Monday!
Hi !
I thought I would post a little bit about the plan I am going to be sticking with during the next 12 weeks. It is pretty much the same as before but with a few new ideas.
1. Aprox 1800 calories a day but I won't be counting. I am pretty good at knowing how many calories are in my food and how to balance everything. I am aiming for 6 meals a day. Breakfast (400),Snack (200),Lunch(400),Snack(200),Supper(400),Snack(200).......I am still nursing AND I will be working out 5x a week for about an hour each time so I think this is a good amount.
2.WATER.....I am REALLY and TRULY going to POUR the water down this time lol. I LOVE water and it is pretty much ALL I drink but I still just don't get enough.
3.I want to stick with the aerobics 3x a week and weight/resistance training 2x a week.About an hour each time. In our challenge I have 5 passes. That means I can skip 5 workouts for any reason I want in the next 12 weeks. That's IT unless something truly comes up that prevents me from exercising.
4. Treats......I am going to drink water,drink chia seed,brush my teeth and wait 5 minutes before I eat ANYTHING that is sweet and not planned. I want to REALLY be careful that I cut back on sweets and really THINK before I eat something.
5.SLEEP....I NEED to do better on sleep.
6. Weigh ONCE a week! Yes......Once a week on Thursday AM. This is going to be hard for me but I want to try it these 12 weeks and see if it makes a difference. I may change my mind on this one though.......:)
I just did an hour or Core Rythms.dancing. It felt GREAT!
Well,that's all for now!

Hello Everyone!
I really hope that I am back to blogging here for a while!!
I am starting a Biggest Loser Challenge with some friends for the 3rd time. I did NOT do as good in the last challenge as I should have/could have. In 12 weeks I only lost 9 lbs and 7 inches. Better than nothing? Yes.I could have done so much better though.
BUT I am thankful!! I am in BETTER shape than I was 12 weeks ago.
I am also happy because I never QUIT during the last 12 weeks or at ALL since I started this in January. It is taking a lot longer than I wanted to but this is a LIFE change and dh also said that he likes it that I am losing it slowly and working out/toning up as I go rather than losing really fast.
So here we go!!!!!
Thursday I weighed in at 194.8. I will be working hard to hopefully be DOWN some by next weigh in!

I am also going to keep track of what I actually EAT and try to eat LESS than what I have on the menu so I can bank some calories for NIGHT TIME. I am doing really bad at not eating at night.

Has it really been this long?
It just hit me as I was catching up on some things......
MY BLOG! lol
Sorry that I have not updated!
Today is weigh in day and I am 197. Last week I was 198 on weigh in but I was 197 the next day. After that my weight spiked and then started going down again, putting me at 197 again today. I am happy!
I am doing great on exercise! I got a little slack when we had company these last 2 weeks but I did GREAT overall!
I had one of my discouraging "It is going to take FOREVER to reach my goal weight." moments yesterday but I am out of that!
We are exercising 2 hours- 4 times a week. I THOUGHT the challenge I was in was a 10 week challenge and my goal was 10 hours a week for 10 weeks but THEN I realized that it was a 12 week challenge. We WERE going to take 2 different weeks completely OFF from exercise 2x throughout the challenge but we decided to take another day off per WEEK instead. Two hours of exercise a day gets OLD so in addition to taking SAT/SUN off we are taking WED off too. That gives us a nice break between exercise which will make us much more motivated when it is TIME to exercise.
Today we did Tae Bo EXPRESS for an hour and then did WATP for almost 5 miles. I feel great!!!!!
