Go me!

I am so proud of myself. The inner thin healthy girl is currently in the driver seat. I love her. I love her motivation. I love her focus. She talked me through my 10 minute work out this morning while Fat Girl me fought back the tears. FG knows she's one peanut butter cup away from a heart attack. Thin Girl told her to keep going and finish strong. She remindered her of reasons she's doing this, to be apart of my children's lives longer. To be around to see Grandchildren.
Fat people don't live long. When was the last time you saw a fat 80 year old? My life expectancy is probably in the 60s right now. I need to change that and I will change that.
Thin Girl also reminded Fat Girl about the cute clothes she could wear. And day dreamed about wearing a bikini, he'll even a bathing suit that wasn't a moo-moo.
I realize I will need a body lift. I already have skin sagging. I will find a doctor to talk to when I get to 150lb. Right now my focus is on loosing 5lbs. And I'm going great. I already see a difference in the scale from earlier this week. I won't count how much I lost until I have been working out a week. Next Tuesday is official weigh in for me.
So to recap, working out for my kids, grandkids that I dream about, cute clothes and a bikini, oh and sex! Lots and lots of sex!!! Not to toot my own horn, but sex with me is already pretty great according to my last lover. I can't imagine what it would be like if I was thin enough to try some of those positions on sexinfo101!
Time to hit the shower and have an amazing day where I stick to my meal plan, drink water, SMILE and believe in myself.
Go Maria, you've got this!

Just 10 minutes

That's the deal I made with myself this week. Just a 10 minute work out every day.
I need to listen to myself, there is a skinny chick inside me who wants to come out.
So I did it. 10 minutes. Go me!

One small step

I'm not giving up. I need to believe in myself. I do believe in myself. I know I can do this. Working out is a key for me. I did a 10 minute work out. I feel my legs shaking. That's good.
Yesterday I did well with food, pat on the back for me. If I want to succeed I need a plan. My plan is a work out every morning.
Congratulate yourself Maria, you aren't giving up.

Give me...

Yippie for my drill sergeant.
I dropped and gave him 9 again. And getting to that 9 was difficult. I think I do 5 really well now.
He also had me do jumping jacks. I am sure I could have done more, but note to self; make sure you're wearing a bra! At number 15 I couldn't take the girls bouncing around anymore and tried holding them, my son laughed so hard...well that was that!
Tune in tomorrow for another exciting post of drop and give me....
This has been a message from my big fat ass!
You can do this.

Drop and give me...

Nine! That's today's push up number.
My son has been slacking off. I reminded him to make me do the push ups. I'm really happy with the 9!
Didn't do well with my water today. I need to be better.
Eating shrimp or beans for most of my meals. Baby steps are better than no steps.

♡ my scale

WOW!!! My scale is down 5lbs.
I made small chances. Drinking water, being aware of what I am eating, cutting out sweets, I drank a lot of water the days I was home and could go to the bathroom every 5 minutes.
I'm happy. Looking forward to another week. I know it might be just 1 pound each week and that's fine.
Thanks Cheryl for your inspiration.

Drop and give me...6

My little soldier is enjoying saying, "Drop and give me 20" more like 6!!
I gave him 5 last night and 6 again this morning. He told me he believes in me and that I will get to 20.
We are helping each other. I am working with him to help him read more, he's encouraging me to get fit.
Thank goodness for my little boys. They are the reason I am always fighting to lose weight.

6, 20, 10

This morning my son counted for me
6 push ups
20 squats
10 lunges on each leg.
Must drink more water today

Drop down and give me 20

New goal! Get up to 20 push ups. I haven't worked out in a while. I need to start with baby steps.
My son is helping me. He is in charge of counting push ups. He likes to say Drop down and give me 20...lol I gave him 5...and that was hard.
I can do this.
