You're like Louann tiny..

was the compliment i got from sarah cannell today at the gym-i was STOKED! rock on! although your still smaller then me..that just made my day!!

i will revel in that compliment and reward myself with my usual friday western bacon cheeseburger combo-only this time im switching to lemonade instead of soda..oh crap i just remembered...jons dad is doing a diet too! so guess i'll be eating somewhere healthy DANGT!!!

Ugh

My computer is getting fixed so I haven't been able to keep up too well with this blog. Hopefully it will be done soon! I just wanted to let you in on a little something that I found. Hershey's has a 100 calorie bar. I bought a big thing at Costco and they have 2 to choose from in the box that I got. 1 is a chocolate covered wafer cookie (it reminds me of a kit kat) and the other is chocolate covered pretzel bars. They are both really good!

Those darn churros!

Guess what -i didnt succumb to the churro! OR the pizza that was SCREAMINGGGG my name and telling me "just one of me wont hurt-its the 5 extra's you eat that do!" i told myself..i just worked out-im only here at sams club to get what i need..then im OUT! i have a protein shake waiting for me at home and a tasty carb bar-which did not dissapoint!

DETERMINED!

So yesterday i hit the gym after 2 WEEKS that i took off (the LONGEST break ive taken so far!) -i brought becca into kids club only she DIDNT want to stay...rhghghg so i had to drive her CLEAR (3 minutes away) back home to hang with jon and i went back..
Today we did the routine again only AGAIN she didnt want to stay RHGHGHGHGH so drove her back home AGAIN to hang with jon..
Lets just say i've LEARNED my lesson and she wont be coming!!! Today was arms workout followed by cardio on the precor..ive started this new thing where i do it for 3 minutes then do it REALLY FAST (as fast as i can) for 1 minute then do it regular for 3 minutes and fast again for 1 minute..it helps to keep changing your heart up so its ALWAYS working..im pretty sure by just doing this i'll be in my size 4 jeans in NO TIME- KIDDING!!

Week 1...

I really supposedly started last week when my kids started school...I can't commit to exercise, I really just despise it too bad...So I was just going to eat better. I did so a few years ago and lost almost 40 lbs just by changing my eating habits. I went back to eating normally (which for me means whatever I want, and alot of it!)and maintained for a long time..Until May when I started on birth control pills...Stupid things! I have gained about 8 lbs since then...So this morning when I weighed, I had lost only .8 lbs...Not too surprised though...I had lost some inches though, I'm sure some of it has to do with how I measured, but I'll take it...So basically my plan is, try to be really good for lunch and dinner, then eat normally for dinner...It's worked before, hopefully it will work now...Do you guys have one food that is seriously so killer to you? Mine is pizza, I swear, I love it so much I could eat a whole one! Well, alright, I don't think I could eat a whole one...But it's the one food that I ALWAYS overeat with. I just can't help it! I just love it so much. Ugh. Stupid food, why can't we just eat what we want and stay a normal size? Really? Hope all of you girls are doing well!

Your LAST good meal...

So today (Sunday) will be your LAST good meal! I hope everyone is encouraged and excited to begin the next 4 months. This will be a place where everyone is welcome to post how they are doing-or how they are struggling and just need some motivation. It is also a place to add ANY tips or tricks you have! I will make it so that anyone can post on here (both posts and comments).

My trick is i eat the SAME thing for breakfast, a bowl of either oatmeal with splenda or cream of wheat with splenda. Also after my workout at the gym i shug a quick protein shake.

GRUB!
