Like some girls dream of that perfect white dress, the one they will build the entire wedding around, I dream of the shoes. Christian Louboutin is actually a bit high for my budget, but I am really in love with these. They are everything this little girl can dream about!

11:00 – Unwrap one grape blow pop.
11:01 – Start the timer.
11:03 – I can see the tiny tab of gum on the side and that makes it easier to not bite the dang thing!
11:19 – 17:33.2 minutes later you can consider this DONE! Oh, stop timer!
That is the date and time of the first event I want to put myself in and I plan on running! There are others that I might check out but that is the one I am holding myself to! That means I have four months to get myself into it. I see this as a run on the treadmill and build myself up for two months and then take it to an outdoor venue and get myself ready for the outdoor aspect of it!
I picked out a new year resolution today. I feel happy with it, and I might make a few more! :)
40 minutes; over 2.5 miles walked/jogged/RAN; over 220 calories burned. Today I RAN a mile strait! Then I took five to power walk and then I RAN another half mile. I am in love with how it feels. It is getting better, my heart rate is more normal and I breathe okay and I just push!
I wish I was at home. At this point just praying that we get where we need to be to get married and home school next year! Fingers crossed!
I have been going for a week as part of a free trial. I really like the gym I am going to and they have a low monthly month to month rate. I have been jogging and loving going. I think that I am going to join and make my goal, starting January, to workout four days and make sure the gym is two on them!
I am sad because this long, beautiful family weekend is over. :(
45 minutes, 2.63 miles walked/jogged, 240 calories burned
This weekend has been long and beautiful, for various reasons it has shifted and turned BUT it is only a 9 because it is coming to an end! Loved working out and LOVED being with family!
What? Down 57.5 over all! Loss 1.6 on Thanksgiving week!
Gym! Jogged! 15 of 37 minutes! I am in love with life! Yeah!
Turkey, fruit, veggies, family, laughter, football, kittens, pets, home, job ~ God gave, and gave plenty. Thank You, God, for my many blessings. Those that have been received and those yet to come. For my life, and all the good in it! For hearing my prayers and loving me and protecting me. For my family and our love.
Went to the gym and kicked ass! Jogged for 32 minutes and walked REALLY EFFIN’ FAST for 18!
I jogged yesterday. No really! Anywho, the kids come home from my mom’s house and I stop by the gym to JOG again! Then FOUR day weekend with turkey and football tomorrow. Say a tiny prayer for the Saints! Yay!
I JOGGED!!!!! 30 minute workout, 20 minutes jogging and 12ish walking FAST! OMG! I am so happy!
Would be a 10, but the kids are with mom. It’s my birthday – 30! (And under 200 pounds!) Yesterday I slept all day, litterally! Like I woke, got dressed, slept in the car. Got to work and slept at my desk, slept in the car ride home and went strait to bed. I slept through Monday night football and dinner! I guess I needed it because today I feel great and I am happy! Yay!
37 minutes on Pia, my real bike. No idea how much distance I covered or how many calories burned, but it was fun and I feet good!
I miss the littles, but I have had fun with my ♥ and we have been having a blast being grown ups! From distillery tours to festivals in the city and now onto grill outside… Happy.
I weigh 199.2! I am under and I will try my best to never be there again! Now, I know that the next few weeks with holidays and such will be hard. My goal is to lose at least five pounds from now to January 1st. Then to lose seven before February. Of course that is just what I am thinking now and I may very well be adjusting that!
On a fun, crazy note – my BMI was 41.1 when I started this and it is now 34.2! 24-29.9 is overweight, which means that is 4.3 BMI points I will no longer be obese! INSANE!
Well, I was really upset about loosing only a LITTLE bit on a week when I kicked my own ass! Then, about five minutes ago I started my period! Yay! If things go “okay” this week then I will most probably lose!
I sent the babes off to school knowing that they go to my mother’s this weekend. Sad. I am at work alone. Sad. I can’t wait to weigh in. Happy. I have done well this week and get to take the day off from work outs. Happy. Thank God, for everything. Thank God.
No idea how much of what besides doing 30 minutes; I turned off the bike and just worked out while hanging with MoMo. Still, 30 done! DAYS THIS WEEK!
Love my babies and they are going to be with my mother for the next five days, starting tomorrow. :( I know I should be glad for the grown up time, but as it draws near all I feel is sad.
30 minutes; 229 calories burned; 6.175 miles biked.
In my head, at any given time, I have a number of different challenges and goals for my weight loss. Numbers that I am always crunching to make myself feel good. So let’s take a quick look at where I am at.
Starting weight – 255
Current weight – 200
First goal – 10% of starting weight – 25 pounds – need to lose: DONE
Second goal – 10% of new weight (230) – 23 pounds – need to lose: DONE
Third goal – 10% of new weight (207) – 20 pounds – need to lose: 12.9
Fourth goal – 10% of new weight (187) – 18 pounds – need to lose: 30.9
100 pound goal – projected new weight (169) – 14 pounds – 44.9
I am sweaty and I am tired. In case ANYONE missed that. My phone flippin’ froze THREE times during this workout. I kept going and was frustrated – BUT it was nice to get it done in the face of adversity! It is playing lovely now, yeah, um, thanks!
30 minutes; 225 calories burned; 6.592 miles biked. Whew!
My nerves are bad. I am just praying and keeping faith. I am bummed because I made lunch and then left it in the kitchen, where I KNOW Ruby will drag it all over my house! Grrrr. I didn’t work out – have to do it this evening. Boo.
30 minutes; 257 calories burned; 7.025 miles biked.
:( Sad because the kids are off to school and the love has to work in another state today which means she is FAR away. Hope it is only one day. On the positive side: lunch will be easy to control ‘cause it is just me!
30 minutes; 237 calories burned; 7 miles biked! Whoa!
The pain has not spread, it is holding steady at “there but not too bad” and that is wonderful! Eating very clean and working out (well, I will be working out.) Right now I am heading to WallyWorld! Yay!
30 minutes; 273.7 calories burned; 7.472 miles biked.
I think I am going to have to pick between killer ripped workouts like that one or longer/multiple workouts. Either way. Right now I feel amazing – like I am high. (Kinda like the one time in eight grade when I huffed, only without the fear of getting caught, dying or my mom finding out!) (Gosh, I am so glad I grew up!)
Lost weight, feeling happy. Pain, eh. MoMo is sick, we are rolling to the doctor in a bit. Then I thought everyone would benefit from a little sunshine so we are heading to the lake with Subway snacks and waters! Yay! When we get home I have plans to workout as long as I can (I hope to get an hour down today.)
I heard some things are changing with the way WW defines their points. We will get more points, but things will cost more points. Hmmm. Well, I will give it a go – only this is working for me and I am hesitant to change anything! Total loss: 55.1! SHUT UP!!!!
30 minutes; 208.1 calories burned; 6.338 miles biked.
Sadly I woke up with pain, I know – that sucks. It’s in my back, neck and shoulders and I can feel it seeping into my hands. Oh, well. I decided that made it extra important to work out, because I KNOW I will not want to do it later. I feel more tired than I should, so I think I might be in a down cycle. What can I do? It will not stop me. I am losing weight, I am happy and I am here to rock! :) Week end plans? Weigh in and sleep a bit! Yay! (Also have a dozen or so things to do with MoMo (Lou) and Putt!
Well, thank you God! It is turning around and I am happy about it! Yesterday my boss was in an awful mood and it slowly decayed any good will I had. I got home and I worked out and you know what? I felt better. (I know that I knew that, I just could not get it done.) Today, however, I woke up at 5:34 and I started my workout and I feel SOOOO much better! Yay! Thanks, everybody, for sticking with me. Thanks Nari, for always having a kind word that really lifts my spirits when I need it! :)
Also, if you didn’t see the video – my mom is in the clear. Another great big shout out to the Lord above! Thanks!!!
30:10 minutes; 225.9 calories burned; 6.406 miles biked. 5:45 in the morning! THANK YOU, GOD!!!
This has been shameful! Down right shameful! I got my head out of the clouds today. I shook it off, and I got a flippin’ grip. I am not expecting immediacy – though that would be nice – and I know that only I can constantly evolve for myself and constantly adjust myself and my routine. It is natural to want to stick to what works, but in life things change and you either change with them or get left behind. So today I choose to change!
I present to you the first non-suckage workout in way too long – 30 minutes; 230 calories burned; 6.586 miles biked!!!! I’m back!!!!!!
I am worried about my mom. I am sad and I am lost. I am stuck in prayer – the kind that comes from constant fear. :(
Oooh, not good. Creeping lower. Somehow I have been forgetting my vitamins. I need to work on that! Also, I keep putting off working out. This is no good and it will not take me down!
Yesterday was a 7 – good, not great; today is the same. I am so tired and so empty. I feel like going to bed and staying there FOREVER. Hmmmm. MUST workout today, I gave myself yesterday off.
I really want my phone by the time this year’s Christmas party rolls around. One of the things I like the most is that several of the reviews I have read mentions that the user would be comfortable leaving their point and shoot camera as well as their flip recorder home unless they KNEW they needed something special. (Well, I would love to cart all that around!)
I am soooo tired. I cannot wait to get home and get to bed. I weigh in tomorrow and pray to God it is a good one. Not a bad day, not a great on either.
30 minutes; 140 calories burned; 5.938 miles biked.
On a Friday? Yep, on a Friday. At least I got it done, y’all!
I am in a grump foul mood. I feel like I am gaining. I have made less than stellar choices and I am worried. (I stayed in my points, BUT did so wretchedly!)
I just can’t do it. I feel like it’s a will power thing. I want something sweet and before I can enjoy it I have consumed it. I want to fix this so that I can have a piece of candy without it becoming a problem.
30 minutes; 159.3 calories burned; 4.946 miles biked – 5:30 in the father f*cking morning!
I screwed the pooch on this week. I let everything ride till the last day I comfortably like working out. So to get this done I had to work out this morning and this afternoon. Morning – done. Afternoon? I hope so!
So this was my old rewards list:
50 pounds – my love bag!
55 pounds – my choice of the Monster High dolls – I love Frankie!
60 pounds – blue PaperJamz guitar
65 pounds – PaperJamz amp
70 pounds – PaperJamz drums
75 pounds – another Monster High doll
Along with that I also got a new Kindle Christopher Moore book every week that I worked out. Only I decided I really want a reborn doll by a pricey artist and now I am putting all this $$$ towards that.
I already got my LOVE bag – LOVE it! But, for the next it goes like this:
55 pounds – $20 in doll fund
60 pounds – $25 in doll fund
65 pounds – $15 in doll fund
70 pounds – $20 in doll fund
75 pounds – $25 in doll fund
Instead of having a new Kindle book every week I work out I am putting 10 dollars to my doll! Yay!
I miss the wee ones. I know they were bored, but it was nice having them here with me. I can’t wait to be home with them all summer and then Putt will be home schooled and Lou will join us next year! Yay!
It would be a 9, but the joy of having the babies here at work with me over shadows the fact that this is the last day. :( Must work out today, I keep forgetting to get up in the morning! Yikes!
While, honestly, it is a bit stressful having the kids at work with me – it is also amazing! I feel so relaxed. :) Yay! Oh, and no dancing this week, what a relief from the norm. Maybe I will get my kitchen cleaned, and dinner cooked, and kids bathed all in one full night!
