Still plunkin' along....

Well I'm still here and still trying to work out. I've had a hard time lately. I tore my shoulder muscle working out and then when that was finally better I had a horrid tooth pain. BUT I'm all better now and hope to continue on my weightloss. I'm so bound and determined to keep the weight off for the holidays. I've done really well so far. I'm watching what and how much I eat as well as I'm monitoring my blood sugars really closely. So here's hoping!!!

Good luck and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Still working out!

So I'm still working out really good. I'm not sure of my weight and such I need to reecheck it. I'm going to do it within the next week! Do I have any buddies out there?!?!?! Anyways I'm so busy it's crazy! I'll be updating things soon, I hope!

Much love!

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's on!!! And it's going GREAT!!!!!!!!! Now that Tara goes to preschool in Idaho Falls I have time to kill so I've been working out 4 days a week for 2 weeks and it's been great! I've built some mondo muscles so my weight hasn't gone down as much as I'd like but I'm in smaller pants again!!! *insert happy dance here! hee hee* Anyways I'm hoping to get Bryan to help me with messurments tonight or tomorrow and get them posted. I'm thinking I'm going to have a Monday check in, that way I can be good on the weekend. Anyways just wanted to pop and say I'm doing GREAT!!!

much love!

YAY I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy to annouce that I have accomplished what I have been training for ALL year!


I JUST WALKED/RAN MY FIRST 5K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't be happier!! I'm just so proud of myself!!!!!!!!!

just had to share the happy news!

much love!

The game is ON!!!!!

So my brother and sister moved to Twin Falls and it's been SSSOOO hard to not have them here! I miss them SO much!!! It's just crazy. Anyways so Katie just signed up for curves. Which is AWESOME! Anyways I'm going to go visit them in 1 month and I told them that we should do a competion to see who can lose the most weight and/or inches. SO it's on! I missed all my chances to run or walk a 5k which REALLY upsets me however I'm NOT going to end this year on a bad note. Tara's starting preschool in a week and I have to take her every day so rather than drive back and forth I'm going to just go work out while I wait for her. :) So I'm hoping to lose some good weight! Anyways stay tuned, I'm hoping to post the numbers here in the next few days!

much love!

YAY for Spinning!

So I went to the pedal and pump class yesturday at the apple. What is that you ask? Well it's where you spend 45 mins in spinning then do 45 mins of upper body weights. It was fun!!!! I did spinning awhile ago and didn't like it but I'm in much better shape now than I was then, which can I just say is weird? I mean then I weight like 40 lbs less than now....SO wierd how that works.....ANYWAYS.....this class was fun. I pushed myself so hard and was dripping but I LOVED it!!!!!!!! I thought I could do that again....I'm not that sore...............yet. But I woke up today and I really am NOT that sore! YAY!!! Anyways I'm hoping to make it a set routine!!!!! Tomorrow I'm hoping to weigh in and do messurments to see how far I've fallen.......yes I know for a FACT I have fallen, or at least should have...........anyways till then!

much love!

Testing....

Ok so this blog hasn't been pulling up, I'm going to try posting this to see if it fixes things......please stand by we are now experiancing technical difficulties! HA HA HA....

I'm sad to say....

Well I'm sad to say I think I'm going to miss ALL the 5Ks in my area. That makes me so sad! I feel like such a loser! I mean all I've managed to do was make me fat and more ugly and give myself false hope. I thought I could do this but it just seems like I can't. Why can't it be easier to lose weight? I mean it's easy to put it on, wouldn't you think in all true thinking it should be the same way to do the opposite, right? HA! I wish! Anyways I'm still trying to do more. My biggest problem isn't what I eat or if I exercise it's HOW I exercise. I LOVE LOVE LOVE running I really do, BUT I can't run that long, why you ask? Because I have a um hmm how do I put this? I was blessed with A LOT more than I'd like on my top....um ok fine I have HUGE boobs!!! LOL!!! I can't find a good decent bra that will support my ta tas without sqeezing them! LOL.....I found this site that said it had bras for big chested women for running and such....they went up to a D cup! HELLO!!! That's not BIG chested women!!!! Anyways, needless to say whenever I try to run more than 2 mins I have to stop because I have whiplash from myself!!!!!!! lol, really funny as it is it's so true and ANNOYING! Anyways I'm going to try and get out walking or do something. I've just got to. I hate how I feel about myself! So stay tuned!

Still plunking away...

I'm still here on my weight loss but I'm kinda slacking...I haven't been feeling well...anyways tomorrow is weigh in day and I'll check in tomorrow........

More determined!

Ok so I'm finally SICK of being this way....I've said it before and I'll probaly say it again but right now I feel really determined to get this stupid weight off! I'm just so sick of it. I'm sick of being over weight and hating myself. I'm sick of always being unhealthy and having so many problems. I'm sick of being embaressed and always thinking what others are thinking about me. I'm just plain sick of it! so tomorrow starts a new day! And new goals! I'm ditching most of my long term ones and working on my short term ones. My first is to get back into a exercise routine! I should have NO reason to do this! So to starting a new goal......

much love!

Trying to get back to things!

Well I haven't been jogging like I need to, instead I've been involved in A LOT of yard projects, and let me tell you those have about killed me! OH MY CRAP!! I didn't realize it would be SO much work....at least I'm losing some weight! I have found a 5K in July! I'm SO nervous about it! I KNOW I'm totally not even close to being ready! I'm going to try and get up to jogging outside, but it's kinda hard to do that with 3 kids. Anyways I have to go do yard work I'm SO behind, I'll write more when I have more time! Till then...

much love!

Week whatever....

Ok so my life has been SO freaking busy and although I hate using that as an excuse I have and I'm paying dearly for it. I'm just so upset about these numbers! I found a 5K I want to run in July and also one in Aug.....I gotta get my butt in gear!!! Ok here's my depressing and rather EMBARRASSING numbers!

Weight 245, a 5 lbs GAIN!!!

Chest 41.5 .5 in GAIN
Boobs 50 1 in GAIN
Arms 14.25 1.75 in GAIN
Thigh 27 2 in GAIN
Belly 50.5 5 in GAIN HOLY CRAP!
Hips 48 .75 in GAIN

Ok so I'm really REALLY upset about those numbers! Time to get my BRASS in gear!!!!!

Week 9...SUCKS!!

I'm really slacking on this weight loss. I was going and doing SO well and then bam it's like someone hit a switch and switched all my motivation off. GROWL! I just don't know. Maybe I was doing too much too soon? I just want to lose this weight. I'm sick of being FAT and I'm sick of feeling so ugly! I had all my clothes set out last night so I could get up and job on the treadmil but then bam kids get sick, the girls actually. And they've been on me since then. I just don't know. Is there anyone that reads this that can help???? Oh well....I'm hoping to maybe get to the gym this week....I'm off to get kids....

Much Love

Week 8 already gone? Now on week 9?!

Well week 8 came and went in just a blink of an eye! And let me tell you it SUCKED!! I've been so busy lately and will continue to be, (read on my other blog why) and I just can't seem to get my butt in gear. I've miss running though. The more I do it the more I miss it when I don't do it! Anyways last week was nasty with eating AND exercising so I'm hoping to do better. Our weather has FINALLY started to get better, knock on wood, and I hope it continues to stay that way, again knock on wood! I'm ready to be outside and do things. Anyways here's to a better week. I'm hoping for weight loss. The group of girls I chat with have changed the check in/weigh in day from monday to sat, I'm not sure I like sat so I might still be checking in here....we'll see. Anyways here's to better week all the way around!

much love!

Week 7...not such a good start.

Well I haven't been feeling well for a little while....a few days so I haven't gotten any exercise in well GOOD exercise. But I'm happy to report I haven't gained any but then again I haven't lost any either. Poo. anyways I'm hoping to start to feel better so I can get back to jogging. I just can't do it while I'm sick. Anyways just a little update...more later....

much love!

Weigh in and messurements!

Much love!

Week 6....I'm so happy!

GROWL! I just had it all typed up and tried to post this and it deleted it....oh well I'll just retype it again...it's gotta burn some calories right? lol

well this is week 6 since I started training for the 5k and week 2 since starting my iFit cds. I have to say that I LOVE those!! They are so awesome!! Just love the way they work and everything. It's like having a personal trainer at home.....Anyways I've been doing good with those. I did it today and I'm just so happy to get it done. I feel so good and good about ME after I'm done! I've been doing other things too. I've been taking a few classes at the local gym, the Apple. I want to try everything they have to offer. I've been feeling so great lately. I took Jordan and Tara to monster trucks on sat and ended up going up and down 70 stairs about 7 times, 2 of those with Tara asleep...that's an additional 37 lbs! I was so suprised and excited to realize I wasn't that winded. I mean I was but I recovered with in 30 secs! I was so proud of myself. Two months ago I would have been SO tired! I'm also so proud of me today. I ran at 5 mph for a min! that's HUGE for me! I've only been runing like 4 mph and today I did 5 and even more I did most of the workout at 4.7 mph!! I'm STOKED about that! It was awesome. I'd run about 3 mins and take a 30-60 sec break and go back...it was awesome. I'm expecting some great numbers this week. I'm going to run that 5k if it's the last thing I do!!!

I'm starting on my metformin this week. I've been having some problems with my blood sugars being out of control. It's so strange. I can eat crappy and not exercise and my bs are ok and good, I start to lose weight, exercise daily, and watch what I eat and they go sky high! So wierd to me! But I'm hoping with added met that I'll just lose more and more weight. I'm not looking forward to adjusting to it, I always end up with a headache for WEEKS....but looking forward to getting ME healthly! Anyways I need to go do house work.....stay tuned...tonight is weigh in and messuerments! I'm expecting some good numbers!!! Till then...

Much love!

But it was SO nice to run!!! I really enjoyed it. Just reminded me that I really did miss it and I really REALLY enjoy running. Tomorrow is weigh in day and messurements. I haven't been posting like I wanted to...I haven't been doing messurements like I wanted to just cause I lost my tape messure but I'm thinking I'll go buy another one tomorrow and get some messurements.

Week 1 Day 1 on my program

Well last night I got a treadmil! WOO HOO! I'm so stinkin happy to have it here. Got it here and set up. I got up this morning ready to start training. My treadmil has this 5K button on it where it helps you train for a 5K or even 10K. I did that today and it was hard. It changed the incline all the time so I had to keep knocking it down but I did do the mph and it was hard....I didn' think I could jog for 3 mins straight....but....I DID IT!!!!! WOO HOO! GO ME! So I'm happy to report I've did it! I'm going to keep up with this program on my treadmil for now....I'm hoping to be able to get up to the incline...also you put in your weight and that changes how fast it goes to...so as I lose weight the mph will go up....I'm so excited! Anyways I'm off to start house work and take a shower!
