Getting Healthy!!

ARGH!!!

I am getting so frustrated! When mom was here I weighed myself on Thursday. I weighed in at 188.8 pounds. I was really happy! We then worked out for an hour. 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of light weights and ab exercises. Friday we did a yoga/pilates class, and then we went to the zoo where we walked around for 3 hours. Saturday we went to the Peabody and a museum. More walking around. I worked out on monday (light cardio) and then weighed in on Tuesday and was very sad to see that I weighed 192.4 pounds. What the heck is going on!!

On top of that, I have to get very creative with working out. The gym is re-modeling the family room starting today and it won't re-open until the 4th. So I can't go to the gym. Sucky!

I Love to Dance!!

I had so much fun putting together this playlist! (Top of the page...my "muzak!"). I've been dancing on and off all night. And of course I am keeping track of my aerobic minutes! I dance until my side hurts, then I do some free weights and then I dance some more. Now, I ain't saying that I'm dancing all that great...but I am having so much fun!! For now Brian is working 12's (there is an exercise going on) so he has to be at work at 7pm. Which works out great for me. I can dance after the kids go to bed and no one can see me and tease me! Although, the kids like to dance, too. I should make them a dance playlist, too.

I'm a Bum

After all the grief I gave Jennifer about never updating her blog, here I am. It's been two months since I posted anything! Shameful!

Anyway, I was really bad about not going to the gym or working out and eating like crap. So I have had to tweak my goals and such. That's why the tracker has changed.

Anyway, I am going with my starting weight of 192.5 since that is what I weighed when I went back to the gym. I'm going to track my total weight loss and my mini-goals of losing 10 pounds at a time until I reach my goal. Everytime I lose 10 pounds, I get $20 to spend on new clothes at the thrift store.

I made it to the gym the 2nd, the 8th and the 9th so far. Not a bad start. I do cardio and free weights. My thighs and buns are a little sore today from all the squats and lunges. But it's a good kind of burn.
