in some mornings. Sometimes I think I am running up and down the stairs enough that that should count as part of my cardio! I have been pushing my self on the weights at the gym and it feels good. Sore. But good. Now not to gain back that 1 lb during the holiday!

Is a gym, is a gym, is a gym

We have been pretty consistant for about 2 weeks now. It has felt nice even though I am so tired some days I want to just sleep all day and fall into bed every night. But I have been pushing myself and have definitely felt it!

This gym is a lot like the other one, but bigger. It has a pool, a lot more weights, machines, treadmills, elliptical's ect. It is nice because it is bigger, so even if there a quite a few people there it doesn't feel to crowded. But there are the same type of characters. Today I watched a group of (most likely) middle aged body builders instead of collage student body builders. And there is a couple of ladies that always seem to be a little to dressed for 5 am at the gym. But then again I probably look like I just rolled out of bed, and am not there to impress any one. Which is probably a good thing considering most people might be slightly afraid or nauseated at my appearance.

This morning I really wished I had long enough hair just to pull into a pony-tail and go. But that aint happening any time soon :-) So until then I will do my self up just enough to totally scare the whole gym away and kind of giggle at the ones who feel it necessary to cary around lip gloss tucked into the back of her gym shirt...yes that is what one girl does....

yes, yes, I know

I need to update more. I was supposed to use this blog as a get motivated-funny experiences-loosing weight- journal but, uh, well....I guess you could say I'm having a hard time being consistent.

We did start again though, this week. We have moved, mom is doing better, I don't have such a bum knee, we are in a little bit of a routine, and so the journey begins yet again. We go to the AF gym and it's a good gym. Although, I have to get used to the different macho guys, that are a little older and stronger. Not quiet so many mirrors for every one to stare and flex in, but a lot more equipment for everyone to use which equals a little less crowded feeling even thought the place feels HUGE.

I went off my BC and instead of gaining. I am back down to where I started. I can't move my little "ticker" yet though 'cause according to that I haven't lost anything. But I am hoping to be able to loose now that my body has evened out a little bit. So we'll see...
