I won! I won!

This super cool badge for my blog =)

I won last weeks Friends Make Fitness Fun Challenge!

This week I will not be doing much. My sons surgery went well and he is home sleeping. Thank you for all the prayers =)

I hope to keep my workouts up as soon as this week passes and be posting this badge to my blog some more!

Till Later!

Workout challenge

Yep twice in one day! and then seriously that will be it for a while =)

Sunday: 45 min walk/run.
Monday: totally forgot about the filed trip with my sons class so nada
Tuesday: 65min elliptical 20min weight routine
Wednesday: 65 min elliptical 20 min weight routine
Thursday: SPIN!!! 60 min (m ass still hurts), 40min walk/run
Friday: 65 min elliptical, 40 weights, 50 min walk/run

Total: 470 min.  This next week will be tough because of my sons surgery. I am hoping to go in an workout at night, but we will have to see. I will be workout today, and tomorrow, and maybe by Friday he will feel up to going to child watch so I will have maybe 4 days this week....but my goal is the week after to start workout out a min of 500 a week. After finals means i have hit that date where I said I would start doing the Jillian Michales 30day shred again...so it is just a week away. My son is actually the motivator now for my evening walk/run and always reminds me that we need to go. Today I might go twice. Maybe once this afternoon then again this evening just to get some more activity in and get some of his energy out. II feel pretty sure I have said this before, but pacing yourself with a almost 5 yr old on a bike is a serious workout.

Ok I am out!

New Start

Ok, so I am going to change my weigh ins to Thursday's I think.

But as of today I have put the past behind me and I am re-focused. Lets see what I can do in the next 4 days. Weighed in this morning at 221 =( its was like whipping the last 2 months away. Workouts are good so I just need to focus on the food. I have a new plan. Kind of like a planned meal plan. And I need to cut eating so much bread. Even though WW says I can I need to say I can't.

This will probably be me last post for the next couple weeks. I am going to take a break from the computer. I will post the workout challenge this week and that will probably be it. My son has surgery Tuesday and  have finals all next week then family in town. So...I will make it a long update in a few weeks.

Not to Fear

I think I sounded pretty desperate the other day so Not to Fear I will not be giving up =)

It is just a rough week I guess. I have made some changes. Switching up workouts, cutting out some things, adding others, and really hoping that in another few weeks  I see some changes. I am on week 9 and I prepaid for 12 weeks so I am at least going to give it till then. And probably another 4 after that since I don't know when it is up and it will probably auto renew.

I need to be more focused too. I think if I was being honest with myself, which I am just not "as honest" open on my blog, I am not staying as close to the points as I should be. I do great till dinner. It is really difficult to find things to cook for us all that are points friendly and most of all budget friendly.  So I just need to be more focused, I have just never struggled to loose weight quite like this.  I do have a thyroid issue (I know someone posted about that). But it is not so bad that I have to take meds, I could but once you start you can't get off and I really want to stav off taking them. I really think if I get even more focused and follow the plan to a T I will loose. It is not like I haven't lost anything, it is just taking an insane amount of time =/

On a side note I am up to 270 minutes for this weeks workout challenge with 2 days to go. At least I know I will hit my minimum goal for this week.

I just don't want to talk about it....

Things are just not going well. I am not sure this WW thing is for me. I get to eat normal I guess, but I am also NOT loosing weight. I am still at 218, I saw 216 on the scale a little over a week ago. When I weighed again this evening it was back up to 220 I mean WTF! That is like basically saying I haven't lost anything since I started WW! UGH! I am KILLING and I mean KILLING myself in the gym. I have upd my workouts to 1:30 this week and bringing back weights.

UGH

I am just to upset to post plus I have way to much homework to do. I have got to figure out dinner's for my fam. I may just have to feed them one thing and eat another. I still had 18points left for dinner tonight but still! UGHGHGHGHGHGGHGHGHGHG

Till Later

Which may really be pretty later. Like maybe a workout challenge post and then that will be it. My son has surgery and I have finals next week so I have a feeling I will be MIA.
Night ya'll

NO!!!

Shoot I have 3 whoops's today and it is only 2:30.

1) I totally forgot my son had a field trip today and therefor no gym this am. I am trying to get motivated to go now, but it isn't working very well...b/c of #2

2)Pretty sure I am getting sick! It just got cold 2 days ago! How can I be sick already! My noise is stuffed up and my chest feels heavy. Overall I feel ok, but crap! I have got to get to the gym I don't want to be sick!

3) The St. Jude half marathon is sold out =( my sisters and I were all going to run togther but guess it will have to be some other race.  SO we all just registered for the Turkey Trot lol. It is on Thanksgiving day and your run 4 miles while holding a turkey leg. Not quit the half marathon we all had hoped to do but it sounds like fun.

Weekly workout challenge, weight update, and Randomness

I'll start with this weeks workout challenge. If Pushing an actual push mower (not a self propelled one, and actual you must push or the mower won't go push mower) counts as a workout I complete 345 min this week! If not then I completed 295 minutes. I am still not meeting my min goal at the gym of 300 min. I should be at the gym for at least an hour a day 5 days a week. Ok it went like this:

Monday-60min elliptical
Tuesday-30 treadmill, 20 stair stepper (forgot how hard those are), 20 min walk/run w/ the kids. Have you ever tried to pace yourself with a 4 yr old on a bike? My kid is kicking my booty!
Wednesday- I had a dental apt, so nada at the gym but 20 min walk/run w/ the kids
Thursday-65 min elliptical, 20 min weight lifting, 50 min cutting the grass w/ an actual push mower
Friday-60 min elliptical

For next week I am shooting to hit at least 360 at the gym. I have looked over my calender there are no apts so I should at least be there for my min 60 min cardio a day, and my goal is to add weights to M/W/F and hopefully at least 3-4 walks w/ the kids and I really need to get to adding the leg lifts back into my everyday schedule. But for now I am shooting for a min of 360 next week

Weight update: Monday had me at 216 which means I was down a lb, but by Wednesday I was up to 219! and nothing had changed!!!! But it is that TOM so I am hoping that was the issue and decided I would go w/ Monday's weight of 216. I have not added it to my tracker yet though because I will wait till next week. I did however I add it to my WW online info and since I lost a lb I lost a point =( that was kind of a bummer. So anyway we will see what this Wednesday has to offer although I am not hoping for much as it will still not be the "best" weight in time for me.

Total Randomness, but I went to the store today because I wanted to buy a scale that kept track of my weight in smaller increments, thinking that is I could see even the once change maybe that would make me feel better. The cheapest one they had was $18 and although I can offed $18 I was sitting there in the aisle at target thinking, "I already have a scale that works fine, do I really want a new scale? or jeans are on sale this week for $19.99 do I want new Jeans?" I think it is clear to anyone reading this blog I of course bought new jeans. they are pretty snug.  I always wear a bigger size at target then anywhere else. The 18 fit when you buy them but they stretch so much that I bough the 16's because I know they will stretch and honestly I wouldn't have bought any as I would like to be a smaller size but it is cooling off and I have to have something to wear. So I have a pair of jeans lol.

Ok so if any of you are WW followers share your fav recipes! I am trying to figure out things I can eat and that my family can eat without the whole house being on a diet.

Ok well happy Sunday everyone!
