slackin...

I have been slacking a little too much lately and the scale has been showing it! I have gotten exercise in for the last 3 days and it does feel good! I went sledding with the kids Sunday at my parents and it was so much fun! I sledded down the hill twice but have walked up it 4 or 5 times! I had to go down and get kids back up! It was quite a workout for my legs pulling a 40 pound child up a snow covered hill!! We were out for about an hour I think and the kids had a blast. They both fell asleep on the way home, of course!! I had pilates class last night and it was so hard! She keeps throwing in new, harder moves!!! But I love it! I can't wait until Thursday! We go to his parent's house on Christmas Eve and open presents. I can't wait to see if I will get P90X!! If I don't, then I may just have to use my Christmas money and buy it!! Well, I have to get some exercise in today, so I may get on my Wii Fit Plus. The kids love watching me play it!

back on the exercise wagon

My legs hurt! I did an hour on my Wii Fit Plus and burned 325 calories! I know it doesn't seem like much and I didn't sweat, but I was getting hot! But I was moving around! I did the free run twice (you just run in place) because I had to follow a cat on the run. The kids thought that funny. I managed to do a few yoga and strength moves too, along with all the games. But of course, when you are doing the games you are moving. If you want your Mii to jump, you are really just doing a squat and standing up fast, but not jumping off of the balance board. So, you are exercising and may not even realize it. I like the hula hoop and advance step.

I haven't been eating to well today, it's the snacking. I had a pretty good lunch, salad with chicken and a little piece of pizza...but also had too many snacks already today! I will do good with dinner. My sis and I are going shopping tonight. I should be able to finish my christmas shopping tonight!!! So happy about that! I made a calendar on snapfish for my in-laws. Except instead of just on calendar like I did last year, I made them each a small desk flip calendar they can each take to work with them. My mother-in-law took it to work with her this year and that f-i-l wasn't too happy!! Now they will each have their own, mainly because I got one free! Thank you Racheal Ray!!! :) I have so much going on this weekend!! It's going to be crazy!!

its sooo cold!!

I cannot believe how cold and windy it is out and that my hubby and bro in law are out hunting in it! I know there are only 3 days left to hunt, but this is crazy! They are crazy!! Oh well, but my hubby got a doe this past Saturday and I love all that meat (lean meat!!) in my freezer! So, I can't complain! This is the first deer my hubby got in 4 years! My pappy got 2 this year and my dad got 1. My bro in law just has to get one and then all the hunters will have gotten a deer this season!!

Anyway, I haven't had a good workout in days. I am so not motivated in the mornings this week because I've been getting to bed late this week mostly because of the kids and last night because of the hubby! I haven't had a good workout since Thanksgiving, except for my pilates class Monday nights. It got me off track and I haven't been able to get back on track yet. We are going to my parent's tonight and maybe I will get on the treadmill for a little bit. They aren't using it!! I will do the Wii Fit today here after Dora is over. That will get me going a little bit. It's the holiday season and I soooo want to bake cookies, but resisting the baking bug! It's because if I make it, I will eat it..and the kids. The hubby won't eat it....except for chocolate chip cookies!! I promised the kids I teach on Sunday at church I would bring them a treat this week and I have my Pampered Chef Holiday Brunch saturday morning that I have to make something for...so that should quiet my baking bug for a little while!! I should be a baker, that way I can bake everything that I want and don't have to eat any of it!! Started a new diet this week and I have a weigh in tomorrow, so we will see how it's going. I have cheated a little bit here and there and need to stop! It's breads and sweets! It is really hard to give them up! I am trying so hard and am sure I will feel better once I get the sugar out of my system. I know what it does to your system and it really isn't pretty! Ok...this has been pretty long! :)

oh happy day!

OK, so pilates class last night kicked my butt....but I love it! Today was the end of my Fit for the Fall Competition and I weighed in at 240.2!!! I thought my scale was stuck at 242!! So, during this competition I have lost 14 pounds and so happy with myself!! The best part is that I have kept it off!! I usually give up and regain everything that I lose, but not this time!! This time it will keep it all off! I am going to be spending most of the day today quilting...I have to finish the one on my frame....it's been there too long!!! But I should be able to fit in a small workout later today. I am soooo happy!!! I just have to stick to my diet and not cheat! I am trying to get the sugar out of my system again. It is so hard and I am grumpy for a few days when I do it, but I usually do feel better once the withdrawal is over!! lol My next weigh in for my other competition is Friday and I hope to be down to at least 239! I cannot wait to be out of the 40s! My goal is to be out of the 200s by March!! I know 40 pounds in 3 months is a bit aggressive, but I'm in a wedding in August and I don't want to be the 'fat' bridesmaid!! You know there is always one!!

sunday

It has been a week since I last posted and I have been lacking. I worked out three times this week I think. I know I have to get back in the groove of things, but so much has been going on lately that I am just too tired to do my exercising in the morning. If I don't exercise in the morning, I don't get it in. I have pilates class tomorrow night, so I know I will be exercising tomorrow. I am going to get back into the groove tomorrow morning. I really want to go to my parent's house and use their treadmill a few times a week. I have to get moving again and get my weight loss going again. I've lost 12 pounds so far and have stalled. I keep gaining and losing about the same 2 or 3 pounds. I copied the diet the doctor gave my dad and on it you are supposed to lose 50 pounds in 2 1/2 months....so we will see how this goes. It's mainly protein and veggies. I am going to start it tomorrow, so we will see how it goes. I can't cheat on it!! I'm such a sugar addict!!! It's horrible, I know!! I have decided not to bake cookies this holiday...or pretty much anything! I know if it is in the house that I will eat it and I really don't want to gain any weight this holiday season. I want to lose it! I really hope I get the P90X system for Christmas! I really don't know what I will do if I get it! I will be so happy! If I don't get it, I may be spending my Christmas money one it. We will see. I really don't want anything else except for that and some weights. Tomorrow is a new day!! :)
