Very little work out

Today I did a very little work out. I can feel the burn in my legs from the last few days. When this happened last month I just fizzled out because it took 4 days for it to stop hurting going up and down my steps.
I don't want that to happen again. I was to build up gradually and keep going than push hard and stop.
I want this. And my future me is feeling determined.
I know I have come a long way. The difference in my face along is huge. I should be proud and not defeated.
So go going you. You know you can do this. Love yourself. Look how far you have come.

Be your own cheerleader

Maria, you can do this. Small steps will make positive changes. Small work outs will lead to longer ones.
Pat on the back for another work out. Now drink your water today and make healthy choices on food.
Good job, see you tomorrow morning.

Good habits

I am working towards building good habits. I know from my most successful weight loss what works for me is to work out in the am, blog about it, drink lots of water and have 1800 calories a day.
I went to bed last night feeling determined. Got up this morning feeling the same way.
Put my son on the bus and did a 20 minute work out.
Now I need to cross 8 glasses of water of my list and follow my diet plan :)

Okay I did it

Yesterday I worked on my Paparazzi business and was too sore from the day before to work out. After Tuesday work out I went out with my kids and walked around all night, hitting my target steps of 6000. I walked 2.66 miles that night so I am counting that as yesterday's work out. I'm not sure how to add that in minutes to my work out, so I only get myself 20 minutes for the 3 hours I was out with my kids walking around.

I did some abs today and damn those are a killer too! I am super sore. This old lady will be taking some Aleve today.  okay work out done, back to my full time Mommy job! I have dishes to wash, laundry to do and kids to play with!

Jell Legs

I forgot how much my legs hurt when doing squats. I officially have jello legs. I don't know if I will be able to go up and down my stairs today. But it's worth it! I am already feeling good about myself.

I did 12 minutes of the work out. It might not seem like a lot but I know if I push myself harder I won't be here on day 3!

Getting back into the swing of things 1 step at a time :)

if you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything - back to the future

Well like Doc is always saying "If you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything"

So here I am back to "accomplish". When I started this blog in 2011, I didn't even have my 2nd child. I have come a long way since then but I am still not where I think I should be.

I was challenged to work out this month.  I haven't worked out in a long time. I've gone walking but nothing that has made me want to blog again.

Yesterday I wrote my to do list for today and I put on it "work out". I wasn't sure how far I would get but I remembered how I couldn't even do jumping jacks when I started in 2011. That was more than 60lbs ago, almost 100 if you count me at my heaviest walking into the hospital to give birth.

I managed to do 10 minutes. Tomorrow I will go for 13 minutes. I am not going to push myself to the point where I don't want to continue. I want to continue!!!

 I can see how much weight I lost in my face. People who have just met me can't believe my photos from 2011, they say it doesn't look like me.I remember getting that photo taken in 2011. I was dressed up, my hair was done, make up on. I felt good. I felt fantastic in June at my cousin's birthday party. But I want to feel better! So I will keep pushing myself.

And I know I won't be happy until I am not carrying around this big stomach. Funny, it was my ass that used to bother me most. That's why I named this blog My Big Fat Ass. Now it's my stomach. And if that means I have to have a tummy tuck I will. But first I want to get off at least 60 more pounds.

My goals this month are to work out every day, that's it! I will weigh myself and I am focusing on getting off 10lbs at a time. Watch how you 10lbs, I'm coming after you.

See you tomorrow
