Up and At EM, again

It was still hard to get up this morning! I hope that changes.

P90X-Cardio X is done, whahooo

Planning on going for a walk this afternoon about 4 miles.
Gym tonight to lift

My weekly weigh in day is tomorrow, but I weighed myself today and I'm at 213.8-2 lbs lower than yesterday, so I'm moving in the right direction. I hope to continue stellar weight loss by working out 3 times a day and eating right. I didn't sit down yesterday until after dinner. I was waiting to go to the gym, and even then I kept getting up to do things. Now I see how people don't have time for TV. I have always wanted to be that person, never having time or wanting to waste my time with TV. It seems that is more possible now.

I have lots of cleaning to do today and grocery trip, so see ya tonight!

Food for thought: When reaching for a goal, everyday counts until you reach that goal-Balanced Bites Nutrition (they are on my favorites links on the side-check em out)

Good

I was good ALL day!

I stayed on track with my food and I did as I planned with exercise.

Workouts:
p90X-Core Synergistic
2.5 mile walk/jog
45 minute lifting at the gym

Food:
oatmeal, flax seed, and almond milk
prunes
salad with turkey and cottage cheese
Fish with salad and dinner roll
2 oz yogurt
1 cup plain popcorn

According to Internet calculations here is my input/output stats.
Calories eaten 1151
Calories burned 1169

I didn't mean to have such a low calorie day. I forgot to eat my snack after my run and that would have been about 200 more calories. I have been drinking water like a fool though. Feels so good! I'm tired and I am doing it all again tomorrow so I'm off to bed.

Up and At EM

I don't like getting up early, but I did and I will continue to achieve my goals. This is my year, my time, I deserve this and to take care of myself!

P90X Core Synergistics done

off to eat breakfast and get the kids up...........See ya tonight.

Awkward

That is how I felt as I worked out tonight in a gym full of young, fit, marines. I felt completely out of place. Not to mention it was nearly impossible to get on any kind of squat bar because they were using it as a bench rack. Made no sense to me. There are 2 squat racks and maybe 10 bench racks, why can't they just use the bench racks so us squatters can squat :) So I used the linear hack press. That was amazing! I like it so much more. I can focus on my leg muscles.

Rant over. Here is to many more days of feeling awkward, until the awkward goes away and pride and joy resumes.

2011 is Around the Corner

Well, 2011 is around the corner and after talking to my husband it is going to be a very lonely year. We will see each other for probably a total of 2 months because of deployment and pre-deployment stuff. BOO! My energy will be focused on losing this weight once and for all and keeping the kids and I sane while Daddy is gone.

I am starting this week, today in fact. I threw out all the holiday leftover candy and food. I am focused and ready to hit the gym tonight.

The Plan:
1 to 2 hour workout with Heidi in the morning
Afternoon walk/jog with Carmen
Evening weight lifting/gym time alone

The Food:
I am going to eat as close to whole as possible. Cutting out the sugar and refined foods. Eating portion correct sizes.

I am still a little sick, but I am so stir crazy from staying home for the last 2 months with a sick family and self. I am ready to go, move, get it.

Weigh ins will be weekly.
Pictures will be random.
Measurements will be monthly.

My first milestone of the year will be in March for my 30th birthday. I am excited to see what kind of changes I can achieve by then.

Changes Coming

This is going to be a very personal, very real journey to health. It is going to include the good, bad, and the very ugly. I am ready to be on the outside how I feel on the inside, simpy fabulous :)-

I will give you all the detail soon, but wanted to let you know that the journey is a go........

SICK!

Well, last time I posted was about the same time my kids were getting sick and we are still sick, me included! I was able to keep it off for a while but now I am completely and totally in the thick of it!! It is horrible. As soon as we think we are getting better and it is safe to be social again, someone else comes home with something.

Anyway, I have a plan and a friend of mine that I have met here, we intend to start as soon as the holidays are over and we are all better. Which I hope the all better comes before the holidays are over because at this point I feel that my sweet little girl will have a horrible first Christmas.

Please pray for us, and our surrounding friends because it seems to have hit us all.
