I have found it!!! My motivation!!
I have FOUND IT!!!! My motivation!! WooHoo!!
I can not remember when it started, I guess about 2 weeks now! I have been doing sit ups like crazy. I sit on the bed and the boys or girls will sit on my knees and I do about 20 to 40 at a time then I take a break and a little later I do another set. I made a goal of about 300 per day! Man I am sore. But I am sticking to it and writing it all down so that I keep track of how many I do at a time and in a day. I starting this week doing squats! WOW! Killer! I mean it hurts when I move! But I am doing it when I find myself just standing or sitting around. Like when I am doing laundry or whatever! Last week, I went running at the school track while I waited on Marissa to finish up her drill practice. I have to wait about an hour so I thought I would make good use of my time! I ran 2 laps and walked on! I finished my last lap running in the ran! It felt good! Because I finished! Everyone on the track stopped and went to sit in their cars when it started raining but I stuck it out and finished strong! I was very proud of myself. Then on Saturday I talked myself into getting up early and going running and walking. I did 2 miles in about 30ish minutes. I think it was like 32 minutes. I had surgery on my left foot but that was not the foot that was giving me trouble. My right foot when numb after about a mile but I kept going! I was able to fight through another mile. I was really proud of that! Then we left for San Antonio for Randy's work banquet. I was able to still do my sit ups! It felt good! I even got Jacob and Pepper doing them with me! Sunday we went to the mall. Randy Marissa and Jacob went to the movies and Megan Pepper and I went shopping! I tried on a pair of pants and I bought a size 16! I have been avoiding shopping for almost a year because I knew I was not fitting into a 16 anymore! But I bought a size 16 pair of pants! I'm so excited! This week I have been staying busy. Monday I did my sit ups and cleaned the house! Tuesday I did my 20 minute work out dvd which focused on lower body! So lots of squats and sit ups and oh Lord, It was hard! Then I cleaned out my laundry room! My washer pooped out and I had to take that one out, clean the whole room, and then put the other washer in and then reorganize it! I got a good work out! I try and do several reps of sit ups and squats through out the day! I have been also drinking lots and lots of water! I have an amazing water bottle that I absolutely love! Its about 25 oz. ans I drink about 10 of those a day! I hadn't really been drinking my Diet green tea! Which I miss! SO I went and got me one yesterday and today! But only one a day then its back to water, water, water! I have to say that I am really proud that I have found my motivation! Oh Oh and to top it all off I tried on those new pants today that I just bought!! AND....they are too big! HA! I mean I can wear them but they hang! I just bought them and they are already a little big! It feels so good!
I haven't even weighed myself! I am kinda scared but I will do it for sure Friday morning! And I'll post it!
I am feeling good! My goal for the now is to just keep doing what I am doing and try to get out and run a little more than I have been.
And I am going to try and post more things on here daily!
Lots of Love and MOTIVATION!!!!

My first treadmill try after surgery.
Today I decided since the house was empty and I am feeling a little bit better (Allergies) that I would get on the treadmill and give it a try. And to my surprise I did great.
My foot had no pain, no tingling, no aching! I was able to walk, jog, and run for about 37ish minutes. I was so happy to see that I was able to do this.
I have been putting it off because I just didn't want to hurt my foot! My scar is healing nicely and I haven't had any problems with my foot. Every now and then it will ache when the weather changes but for the most part I am completely happy with the surgery!
Aside from my asthma after I finished my workout I am feeling really good!
Hope I can keep this up.
I haven't weighed myself in a while so I should go do that! I know I am still under 200. Last time I checked I was 197.
My husband, brother and sister in law have this bet going to see who can loose the most weight by the end of March. They will be visiting us again in March. It was really funny to see that my brother and I weigh the exact same and our waist is the same in inches!! He is like 9 years younger than me!! Too funny!
But we will see.
Randy and Megan have been doing P90X and Megan and Esther have been running and walking in the evenings. I am really proud that we all have been trying hard to exercise. Esther has even gotten Mom to go walking with her and Dad to get on his bike, once!
Well today was a good day!
Lots of Love!

Under 200
I am really excited and hope that I am able to keep this going.
I had surgery on my foot this past Tuesday and was on bed rest for about 4 days. Even thought I ate really good for those 4 days...I was able to lose about 6 lbs. I weighed myself Saturday night and I was 199!! I am very excited about this. I have been trying to get under 200 and with no luck!! But I guess having lots of rest and being taken care of was all I needed. I have to be careful and off my foot for about 6 weeks and the pain medication they gave me makes me a little nausea so I am eating just not a lot. I feel good though. And plan on starting doing some exercises for my arms and upper areas since walking or anything like that is out of the question. But I really want to keep all this going! Yeah!!

As soon as I got back from dropping the kids off I came back home...started up my workout video and got to it. Today I decided to try one that I haven't done before. It was the Yoga with weights. And I have to sat I LOVED it!!! I woke up this morning sore but I told myself that I was going to workout no matter what!!! I was able to do everything they did (although it was hard). I am even more sore than before but i feel good.
And I had a cobb salad with very little ranch! Yuck but I ate it! And of course my Diet Green Tea!!

Work out #1
Wow, i am feeling it. I just finished working out and my legs are killing me.
I hope I will be able to drive!
I did the 30 minute 30 Day shed from Julian Micheals!
Then I did the 10 minute abs! (which I didn't like..her moves were just too weird for me)
and then I finished it off with the 35 minute "Walk" thingy.
Man that lady walks my butt off. But I love it!
So that was 2 miles.
Then I finished with a snack...Wheat thins (my favorite) and Blue Ribbon summer sausage!
And sliced cucumbers. and a Nice tall glass of water!
Im good for today. I will be walking the dogs later this afternoon to finish off my day!
Yeah me!!

Start Over...Again!
Dad's retirement is on December 3rd. That means I have a little over 2 months to get in better shape. I haven't done what I set out to do at the beginning of the school year. Only because I have so much going on with the school and soccer and football and the girls stuff!!! I told Randy the other night that I don't have time to get a job!! With all the crazy things I have to do during the day I am swamped! But I am not complaining! I love being up at the school helping out in Pepper's class room! I love being the "Go-To" gal for soccer and football! I am Randy's Assistant! lol
But I have to lose this weight! I have put on about 10 lbs over summer and I can feel it! I feel awful! My clothes are getting tight and I am back to only wearing t-shirts and my yoga pants (which I never use FOR yoga)! I am getting miserable! And I hate that feeling! It sucks.
So I am going start up again and hit it hard this time. No excuses. I know we have heard this a few time this year from me and I hate being redundant!
So I am going to put together an plan!
Here it is!
5:00 Wake up
5:15 Wake kids up
5:30 2nd attempt to wake the kids up
5:45 3rd attempt to wake the kids up
6:00 Finally get the kids up
See what I have to put up with! They are totally NOT morning people!!!
6:30 Eat breakfast (cereal or oatmeal)
7:00 Try to be out the door by this time!!!
(lol I can laugh about it but this almost never happens!)
7:30 Walk the boys into their school.
8:00 Drop off Marissa at school
8:15 Drop Megan off at school
8:17 Get My Route 44 from Sonic!! Diet Green Tea!!!!!
8:30 Back at the house. I should go straight to the gym! Maybe!
But I have everything I need here at the house!!
8:45 Take the dogs for a little jog! (or walk)
9:00 30 minutes of cardio either treadmill or one of the dvd's.
9:30 eat a little snack Grapes and cheese with a handful of crackers.
9:45 emails I have lots of emails to send out and read through for different things.
10:45 coupons I really need to get back on this. I have been slacking for the past few weeks
and my coupons are a Hot mess right now! If I tackle it a little bit during the day I should stay on top of it!!
12:00 Take dogs for another little walk
12:30 EAT lunch! Since school I have forgotten to eat lunch almost everyday. I need to eat!!!
1:00 straighten up the house room by room! Just a quick walk through!
1:45 Go pick up Pepper! He gets out at 2
then I sit in the car and wait until...
2:45 pick up Jacob!
3:30 pick up Marissa (unless she has something after school!) The more waiting in the car until...
4:15 (the way she walks its more like 4:30) Pick up Megan (unless she has something after school).
Then we come home and get dinner and homework done. This dear Lord is like pulling teeth! But we get through it!
7:00 Showers for everyone!
8:00 bed time for all the kids! I love reading to the boys while they are all tucked into their beds!!
9:00-9:30 My bed time! I usually fall right to sleep because I have no more energy left!
So you see how my day is just UGH!!! Between 2 and 5pm I have NO energy. This sucks because I need patience and calmness and energy to keep up with these kids. They get outta school and go nuts, Fighting, yelling, it gets stressful! I almost always get a headache! I need to find someway to make this easier!
Well I will have to tweek this as needed but the afternoon is usually set because of the kids getting out of school. But I need to find someway for me to excersice between 2 and 5.
Once the boys start practice this week I will be able to walk around the track or help run some drills with the kids! lol! Fridays will be crazy cuz Megan has colorguard game at the football games and Saturdays are both boys games! Sunday is going to have to be recover days!!! Because Until the end of November we will be exhausted!!! LOL
Well I hope that everyone else is doing great! Let me know how things are going with ya'll.
Keep me motivated and accountable!
Lots of Love!
