15 lbs gone!

WEll damn! 15 lbs!!  now what i don’t understand is how i can go 2 weeks with no loss then with in 2 days lose 4 lbs! well I’m not complaining mind you just wondering. At least i know this is how my body is working now and i wont freak out anymore when for a week or two i don’t lose anything like i did a week ago.

BUT 15 LBS SINCE NOVEMBER 3RD!!! its great to see all that dedication and hard work paying off

now if i can just get myself to drink more water… lol

god bless and hope your day starts as encouraging as mine!

on my way to healthy.

Well I am 2 more lbs down ! its been just over a month since i got serious about watching my calories and getting some exercise into my life. 13 lb in one month is not bad if i say so my self! BUT now that its been a month i have seen my self start to want to slack on the exercise because i don’t have a firm routine in place. I look at all the sites and just pick different things to do lol. mostly its strength stuff and not a whole lot of cardio even tho I KNOW cardio will burn so much more but i have not found much that i can do for more then 15 min ( if that ) before my legs hurt so bad.  I need to work on it more to get it up there but my lazyness gets in the way! so i do lots of crunches, wall push ups ( working my way to real ones! can do 5 modified floor ones now ) leg lifts lots of arm stuff with weights!  iv lost a few in” mostly from my waist lol told hubby i was going to look damn funny if that’s the only place i keep losing from!

I walk started walking are stairs daily .. man am i out of shape that will put it in your face fast. my max is 5 up and down before my legs are to watery to safely keep going. sigh. but its a start. its all a start and there’s nothing greater then seeing yourself improve something like this! Take push ups , i could not do ONE modified push up when i started a month ago but i have been working my arms and chest and doing wall pushups and can now do ( struggling!) 5 modified floor ones! so that seems like nothing to a lot of ppl but for a obeise out of shape me, its GREAT!

I need to sit down and actually make some goals i think to keep me motivated. and have something smaller to work for then just the huge weight lose im going for. maybe something like 5 military push ups LOL ouch.. or 10 times up and down the stairs. small but attainable a lot faster then the weight loss, and the thing i have to remind myself is. the goal isnt really the target weight its my life style change im working on. Eating better food, less of it and moving more!  doing this will eventually GET me to the weight i would like to be but regardless each day i am getting healthier and stronger and finally setting some really good examples for my kids.

ohhh my poor 11 yr old! sigh he is overweight also. he has no activity’s in his daily routine either and i keep saying i was going to get him started on something but keep pushing it off because i didn’t want to overwhelm him with school and band and chess and this.. when was i going to fit it in? would he then have to much? UNTIL yesterday.. he told me NONE of his pants fill comfortably, the 2 that do are at his DADS! sigh well you have to ware something to school! so now we have to go get him BIGGER PANTS! 34s!!!! omg.. so last night he started his first exercise tape. if it was not getting so cold out i would just make us both go walking after dinner ( i might still do that!) it would get the cardio i need and get him moving also. This was just the stray that broke my back. i fill so bad for him, i was fat in school and i know how the kids are and im letting my son walk right into it because im being to lazy to make him start moving. well no more! we will fold up the 32’s and save them for in a month or so when he can fit back into them and then hopefully we will be shopping for smaller soon!

so all in all its been going really well but now i fill myself wanting to slack and get that thinking.. ok i know what to do , i don’t need to keep track of my food anymore or i don’t NEED to do any crunches today.. Its time for my second wave of will power and making myself push threw it … hence the small goals..

I think ill go with the ones from above. my small goal will be to be able to do 10 modified push ups and 10 sets of stairs. sigh and i REALLY need to get more water daily but i hate water! blah! blah! blah!

well thats my rambling for today. god bless!
