Look at that body....I work out

Im sexy and I know it.....lol I thought those lyrics were perfect for what Im feeling. I weighed myself and Im proud to say that I weigh 143 pounds!!!!!Holy cow!!! I dont even know the last time I was in the 140s. My size 14 work pants are finally fitting. And last weekend I bought a size 12 jean from Goodwill.I could fit into them but they were tight.Im hoping in a few more weeks I will be able to fit into the smaller jeans. And I might just have to buy some more new clothes. Oh darn!  I wish that it would give me inspiration to work out tonight. But Im exhausted from meetings at work and Im trying to get rid of a headache. I wanted this post to be longer but my head is really hurting so on that note, I am going to bed!

blah

So Im not really feeling my workouts this week, well the ones I have done. I dont know whats going on. I feel like Im not loosing the weight and I dont feel like doing the workouts. I did have a real test this weekend and on Valentines Day. I had to work at my parents resturant. I was around pop, carbs, and chocolate. I did drink water and ate my correct portions. But I had a drink of pepsi and a few chocolate kisses. Again, I was hoping that I wouldnt like it. But I did. And I didnt have time to workout Tues or Wed. And when tonight came around, I really didnt want to do the work. But I did. And it was an ok workout. Im really needing your motivation and your inspiration!On a positive note, I told Ian that I didnt want to workout but that I didnt want to be fat more. So I worked out:)

Happy birthday

So its been awhile since I blogged last. I apologize to my few readers that I have not blogged in a few days. Heres a quick catch up. I have entered phase 2 of my workouts. They are intense! Longer workout sessions have left me sweating and hurting. But I know its all worth it! I havent weighed myself in awhile because we have celebrated 3 birthdays and Im a little nervous about the result.(Hence the title of this blog) We celebrated my dads birthday, where I ate a good dinner, but had 2 pieces of cake. Oh man was it delicious! Then we celebrated Ians grandfathers birthday last week and I ate a good supper again, but had a 2 small slices of ice cream cake. It so was GOOD! And today we celebrated Ians birthday at Red Lobster. I ate my salad, tiliapia, rice, and broccoli. I resisted the temptation of the chedder bay biscuts. But I did not resist the temptations for a glass of wine AND dessert. Ian and I shared a chocolate chip brownie sundae. Oh my goodness, as Phase 2 lead Lisa would say, it was soooooo good. I do feel bad but its a celebration. Today was also my day off day, so as I said, I DO feel bad. But my mouth was watering just looking at the desserts. I know when I do my workout tomorrow I will push myself. I just have to do it. One small celebration that didnt involve food was the fact that Ian, Addie, and I went to Goodwill and I bought a pair of new jeans! They are tight, but I squeezed myself into them. I look at it as my inspiration jeans. Im hoping that by next week, I will be able to fit into them. Its the small things that make me happy! Oh the last time I did weigh myself, I came in at 148. Wow, I feel like I have put a couple of pounds back on since then from the birthday celebrations. But also I am building muscle, as Ian likes to remind me everyday. To be in the 140s is great. Im almost half way done with the PINK method and have lost 20 pounds. Im hoping that I can loose another 20 in the last half. So heres to living and breathing PINK this week and shedding those birthday celebration pounds away. Heres to pushing myself even harder and loving myself. Heres to fitting into my new jeans(did I mention they are a size smaller?!?!?!) and heres to having a great week!

hmmmm

Well, I didnt do as good as I wanted to with the 4 days of the reset diet. And I know why. I have no self control. And I was home 3 of the 4 days. I think with Ian here I do alot better because I dont want to disapoint him. I snacked this weekend. I snacked alot. Whenever Addie had a snack I had a snack. We got Chilis to go and I had a steak with broccoli. But we did the 2 for 20 so we got an appetizer and our meals. I had some of the chips and salsa. Then I had some of Addies cinnamon apples. Another day I had some of Addies mac and cheese. I had carbs instead of carrots.And tonight dinner was so good that I ate more protein that I should have. Ahhhh why cant I stop myself? With all of that, today I weighed in and did my measurements. Im disapointed in my weight, but my measurements were ok. I weighed in at 153. I have lost 13 inches collectively from my bust, waist, hips, and thighs. I am proud of that. And something else I am proud of is the fact my size 14(yes I said size 14) jeans dont fit anymore! They dont fit in a good way, I need a belt! I am so excited about that. Im going to focus on that and move forward. I had 4 days of the reset and 2 days of it I did yoga. And today Addie and I went for a walk. Tomorrow I start phase 2 of pink primary. The workouts increase in intensity and duration. Im excited but nervous. Tomorrow is a new day and the start of a new week. I will focus on what I eat and eat my veggies.

Feeling it

Wow what a great workout tonight. I did my 20 minutes of kardio(with a k!) and 15 minutes of yoga core. I stretched more than I have ever done. And in my kardio, I did more jumping jacks with weights. I am feeling pretty proud of myself. Before my shower, I stood infront of the mirror and flexed. Im getting toned biceps!!!!! Now if I could only do something about this tummy. Im excited to get my muscles toned. Now I have a rest day tomorrow and then 4 days of the reset, with no workouts, or light workout. Im hoping that I can shed atleast 4 pounds, although I would like to loose 5. I intend to do a light workout everyday and maybe walk on the treadmill. My calorie count will be low and I dont want to over do it though. I have my official weigh in tomorrow as well as my measurments. It will be interesting to see how far I have come in these last weeks of the pink primary. Also, I wanted to mention that I made turkey pattys with stewed tomatoes and sun dried tomatoes, with green beans and couscous. It was sooooo good! I cant wait to make turkey meatballs over whole wheat spaghetti! Even Addie enjoyed the turkey pattys. And I made enough for loads of leftovers! Im planning on having it for lunch tomorrow! And with that, Im heading to bed.

1st time for everything

Well I have been doing pretty good so far with this diet thing. I have been following the diet and doing the workouts. That was until today. I did the workout this morning, it sucked by the way. We were going back to my parents for my dads birthday. They made sure they made the veggies and rice the right way for me. And I ate my 4 oz of steak. But then he had birthday cake. And yes I had some. Not just some, but 2 1/2 pieces! I have no will power when it comes to cake! It was good and I didnt even feel bad about eating it. And let me tell you in was delicious! I just know that tomorrow I will work even harder at staying on track with the diet and doing the workout. I just hope this doesnt lead to having no will power at work tomorrow. And with that I am heading off to bed!

I think * I live * I am PINK

Wow am I really feeling my 40 minute workout tonight! Im pretty proud of myself because I did a few more jumping jacks than I normally do(I do a few then do the modification.), and I did a few more crab crawls. I have decided that I need to work on the plank position because I always do the motification for that. I wish that I could look in the mirror and see more of a change. I still look down and see my tummy flab. I feel like my arms are getting stronger though. I can start to see my muscles! Im weighing in tomorrow. The last time I weighed myself, I had lost one more pound. So I weigh 154. Im hoping I can get into the 140s by next week. Man, that would feel great! I looked ahead in my pink book and in a week, I do the restart diet for 4 days, then start Phase 2. I hope Im ready! I get worn out now trying to keep up and its only going to get harder. Yesterday was a rest day and I did just that. I was going to do one of the bonus workouts in the evening, but instead I relaxed with my husband and a cup of hot tea. We went to bed early last night and I think that was the best thing for me! Tomorrow I want to get up early and workout because we are having breakfast with some fiends from Ians guard base. Im not sure what I will eat, but I plan on sticking to the diet! I think soup and salad are on tap for lunch and Im not sure about dinner. Well I need to finish my post workout shake and head to bed. Night all!
