New Year's Resolutions!

I don't usually make resolutions, too many years of not sticking to them.  This year, I am so close to my 20lbs lost mark that I am so motivated!  This year is going to be great, fitness and health all the way.  I want to get under 200lbs!  And now it is totally possible, I never thought it would have been.  my husband and kids got me the fitness stuff I asked for a resistance ball, a 10lb fitness ball and the EA Active program for the Wii and I am so excited!!! Here's to a better, healthier life for me, my kids and my husband.  This year I am going to get skinny and pregnant and skinny again and I am going to LIVE IT UP!!!  Life is too short to stress, work it out and live the way you want to.  HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE~MAKE IT A GREAT ONE!

Feeling Better

I was sick right after Christmas and didn't eat for a couple of days.  I am finally feeling better today.  I got my husband's birthday cake in the oven and while it was baking for 20minutes, I used my new exercise equipment that I got for Christmas and did some workouts.  I used my resistance ball and my weighted fitness ball (10lbs) and did some crunches and stretches.  It felt wonderful.  Before that this morning, I got on my Wii Fit and weighed myself and I have lost about 2 more pounds since I was sick.  So, what better than to get back into the swing of the diet when you couldn't eat much anyways.  So, 17lbs gone and it's going to keep going.

A long time coming...

Over the past month, I swear I ate over half of all the goodies I made to distribute to other people.  There was always enough that there were left overs, but I was having major stress eating cravings.  I finally got back on my diet, the exercise is coming along, but I haven't been as diligent.  Shame on me.  I have also felt like crap because of it, so there ya go!  But things are looking up.  All the weight I thought I was for sure to have gained back, didn't end up being so bad.  It ended up that I did enough exercising in between all my sweet treats, that I only gained about 2lbs and maintained.  So even though I didn't lose it, I didn't gain any more than that either.  So, I am hovering around my 13lbs weight loss and working towards making it a total of 20lbs.  Today is the big day though, it is my doctor's appt where I get to stop my birth control.  I am very excited and motivated even more to keep up the health approach I have adapted so that I am healthier with the pending pregnancy.  I am ready for another baby and I am made a realistic type goal of being under 200lbs when I have the baby, after I get pregnant of course.  That is only 30 lbs away and I did 15 in a couple of months, so it should work out over the next year.  I really want to look great this time next year and things will be different this time around anyways.  Wish me luck!
