Another weigh in!

Week 1 216.4

Week 10 204.4

Week 11 202 -2.4 lbs!

Week 12 201 -1.0 lbs

Well getting there slowly but surely!!

So how have things been going out there is cyper-world?

I have been very busy with the kids and the volunteering that I do. I have been looking for yummy recipes over the last few weeks. I have been working out and have started doing Zumba on the wii. It's fun and my 3 year old loves it. We dance away and it burns some good calories.

I am excited about this week and am going to work my butt off.

Week 1 216.4

Week 10 204.4

Week 11 202 -2.4 lbs!

Whohoo

Getting there by next weigh in I REALLY hope to be at my next goal. Going to work my butt off and try out my newest WII game in hopes of burning those calories. I got this instead of my last goal hit, changed it up:). I wasn't able to get to the movies with the girls, so I got a new wii game :) Zumba!! Hopes it's a good one!

So, I totally want a new work out shirt!!! And I can't wait to get one, so I will get it in the next week I hope!! Ok I will. right positive thinking.

So I was reading this article on Body image. It was really interesting and I recommend checking it out!

The things we do, the people we judge, the reasons why we do these things and think it's ok is beyond me. I can't say I am perfect, at not judging others, I try, but there are times. However I am getting a lot better, and know that everyone is unique and have their beauty. Inside and out!

I am not losing weight for anyone but me. I am doing something about being more healthy and teaching my children good habits so they have a good chance in life! I am not not allowing things in our home, I am allowing cake and fun foods, but it's not every day. I am allowing each to pick out what they want to wear and how they do things...Especially my daughter who is soooo the opposite of me and the things she wears I can't say I would have ever worn, but she is unique and so beautiful inside and out. My boys don't really care too much, but they do have their favourite colours! I teach them that everyone is unique and beautiful. My husband spends a lot of time with the kids and he spends time with our daughter. He tells her she is beautiful and fun and loving all the time and you can tell how much that affects her. It's amazing how dads can do the same things mom does, but it sinks in and is so good. done rambling now :)

Good luck to all and to all a good night!!

Wednesday Work out

So I will weigh in tomorrow as well I forgot today! But that's ok, sometimes it's not all about the # on the scale! I have gone down a pant size!! WHO HOO. They are snug but not totally loose like the last size!

But by the next few weeks they will feel good.

74 days until Mothers day and I am feeling good about reaching my goals. 11 Weeks.

So if I am losing a pound a week I should be at 11 lbs down which would be AMAZING! That would mean I would be at well I don't know until I weigh in tomorrow :) But around the 192 ish mark.... Now I can't wait to find out what I do weigh tomorrow! That would be the smallest I have been in 9 years......I think, yup pretty sure. Said I know, but 5 kids in that time has done a toll on my body!

Enjoy this work out I found that fits with the others I have posted!

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

I think I need to do what I love!

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!!
