Really?!?!

Ok so I got on the scale yesterday morning and was pleased to see that I had lost another pound:) I was like yay Im closer to my first big goal..this shocked me because I ate so much chocolate candy over the weekend..ugh it was shamefull lol

I happen to get out my fav old pair of cut offs and got them on and buttoned..these were from before jayvis was born:) Talk about motivation, the fire was lit under my butt!!!

I was gettin ny stuff on to workout and my vinal sweat suit was stairing at me..I was like hmm i havent done that in a while so why not..got it on and knew from that very second I was gonna be a terrible sweaty mess when I was done.

I went 25 min which was pretty good I thought. I then went outside and let all the sweat run out of the arms ams and legs onto the driveway..OH EM GEEEE I had sweat a small pond, andy was grossed out lol i made him watch:) but he is proud of me for not stopping! I did drink two bottles of water after that workout so I dont get dehydrated..

I know you are not supposed to weigh everyday and I said i wouldnt, but after sweatimg so much last night I couldnt help but to see this morning what it did..209.2!!!!!!! I nearly fell over. I know I sweat a pond but I was not expecting to see three pounds gone.

I am sooo close to my first big goal which was 200..I have now lost 20 pounds since January:)

Booooo!

Last night when I couldnt walk to my own bed I knew it was way past time to see my chiropractor:\ So I went and he said my body was all jacked up and I should have see him a month ago. As I sat there and told him all the problems I was having and the pain I felt he shook his head and told me to stop doing what Im doing and let my body recover.

He cracked me in all my problem places which made me feel absolutley AMAZING until he moved down to my wrist that Im having trouble with..I explained how it felt and he moved and cracked it until I was ready to scream. He explained something called TRIANGULAR FIBROCARTILAGE COMPLEX which ussually comes from injuring the wrist in some way:\ I dont remember hurting it yet I have had this pain for a while so who knows when I did it.. He used some tape to give me some stability in it and told me to act like I dont have a right hand. We will try the tape and adjusting it before we take bigger actions..ugh

Ill be seeing him for the rest of the week to get my bones fixed. He said it would take a week or two and Ill be really sore but hope it doesnt take long so I can get back to my workouts! I am so glad I finally went..been much needed for a while now!

A Happy Day!

I said i would blog again on April first but this was too big not to share:)

Since I have been losing inches I have retired nearly all my jeans. I got in the closet this morning to see if I had kept any of my old stuff and by chance I did. I wasnt sure what size they were and I didnt care to know so I just went for it and put them on. I was suprised when I put them on with no problem at all so I took them off and looked at the size lol It said 18! To most this is gonna sound like a cow size until I tell you I started this journey at a size 24!

So this morning has been a great one for me! Im so excited to almost be out of the plus sizes at most stores:)

Be back in a few days to check in!

My First Big Goal

I am happy to see my first big goal is a lot closer rather then farther away now. I have lost 15 pounds since jan 3rd and couldnt be more proud if myself. I did get kinda lazy this month but I still lost weight.

I have set mini goals of 10 pounds a month and im shy 4 pounds of that monthly goal.

I did a burnout on the elliptical last night. I went as fast and as long as I could possibly go and made it 40 min. I plan to do this for the next 4 nights to see if i can drop at least a few more before April 1st.

Im not complaining about the 6 I lost at all because that still 6 pounds I wont ever see again!

I am 14 pounds from my first big goal. It seems a whole lot closer now that I have lost 15 off that:)

I love having my elliptical at home now. It is so much easier now to get on it when I get a few extra min. My livingroom turns into a gym after 9:00 every night. Andy started p90x and I tried to do it but well...lets just say Im not in the shape I need to be in to even do a quarter of what they do! I look forward to the day I can go through the program and make it happen! Who knows maybe thats a lot sooner then later also:)

I still have a long ways to go but its all about setting goals and making them happen and thats just what Im doing!

I will post again come April 1st to record my final weigh in for the month of March!

6 months!

I went in for my first consultation visit for my tummy tuck yesterday. I didnt expect him to say he could do it in April or May but he did! He said the only down side to it is wearing the garmets all summer and the sweat irritating the scars..I really dont want that so he suggested I wait until september. The fall is a better time since you already start to wear warmer cloths the garmets arent that bad. This gives me plenty of time to get into better shape and lose more then what I would before May:)

I was happy with everything he said and got a lot of answers that I have been searching for. The skin i have wont ever go away without surgery..which I pretty much knew that but it was good to hear anyways.

The way I look at it is..from August until now I have really only tried (working out) to lose weight since Jan 3rd or 4th. I have lost 6 pounds, added lots of muscle mass I had lost from being pregnant, I have lost two pant sizes and a sooo many inches all over. I can only imagine what will happen to me over the next 6 months so I have no worries of losing the weight I need to before I get it done.

For now I need to work on portion controle..healthier snacks for my kids so I dont feel guilty for having a bite or two of it as well..and healthier dinners is always a good thing. Its not about losing for my tuck..its about a life change for the whole family!

I cant wait until I can just do a little bit to keep up what I have worked hard for! That day will come real soon! Until then you can find me in the gym:)

I am loving this!

I was cleaning yesterday and found our wellness check ups. My weight in August was 245!

I woke up this morning and got on the scales and was pleased to see another pound gone:) so that makes a total of 22 pounds gone.

I have my first consultation visit for my tummy tuck on monday. Im so prepared for him to tell me to lose 50-60 more pounds...because I can do it! Im excited to see what my body looks like come May when I wanna have it done. At this rate Ill make my goal before that time!

I am most excited about it because I am doing it without a trainer or any weight loss drugs. I have a lot of support as far as info and motivation from friends and family. I love them all for that:)

Im on a roll:)

Another pound bites the bust!

I have now lost a total of 5 pounds:)

WORK WORK WORK! Thats what its about and thats what I'm doing!

I have been doing 45 min almost every night of cardio cause 30 min didn't seem like it was enough, and I drink plenty of water.

Happy Valentines Day To Me!

Things change!

I have been working my butt off at the gym. I had four days off from thursday night to sunday which probably set me back. I have done great every night this week tho I didnt wanna go monday night. I made another goal last night that Im proud of. I made it 30 min on the elliptical then took a five min break and got back on it for 15 more! This was also due to someone being in my tanning bed so i didnt have anything else to do.

I did some arm workouts last night also. Had to take advantage of having the gym to myself mostly..mainly no men or boys!

I see my body changing every day but the number on the scale has changed in over three weeks. Im trying not to let it bother me but it does.

I have a big prize I am working towards and I have no doubts..I will make it because I am determined and motivated to do so! Anyone who knows me when I truely set my mind to something..Im unstoppable!

I need to start working harder on the weekends since we are out of town working every weekend I need to find a place to workout and get it done..probably start walking or somethin idk..climbing moms stairs just aint cuttin it anymore.

I am going to try and gwt two workouts in today if the kids will let me. I would really like to get a good hard core hour of cardio in a day..just hate spending two hours at the gym at night when i could be home with my family.

THATS ALL FOR NOW..

Day 14 or 15

Yesterday I had a rough time getting motivated to workout. I did however do it and sweat my butt off doin it! Im doing great according to my fitness pal. I must say its the best tool so far to help me keep track of all i do including calories which I have never done before.

Tonight I was a lot better about wanting to go mainly because I had my friend Brianna to workout with. We got the cardio junk out of the way and move quickly to the weight area. Let me just say she cracks me up which is good cause that burns calories too haha. I showed her how to use some of the toning tables which was an even in itself.

She had me do a wall sit..she said count to 20 which She was goin fast and slow on counting so who knows how many seconds I really lasted..weak sauce is the word that fits me doing a wall sit!! my kegs were shaking and I was yelling like something was torturing me! Needless to say I need to do those more often:)

Tanned and called it good:)

Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.4

Ohhh..

I didnt wanna go tonight at all but I had some friends to motivate me:) Love them for that!

I did 15 min on the eliptical and did some arms machines.

Tanned and calked it done.

For the record..if you just had a baby and you know you are gonna sweat a lot, please dont wear a tight white tshirt to workout in..props for being there but dang thats not pretty anyway you look at it!

I should be in bed by now so I can get up for my 5:30am workout. I guess we will have to see what happeneds.

Thats whats up!!

So this mornin I had a lil pep talk with the kids about goin to the gym. They all agreed to be sweethearts and not fight..this not go without a bribe. Suckers would be handed over as soon as we got home IF they were good!

I started on the bike because a few ladies were already in the elipticals. I hopped on and hiked it up to level 9 to get my muscles warmed up..didnt take long! I finished 3 miles in 10 min.

Then I got to get on the torture machine. After my warm up on the bike it wasnt bad at all. I made it six min abd kk had to peepee so I glad excepted the break. Got back on and finished with 15 more min! I was very proud and pumped for tonights workout.

Came home and did some cleaning and laundry and slowly got tired lol I wasnt looking so forward to goin tonight. Andy got home and started hookin up the new dvr and it got later and later. Finally got the steaks on the grill and let me tell ya the smell was amazing! I couldnt pass it up so I had some good steak and green beans. Not to much thi cause I didnt wanna barf it up.

So dinner is done and Im sittin on the couch watchin the bachelor..Im like ok Ill just watch the first hour cause by then it just had 30 min left. My friend Starla sent me a motivating pic if some true fat!!! That got me moving and out the door real quick lol

The gym was quite empty thankfully cause I got to turn my show back on. I started thinking I could at least make it 15 min without stopping..I got through 15 and wasnt ready to tan yet cause someone was in the bed I use so I kept pushing!

I MADE IT 30 MINUTES!! THATS WHATS UP!! Thought I was gonna get sick but I made it!

I am changing things up a bit and adding another workout three days a week. Ill go to bed at 9 with the kids so I can get up on minday wednesday and friday and get a 5:30 am workout in. My friend Starla is gonna ty and do it with me which makes me really happy! We are mommas on a mission so watch out Maysville! LOL

And thats all about today..ond day at a time! My baby steps have started gettin bigger and I am loving the results and body changes I am already feeling!

Ups and Downs

Today was rough because of the scale mistake but Im not stopping. Im glad I have everything already in motion as far as eating healthy and my exercie routine down becuase if I didnt I am pretty sure I wouldnt have gone tonight.

I walked in and my faithful bike was taken. I wasnt in the mood for the treadmill so the only thing left was the torture machine..the elliptical!

Now last time I got on it I did 5 minutes lol Tonight God must have known I needed the extra push because my friend came out of the tanning room and climbed on the one next to me. So here I am thinkin ok im almost to my 5 min and im about to give up..we started talkin and she helped me push through to 10 min! I did stop a few times but I got back on it. She said if I did the torture machine 20 minutes a day I will see a diff in a short time..so im retiring the bikes and moving on up!

I tanned for 10 min and then got right back on it for 10 more min!!!

Needless to say that was ALL I did tonight lol but i feel really good about it!

Thanks for the motivation and encouraging word Starla:)

Motivation!

Tonights workout consisted of the bike for 30 min of intense cardio. I did hit 8 miles again which made me feel like accomplished something.

Watchin the biggest looser on tv probably had a lot to do with it. They were doing their last chance workout so i was pushing hard right along with them.

I know I pushed it beyond what i have been because i was shaking and huffin and puffin when i got done. I nearly didnt make it the last min but i pushed! Thanks biggest looser for the motivation!

I skipped out on weights tonight but tomorrow ill pick it back up.

Tanned for 15 min and i think i got a lil more pink then last time..oops!

Shower and bed time!

No pain no gain!

Three miles on the bike tonight..but it wasn't a weak sauce ride! I was on level 8 and huffin and puffin after about 30 seconds! 5min of fast cardio on the elliptical was about death for me but i made it. My personal goal is to add a min ever night.

Did 2 sets of 12 on three diff arm machines at 40lbs. Can you say JELLO!

I didnt do any legs needless to say after the bike and elliotical. Moms stairs on the weekend are enough for me! They are gettin easier to run up and down them i might add:)

Then i tanned for 15 min.

I feel good and bad and sore all at the same time.

What i ate today..

FROZEN BANANA VI SHAKE
an apple
And a good big bowl of chili and crackers. I didnt do my dinner shake cause i figured i did enough damage to my calorie intake with the chili lol

And thats all for tonight!

Gym<3

So tonight at the gym I did a mile on the treadmill. I ran half and walked half. Dont judge me I havent ran in a long time..like five years! The bike is what im use to because I have bad ancles that roll really easy. Im gaining strength in them though and plan on running more. I have found I sweat more on the bike then anything but tonights walk/run wasnt bad.

I have little to no muscles in my arms so did lots of arm machines and free weights. I have got to gain some mucsle so I can burn the flab off!

I also did some leg machines. I love them because I can almost do like a wall sit on the leg press if I
add enough weight to it. Little steps at a time for me.

I know I have a long road of gaining muscles in places I have none but I am so on my way. My body is burning in many places it hasnt in a while lol

Im really excited to go tomorrow night:)

Bad day..

Yesterday I started off good and then got news that one of my classmates had a horrible 4 wheeler wreck. Needless to say I worried all day, cried, and to top it all off Andy got home late. I didn't workout but I didn't pig out at dinner either, I had a bowl of frosted mini wheates. I know its not the best but it could have been worse. We all ended up going to bed at 9:30 last night.

So today I have something to add..got this from a friends blog




Ill do this to during the day and then hit the gym at night.

Night 1

I started on the bike tonight. Great cardio workout for me:)

30 min
8.5 miles
Did some leg and arm weights
Then I tanned for 10 min

Stared out great and will add more tomorrow night.

War against my own body!

So starting tonight I am on a full force, life changing, body image war, mission! This is a way for me to be held accountable for what I'm doing. I will track everything on here and watch myself get closer and closer to my goal!

I will be honest at all times and sometimes it may not be pretty. I'm a big girl and nothing anyone can say to me will hurt my feelings nor will be something I haven't already thought about before.

I am ashamed that I let myself get up to my starting weight which was 250..yeah I know it was scary! But I also have lots of motivation being that I lost 31 of that on my own with no help of diet pills or shakes or anything, it was strictly working it off pound by pound at the gym.

My bestie here in town started the Body By Vi challenge and asked me to go to a tasting. I wasn't sure about it but I listened and seen some testimonies of people who were just like me. I started the challenge shortly after that. I dropped from 219 to 194 in a month just with doing two shakes a day. That was also during the eating holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas! I did however gain 3.5 pounds back because of my COW EATING..but I'm back on track now. I have done only 3 shakes in the last three weeks and OH how I miss them!

I am changing things up a little bit for the better lets pray! I will do a shake in the morning, eat my meal at lunch and have a shake for dinner. I will have dinner made for the family so that I can have my shake and be out the door and headed to the gym while they have dinner. I need to make the time and this is how I plan to do it.

I have 50 more pounds to lose before I hit my goal weight and before I can get my tummy tuck and new boobs! I'm not ashamed to say I will get those done at all! I have had two kids and we all know things just aren't the same after that, no it didn't help that I let myself become a TUBBY. With that being said its my body and I will do what I want with it no matter what anyone thinks.

I got on the scales this morning after having a pig out three weeks and only gained 3 pounds. So my starting weight is 197.5..which really isn't bad considering everything I have ate!

So I don't mind sharing and being real about my numbers at all, the truth shall set me free! I also won't EVER be those numbers again! It will only get better.

So here is to the new year..a new me!!
