First Challenge Group

I joined a challenge group in October and it's over.  Well, I guess I should say it's been over.  It sort of fizzled out.  Either way, I made progress.  I lost 14 lbs and 14 inches.  I also lost 1% body fat. I realize that i could have done better, but considering vacation, thanksgiving, Christmas, and 5 birthdays, I think it's pretty good. I'm so excited to start my new challenge group.  I really wanted to lose 20 lbs, but this shows you get into what you get out of it.  I should have, could have, passed up cake.  But I didn't.  now I'm completely caked out.  I feel like this was a fantastic learning opportunity. I put in mediocre effort and I got mediocre results.  As I start my first challenge group, I'm doing so with more discipline.  I have 90 days to an amazing transformation and I will get that done! 
This journey has been great so far.  I've met lots of wonderful supportive people who help keep me in line.  I recently made a vision board.  I posted all my goals for this upcoming year.   I can't wait to meet them!  Today I'm going to start off with some healthy eggs for breakfast!  :)  Have a great day, and if you want to join my on line challenge group - contact me!  I have just a few spots available - small group for better motivation, support, and growth!  have a great day!

Wednesday Weigh In

Woohoo!  I've lost a pound.  I am now at 194.  I am so happy!  I mean, I went through Christmas and lost weight.  Gotta love it.  :)  I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas.  I did.  Today my husband and I will be taking our son to the zoo! It's 54 degrees and too warm for December! lol  have a great day!

Wednesday Weigh In

Weighed in today 195.  Given the busy week (to include DH's surprise part) I'm not surprised.  I'm ok with it and I think it's important to be ok with a little bit of weight gain.  I mean, its to be expected.  I have yet to meet anyone going through a lifestyle change that doesn't experience ups and downs.  As long as next Wednesdays weigh in goes well, I'll be happy!
In Beachbody news, Les Mills Pump came out!  I'm super stoked!  I'm debating between getting it now, or waiting until I lose 40 lbs.  I despise cardio and love weights but know I need both to get maximum results.   What I would like to do is get both and do a hybrid of Les Mills Pump and Insanity.   I just told hubby tonight I wanted it for Christmas!  Crossing my fingers!!!

Holiday Festivities and working out....

Last night I partook into some Holiday Festivities.  I don't typically drink. However, last night my sister took my son and that left me baby free for a night.  I enjoyed some Moscoto.  My favorite wine.  It was wonderful.  I slept until 11:30 and only got up because my son had his 1 year check up.  The plan was to come home and do my Fit test and Max Cardio circuit. 
That was a mistake.  I barely made it through the fit test without feeling light heading and sick.  I'm sure its because I'm dehydrated.  So, I finished the fit test (with embarrassing numbers) and am taking it easy until tonight.  I am loading up on water and some fruit, then i will finish my work out.  I can't let a little set back ruin all my good work can I?  
On a more positive not, I have a shirt that says "I'm not short, I'm elf size"  It is my absolute favorite for Christmas.  I haven't worn it in two years.  Since I haven't done laundry, it was the only shirt I had left this morning.  IT FIT! I was so happy that I was able to actually put it on and have it fit!!!!  That is just the motivation I needed.  I can't wait to have the body I want.  Crossing my fingers that I can get to the 20 lb mark by December 31st.  Keep your fingers crossed!

Please Do This Favore....

This isn't related to my blog at all but I need a favor.  Baby Adam passed away January 11th of this year.  His family is collecting Christmas  cards to fill his stocking.  Would you mind taking the time to send a card to a baby angel?  His family would appreciate it.  Click the photo below for more information and the address.

Wednesday Weigh In

Despite yesterday's post, I some how have managed to lose 4 lbs!  I weighed inn today at 191!  I'm so excited!  Just three more lbs until I'm at my end of the year goal weight!  I can totally do this!  I'm counting my weight loss as a blessing and am keeping on track!  :)  I'm so glad that I'm almost out of the 190's!!!  That is simply amazing!  :)
In other knews, Beachbody has put Shaun T's Rockin body on sale for just $20! It is orginally $60!  I think I want it!  I looked at the reviews and it looks really fun.  I love dancing (even though I'm terrible) so I think I will end up getting it.  After I get Christmas done for everyone else though! :o)  It would go great with my challenge group that starts in January! All in due time.  Until then, God Bless!

 

Rockin' Body!

Wow....band wagon come back!

So I fell off the band wagon.  Started with Thanksgiving, then I got sick, got better  but out of routine, got sick again, had my sons birthday party, my birthday, hubbies birthday coming up.   All excuses really.  On the days I was busy but not sick, I could have found an hour to work out.  I'm definitely going to feel it.  Today has also been the first day that I have not had a headache. 
I can't tell you how easy it is to fall back into bad habits.  I mean, I've skipped them for weeks and in a matter of days I'm drinking soda, eating cake, candy, and other junk food.  My legs feel sore because I haven't worked out and I'm petrified to do my Wednesday weigh in tomorrow.  I did so well and I refuse to let myself give up.  If everyone gave up with every road block no one would get anywhere.  So, tonight I'm going to work out and  feel better.  Love yourself love your body!

Wednesday Weigh In

Has it really been a week?  Yikes.  Sorry!  Scale today said 195... 3 lb gain.  It's to be expected.  I've been sick and having migrains all week.  No exercise.  :(  I went to the chiropractor yesterday so hopefully my headaches will stop.  They seem to be better so far but my back is still a little sore. :(  I haven't decided whether or not I will work out today. I don't want to throw my back out - I really can't afford another trip to the chiropractors.  I hope I get better soon.  I'm tired of being a bendy straw in the mud
