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!!

Sore!!!
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!!
Day two off to a good start!
Whoo-Hoo!!!

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!

1st day of school!
I have been counting down the days until school starts this year.
I have been busy with the kids during the summer. Now that all four of my little ones are now in school I am going to have to find something to do with all this spare time.
I have thought about getting a job. Hmmm...Nah! Well I don't know Maybe! lol
But I do know that I really want to take this time to focus more on ME! I will have 5 hours during the day.
I can go to the gym. Go walking/running. Today me and Randy were laying in bed watching tv and the infomercial cam on for "Insanity". We watched the entire thing! We were talking about how miserable we were because we eat to much and were over weight and we really need to do something about it!
I told him I would order it but he told me know. He has what he needs to do it here with what we have. I could list at least 10 different dvd's and workout videos that we have and many more that a friend of mine has that we share!
Tae-Bo
P90X
Julian Michael's (at least 3 different ones)
Biggest Loser
Pilates
Slim in 6
Total Body workout
and the list goes on and on!
I just want to take this school year and do something productive.
To start the year off right I am excited to say that I am off to a good start. I have been off the sodas for a few months now. So that is awesome. I had a sip of a root beer the other day and it did not taste right!
I have no cravings for the soda! That's awesome and feels great. I have been drinking lots of water and my diet green tea! Yummy!
Well I am going to set up some kind of routine and I'll post it on here once I do.
I promise to track my doings daily.
Well I hope everyone is doing GREAT!
Lots of Love!!

WoooHooo!!!
OK so I have some great news. I have been trying not to weigh my self everyday or every week. And I have been doing good!
Today I did lots of walking while I was out shopping and when we got home I went up to change and decided....Hmmm...what the hell. So I got on the scale and BAM!!! 199.3 Oh yeah you heard me! 199.3! From 205 to 199! That's amazing! I feel great and it was just the motivation I needed to keep this whole New lifestyle going!!!
I really am very happy about this and just wanted to take a second to share!
I have a busy weekend and will not post another entry until Monday or Tuesday.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Lots of Love!

I am feeling great!
So far everything is going great! I haven't been working out like I "WANT" to but I am sticking to it!
And I have to say I am feeling pretty good!
Tuesday I called Emi and she went walking with me. We walked 2.33 miles and man I was feeling it yesterday.
It took us about 40 minutes to walk it but we zig zagged through out the neighborhood.
Uphill and then down hill. then up hill again! Geez, it really was killer but I am so glad that we went!
That morning me and Ruthie went dress shopping! So I was ecstatic! We went to Avenue and I tried on about 5 or 6 outfits. I tried on a 20 because I was just sure that that was going to be the size I needed.
But NOPE! Then I tried on an 18 and again NOPE! Haha! I tried on the 16 and it FIT!!
I mean I even had a little room to spare! I was so excited I was even doing my happy dance and song!
"I'm in a 16, I'm in a 16, I'm in a 16 HEY HEY, HEY HEY!!" LOL None of those dresses were what I was looking for. So we also went to Maurice's and they didn't have what I was looking for. So we went to Dress Barn. I actually found a dress that I love but they only had one dress, one size! Thankfully it was a 16. It fit but I am unsure of whether it is too casual for this banquet. Well I didn't buy it! I am going to wait until Friday to really go shopping! I know I shouldn't wait until the last minute but I would be me if I wasn't procrastinating something!!! lol
Because I was so sore yesterday I didn't work out. And Since I am taking Megan to the Dr in a little while then I wont be able to workout until tonight! I might go walking/running. Not sure yet.
I am so glad that this is really working for me. I mean it. I do not even crave a soda anymore. I am drinking lots and lots of water. I am watching how much I eat. So Who knows? This may be the start of something great!
Lots of Love!
