Been a while

Well, I am back at it after taking some time to get everything together.  I start back into it tomorrow morning.  My alarm clock is set, the PS3 remote is charging and we shall see how much I can do.  Not going to do any sort of supplements just taking daily vitamins and really watching what I eat.  Going back to no soda's.  I won't stop my coffee but will start drinking more water.

Will update tomorrow and see how it goes!

2nd Mini Goal Met!!

I am happy to announce that I am finally out of the 180's!!  I have lost a total of 15 lbs!!!  At 20lbs lost I will do some more pictures, ahh hell I may get a hair up my ass and do some before then.  I am so proud of myself, just need to keep going!  Hope every one who is reading this has a wonderful day!

Almost time

It is almost that time for measurements!  8 more days and I will see how many inches I have lost.  Haven't been sticking to a "regular" workout regime, but I have been very active, whether is has been swimming with the kids or playing at the park with them.  I will take some updated pictures with this weigh in/measurement day.  Hopefully I will be able to see a difference from when I started this.

Tried something new for breakfast, I made banana pancakes.  I personally did not care for them, neither did Booger, he had a bite or two then was done, so that was a no go.  Oh well!

I am off for the day, might go for a walk then off to go pick up Boo, she had her first stay over and grandma and grandpa's house!  Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend!  Happy 4th everyone!

Bad Food Day

I had a crappy eating day yesterday, from mac and cheese to pizza and strawberry shortcake to top it all off.  Wow I can't believe how much it all adds up.  Oh not to mention some cherry coke with the popcorn.  Oh well I know we all have those days, good thing is I only did 2 little pieces of pizza and not a whole lot of mac and cheese.  Today is a new day to start again.  Going to start off with a healthy breakfast and go from there.  I just wish it was nice out, but it is rainy, windy and cold.  Oh well, might see if I can find somebody to watch my munchkins for a couple hrs a day so I can hit the gym up.  Hope everyone has a great day!!

HRM

So since we have received our house hold goods, I had found my Heart rate monitor, but it has since gone MIA...grrrrr.  So now I am debating on ordering a new one, (I know as soon as I do I will find my other one).

I have decided I am only going to do measurements once a month instead of weekly.  Still debating on if I want to weigh myself weekly or monthly, not sure yet.

I do know next week I am going to hopefully go get the kids a wagon (one with seat belts so my son doesn't try to fall out) and start taking them on walks at least twice a day.  On top of that do my zumba!  Hope everyone has a wonderful productive day!

So to add to this instead of making a new entry.  Did about a total of 30 min of Zumba.  It is going to take a couple of days to get back into the swing of things.  For my recovery drink I tried something different, but it tastes like it is missing something.

What I did was a scoop of french vanilla whey protein, added 4 strawberries and 1 cup of coconut milk.  blended together and drink.   I think I need to get some ice.  I have been to the store 3 times this week and each and every time I forget!

Wow!

Ok, so I think my scale lied to me yesterday, because today it says 182!!!!  Holy moly batman, I think I might be losing a lot of the water weight.  Not to mention I am more active here, granted I have not been doing a whole lot of zumba, but between chasing kids and dogs, that in itself is a workout.  Now for the measurements.  I went down in everything except for my hips.  I am having some issues with my right hip, not sure if it is a little swollen or what, but am happy with the rest.

Today                           Beginning                     Total Loss

Neck:  13.5                  14.5                             1 in
Waist:  35                    36.25                           1.25 in
Hips:  46.5                   47.25                            0.75 in
Thigh:  24.5                  28.25                            3.75 in

I think I probably messed up on some of the previous measurements but this is not bad! I did some research on how to properly measure and these make more sense!

Impressed!!

Wow so I can now say I am officially out of the 190's!!!!!  I weighed myself as promised this morning and am at 187!!  Now just need to find measuring tape...hmmmm that is a workout all on its own.  Just might run up to store and get another one.  Since it is once again another crappy and rainy day, going to do me a zumba during nap time!  Going to go check laundry! Have a great day everyone!
