update

yesterday my workout went great! Eating was good and I don't feel like I overate. I did have a miniature chocolate, but only one. Today I was having bathroom issues so I only did half of my run, BUT I was able to run the entire 40 minutes which is HUGE for me. I was very impressed that I found a rhythm and went with it. It is exciting to accomplish the small goals along the way.

side note: I'm watching ellen while typing this and Pink is performing and she looks awesome!!!

Anyhow, I am just trying to stay focused and not look at how far I could be but how much I have already done. I was talking to Jeff and we both think that I am in the best shape ever I just have a lot of fat layers to shed. I have amazing endurance and feel great, but I really need to get the fat off.

Jeff has been counseled on his weight and so he is really trying to get his weight back down to regulations too. I figure I should be an example and get down with him. I have 30 lbs to go to get to Marine Corps maximum regulations for females. Jeff has about 25 lbs to lose.

Last week was a bust I was only able to workout 1 day because of the snow. BUT I did get a compliment from Jeff's boss who hasn't seen me for a couple weeks. He asked if I had lost weight cause I was starting to slim down, so that was nice. Jeff is doing a lot better about saying things too. I love my hunny!

This weeks Plan

My run today was nice! I got into a rhythm really quickly and was off. I feel great. I feel like my metabolism is in high gear and I have turned my weight wheel to LOSE instead of Gain, or maintain. That is my own little saying. I am finding that I am motivated this week. I don't know why, but I will take it. Yeah!!!! My goal for January was to say goodbye to the 190s. I don't know if I am going to make it, but I still have a little over a week. So, I am giving it all I've got.

Micah and I signed the paperwork and started receiving our Raw Milk Herd Share today. I am excited to get the good nutrients I was intended to get by drinking milk. I'm sure I will see the difference in Micah for sure. It will be nice to raise a strong, healthy boy. There is so much pressure on parents to get it right. I know that there is not one right way to raise a child. I hope that I will do a good job though. He is getting more and more fun everyday. I really love that little boy! He is becoming such a sweet little boy.

I am so ready for another baby! Maybe that is where my motivation comes to lose this last amount of weight. I told myself that I can not get pregnant until I get it off. I don't want to be huge like I was last time. I was so uncomfortable by the end, and it took a long recovery too. I would like to make it as enjoyable as child baring can be. LOL

I feel very blessed. The Lord is very much present in our lives and I feel that right now! I love having this feeling of comfort and peace. I hope you all have that in your life!

No Way

So I did the Master Cleanse a whole day. By the end of the day I was so sick. I don't know if it was the cleanse or just me but I had a massive headache, my stomach was killing me, and I had the chills. So, I drank a large glass of water and went to bed. I woke up this morning feeling better, but I am not doing the cleanse anymore.

blah,

BUT my training is going awesome this week. I feel really good and so far so good this week!

Cleanse

Jeff is going hunting for a week and while he is gone I am doing a cleanse. I am going to cleanse the inside of my body and cleanse my mind. Here is what I am doing:

10-days of the Master Cleanse diet
No TV at all! That is what a DVR is for.
1-hour of computer time a day only to be when Micah is sleeping.


There will be lots of reading and playing going on at my house the next week. I start Tomorrow and I am planning on using part of my hour of computer time to blog about it.
