This week has been very frustrating to me. Im eating right, but I have let stress and people keep me out of where I need to be. And thats at the gym. I hate to admit it but there are some people in my life that are dragging me down, and its time to cut some ties. I am never gonna be the best me I can be if I keep them around. With cutting them out I will eliminate other things that I know are also not good for me. So all in all I know what needs to be done and now just have to do it. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Sometimes things are just so frustrating. I wanna make this change. I am making this change. I can make this change.. the skinny girl inside of me tells me so!

Tommorrow is weigh in day 3! Hopin for at least 4 lbs. Hell…. even 2 would make me happy. I figure if I lose at least 2 lbs a week for a year thats over 100 lbs. So we shall see!

Ok so tommorrow I am getting back into the swing of things. This weekend I desided to forgo the gym. I still ate and drank healthy so I think I am ok. I just wanted to give my body a rest. Its becoming easier for me to make the healthy choices in my eating habits. Guess my body is getting used to it. I hope takin the 2 days off from the gym didnt hurt me too much. I guess we will see on Wed. Back to water aerobics in the morning. I hope you all have an awesome week!

So, today is wednesday and you know what that means! Weigh day!!!! So I weighed before water aerobics this morning, the scale said 324. Thats 3 lbs less than last week and Im sure it is a few more cause I am so bloated its unreal! But Ill take the 3! Its better than nothing at all!. Had a chicken breast with ranchero for lunch since I went back to work today, and what a joy it was. I hope you all are having a great week and are livin life to the fullest!

Love you all!

Ok so I was bad today! No gym… but i ate and drank healthy! I just felt so cramppy and tired from last night with my man…. i know excuses excuses…..dang… I am so disappointed in myself. But on the other hand I did burn off several hundred calories last night..hehehe! Ok so, weigh in is tommorrow… lets see if I lost anything with all this bloating I have going on.. Im aiming for 5lbs and I will be happy!

And ps… Rick noticed the weight I had lost! Ya for good boyfriends who know what you need to hear! Love you babe!

Today is Monday! Like you didnt already know! lol I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and stayed far away from the candy baskets! I did! Went to church with the family then cooked up some shrimp creole and grubed….but only a small portion! I even hit the gym for a light workout. All in all a great day.

So this morning it was a tough Monday to get movin. I don’t know why, it just was. I guess since I have been putting my body through some major changes lately….no sodas, no candy, no chips, no fast food, no couch time(lol)…. that my female time is all jacked up, as in like 3 weeks late.  So I feel all bloaty.. wonder how this is going to affect my weigh in on Wednesday. But I got movin and made it to water aerobics. And boy was I glad. We worked our hineys off today! And I just bought this book, an older book from a used book store!, and it says that you burn10 calories a minute doing water aerobics. So an hour is 600 calories! Hell ya! Know wonder I am always hungry when I get out! LOL!!

Tommorrow will be a treadmill day! I figure water aerobics 3 times a week , and treadmill and bike 3 times a week with 1 day of just like outdoor activity is going to be my routine. Well, I hope you all have a great evening, the weather is great so go for a walk in the neighborhood!

oh……GO ASTROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yesterday I did water aerobics in the morning and then went to work. Then the day got bad cause I got suspended:( boo to idiots! But thats ok. I got to come home and spend the day with the boys. Well mostly Dakota cause Riley was playin XBOX and Im not to good at that! lol! So Dakota and I decided to walk to the park that is about 8 blocks from the house and swing. I have to say it felt great! Dakota kept asking me if I needed to stop and rest, cause before 2 weeks ago, that walk would have killed me! I kept tellin him no and on the way home, he was like “Mom, Im so proud of you. You are doing a great job!” What a sweet kid he is. Things like that just make me know Im doin the right thing.

So I decided since im taking a “vacation” that I would have a couple drinks… but what to drink when you are dieting? No beer thats for sure, and I have not had a coke in almost 2 weeks so didnt wanna ruin that either…so..hhhhmmmmm? Mell, my fav bartender extrodinare made me an awesome drink…. vodka and tea. It was great and I didnt ruin all my hard work! YA!!!!!!! I can do this! haha!

So I think today I will not go to the gym, but instead walk to strawberry park and one around the track and walk back. That will be 2 miles! Its such a pretty day. So , I hope you get out and enjoy this weather!  I know I will.

“This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.”

You know that feeling you get when you are leavin the gym.. like you just busted your but and you feel great like you could do anything… I love that feeling! I just left the gym…burned 500 calories today! YA! I am now eating my breakfast..2 scrambled eggs on wheat toast with cheese and ham. I didnt have time to eat breakfast yesterday morning and I felt awful. So I guess breakfast is important..who knew? lol!

I was just thinking about Easter this sunday. I know this is totally off subject… but I am so blessed to have a God that went through so much for me and even after they killed him he came back to prove he is the one! I just wanted to share that. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I will rise when He calls my name…….

Today is my first weigh in since I started this journey last Wednesday. So I was nervous and excited both to get on the scale. If you remember back…My start weight was 338 lbs. After a week of excersising, no cokes, and eating healthy… my current weight in 327lbs! Thats 11lbs folks! Praise the Lord. Now I know everyweek wont be as much cause this was the first… but this gives me hope and lets me know Im doing something right!

This mornings workout consisted of 4 miles on the bike and 1 hour of water aerobics! Gotta love me some water aerobics. Chicken breat with ranchero sauce for lunch with a little rice and frioles ala charra! Yum! Now of to do the mom thing.

Hope your day is as great as mine!

So, after much thought and research, and friends advice. I have decided to not take pills. I have decided that I am going to continue wuth what I am doing and make this a life change, not just a diet! For those of you that have choosen to take the pills, please do not feel like I am saying anything bad about you. I Just feel like if I wanna get healthy then I need to steer clear of the pills.

So this morning I was back in the gym, bike for 4 miles and treadmill for 2. Took it a little easy on the treadmill today since I did the 4 miles on the bike first. I feel so good these days. Ya, I  find myself tired at times and wanting to just pull into Taco Bell and order me some food… but I stay strong. How am I gonna be an inspiration to anyone else if I cant be strong. Amazing how much this blog helps me. Its like I have to report and Ill be danged if I report something bad! lol! I am so excited for tommorrow! WEIGH IN DAY!!!!!! I hope this past week has been worth it. I know it has. Ok cyber peeps…. gotta shower and head to work…. Cya!

After a long and exhausting day I am home! Praise the Lord. This morning I did 3 miles on the bike and attended a water aerobics class! Who knew it would kick my behind! LOL!!! I had a good friend go with me and we had a blast while our butts were kicked! Man the old ladies in the class showed us up! haha! But we are going to take the classs mon, wed, and fri. It will help alot. Still have not had a coke! And its getting so much easier. I ate some enchiladas for lunch… chicken with corn tortilla and ranchero sauce. It was good. And somewhat healthy.   We are eating baked porkchops with bbq sauce for dinner. I love me some pork chops! Well I guess I will end this tonight cause my boys wanna kill each other! LOL! Tommorrow morning I will be reunited with my treadmill! Till the skinny happens…. you will find me here!

Love to my peeps!
