4th day of working out

I was so tired this morning. The baby was so fussy. I didn't get a good night's sleep with the fuss pot, the 2am feeding and the 7am feeding.. and the wondering man I am currently married to had the nerve to tell me he was tired after going to bed at 10pm! I will give him tired, come here let me kick you in the face.. wait I can't get my leg up that high yet! Dammit..I will work on that.

I got on the scale and the number went down.. so I put my game face on

and did Debbie Siebers's Slim in 6® start it up. There was no way I could do Jillian Michael's another day.

In the afternoon I went over to visit with my aunt and cousins. My uncle had open heart surgery today.... it runs in the family so I need to get this weight OFF now. I don't want to die in my 60's like my grandfather.

I felt really good when I got dressed, I'm feeling strong and determined. I snapped this photo of myself in the van on the drive over to my aunts.

Day 3 of working out

Dear old you,
You can do it. I'm thin now. Don't give up. I know it's hard but it will get easier, you'll be able to work out longer, you'll even have heavier weights to use, cute work out clothes too. Believe in yourself, remember your theme song to keep you going when your legs and arms are burning.
In 18 short months you'll take your kids to a water park and won't feel like a beached whale. Keep up the good work, you are awesome! Just keep believing in a better future for yourself.

another workout

Today I did some of the Jillian Michaels. Damn she's hard for me but I knew if I did the same workout from yesterday I wouldn't make 10 minutes. My legs are killing me from yesterday.

less than 10 minutes into my workout Alexander started screaming, so I turned around and faced him while he was sitting in his little chair. I know he doesn't understand what mommy is doing, but I felt like screaming "shut up kid, don't you want to go bike riding with mommy or go to a water park?"

I am holding him in my left arm right now as I type with one hand.

Ha I really thought I was smiling! you can see how red my face is from the workout!

I'm done...now I just need to stick to my diet again today...GO ME!

I did it!

I did the 24 minutes of the "start it up" section of Debbie Sieber's Slim in 6 I really like that there is a countdown clock for the whole work out and each area we are working on also has it's own clock. That really helped to keep me going.

After 10 minute I wanted to stop but just pushed myself. I even put my camera on its timer to get a few pictures. I just looked at the pictures and HATE how I look. But isn't that the point? I hate how I look so I am doing something about it. I decided to post one of the pictures to keep myself motivated.

I need to keep going. I don't want to miss out on fun stuff with my boys because mommy is too fat. I want to ride a bike with my boys, take them to a water park and take a trip on a plane without worrying if I will fit in the seat.

Losing weight also means cuter clothes, maybe getting checked out once in while and better sex *grin*!!!

so here's to me on my first work out day and sticking to my diet. Now I need a shower!

emotional

Been very emotional today and that's not good for eating correctly. I had a hamburger with fired onions, cheese on a roll. Then snacked on dried veggies. I hate feeling like this! I miss my smile. I miss feeling good. And I hate being this emotional and crying all day.

I need to snap myself out of this and remember my plan to work out tomorrow. I can do it, right? just wish the tears would stop.

down 3.5 this week!!!

Totally amazing!! I knew I felt it but I thought it would be 1.5 MAYBE 2lbs not 3.5. I started crying when the scale showed the number. I even asked "is that right?"

Now I really need to make it my mission this week to work out again. I should just stop what I'm doing and when I put my older one on the bus do a work out. Okay that's the plan for Monday... 1pm put a work out dvd in and do my best.

something happened today!

On Saturday I went shopping for new bras. After gaining weight with the baby and losing it again my bras didn't fit right and the girls were sagging. I had NO idea how great I would feel with these new bras and the girls sitting where they belong.

I am a stay at home mom and the last few months of my pregnancy I was hardly getting dressed to put my 4yr old on the bus for school. This year I have been getting dressed every day. My son has been asking if I'm going out because he was so used to me in my pjs.

Well today I put on my new red bra, which made me feel sexy and grabbed what I call a 'house shirt'.. meaning I wouldn't go out of the house wearing it because it either doesn't cover the saggy baby belly I am left with, or it has a stain or it is too tight...you know what I mean.. WELL this so called 'house shirt' is NO LONGER a house shirt!!! I rejected it because it didn't hide saggy belly, but with dropping a few pounds AND my new amazing lift bras, I feel amazing today!!!!!!!

I have a LONG way to go but these little things make me feel GREAT!

down 6lbs the first week!

wooo hoo back on track for me! I'm so excited. The first week is always great, now if I can handle 1 to 2 lbs a week I will be very happy. if it's more I'll jump up and down. My goal right now isn't really a number on the scale, it's to get back into the new jeans I bought right before I found out I was pregnant.

Next weigh in is Friday Jan 13th.

Hello out there!

If you wondered where the heck I went, here's the answer

I found out I was pregnant and of course you can't diet while pregnant.
My baby boy was born via emergency c-section at 34 weeks gestation.
here's a video I put together

Make a video - it's fun, easy and free!

I'm back on my diet! I changed my weight ticker to my weight on the day I gave birth. Today is my first weigh in and I'm excited.
My first goal is to get back into the jeans I was wearing the day I found out I was pregnant!
