THE DRUGS ARE WORKING!!!

Ok, so who is with me????? Anyone???

I want to start next week. See what drugs can do! Ha!

Lets get back into this. We are each worth it!!!!!

Back on the Wagon

Ok so for 2 weeks I have been sick or had other bodily issues to contend with. Monday I felt so sluggish and fatigued but I decided to go ahead and walk. I walked 1.75 miles about minutes or so. I got back and felt much worse than when I started. I had to go back to bed.

So for Tuesday I thought I would have a chance to do some pilates or whatnot. It didn't actually happen due to sick girls. Soooooo I thought, there is always tomorrow....until I wake up to the world spinning out of control! (I gave up drinking because of this!) Chuck had to come home from work to take Emma and myself to the doctors. It appears I have a sinus infection. So there goes today. By the time I got home, I was so tired I went straight to bed.

So there is always next week. I hope to back up on the wagon and roaring along.

Great work ladies on keeping up despite my downfalls!!

Love ya!

Day 3

Ok so I didn't walk today, but I did just complete the Upper Body Pilates work out. I have to post now because I won't be able to type tomorrow. It was killer!!! PUSH UPS!!! YIKES!!! Do I know how to do those???

Not to mention my abs are killing me from yesterday's challenge.

Props to my girls for keeping up and working out the past two days!!! We need to set an obtainable goal to meet by Jan 31st so we can celebrate! Like we need a reason!!!! HA!!!

Thanks for keeping up.

Pilates-OUCH!

So here I am today, at 4:12 and I'm starting to feel the BURN of my pilates workout with Rebecca this morning. All we did was the Windsor Pilates Basic WO and WOW! So Friday, We'll see if we can make it through buns & thighs or abs or something harder. IF I can move. OK, I'm not so sore that I can't move YET, but I usually get more sore on the 2nd day after.

I LOVED the COLD walk on Tuesday morning! I even took my Beagle Dog Bosco with me. He could stand to loose a few pounds too. So not only am I going to look good in a few, my dog will TOO!

Keep up the good work guys! It's gonna be good in the summer, maybe closer to 40 in age will be better when I'm closer to a size 8!

Day 2

Ok so today I stayed committed and walked for 35 minutes. I still jogged the same distance but got my heart rate up. It was all good.

As for food, I have done better since I came home from work. Today someone decided to open the chocolate mints from the Sierra Nut House. WHY ME!!! WHERE DO THEY KEEP COMING FROM!!! I MUST OVERCOME!!! TOMORROW!!!

So aside from the extra sugar I had today, I decided to only have one small piece of pizza with a large salad for dinner and for lunch I had a bowl of Carrot Chowder. I think that was pretty good.

I'm off to do my pilates ab workout so until tomorrow, Yeah Me!!

PS Thanks for the encouragement girls. I need it!

It's a Miralce

My friends are probly shocked that in less than a month's time I have blogged. I'm here and commited to the cause as well. I have to a two sided goal, lose weight and drop a size or two. Like Cyndi, I want to post some pictures to show off my progress. My first day was Monday. I woke up at 5 AM and did a mile on the elipticle. Today, Cyndi and I walked for an hour. I need to wear some extra layers for these moring walks. I very proud of my friends and out commitment to feel better, have more energy and to feel good when we look in the mirror. I need to lose 30 lbs. and I want to be able to where a size 12 in all things.

Day 1

Ok so today I am considering to be day one of my week. How appropriate for it to be on a Monday. So any way, I just wanted to report that I walked for 25 minutes today with a short jog from Troy street to California (that was about all I could handle) I plan to increase the amount of jogging I do. Baby steps for now. I also completed the 30 minute Windsor Pilates Buns and Thighs and let me just say.....ooooowwwww. I will hurt tomorrow but it will be worth it!!



Food for today has been ok, not the best, thanks to those chocolate covered raisins I found at the office. I plan not to splurge with dinner so hopefully I can counter act some of those raisins.



So anyway, here you go my progress!!



Yeah Me!!!

I'm Here and Committed

So here I am too! I am committed to make this work for me. It helps to have something to be accountable to.

Here is a pic of me, taken in Oct. at Disneyland. It was the most recent pic I could find that actually showed my FAT arms and some of my Booty! Oh yeah, let's not forget my chin! LOL So I'm gonna post pics every now and again to mark my progress.

I don't care about what the scale says, I want to get into a size 8!

I'm a size 12 Right now, so 8 here I come!!!

Jan 8th

So I decided to take the girls for a walk with me yesterday afternoon. I bundeled them up in 2 pairs of pants, 1 under shirt, 1 shirt, 1 sweatshirt, 1 jacket liner, 1 jacket, a scarf, mittens and winter hat. They also had a blanket each. The mist was so wet that I was wet by the time I got back home, the ground looked as if it had rained but none the less I still walked 30 minutes. I did feel much better once I got home. I had strugled with exhaustion all day (maybe a thyroid thing) but getting out there gave me some lost energy. I will have to remember that!

Purpose

Ok so the purpose of this blog is to keep me on track! I am tired of trying to lose weight and am looking for accountability. So here it is!!!

My goal:

Walk 30 mins atleast 3 days a week.
Do Pilaties atleast 3 days a week.
Cut back on sugar intake as well as other food intake.
Do not use food as a comfort when bored or depressed.
No more sodas or rather no more in my home. An occasional dinner treat is ok.
No more fast food just because I failed to plan. (this is also a financial goal)

So there it is. It has become increasingly dificult to lose weight since the twins. I have also discovered and irregularity in my thyroid. I have 2 appointments in March to check it out. One is a follow up and one is a second opinion. My goal is to do my best for the next 3 months, so I can take my results to the Doctors and hopefully make a decision.

So now it is out there for the world to see. I must follow through.

Thanks for reading!!
