power through it!

I am completely drained! I thought I was going to have the day off and be able to complete 2 wokrouts. But they were busy at work so I got called in. And we were pretty busy. So I didnt get some of the cleaning done that I wanted to but I made a little money. Anyway, I got home from work, ate dinner, and took Addie to swim lessons. I made Ian go with her because, for one I was tired, and two, I didnt know if I wanted to see myself in a swim suit. When we got there, I saw several reasons that I still need to continue with this diet! After Addies lesson, we came home and relaxed for a little bit before getting her ready for bed. Then one of my favorite shows, The RIver was on. I decided to watch all of it and began to think, naa Im not going to do my workout. Then I remembered those reasons I still needed to workout. So I got ready, and did the kickboxing workout. I was exhausted, sweaty, and had a horrible headach. But I powered through it. I admit, I did the modifications, and I rested longer than I should but I got through it. Im glad that I powered through it becuase the scale rewarded me. Im officially in 1 3 9!!!! I cant believe it! I still dont know why I cant fit into the next size jean, but again, my jeans are too big and contiune to fall down. And Im fittiting into shirts better. But I still have a gut. This week I need to focus on powering through it. I need to focus on: sticking to the diet, getting out and enjoying the beautiful weather by walking with my daughter, and doing the workouts. And hopefully at the end of the week, the scale with contiune to reward me.

lets go

So I weighed myself today. I was a little nervous but Im glad that I did it. Before I tell you my weight, let me tell you about my day. I had the day off and I went to Goodwill after I dropped Addie off at daycare. I wanted to buy pants for work but didnt find anything. I did get a couple of medium tops though. (And Sponge Bob jammie pants for Addie!) After Goodwill, I went home and did some laundry and cleaned the bathroom. I knew I wanted to workout, so about 11 I did my phase 3 workout. It was kickboxing again. I LOVED it! I was dripping in sweat and it felt great. I even tried doing some of the harder moves instead of motifications. It was brutal. But I felt so good after it. I even decided to run on the treadmill. I told myself I would run for as long as I could, then a little longer,and then be done. Well I ran for probably a minute before I was done. For not running, or even walking on the treadmill in a long time, I thought it was pretty good. So before I took my shower, I decided to weigh myself. Again, I was nervous but I needed to know. And I was happy with the result. I weigh, drum roll please, 140! I have lost 28 pounds so far on the PINK method. I am just a little excited with that number. Im going to continue to work hard, follow the diet and LOOSE this weight!

getting back

Ok, so I havent been keeping up with the blog and I havent been keeping up with the diet. I was excited to loose those 25 pounds, but one sip of pepsi and I was off. And tonight was bad. We had pizza for supper. It tasted so good. But now my tummy is aching. I guess its not used to grease. And I feel bloated. So why did I eat the pizza? Im not sure. But tomorrow Im going to restart the diet and workouts. Im going to loose 25 pounds in the last 3 weeks of this phase. I did 2 of the workouts already. The one I LOVED! It was kick boxing. It felt so good to to say, "hooaaa" ! These workouts are crazy. They are so intense. But I love the lead on this phase. So hopefully she can keep  me engaged and help me loose this weight!!!!

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.
