Hump day!

Ahhh I haven't posted in a few days! I have been doing well though. Monday I took a day off from exercising. Half by accident and half by choice. I was exhausted so I needed that extra hour in the am for sleeping! I worked a twelve hour shift then so by the time I got home a little after Seven I was exhausted. Tuesday I did my regular routine of a two mile walk with Leslie Sansone. This morning I did ZUMBA :) went to the 5 am class at TAZ fitness. It was a lot of fun and boy did I get a workout! The moves can get tricky and I definitely don't have hips that move the way thy are supposed to lol. I would consider doing it again though.

Bottom line: I FEEL GREAT!

I don't look great yet and I am still very anxious to start seeing some result but I'm going to hang in there! This is my life style change. I want to be healthy and fit. I can do it!

The start of Week 2

I suppose I need to blog about the weekend.  I didn't do to awful bad.  I can truthfully say I didn't over-eat.  I cannot say I passed on all the desert and unhealthy things.  I did stick to moderation on them though.  I drank my required water both Saturday and Sunday.  And I exercised both mornings.  This morning I put some extra power behind it to try and make up for any extra calories I could have done without.

My goals for this week: keep up my water intake.  step up my exercises.  Get enough sleep!

Life is like exercise. The harder it is the stronger you become.

One Week

Saturday reveal.  Drum roll please! Weight: 199lbs!  Down six :) thats about a pound a day.
Pretty impressive I must say.

Day 6: So I didn't blog yesterday.  It was a good day.  got my exercises in first thing
in the morning and I drank my whole pitcher of tea!  It wasn't the best tasting stuff but
it was bearable.  I drank more than enough water not including the tea.  We went out for
dinner and I had a salad but did indulge in a piece of pizza that was needed :(  Maybe if
i wouldn't have I could have been down seven lbs!  No more of that.

Day 7:  Got out of bed at 5am on a Saturday.  Got my two mile walk in and had oatmeal and
fruits for breakfast.  I brewed some water with lemon, cucumber, ginger and tea leaves last
night.  I am working on my fourth glass of that already!  Heading to my momma's for my
brothers graduation party today.  I need to keep myself in check and think about everything
I put in my body today.

Day 5

How did I do today? Ok. The day didn't start to great. I got up late and wasn't able to exercise! Let me tell you, I felt HORRIBLE alllll day! I felt fat and bloated. I did get my exercise in however when I got home from work. The kids worked out along side me so it was pretty cute. Doing it with the kids around is not my favorite thing I do but it was worth it. I felt soooo much better after I was done! I got my eight plus glasses of water in for the day. It's getting much easier to drink more water. I still have a hard time getting a glass in me first thing in the am though. I do it but it makes me gag! I found a few great detox drink recipes to try out! My first brew is eight cups of brewed green tea one tangerine slice and a handful of mint leaves. I have it in the fridge for the night and I plan on drinking the whole pitcher tomorrow. It's supposed to be a great diuretic mix and antioxidant.

I do have to admit to sneaking a few bites of Jillian's pizza at dinner time :( OIP pizza is the best! I had a hard time passing it up. Other than that I think I do a fairly well job!

Day 4!

How did I do today? Excellent :) I again drank at least eight glasses of water and did a brisk two mile walk with Leslie Sansone! I am anxious to step on the scale this weekend and see if I have had any results!

How do I feel? Accomplished, anxious and frustrated! Accomplished because I CAN change my bad habits and get healthy! Anxious because I am afraid it's not paying off or I'm not doing enough. Frustrated because I want INSTANT results lol

I'm adding a goal of running a five k. Fall maybe? Something to work towards!

Day3 part 2

How did I do today?  Great!  I not only watched my portions and only ate until I was full but I ALSO walked a mile (walk off the pounds with Leslie Sansone) AND drank NINE glasses of water :)  I feel great! I still had to have my morning pick me up coffee and I rewarded myself with a beverage besides water.  I need to invest in some high protein snacks for during the day though.  I am still feeling a headache.  I am now Exhausted!

Day 3

Got up and walked away the pounds with Leslie Sansone this morning!  So glad I motivated myself to get out of bed!  Had two glasses of water this am already and I am feeling great!  Enjoying my quiet time before I have to wake the kiddos.

My goal for the day: drink EIGHT glasses of water!

My thinspiration this am :)  mmmm that looks delicious!
