Tuesday Posting a day early for this one

So here is a Tuesday workout. I hope to do it tomorrow so long as my shoulder isn't hurting too bad!

Horrible day today with eating. I am a little emotional so I had a couple little chocolate bars....but I guess it could be worse right. I could have had a few big ones :) Going to get back to having some water and relaxing for a few minutes before pick up time :)

Thursday Work out

For this work out I did 40 minutes cardio. I get to watch a favourite show well I do this. Then I added 40 lunges, 20 forward for each leg and then 20 side for each leg.I love doing squats! Love them. I also did some dead lifts with out weights and did 20 of those.

I think I need to do what I love!

What do the few readers I have LOVE to do.

I love to cuddle up and watch movies with my hubby and children

I love working out

I have found a love of tea in the evenings to relax.

Have a Happy Weekend and do what you love to do.

Working on it

Week 1 216.4

Week 10 204.4 Another 2 lbs gone since the last weigh in!

I now have a new goal sort of...kind of, I do.

Mother's Day is in 83 days from today.

I have worked out 13 days in the last two weeks!

I have been cooking and eating healthy.

I still have a little chocolate every now and then...but haven't bought any new 'crap' in the last 2 weeks.

Even with Mini Eggs making a return, I don't have ANY in my house!!!

I do drink a ton of water.

I have started having tea in the evening again when I am feeling like I need to eat.

I did go on an amazing hike with the kids and hubby this weekend. 5 Km or so maybe a little more. I carried the babe the way up to a waterfall that was frozen. It was beautiful and fun and amazing being with my family. I was happy to get out of the house instead of sitting at home or trying to do things that needed to get done and have kids be board act!

So I hit another goal and I am pumped. Girls night out is what I am doing!!

So being 10 lbs down means that I am getting closer to other people noticing my work!

I hear it takes 10 lbs for me to notice...and 20 lbs for others to notice! Each day I get closer to that, which in no way is why I am losing weight it really is just for me. And I guess it's for my daughter too. I don't want her to grow up with the same things I did, a mother always on a diet....and never getting far....

I still am breaking out, so maybe the chocolate has to go.....

Ok this week I am not going to have chocolate...wish me luck!!

So in the last couple weeks

I know I have been MIA.

The truth is, I lost my way a little. But have gotten back in the next couple days.

I am doing well. I HIT A GOAL I HIT A GOAL!!

My book that I am going to get is Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich So excited! I love her books easy to read and enjoy. I might change my next goal to see the movie One for the Money which is another one of her books! girls night out!!

Since starting this journey, I have had my ups and downs.

Week 1 216.4

Week 8 206.4 Can I just say WHO HOO. It's about 1 lb a week.

I now have a new goal sort of...kind of, I do.

Mother's Day is in 97 days from today. Well today being the 11th of Feb.

Last year at this time I had given birth to my 5th child. And my mothers day was nice, but I wasn't happy with me.

So this year, I am going to be so happy in my own skin and for my gift I will be getting some new clothes!!

I have worked out a lot 7 times this week.

I have drank a lot of water.

I have been doing a lot in the house.

I have had tons of energy. Except for yesterday....I was done, but went to bed got my rest and ready to tackle another day!

I am getting tired of kids fighting though....oh boy, but that's a WHOLE other blog :)

Next week, I will work out 5 times if not more.

I will drink 8 of my 2 cup jugs of water which I LOVE

I will get more done around the house so that this summer I can be outside playing with my kids and maybe even have a bathing suite on this year.....

I will get my routine down so it's smother when Baseball and Soccer starts. And the crazy starts in my life! I am so excited!!

Thanks to those few who read and comment on my blog.

Almost the end of another month

So this past week has been brutal, I have been PMSing....so I have wanted to eat lots and lots of chocolate....have I, yes, has it been lots and lots, no. I have been crazing it and want it right now. Instead I had a cup of herbal tea and and sitting typing this and going to go to bed soon.

I hope that tomorrow I will have at least stayed at the same weight. I hope to have a lose but who knows.

I have been drinking lots of water.

I have not eaten lots and lots of chocolate.

I have worked out everyday.

I did spend a lot of quality time with the family this weekend out of the house.

I have been trying to be more present when eating.

I did have a nice date night with my hubby at home, but we were present and in the moment.

I want a clear knowledge of why I am having a tough time with losing weight still.

I want a clear complexion. I don't think PMS helps, but still...I am not 16 any more!!!

Oh my, off to bed I go!

Night

Visual person

So I am not holding or maintaining right now, I am a little up from a the last week and not happy about it. But what can you do. Get back on track and feel good that you are trying harder today then yesterday. I am stressed about something, not sure what yet. I am trying to figure that out and once I do, I hope to clear my head of it.

I am going to sit down with my head....and figure out what's going on.

So I printed off a calendar for the next 5 months. I am going to use it as a reminder that it doesn't all happen in a day. That's my biggest issue is that it won't happen all in one day even though that is what I want. So I need to change my thinking about that.

Next week will be a weigh in and an update and a clearer head!!
