Workout

Last week was not a great week to start working out but I did start the diet.  Today I just finished Legs and Lungs on my EA Active Wii workout.  Got a good sweat going and even burned more calories than the target set by the game.  Now to keep this up.  I have a great goal in mind and I know I can achieve it, just gotta stick with it.  My poor kids, I had to have them sit down and not be around me.  I almost kicked one of my sons twice because he got too close in trying to do exercises with me. My legs are a tremblin', it feels good to be exhausted from doing something good for me :)

Following Through

I had a not so diet conscious weekend.  I ran out of my skim milk and my slimfast mix, so I had to go shopping.  The idea is stay on the diet all 7 days of a week and not to take a break on the weekends.  The end result that I want very badly is what is keeping me on track, even with my minor setback this weekend.  I still desire the results and am eager to seem them come to fruition.  So, off to another start and I have all the stuff I need now.  I will say that I made a pretty decent dinner yesterday in terms of healthy.  I made ground turkey round steak, asparagus and homemade strawberry shortcake for dessert.  Looking forward to continuing the weight loss.

Happy

It is the end of the week and I have lost another pound.  Woohoo!  2 lbs down and a long way to go. 

Improvement

Well, I have been doing my diet and getting more exercise.  Cut out soda, drinking water but it has to be ICE water.  I know, I'm weird.  As silly as it may be, I weighed myself this morning and have lost 1 pound!  It's a start and considering where I am at regarding my weight, I will take it!

First Day of a New future!

So far today is going pretty well.  Drank my Slimfast, just had an apple with crunchy peanut butter.  Drinking water.  I have had a few moments of, "ooo that sounds yummy."  I am glad that I was successful in keeping those thoughts as just thoughts and not eating things I shouldn't.  If I can keep beating the psychology behind my eating into submission, I know I will be able to triumph and be successful.  It is getting hot here so that means outside is going to be more miserable.  I am going to keep doing my inside exercise programs and try to get the kids outside in some sprinklers or something throughout the weeks of the summer. 

Continued

Found a cool little calculator that told me, if I kick up my exercise from light to aggressive, which I plan to do, and if I decrease my current calorie intake, which I also plan to do, I can lose a desired 50lbs around October.  September is my 10 year Reunion so that is really the goal but having most of it gone by then is still pretty good.  Excited to get started.  Good things to come!

Can't stand it anymore!

I will admit, my weight is My fault.  I never lost the baby weight in between my kids and have continued to just let it pile on.  I am at the heaviest I have ever been and other body parts are beginning to suffer because of it.  My feet have been killing me lately and I can only attribute it to my weight.  So, I am starting a personal challenge.  I am not Catholic and I know Lent has passed but I am challenging myself to start my diet and exercise and stick with it for 40 days.  No more soda.  I have informed my husband, it is banned, no matter how much I may need the caffeine one day.  I am starting on Monday.  I can't be this heavy anymore.  I have a full life ahead of me to live for myself and my family.  I need to be healthier, for MY sake.  I am also going to try to post weekly my progress. Time to take charge of my life!
