Week 4

Hi everyone....whomever you are!

Funny thing happened when I stepped on the scale this morning, it came up with 165.7 lbs....I laughed and laughed because that is really close to my ultimate goal. Knowing that I was not down to a size 10 or so, it was wrong, so I stepped off and found 207! which I thought was perfect! But seeing that 165 was great it will help keep me going knowing that I will get there, no questions in my mind, I can and will and do want this in my life.

So I am VERY EXCITED!! I am now up to 8 lbs lost, which means that I have $40 in my jar of saving for new clothes when I lost it all!!!!

I love watching the money grow, and it helps motivate me to keep on going!

Week 1 weight 210.2

Week 2 weight 210

Week 4 weight 207

Total weight loss 8 lbs

When I set my next mini goal last week I thought for sure it would take me 2 weeks to get it, even though it was only about 2 lbs that I wanted to hit my next goal, but so happy that it happened this week!!

So my next mini goal you guess it is going to be 205! I love achieving goals and know that the only way I am going to do it is if they are realistic. Even it it did take me 2 weeks to get to the next one, I know it can happen!

So I really can't say enough about EA active, is there anyone who has been using it too? It's great, I upped it to Hard now and use the balance board every so often. I am on the 2nd round of 30 day challenge and love it.

As a side note I HATE doing lunges side to side so much but I can't skip it or I feel bad so I do them because the little trainer is making me do it....and I take it to a bit of a weird level maybe in that I think it I had to pay $100 for someone to do the same thing I would do everything they tell me too, so why even with the $60 that I paid for the game wouldn't I do the same...in listening to what she is telling me to do. Because it works and there is a reason Bob Green put this all together....so I do it and it makes me a stronger person. Bonus I SAVE TONS OF MONEY TOO!

Dinner last night

was awesome!

TR's Beef Enchiladas

Here is what I made up and it was GREAT!

1 lbs of ground beef cook it up

1 tbsp of toasted onion, didn't have real ones in the pantry, can use fresh too, 1 small.

1 tsp roasted garlic

1.5 tsp toco mix

4 cups spinach

8 big mushrooms sliced

Cook all together then put into homemade wheat tortillas add cheddar cheese I used about 2 cups to have on the inside and on top once they were all made up in an 8 by 11 baking pan. Cook for about 1/2 hour on 375. Oh so yummy! Let me know if you try it out and if you like it or not

Reasons some Girls stay single!

Kay this is something I came across and think it's pretty funny. There are some interesting people out there. Love it! 'I don't play games' I am a complete catch!' OH goodness, I laughed so hard!!

Anyways, I am loving life and doing great and the weight it good and I did a little sneak today and I am down to 208.4!! So happy and well we will see in a few days. I was a little worried since I made some yummy cheesecake brownies, and oh were they so good! But I tried really hard to share a lot of them! But did have some myself.

I am loving spinach in most of what I am eating, and it's good for me!

Tonight we are trying something new, if it turns out yummy I will share!

Have a good one!

OH and I started my 2nd round of EA Sports and did it with the balance board today, it was great! Love that game!!

Week 3

Can I just say how EXCITED I AM!!! I am UNDER 210!!! Which I was not sure I would do, even though I know I was close last week. It's been a stressful week with meetings for school and children in school and babies still at home....oh boy! My nice camera that my family bought me for mother's day stopped working, as in it would not turn on any more. We are building a new home and well there has been some stress with that, and we are going to put ours on the market soon and well we have never sold a home before. So I am in a constant state of decluttering. Which is a good thing, but it's taking it's toll on me. I am so tired and falling asleep at 9 pm, which is early when I still have so much to do!!! Needless to say life is a little full right now!

But I did it and I am NOT looking back!! Next mini goal will be 207! Oh I can just taste it now, I think doing my weight in's like this help too to see the progress! I love it!! I am a total visual person can you tell :) So in my money jar I know have $29 and once I lose the .2 it will be $30! So exciting to see the jar grow with money! Loving it!

EA Active

Love it! I had a great work out with it today, and did the treadmill for 30 minutes. I wish the weight would start to come off a little faster...

I really enjoy working out, I wish I could say I had a problem with soda and could stop drinking it and drop 20 in a year...but I don't. I do however love eating, and making food for my little well big family of 6. I love to try new things, I am trying to not eat as much as I make to help lose some....I love bread, but have cut back a lot.

Today for lunch I had the best lunch EVER! I had just gone to Costco got a huge bag of spinach and mushrooms, came home we had some left over noodles from last nights dinner that didn't have sauce on it, so I had a tsp of butter mixed in 2 handfuls of spinach and 2 mushrooms, 3/4 cup noodles, some salt and pepper, oh so yummy!

See you in a few for a weigh in!

Week 2

Well not much of a lose this week just .2 lbs. But it is a loss! So I am now 210. Next stop 209!

Starting weight 215

Week 1 weight 210.2

Week 2 weight 210

Total weight loss 5 lbs

I can do this, it may be taking some time, but that's the best way I keep reading to keep it off!

So today was a hot one where I live, we didn't get much for summer. Now that school has started it's really hot! But the kids and I went to the park today which was good, then spent the afternoon in the house as it was way too hot out side.

Tonight my DH worked late so I did the bed time stuff with the children's and got on the treadmill. Did 50 mins on it and burned 808! Felt great, then I wanted to watch another show so I got on the elliptical and did another 35 min and burned 350, and this morning I worked out for 37 minutes and did 380 on the elliptical. So I watched what I ate and am in anticipation of my weight in for week 2 tomorrow! I am just going to keep going and not let the scale get me 'down', but I hope to be down!

I love working out and love my evening work outs, I hope to do mornings for the 6 days a week and evenings at least 2 times a week.

OH and EA Active, still loving it! I had a day off today and tomorrow I will do it again! 5 more work outs to complete my 30 day challenge!~
