Monday Weigh in and Work out

Monday Weigh in!

So being sick and not doing well the last few days has been hard to work out. But I am starting to feel better still not a 100% and could use a nap, but my baby might not allow for that....

Week 1 212.4

Week 2 211.4

Down 1 lbs

Since starting Dec 20 2011 -5lbs

Averaging 1 lbs a week which isn't a lot be it is good enough for me. I want it gone so I can keep it off in the long run and it took more than a month or two to gain it!

So here is a program I am going to try for the next week and let you know how it works out!

I found this on a tumblr....

Have a great day everyone!

doing ok...maybe not....

Well, I have been really sick the last few days and have not been able to work out at all....which is ok. I have to take care of myself when I am sick. So I spent 2 days sitting and really not doing anything. I have a sore head and throat. I am looking forward to feeling better and getting back to working out again. By Monday I should be good to go.

I am so excited to be able to wear cute clothes again...ok well I have never been one to wear cute, trendy clothes....especially in the last 9 years of having babies and losing weight. I just never have totally felt comfortable in my own skin. Which is really sad. Since when I weighted 140-155 before I got married I still thought I was fat. If only I knew what I know now....

I would be happy with myself and not let anyone tell me differently.

I would love myself.

I would tell myself that I may not be perfect, but I am perfectly me.

I would tell myself, I am healthy, I work out, and I eat well, what more could I ask for.

Sometimes I wish I could go back for that one reason...but know that's not going to happen. So know I have to work my butt off to get back to the old 'FAT' me!

I will be happy with 1 lb lost a week.

I will be happy when I work out.

I will be happy when I chose to eat well.

I will be happy with the healthy choices I make and get back to a healthy weight.

New day

I did have a GREAT work out today. I love doing my treadmill at 15 incline and 3.8-4.0, it can get tiring by the time 35 minutes is up, but I love burning the 600 calories!! Then I did 20 mins on the wii and burned another 200 calories.

I did eat a couple cookies today, but at least I didn't eat 10:)

I drank a lot of water today.

I did do a lot of house cleaning....which is always good! Organizing my boys room....so many clothes when you have 4 boys to go through them. And my girl has tons of clothes which we are grateful for hand me downs....but I need to get rid of some so she has room in her room :)

Looking forward to documenting some of my journey....and see what happens. I know I can do this. I am ready...again!

Started again

I know on and off again...I don't really have all the time in the world to blog, but will try to keep up a little more than I have been!

Starting Weight 216.4 Dec 20th 2011

Today's Weight 212.4 Jan 9th

I had my baby almost a year ago. It has been a very stressful year in a lot of ways. Not to say that I should be eating to make myself feel better, but that's what I did. I was eating thinking ok it's not a big deal, and then my pants started to get tighter and my face and sides were not where I wanted them to be....so after giving birth I put on 15 lbs. just eating crap....Working out was tricky with a newborn and 4 other children. Even though they are good while I am working out, it was finding the time and putting in the sweat that I needed too. I was just being lazy working out and eating crap. I have tried to eat less, I have tried not to eat chocolate, I have tried to work out tons. I just need to find a balance in my life and truly make the life switch. My head is in it and so is my heart. I have recruited a good friend to do it with me. we are emailing each other ever few days to check in and it has been helping. I want to get rid of this dang fat and feel good about my self.

I have had a hard time in the past on this blog with my goal and keeping to them. Doesn't help that when I really get going I have another baby....

1 day at a time

1 meal at a time

1 lb at a time.

I can do it

So I know I have not been around. I am busy with my 5 little munchkins. They are the best thing in my life along with my hubby!

However I know how important they are to me and I am guessing that I am just as important to them. I don't want my daughter to have the same weight issues that I have....I know part is what we are born with...but I want her to see me work hard and eat well.

It's a new week and I am starting over yet again.

I have been to 4 out of 25 boot camps as of today. It's going well. I needed the push that is for sure. I like the 30 minutes I have to myself when I get home. I am up early to pump before going so my little guy has food if he wakes while I am gone, making it an even longer day. But I need this kick. I am also doing it with 2 good friends which is good for me also, then I HAVE to go.

I am not going to worry right now about my #'s. I am going to focus on working out and eating well and getting enough to drink. And hoping my shorts fit better soon!!

just not there yet...

Ok, so I have a baby and 4 other children. I have a wonderful husband who is around and present when it comes to everything. I have a nice home.

I am restless...I think is the best word to describe how I am feeling. However there is not much I want to do about it...

I think the LONG LONG winter we are having is a huge part of it.

I love eating mini eggs and have a hard time controlling it....I know I need to get them out of the house. Well easter is this weekend and my children will get them.

I want to lose but the scale is staying the same or going up a touch. I get discouraged by the numbers right now.

I know some don't step on a scale and just keep going. I know some do it everyday to keep motivated. I need to do it everyday to be motivated it seems that works better for me, but at the same time, when the number is up I hate it and when it's down it doesn't last.

I need a kick in the pants and get back to the couple work outs a day!!

I have been doing mornings for the most part. I have started the running again, hard when you are nursing! I started week 2 today. It went well.

I wish I had the cash to get a trainer in right now, that would be great. I have one I can get 3 times a week for $99, But I don't have the cash right now. I need the kick so I can keep on going!

sorry about the rant a little...just feeling it day!!

BLAH

So it's been a while and I want to say that I am totally motivated, well I am not.

At least not fully...

I have worked out in the last week 5 times, so that's good.

I have decided that if I don't work out 1st thing in the morning that is ok too, as long as I do it at some point

I have started my running program again and will be doing the 3rd run tomorrow.

I feel great when I work out and it takes away some of the stress. (I really should have worked out today! But there is no chance, but I guess I could be doing that instead of bloggin! But then I would have to shower since I have a meeting tonight!)

I have been eating WAY WAY WAY too much crap and am craving sweet like nothing else. I have to get over this and soon.

I have been drinking a good amount of water.

I have been walking to get the kids when I can and going on family walks.

I have been trying to get to sleep when the little man goes down so I get more zzz's

I have to get back on my schedule of housework, and been doing pretty good, but need to get better!

Oh the lists!

Wish me luck on getting better.

I can't say I know what I weigh right now, but will blog about that one of these days....I still think I need more sleep to get organized!
