Sunday March, 13 - Didn't make it to the zoo yesterday, so today after church we went and had a picnic. Lots of fun. Day lights savings time is already exhausting me, thought I might go for a quick walk but think I will just take it easy tonight. Tomorrows going to be a busy day.
Monday March, 14 - Got my running around done and managed to squeeze in a good 55 minute workout at the gym. Tried out the stair stepper for the first time, that is brutal. Didn't seem to matter how slow I tried to go, I couldn't stay in the fat burning zone to save my life. Is stair climbing really that difficult? WOW. I also did this machine called a Total Body Crossramp. I love that machine!! Think its the easiest on my joints and still kicks tushie. Still want to try out the lap lanes at the pool, but I don't swim that great. Afraid I will totally embarrass myself, might try running in the lazy river sometime.
Tuesday March, 15 - Little is still sick, so I can't take her to the daycare at the gym. Will try and go for a bike ride or something later, legs still really sore from yesterday. Will have to take some Advil before I go. Only need to lose 4 pounds to get below 200 by the end of the month. I think I have a good shot at it. Very excited!! Debating wither or not I want to start doing P90X or if I want to wait until I hit my first weight loss plateau.
Instead of going for a bike ride, I found an opportunity to hit the gym. Spent 30 minutes on an incline machine doing the weight loss program. It was kinda fun, the incline changed every few seconds so I couldn't get used to a rhythm. I also did 30 minutes on the Crossramp, tried out the incline on it and felt like I got a pretty good work out.
Wednesday March, 16 - Little still sick, up most of the night. I am severely sleep deprived this morning. Don't know if I have it in me to workout today. Will try and pull it together and do something even if its just a workout video that I do here. I was standing in my kitchen this morning when I remembered this funny joke I heard somewhere. "Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like, "You know, sometimes I just forget to eat. Now I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name, and my keys. But I've never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat." LOL Don't know if it was the sleep deprivation or the fact that I almost forgot to grab a bit to eat but I laughed about it for awhile.
Thursday March, 17 - Exhausted! Need little to get over whatever this tummy bug is. Went to bed late last night, up early and missing a 2.5 hours in between is taking its toll. I know I should go work out, especially since I didn't make it to the gym or do a video yesterday. Having a cup of coffee this morning helped me to get some housework done. I would have another but im afraid that I won't be able to sleep tonight. Fingers crossed, that either "little" sleeps through the night and starts feeling better tomorrow or we get lab results back and can get some meds started.
Friday March, 18 - Nervous about weighing in tomorrow since I haven't worked out for a couple days this week. I feel like I have more control over what I eat now. Think it was Dr. Phil that said " Eat to Live, not Live to Eat." I was living to eat, I love cooking and eating. If I can make a heart clogging dish taste really good, I can learn to make a heart healthy dish taste good too.
Little slept better last night, so I feel better today. Waiting for hubby to get home so I can hit the gym for a few minutes before dinner. Tomorrow is my official weigh in, and I guess at this point I would be happy with a one pound weight loss. I can make up the weight loss difference in the next 13 days. Want to be at 199 by the 1st of next month. Thats just 4 pounds from where im at now. Sounds like a reasonable goal to me.
Saturday March, 19 - Weighed in at 201 lbs, not bad considering the craziness of my week. Praying that next week is better.
