I love sweets, they're my weakness. Last night I couldn't turn down the temptation and I had me a small bowl of moose track ice cream. I regreted it afterwards. With being over weight, my chances of conceiving are slim, so I need to stay on track! Tonight temptation was thrown my way again, this time a brownie with cream cheese frosting. Oh how I wanted to say yes and take one little bite. However, one bite would lead to another, then before I know it, I would have ate the whole brownie. I will not let anything set me back. I stepped on the scale this morning, and I am down 5 pounds in 4 days! Can we say HELL YES! Tomorrow I will be taking my measurements, and I will not step back on the scales for another two weeks. Did rather well with the food today, I will be making a shopping list soon and getting a bunch of veggies, and fruits. Are you ready for today's daily workouts? I know you are I blew this out the water! I had to work off that stupid ice cream from last … [Read more...]

I Know I Can
All I can say is ouch. Everyday, I am going to push myself harder than the last, I cannot promise I will out do my day before, but I will always try. I woke up this morning, sore as could be, but I know the end reward is worth the aches and pains now. Today was pretty good when it comes to eating, I did have three cups of coffee, however, my food intake wasn't two bad. I had 5 small meals, and drank lots of water. Today I only had 7 x 16 ounces, but I am at least getting in my 10 x 8 ounces so that is a good thing.

Kettle Bells, My New Best Friend
In order for me to stay focused, I have to log what I do several different ways. It all has to be in front of my face, so I know to keep at it. This isn't a short term process, this is long term, this is something I will be doing for the rest of my life. However, in order for it to all sink in, and for me to keep at it right this moment, I have to log it all. I have a dry erase board in my room, on it we have my husband's name, my name, the exercises we are to do, and our goal number. Since we are just starting back into this again, our goals are rather low. My Daily Goals 50 Curls 100 Kettle Bell Swings 5 Miles on the Exercise Bike 50 Flys (I cannot do these until I get smaller weights, 10 pound weights are NOT going to work) 50 overhead presses So far I am doing pretty good at keeping up with my goals.
