Hello to whoever is still reading this! lol (Atleast Brandy I know! )
I did great this week.......
On Wednesday I did the cardio kickboxing workout.....The one that used to just about kill me,heart racing and sweating like mad? The one that we only ever did the first 3-10 minute sessions? And on top of that we took a break between each one?
Well.....We breezed right through the entire thing.......ALL 5 sessions without ANY breaks! It even has weight lifting at the end and I did it with 5 lb weights.I was SO surprised and excited to see my strength difference!I guess after the 30 day Shred and Insane Abs most any workout would seem easy roflol.
It WAS still a great workout though.....
Thursday my Grandpa came over and we had a long talk and I missed exercise so today,instead of Zumba,we did Billy Blanks Insane Abs again! We JUST got done and boy does it feel great.I had to take a few breaks and I can't quite do all of the floor stuff but I can DEFINITELY tell a difference in myself!
I juiced all week until noon UNTIL today lol.I am packing the juicer away.No reason.......Just tired of it.Incase you have not figured it out yet.....I get bored quick! lol I think I will go on a 10 day juice fast sometime this summer when I muster up the courage AND there is alot of fresh produce....:)
I am just going to go back to normal eating.....Being super careful of my diet.My birthday is Thursday.....I would LOVE to be at 209-210 by then......I am going to try SO hard!!! It would be SUCH an excellent present for myself! I just NEED to get in the ONE HUNDREDS!!! I can just TASTE it! lol When I get to 199 I will have lost 31 lbs.....That is such a success if you think about it! Even though I have alot more to lose than that it would still be wonderful!!!!!

Tuesday and I am back!
After having friends here for a while I am back in business.I did not lose any weight while they were here but I did not gain any either so thats good! Brandy and I did exercise several times too so that was nice.I juiced and ate pretty good for the most part!
Now though I am ready to put even MORE effort into this! I am kind of stuck at 211 and that needs to end! I am ready to get to my 2nd goal and THEN be beneath 200 once and for ALL!!!! Only 7 more lbs until my 2nd goal is reached......
So.......My game plan for the next few weeks.Not that I am changing my plan.......Just tweaking and giving myself some variety.
I am going to continue juicing until 12:00 every day.Lunch will be whatever we are having but I am going to make it my heaviest meal of the day.Supper I will eat a large salad and a small portion of what everyone else is having.I want to keep it light after 5:00 along with lots of water and hopefully lots of activity now that gardening season is here! :):):)
I will have a small portion of dessert most evenings.
Lots of water.......!
Exercise......I got Billy Blanks INSANE ABS and it is a KILLER! I am looking forward to doing it 2x a week.All of the below workouts are aprox 1 hour each.
Monday-WATP 5 fast miles
Tuesday-Insane Abs
Wednesday-10 Minute Solution-Kick boxing
Thursday-Insane Abs
Friday-Zumba
How is everyone????? I am super excited that being underneath 200 seems SO close to me!!! Whats a measly 11 lbs?????

I know....It's been a while!
Sorry!
I am happy to report though that I am still doing great! Definitely NOT slowing down/losing motivation or giving up etc.
Brandy and her family were here and that was a blast.I did eat more treats than usual and my weight did go up a few lbs as it usually does after the weekend BUT it was down again by yesterday and today it is down even lower. I am ALMOST to the next number! lol THAT'S exciting! Especially because I have not been exercising! I took the week off last week because of spring cleaning and this week well,I did the Shred on Monday and that's it.AFTER I did it my upper leg started hurting again.I hadn't posted about it but it has been hurting ever since I started the Shred.When I stopped exercising it finally started going away but when I started again,it came back full throttle.That combined with the shin splints that I had from the jumping etc. I decided to stop the Shred until I lose some more weight and don't have such stress on my joints when I do high impact exercises.
I DID do other exercises this week! I loaded and unloaded (moving big piles) LOTS of firewood with the boys and dh.Like 4 BIG manure spreaders, heaping full of wood.GREAT ab exercise!
I have eaten pretty good this week and I know you won't believe it but I REALLY AM going to juice again for the next 2 weeks lol.
After stopping and starting several times I am finally POSITIVE that Titus does his little noise that he makes when he is tired and *because* he is tired.It is just a Titus thing lol.I want to give my weight loss another kick in the rear and juicing does that in several ways.
1.It cuts calories.
2.It gives me an extra boost of nutrients.
3.It causes me to drink more water because I chase every swallow of juice down with lots of water lol.
4.It majorly decreases my appetite when I DO eat.
5.It allows me to have more treats and still lose weight and since Brandy and her family are going to be here for 10 days I want to be able to be more liberal with my eating and STILL LOSE!
So I will start Sunday.I will be shopping on SAT.I will juice like I did before.Nothing but juice until noon.
EXERCISE
Back at it! I am going to be doing alot of walking while Brandy is here.We have lots of WATP DVDs between the 2 of us and we have fun doing them together and with the children.
After she goes home I will get back into some dancing/tae bo and alot of strength stuff.
I am REALLY HOPING TO BE DOWN to 210 within the next couple of days!!!! I am 212 right now.
I just walked 5 miles! It felt great!!!!
So that's my update!

I don't have long.I just want to say that I am here and doing great! I was still at my all time LOW weight yesterday! EVEN after a weekend!! That NEVER happens! Usually I am up a little and it takes until Tue/Wed to be back down but yesterday I was at 214.4!! I am very excited about that! We will see what the scales say on THUR but I would be SO happy if they were at 212-213!

This morning I am feeling.......
Hungry and depressed at how far I have to go! I DO NOT FEEL LIKE DOING THE SHRED EITHER!
What I would like to do is kick back,do no work today,make some hot chocolate and cookies and NOT exercise!
Don't worry,I am not tempted to quit or anything.I am just disgusted at how much fat I have on my body! Taking a bath this morning didn't help much.I had too good of a view of my belly and thighs.*sigh*
Today is cleaning day and tonight is family night.I want to be able to relax when Scott gets home and then be able to have hm pizza and a dessert tonight without feeling guilty about it.
I will go make my juice.(Even though I would love to eat oats with brown sugar and butter.)
I will start cleaning.(Even though I would love to sit around or go back to bed.)
I will do the SHRED.(Even though I DREAD THE THOUGHT.)
I will make sure I drink plenty of water today.(Even though I am not feeling motivated right now.)
I will drink my green tea.(I REALLY want to do better at tea.)
I will try to think positively and think of how far I've come.
How is everyone else?

Thursday
30 Day Shred-Level 2-Day 2
I thought I might die.Anyhow,I kept it up and I am so glad! For those of you who know anything about the shred,those things where you get in the plank position and jump forward? I do those one leg at a time.They KILL me.I jump forward SOME but then I switch to one leg.I can't say that I CAN'T do them but I am choosing not to for now.The plank position jumping jacks absolutely kill me too.What is the other one that kills me??? The ones that are kind of like the dumbell rows in level 1? But you pull the weights out instead? KILLER!!!!! It was torture.......The 5 lb weights I am using make it alot harder I am sure.
Anyhow.......So glad to be done.Tonight we will be hauling firewood again too so that will be more of a workout.
Weigh in today...........I am DOWN!
215! That is officially 15 lbs lost.I am so happy!!! I sure had to work my tail off for it but it is WORTH IT!! Imagine if I had NOT done the work? I would be 6 months postpartum and still 15 lbs heavier and MUCH MORE out of shape.Most importantly I would be feeling MISERABLE,wanting to get into shape so bad/lose weight etc.
I feel GREAT! I know I am doing a great job.Practicing self control,praying to the Lord for strength.I am getting stronger,more fit and the weight is coming off........Even though it is coming off slowly.
I would rather lose it slower and get FIT while I lose then lose fast and be skinny/frail with saggy skin.
My dh does not like frail women.He likes me FIT and strong.
Well,I am off to check up on all of you!
