Totally Working

Ok, so I'm so excitied and couldn't wait to finish my workout so I could come home and tell you all my exciting news. I went to the gym changed into my workout clothes, so heres the exciting news.....The shorts that I bought at the first of January are getting too big! YEA I was so excited to have to tighten up string so that during my workout they would fall down.

Done with the Personal trainer for this week, just cardio left tomorrow and Saturday. Then we start over again Monday. Actually looking forward to weigh in day on Saturday. Happy weighing everyone.

Last Chance Workout

I worked out hard tonite! Wohoo, I am tired but I feel awesome, and sore! LOL! I walked for 20 minutes outside in the WIND! I wish it would stop blowing! Then I did my 30 minute run/walk on the treadmill, then and here is where the sore part comes in, I did 45 minutes of Biggest Loser Power Sculpting. Oh My Godness! Feel the burn!! If I don't loose weight this week I am going to be really upset, I have done everything right and I want to see some results!

Oh My Gosh

OK, so I really like working out with my trainer, but I think I'm going to die of soreness by morning. Today was lower body workout, which doesn't take as long so he had me do some work on the mat. At fist just leg lifts, pelvic lifts, really no big deal, my abs say it was a big deal, but I can live with that. Then we did some differant stretching things and up on toes and elbows, that is what killed me. I am not strong enough to do that yet, I did it, but boy is my body yelling at me now. Well, it's off to bed now, should sleep well, just hope that I don't have to move too much.

The Good and the Bad

What a crazy day. So normally I come straight home from work and workout before anything else other wise I talk myself out of it. Today I met a friend at Subway for dinner then we went to WalMart to do some grocery shopping. I got home just after 6pm. So I decided ok its not that late I can still work out, so I put groceries away, feed the dogs and change my clothes. Then the doorbell rings. My neighbor comes over to tell me that the fence between our yards has been blown over by the HURRICANE winds we had yesterday and are still blowing today! He can't fix (apparently he has NO SKILLS!) and he is scared of the dogs! Of course Bruce is in Kansas until Saturday so I have to get this fence fixed tonight. So I go over 2 house to another neighbor who we are actually friends with. God Bless Stoney. He came over and did a temporary fix on the fence until Bruce can fix it right. According to Stoney yeah the other neighbor is scared of dogs, and also scared of his own shadow. LOL! Anyway the GOOD----It was after 8pm when we finished the fence, but instead of just blowing it off, guess what I worked out! 30 minutes on that elliptical!! Yeah for me. The BAD--I have a rule of no eating after 7pm. But since I ate dinner earlier than usual and worked out later the usual I was hungry so I ate a Fiber One bar at 8:40pm. UGH! I still had 2 points to use and it was 2 pts so it could have been worse I just hate eating that late and so close to bed time! Oh well , hopefully all will be back to normal tomorrow!

Back with the Trainer

Well, my gym days were few and far between since last Wednesday and boy have I missed it. LOL, I never thought that I would ever say that I missed exercising. I didn't go last Thursday, had to do an activity with Steven at school, then Friday had a migrane so no going anywhere that day. I did go on Saturday and did a workout. Sunday, my day off, and then I was planning to go yesterday but when I got home from work we had about 5-6 inches of snow in the driveway and on the sidewalk so I thought that shoveling snow would be a good workout and boy was it. However it was no match for the gym. Felt so good to get back to the gym. Did upper body and cardio today. Feeling a little sore, but not near like when I started last week. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

Thought for the week:

The secret of success is having the courage to begin in the first place.

Ran, but not as planned

Well I got my run in today, but not the way I had planned. I had wanted to take Candy to the park and run with her outside, its for sure warm enough here today, but it didn't work out that way. Its warm, but WINDY!!!! Power lines and trees are down, traffic lights are out and grass fires all over the place, the air is brown from all the dirt flying. So I decided that being outside wasn't a good idea so I ran on the treadmill. I hope the next scheduled day to run, Thursday, will be better, for now its saying rain but we will just have to wait and see what happens, hope to get to the park!

30 minutes

I actually made it 30 minutes at one time on the elliptical! It was hard but I did it, then I followed it up with 30 minutes of power sculpting with Jillian and Bob Biggest Loser DVD! I increased the amount of weights tonite and my arms are really feeling it! Tomorrow is another run day, I am actually looking forward to running outside again! Now I need to go soak in a hot bath!

Outside

Well I did it! I ran outside! I wish my treadmill worked better! LOL No really it is easier on the treadmill, but outside wasn't too bad! I couldn't run as fast outside as I do on the treadmill, but that will come with time. I took Gunner and he had a blast! He LOVES to run! I kept talking to him when we were running, "good boy Gunner" "keep going Gunner" "just a few more seconds Gunner" Mostly to keep my mind on running and not the time and wanting to stop. Poor Gunner kept looking at me like he was wanting to say back "what the heck are you talking about Mom, I am kicking your A$$." Next time I think I will take Candy and see how she does. The thirty minutes really seem to go back alot quicker outside too so thats a bonus. I think in time I will enjoy it as much as I do on the treadmill.
On another note..Bruce just left again for Kansas. A emergency property issue, but while he is there he is going to do some work for Hugo as well, to make some money. He is supposed to be back Friday but who knows if that plan will actually happen. A friend from Weight Watchers wants me to work out with her this week while he is gone at her gym. I have a free 10 day pass so it wont cost me anything and I think it will be fun to do some things I don't get to do normally.

Hope everyone has a good week!!!

DARN GIRL SCOUTS!

I HATE GIRL SCOUTS! Well, ok I dont hate girl scouts but I do HATE COOKIE SELLING TIME! So far I have avoided them, but I know they will be stalking the doors of WalMart for the next 2 weeks!! GGRR!!! I will NOT GIVE IN!! NO COOKIES!

Not Bad

Good job girls!!! I am down 1 lb which is good considering the week that I had. I hope to do better this week. My jeans are also feeling a little better.

I'll Take it!

Well no loss this week, BUT NO gain either!! Stayed exactly the same! Since its that time of the month I will take it! I normally gain big time so I am happy. I am just feeling so much better and so energized with the healthy eating and exercising. And even though I lost no weight this week, I feel like I have lost some inches and have done some toning up so I feel good with this week!

A good week

Well, the soreness was worth it....down two pounds this week, bringing my total weight loss down 4 pounds. :) Yea, celebration time. Hope all of you do just as good!
