Sorry it's been a while!

So I have gotten a little preoccupied with "Extreme Coupon-ing" and I haven't had time to write on here but Fear not! I am still alive and kicking and trying to loose this weight! I went on vacation with the hubs and kiddos and I am happy to report that I DID NOT gain any weight!!! Yeah Me~! However, I didn't loose any either!! UGH! But we did awesome! We all shared meals instead of each of us getting a big plate of something! It also helped us save some mula!! Lol! It really worked out for us!
Randy has really been trying to loose weight since his last apt at the Dr's office. He is fine, just needs to work on loosing a little weight! But hey, don't we all!?! So he has been doing the P90X like everyday! For about a week now and I have to say I see a big difference in him. Not only in his eight but in his moods. He maybe tired more but he just seems happier. I guess what they say is true about the endorphins and being happier when you work out! But he is doing great and I am so happy for him! I try to get out in the garage with him but I just can not keep up with him. He is on "body builder" mode and I am on "little old lady who runs out of breath just walking into the garage" mode! Don't laugh but it is true. I know, the more I do it, the better I'll get. But man that P90X ain't no joke! Oh well I like the yoga and stretching parts!! Haha! I am good at that! I did one of the biometric (I think that is what is called) and it killed me and my ankles!He was crazy with all the jumping around! I couldnt walk for like 2 days!!
But I have to get back on my schedule and eating! I'm going to try and make my meals plans for each day a week in advanced and plan out dinners also! This will also help me with my coupons and shopping!
I am also going to start tracking the calories I take in. That was really good for me! I was surprised how much it made you think about what you were going to eat! Not eating so much or I have to eat this instead of that type thing! I know it is a little time consuming but I liked it. So I'm gonna do that. I also moved all the exercise equipment and all my dvds into the garage so I have more room and can do it without Pepper trying to jump on the treadmill with me!
Well how is everyone else doing ??

I hope everyone had a great and Blessed Easter!

Lots of Love!

Quick Tip

Saw this on "Cook yourself thin" today.

Take your ideal weight and times it by 10
and that is the amount of calories you should be eating each day!
So my ideal weight is 150 times that by 10
and I get 1500 caloric intake each day!

Hope this helps! I am pleasantly surprised that I can eat that many calories a day!
I thought it was more like 1200 or so. So I think I can do this!

Just Dance!

OK so don't laugh but I think I have found the best workout! 

We bought the kids the Just Dance game for the Wii, and it is great! 

It has great music and it really is a workout! 

I have been doing it for the past 3 days and I have been sore for the past 3 days! 

I sweat and have fun at the same time. It really is a lot of fun! 

Megan and Randy get so competitive and we really get into it just to beat each others score! 

On the menu they have a section called just sweat. You can chose easy, medium or intense. 

The easy is one song a day, the medium is 3 songs a day and the intense is 6 songs a day. 

Man, let me tell you.....it works! Especially your upper body! WOW! 

So I am going to try an do this along with my Slim in 6 and my Biggest Loser workouts. 

I also want to start back up on the treadmill or try to get outside and run! 

It was such a pretty day today! I haven't weighed myself  this weekend. 

But I better have lost something with all this dancing! HAHA! 

Well, I hope you gals are doing OK! 

I know I haven't talked to most of you in a little while. 

But I am thinking of you all!

Let me know how you gals are doing.

I know Lisa you are training for you marathon!

Ruthie, I cant wait until you get here! I miss you and Maddie! I need my "Juilian" haha!

And for anyone else who is reading this...comment!!!

Well I am off to bed now! Lots of Love!!!

I did it!

 I am so excited! This was just the motivation I needed!
I weighed myself last night before bed and it said...193.6!!
I have been losing it lately. I want to lose this weight so bad.
But I am just exhausted...all the time!
So me and Randy went to GNC last night and I got some B-12 and a Women's vitamin supplement!
I don't know about the stuff he bought! But I took it last night and I didn't eat as much as I would have!
So that's good! This morning I came home from dropping the girls off and did my Slim-in-6 DVD workout!
30 minutes! It felt good. I am still sore from Sunday working out in the backyard.
I really had to push through the workout.
Well hopefully I can stick to it and lose another 10 by my birthday!
That would be 20 lbs!!

Hope you all are sticking  it too!!
Lots of Love!!

Had a lazy weekend but back on track!

So I did my Biggest loser workout all week last week. And man, it felt really great!
I didn't get a chance to do it Saturday or Sunday and i feel it!
I didn't to do anything Monday! I can totally feel the difference!!
But today i got up, did my workout, even ran for 30 minutes on the treadmill! I did 2.25 miles.
I wish I could burn more calories though. it said I only burned 105 calories.
I really should have gotten an elliptical machine instead.
But oh well, as long as i do my BL workout, I should be fine!!
Well, since I didn't work out all weekend I wont weigh myself until the end of this week. Friday!
Hopefully I am down a few more pounds! I have been drinking lots of water too!!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Happy Fat Tuesday!

Lots of Love!!!

I did it!!!

Ok so I bought that dvd and have been doing it for 3 days.
I weighed myself today and it said 199.4!!!
Did you hear me!!! 199.4!!!


Ok so have a great night!!
Lots of Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breakdown...Breakthrough!!!

OK so this past weekend was Randy's banquet for work. I really wanted to look nice so we went shopping. I think I must have gone to about 6 or 7 stores. Dots, Ross, Target, Maurice's, Dress Barn, Catherine's, Lane Bryant, and I cant even remember. Well I looked at every single item and of course nothing fit.Or I looked pregnant. I hated everything I tried on. At Dress Barn I started getting upset and sad. When I made it to Maurice's I finally lost it in the dressing room. I sat there on the floor half dressed crying. I swear for about 20 minutes. When Randy came to check on me I told him I wanted him to just get me out of here. I wanted to go home and get in bed a die.
I felt mad, frustrated, sick to my stomach, and horrified. I let this happen to myself. He felt so bad and really tried to comfort me. He said all the right things. But it didn't matter. I still felt awful. So he took me to Old Navy...he says "you always find something there". But I didn't want jeans and a t-shirt. I wanted something nice. He won Driver of the Year and I knew they were gonna take pictures and all so I wanted to look good, for him!! Anyways, I didn't find anything.
He took me home and I just went to bed. I didn't even cook dinner. Thankfully the girls knew something was wrong so they helped Randy make dinner! They are all so awesome! I slept for about 3 hours. I was just drained! Exhausted! I just told myself I would wear one of the 3 things I had in my closet.
So Saturday, we get up, get dressed, and left. We had to drop the kids off at my sisters but then headed to the hotel. I laid on the bed while Randy got dressed. I ended u wearing jeans! my flat boots, and a blouse I had bought the week before. It was nothing special. it was like a champagne color. And wore my little black sweater over that.
I felt ugly. I felt out of place. I felt under dressed. Everyone was in heels, nice skirts, and blouses, or slacks. I just wasn't feeling it!
But we had a good time. I drank a lot!!! Loosened me u a bit. So that was it!
Sunday we got up and picked up the kids and came home. Over lunch me and Randy talked with the kids and made a decision together. NO more!! We were gonna start eating right and exercising!
Monday I went shopping. Just to stay moving during the day! I did so much!
I did little things to the house that we had on the Honey do list that we had been putting off.
It felt good.
Then I made baked chicken for dinner with broccoli rice. It was so good! We also had a big salad. which was mostly spinach! The kids really liked it!
I bought the Biggest loser Last Chance Workout video. It says loose 30 lbs in 6 weeks. That is my goal. My birthday is in 6 weeks. And I would love to lose 30 lbs before then. Hell I'd be happy with 20!! So after dinner we cleaned the kitchen and then popped the dvd in! We all did it in the living room!
It hurt like hell but we did it!! And I felt good!
i even finished up the laundry and vacuumed the upstairs. Man I was on a roll.
I took a shower and passed out! I was so tired but proud of myself!!

I weighed myself last night and was 205.
My goal is to get down to 175. I would like to start there!
AGAIN!

Well it was definitely a breakdown...but definitely a breakthrough!
It sucks that I had to hit this rock but I am glad that I did!

Lots of Love!!!
