15 in 15 weigh in


YAY!!!! IM DOWN 1LB THIS WEEK!!!! I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE A LOSS FOR TWO WEEKS IN A ROW! SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE I KNOW I WILL BE DOING PLENTY OF WALKIN ON SUNDAY. First year of trick or treating for my son, he is Nemo this year.
yeah Jillian's 30 day shred kicked my butt on monday!!! I was so sore Tuesday and Wednesday that I could barely move. I have to admit that I have not done the dvd again since Monday. I have just been focusing on still recovering from this horrible cold I have had and now given to my husband. I even went to the dr on wednesday and she prescribed a antibiotic to kick it in the butt. I feel so much better. So anyway thats all for now.

Weigh in post and OMG!

That Which Is Bitter To Endure, Is Sweet To Remember

Last Friday I had a loss of 0.5lb. Not great but its good because I was sick all week and I did not do anything for exercise.
Now onto the OMG part of my title. I just finished doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred day 1 level 1 and OMG!!!!! What a workout! I had no idea I could get that good of a workout at home! I am so happy I decided to do it today. I took the opportunity to do it while my son took his nap. I am planning on doing this during his nap everyday this week. I am very excited and happy that I have the 30 day shred!
Oh and I put this dress on layaway as a goal outfit. Its a size 14 and I am very excited for this dress because I have a pair of Zebra print heels that will look HOTT with it.
The DRESS
Satin Sheath with Ruffle Detail
LOVE THIS DRESS!!!! anyway thats all for today.
Jillian day 2 tomorrow very interested to see if I am sore from today!

15 in 15

That Which Is Bitter To Endure, Is Sweet To Remember

So I am down 2lbs for this weeks weigh in! Which means I have successfully lost 1 pound in the three weeks we have been going!
I am excited for week 4! My plan for week 4 for exercise is go for a 20 to 30 min walk everyday with my son in the stroller. That way he gets to be outside and there is a park not to far from my house so he will get some exercise too!
After having such an extravagant plan last week and failing miserably since I didn't go at all I have decided to take an easier approach to the exercise portion. I am doing pretty good with the diet. I am doing my best to stay away from bread and pastas and sweets. The soda is the most difficult thing to stop drinking!

Mid Week Update

After I posted on Sunday, I went to bed and woke up Monday sick. I am finally feeling better this evening. I have not made it to the gym this week yet because I was running a fever with my cold or whatever it was. After being in the hill country for the wedding this past weekend it probably started as allergies and progressed into a bit of a cold. The one thing that I love about my body is that I get better quickly as long as I take vitamin C and drink a lot of orange juice.
I hope to make it to the gym Thursday before my dentist appointment. So I know its not much of an update but oh well its something. And I have not started my diet yet. Hopefully I can start that by next Monday.
That is all for now.

Really LLLOOONNNGGG update!

I apologize in advance for the length of this post, it is long!!!
I tried out Zumba last week. It is so much fun. I was lost at first but I caught on pretty quickly. It was definitely a workout for me considering how sedentary my life is. Wednesday when I went for Zumba class in the evening there were no Zumba instructors available. The substitute instructor was the Cardio Variety class teacher. Oh my goodness that was such a workout! I was almost crying halfway through. I was ready to give up but then I looked in the mirror...and what I saw looking back at me was a girl who had given up so many times before and I knew that if I walked out of that class it would mean another 3, 6, 9 months or a year before I picked up this journey again.
I STAYED!!! That is such a hurdle for me to have overcome. Finally realizing that I deserve to be healthy and fit and live a long happy life is so wonderful. I am worth it!!!
I did not make it to the gym on Tuesday. I just didn't go. However after my realization on Wednesday I think I will be more determined to make it to the gym or find a way to exercise at home EVERY day.
A special thank you shout out the Beth, the instructor, of the cardio variety class for making me feel comfortable in your class.
I binged on Friday...UGH! And I didn't work out on Thursday or Friday! Darn. I really wish I had more discipline.
My brothers wedding was beautiful on Saturday. We had a blast!!! I did pretty good on eating over the weekend. We danced a lot at the reception so I got in some cardio. I am so happy for Jason and Erin!!!
Now onto this weeks plan:

Monday: Zumba and ABS

Tuesday: Upper body strength training

Wednesday: Zumba and ABS

Thursday: Lower body strength training

Friday: Zumba and ABS

Saturday: Upper body strength training

Sunday: Rest Day.
Along with this workout plan I am going to begin the diet I did for my wedding back in 2007. I will be cutting out all soda, white bread and pastas, and sweets. When I did this the last time I lost 45lbs and 5 dress sizes in 2 months. The longest I will do this diet is 3 months. After 3 months I will allow myself these foods again in a healthy moderate ways.
I am very excited and hoping to see a loss on the scale at the end of this week!

Bad Weigh In


At a +3lbs for this weeks weigh in. :( So i was just thinking that if i lost 2lbs last week and gained 3lbs this week, that technically means only a gain of 1lb. So I'm not feeling as bad about it now as I was this morning. However I feel like crap for *binging* on McDonald's for dinner! I mean seriously it didn't even taste that good and I just kept eating it! I couldn't stop. So now I'm watching "Super Size Me" a film by Morgan Spurlock. I'm hoping it will cause me to stay away from McDonald's as much as possible.
Must work on what I eat.
Going to my brothers wedding this weekend! Very excited about the wedding not very happy that I did not lose the 25lbs that I wanted to by this event. However, life goes on, and I will push on and keep trying. I need to change my nutrition. I need to add a lot more of fruits and vegetables. I need to kick cheese and red meat out almost 100%. I will attempt to cut white breads and pastas out of my diet again. Not forever just for a month to start. I MUST CHANGE MYSELF to give my son a healthy outlook on food and a healthy happy life and the hope that he will never have to deal with being overweight. I never want my son to have to deal with the emotional aspects of being overweight or having to overcome his habits (influenced by me) as an adult. I also do not want him to have to deal with the teasing that I had to deal with in school.
Tomorrow is a new day, I will make healthier choices. Tomorrow will be a better day!
I will be posting again on Sunday to talk about how I liked Zumba and too post my planned workout schedule for next week.

This is the first time in a LLLOOOOOONNNGGG time that I have actually written out what I plan to do as far as exercise.

Monday--Zumba Class 1hr. and Abs

Tuesday--Boot Camp Class 1hr.

Wednesday--Zumba Class 1hr. and Abs

Thursday--Cycle Class 45min. and 15min ABS class(really interested in this class)

I am so excited for this week. I will update as much as possible this week to let you know how it's going for me and if I like the classes. From what I've heard about Zumba I will love it. And I know I will like the Boot Camp classes, I have always loved these type of classes or workshops!
I am worried about the Cycling Class, I have never tried it and am not a fan of cycling.
