No weight in today!

Body BLAST!

THEY FINALLY HAVE BODY BLAST!

Gold's Gym FINALLY has a body blast class (1 hr of weight lifting). It is about flippen' time. 3 x's a week. 3 X'S A WEEK.

I went this morning and I can barely move. I LOVE IT!

Oh.......and I start my Step class this Thursday. I GET TO TEACH STEP AEROBICS. It is going to be so much fun. I just hope I can keep it interesting enough for the 50 year old body building man that wants to attend. That's right....I said that a 50 year old, huge, muscly, body building man wants to take my Step class and......he's good, REALLY GOOD. I hope I don't disappoint him.

I will weigh in tomorrow. It's so nice to actually see some participation on this blog. Way to go people.

Until tomorrow........

Sure Feels Good!

I am back to running again and I can't even tell you how much I've missed it. Seriously. Not only has the scale crept up like 6lbs (!!!!!) since the snow hit, but my moods have been the pits as well. I've gone through withdrawals. But, the snow has melted enough that I can find pieces of shoulder and sidewalk to run on so I'm back at it. Saturday my faithful running buddy Abby and I did about 7 miles (well, five with her and then 2 by myself, long story, if you read this, Abby, I'll explain it to you!) and it about killed me, but in a great way. I'm so glad that I've got a good friend to do this with, even if we are in different wards now :-( ...(sorry, another tangent, see my other blog if you're curious).

Okay, enough rambling, I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm still here and just not ready to face the scale again, yet. But, I'm going to have a great week this week (positive thoughts) and I'll weigh in on Saturday.

Whoops!

So I totally fell down on the adminastrative job and did not introduce GrammaB. This is my mom so give her a great big welcome and support her just like you do the rest of us! She's already made post and everything. Love you mom!

Vacation is Over

We went to Utah for the Christmas break, and it was tons of fun. Unfortunately, tons of fun usually equates to tons of food, at least with my family. Therefore, while I haven't weighed myself since returning home, I am fairly confident the the scale will not say what I want it to. Hopefully it won't be too far from what it was before we left. I'm going to give it a couple days, though. I don't know why - I guess I'm just not ready to face it yet. But I do have some pretty good goals for this new year, none of which start until tomorrow (because we've been on vacation and it's no fun to diet on vacation). I am fortunate enough to have a husband who is willing to change his diet with me, so at least I won't be alone. Should be an adventure -we are going vegan for this trimester. We did it once before, for three months, and it was easier than I thought it would be. It forces you to eat at home more often because good luck finding vegan food at most restaurants, and it serves as a pretty healthy cleanse (considering I am nursing, I needed a way cleanse without fasting). The last time we did this, I ended the three months about 30 lbs lighter, and pregnant (after having tried unsuccessfully for close to 4 years) - but considering I JUST had a baby 4 months ago, I am really hoping that doesn't happen this time (the pregnancy thing, not the 30 lbs lighter thing - I'm definitely hoping for that one).

Grandma weighs in

Thanks for the invite to the blog. I'm the person who wants to lose weight, bought the Lean Cusine, and is eating her way through the weekend. I seem to fluctuate about 3 pounds, from 198 to 201. This morning I was 200 . . . I am going to lose weight before I get to go to Europe in May, but I haven't gotten motivated to exercise and apparantly I'm not motivated to stick to a diet - yet. I am an emotional eater, and a bored eater. Right now I seem to haveboth issues in my life. I hope that by giving myself some accountability on this blog, you all will help me want to stick with a program. I really liked Weight Watchers and did well, but doing it by myself is no fun. So ladies make me have fun and be glad that I'm telling all to you.

Memorable Workout

So there I am at the Y this morning, being tortured by Cherie (Melanie knows), and with 8 minutes left in the class the fire alarm goes off. Thankfully I grabbed my coat on the way out since we ended up standing outside the back door for 10 minutes. And then, you're gonna be so proud of me, I went up and finished the workout even though half the people left because of time. And it was hard because my muscles had already cooled off so much. But I did it! Yay for me!

I'm just so glad I wasn't in the pool because they were all out front barefoot and shivering in the little Y towels.

Wednesday Weigh-in

Melanie brings up a good point. I should be thinking more about swimsuit season....because I never do, and then all of a sudden, there it is and it's too late to do anything about it. Okay, that said, I didn't work out this morning either, but that wasn't pure laziness, well, kind of, it was lack of sleep. I'm going to try and do something at home when Aile naps.

Holy commas batman!

I did weigh myself this morning and I am holding steady at 180. With only having worked out twice last week I am grateful for small favors. I've gotta get a hold of my partner and get her at it again too. There's nothing like the thought of someone waiting for you to get you going in the morning.

Not a weigh-in

Is anyone else having a hard time working out because of the snow? Or am I just lazy and blaming the snow? I worked out on Friday (thanks Cherie for killing my thighs), but not Saturday, and not Monday since we were suppossed to get a ton of snow. We did get some but not like I was thinking. I think ever since the one HUGE storm I keep expecting it to happen again, and I don't want to get stuck somewhere. Or maybe I'm just lazy. I did go work out this morning, snow or not.

I've also got to get back into the ab groove since I always did my 270 crunches a day at home. I haven't done any since the kids started winter break 3 weeks ago, and it's starting to show. And that is just laziness. Guess I'll go do them now...

Weigh in---super awesome!

I just weighed myself and the results were awesome.......143.

I don't know the last time I weighed this low.....probably high school (since my drivers license says 135).

But, before you get all huffy, I have to admit I cheated.

I threw up last night and haven't eaten more than 10 oz of food all day.

I just wanted to see the low numbers.

How sick is that?
