Revival!

It's time to revive this blog I think. Not just for those who might read it but for me. I need to start logging in everything I do. I mean everything. The good, the bad and the lazy. (Lazy would be me...as much as I am able to.)

Yesterday I started my "workouts" again. I attempted to do EA Active on the Wii with DH but after 10mins my knee's were on fire. (not in a good way) So I stopped. Shortly after though I went on an 1 1/2 hr walk around housing with my neighbor.

While out and about the hubby and I ended up at Olive Garden for a late lunch...don't worry I had 3 plates of salad. I did indulge in a couple bread sticks and 3 of the lasagna frittas (have you HAD these OMG - YUM)

Since our lunch was so late I wasn't hungry by the time dinner for the kids rolled around. Chef was being so sweet he made the kids sloppy joes and corn for dinner. A couple hours later I was hungry again so I took some green leaf lettuce pieces and wrapped them around a tablespoon of the joe mix. Not the best meal but it worked for then. A little while later I had a tablespoon of oven roasted almond slices.

Not the best for the day but hey tomorrow is a new day and I'll get in more proteins. Well today IS tomorrow...LOL. When I woke up I had a glass of water and some almond slices. After I took the kids to the bus stop I kicked my husband out of the house for a little while so I could work out. I'm coming to you straight from that workout...I did 15mins of Turbo Jam and then 10 mins of the Ab Workout. I'm pooped, need to shower but hungry. Food is first.

What do I want?

Making Progress

I'm so excited to say that I've had some progress, but not as much as I'd hope to see this time. I've lost 5lbs and 8 inches all over. It seems like I'm working harder this time but not having the results I'd hoped for. I've been told to look at the inches lost and not so much the weight....soooo with that being said, I'm happy with the 8 inches. I also started back up at the gym. I have to get my cardio in. I've gained some running partners, so next week I will start running with this group at 5am Mon, Wed, Fri. OMG! What am I thinking???? I hope I make it through this....LOL

Time for a change

I started the Slim in 6 DVD's 4 weeks ago. I think I am done. Doing the same thing everyday for 50+ minutes is not for me. I am determined to keep working out though. I am afraid if I continue trying to finish these last two weeks of the Slim in 6 I'll quit and not do anything. This is my plan...

Running/Speed walking at least 3 times a week(building up from 30 -45 mins). On the days I don't I will use the Ramp It up (from the Slim in 6 set) and Walk slim DVD's. That way it is changed up. In addition I will use the Abs and Slim and Limber sections of the Slim in 6 set everyday. This is my goal. I think this would work a ton better then forcing myself to complete thier Burn It Up DVD for 58 minutes a day.

Progress...

Okay so I have made it to my final weeks into the Slim in 6 program. I must say I am dying (or close to it) but since I am almost done I think I can continue on. LOL
(Last day is July 18th)

I checked a couple measurements this morning. Didn't mark them down but wanted to see if there have been ANY changes since my wk 2 measurements. I am happy to say that I have lost an average of 1 inch all over so far. (Some places more then 1 inch) I guess thats progress. Not as much as I'd like but it's something. (Also lost close to 6lbs...)

I also join a weight loss challenge and now I have other depending on me to keep this up.

Once I finish the Slim in 6 DVD's I think I will start running. It might be less tasking on my body. Funny you'd think running would be harder. LOL That or I'll be one of "those' people speed walking (said to be as effective but easier on your knees). Sounds like a plan to me.

Happy Working Out!

MIA

Sorry I have been MIA. Never fear though I have been working out. I am starting to get the hang of this Slim in 6 program. Course this is until I have to move up to the next level. LOL Hope everyone is having a great workout.

Pop n lock

I don't think they meant that to mean when your elbows and knee's pop everytime you do a move during your excercise program. Call it a hunch.

Doing well here - managed to work out everynight this week. Now just have to do it tomorrow then I get a day off. WAHOO!

Accountability...

I need some BIG time. If you are here and reading this then I need YOU to comment. I almost didn't work out tonight. This is how it always is. I am motivated and doing it but then I am just like oh one night won't kill me. YES it will. It won't work if I skip it. Someone needs to make sure I am staying on track. I have no self control. It's been busy around here. Chef is working long hours so I'm doing more in the evenings and by the time the work out rolls around I do not want to do it.

No worries though. I did do it tonight but I didn't start until 9pm. sigh I need to get it done earlier. Cause now it's after 10pm and I'm too pooped to go upstairs too bed.
