I know............AGAIN!

Okay, here I go again, again and again.  After another hiatus I have started my workouts again.


I do not know how I expect myself to loose weight if 80+ percent of my daily intake of food is Carbohydrates.  I LOVE bread and pasta.  When I concentrate on increasing my proteins (3X's the norm) I don't have as much of an issue with carbs and calories, but it is a lot of work and my days seem to be totally involved with food.  Being so absorbed on my intake tends to backfire and I eat more.  But as long as they are proteins I loose weight. ;-)


Well, we shall see.  


I dug my 14's out of my closet and drawers and put them where I see them everyday, to encourage my weight loss.  I forgot how many clothing items I still had that I loved wearing.


I have been uber busy with the kids, playing the good soccer mom, which has kept me out of the kitchen.  Good?  No, just means more Sonic.

Starting over, AGAIN!

Okay the kids are back in school as of yesterday, YEAH!  I did my strength training yesterday instead of going back to bed.  It was my first day back since the stomach flu  1 1/2 weeks ago.  I attempted to do 20 min of cardio after my s-w/o but my tummy cramped and my right hamstring was screaming so I listened to my body and figured it had had enough.  I am really dragging this morning, but I have cardio on the mind.  Unfortunately I went back to bed this morning and slept till 10am, with headache most likely due to my irregular sleeping habits.

I also started back on my diet and am dedicated to loosing 10 lbs at a time.  I weighed myself again at the YMCA (post workout, not a good idea) and weighed a deflating 243......but I have to restart somewhere.

Several of the ladies were casually mentioning getting a w/o group together maybe I can spearhead an movement.

Aug. 2, 2011

Vacation is done and back on the treadmill -- literally.  I am back in the exercise of things hitting the gym today and I plan on doing my first group class tomorrow.  I am anxiously anticipating BodyPump at the Hays YMCA tomorrow.  It fits right in the time window I have with the kids in VBS this week.

Before VC I weighed in at 240 on the YMCA's scale......yuck yuck.  I need to weigh in tomorrow before class.

I have a trainer at the Y and asked her to pop me e-mail's weekly to keep me more accountable and I am getting a rapport with the front desk crew now, which also is encouraging.

same same

Well, I am staying the same weight but not loosing, I doubt I will be where I want to be before the community pool opens on the 14th.

My daughter started swim team last week and I have been riding my bike back and forth to the pool with baby on the back (big almost 3 year old) it is just shy of 2 miles round trip but with Miller on the back it is a good workout coming home.  I need to encourage myself to get out more often, I keep promising myself more exercise but just not motivated.

Plus5

My jeans felt a little tight yesterday, I must have gained 5 back.

I haven't been exercising this week.  I have been concentrating on craft-sanity.  Everynight I go to bed promising myself that I will get up and walk first thing (after coffee) BUT  hasn't happened yet.  Maybe tomorrow.

Time used wisely.

I finally did my circuit workout during my daughters Tae Kwon Do class at the Y.  I kept finding flimsy reasons not to head downstairs and get busy.  I felt so much better after my workout.

On the way to the Y I was terribly irritated and short tempered.  After my workout, on our way to church, I laughed and giggled with my kids.  I was in a much better place mentally and physically.

Field Trip to Cemetary

Well, my routine of exercise that I have been building has been derailed by the Third Grade Field Trip to the Texas State Cemetery. 

Of course, I walked miles especially chasing my 2.5 year old who wanted to be anywhere but where I wanted to be.  LOL  Isn't how the little tikes are.  Then we went to the Pease Park and sweated off a few pounds.  Unfortunately, (for us), the play equipment was being renovated but fortunately for the next time it will be all spuced up.  The kids did not really care they made up their own games and played in the open field like most of us did in our younger years.  Turned out to be a beautiful day, quite warm by noon but a nice breeze blowing kept things comfortable.

Plan on taking the kids to swim tomorrow, hopefully I will get a few laps in at the YMCA.....Yeah, Right!

Lost 2 lbs .... again

Okay, feeling better after a bout of a flu bug.  Have been CRAVING carbs lately.  But back in the saddle today, did, okay, not great.

Still at 222 lbs now just to get one foot in front of the other.

Stalled.

I have been uninterested in working toward my goal since Richard went into surgery.  He is recovering well but the zingers and doughnuts he is bringing into the house is just a temptaion I just cannot turn down in my fram of mind.  I can definately feel the negative effects all the high surgar and bad carbs along with the stress on my energy level. 

Richard's surgery was to remove a cancerous tumor on the lower lumbar.  All the unknowns and his general bad mood and gloomy outlook really zapped me of any energy and willingness to exercise and eat right.......

Get my butt in gear...... go go go.

Okay, Where am I now?

I mean really, where did I miss the bus.  I cannot seem to get myself going again. 

Be possitive, be happy and get out the door!

The New Year 2011

Today is a new year plus one day.  I finally had the courage to weigh myself after the holidays.  I really was very very very bad.  Not so much in quantity but in quality.

Well, here we start again.   Today my stats are at 10am:
     weight          223.5
     bmi               35.9

     waist              43'
     hips               46'
     bust               38/47'
     thighs            L28/R28.5

I am going down in inches and inching my weight down.  I keep saying I need to get serious about this.  I need to get myself on a routine and quick.

Goal to be under 200 lbs by Valentine's Day.  I need to work very hard at my diet and exercise commitment.
