The struggles of weightloss and baby making

So as many of you know I miscarried in Jan. Since then I've been working with my doctor to plan our next attempts at a child. Well we've been given the green light. I have to say that I tend to juggle too many things at once. Having to chart and pay attention to so many different signs is just getting to me.

I took a 2 hour nap today and was sooooo lazy. I couldn't help it. I am so worn out! I think I need to start eating a lot cleaner so that if I don't get to work out it's ok because if I need the rest I need it. I need to listen to my body a lot more. I'm sure others out there know what I'm talking about.

Well good luck to you all in balancing everything out...

New inspiration

So the weight loss challenge I'm doing with my step sis is coming to it's last month. I have to be honest. I haven't done as well as I should have. I've had to deal with a chemical imbalance in my body as well as weather ups and downs...

So today... No more excuses. I plan to do 20-30 min of intense circuit training. Tomorrow I'm going to the gym to do nothing but weights.

My new motivation isn't only this weight loss challenge but I might be going to FL for work in August and I want to comfortably fit in the seats. No Kevin Smith situation for me *crosses fingers*

Losing it! not weight... my mind!

So a few weeks ago my doctor put me on a hormone to regulate my body again. My body has been doing some really weird stuff since the miscarriage in Jan.

But glad to say that this week I've felt normal for the first time in forever. But the few days before that I was in utter pain. So I weighed in this morning and I'm not moving my tickers. I gained 3 lbs and I'm blaming the meds and the hurt for distracting me away from working out.

Tonight or tomorrow going to fill my house with good foods. Next week going to just go to the gym every night after work no matter what.. No aqua class because I am not going to wait for it to start. Just going to do some weight and circuit training.

I'm hoping that now I'm feeling good I can really push forward.

New pics posted

Not sure if anyone noticed but I posted a new main pic and progress on the side pic.

I seem to be holding steady 319-322 and am hoping to be able to break that soon.

It's all UPHILL from here!

So last night I was mega tired but still put on my running shoes. I decided if I could only get 15 mins in then it would be the hardest 15 mins of my life. So I found a street near my house that is completely up hill. I spent 10 mins fast walking up this hill. Then circled the block and went back home. My calves were burning for about an hour and yes I stretched.

Good to know that even when I don't feel like it I can tackle a hill and get something in quickly.

Free Comic Book Day,.... and I'm spent!

Man that was like a marathon! It was fun and frustrating all in the same day. We started out with a big breakfast and then went to stand in line for our comics. Once we got in there was a TON of peeps. We got threw it and came out victorious with out comics!



Then we went to BK for the Iron Man toys and then went home. I made my dad a big spaghetti dinner for his birthday and then all the kids settled down while we watched Iron Man. Poor Deagan's belly was sick when he woke up from his nap and poor kid chucked 3 times before his mommy could get here.

When I woke up this morning I am sore in places I didn't even know I used yesterday. WoW! Going to spend today relaxing because I have a strict work out week ahead of me.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend..

Plateu

Yes, This week I'm maintained. Which in most cases would be a great thing. But in my case... I'm in a competition COME ON!!!!

So this weekend is Free Comic Book Day weekend and we have started a tradition of taking all of our nephews and my niece to this joyous event. We will have them from this afternoon all the way until tomorrow night :) so excited... even though it's 6 kids it's a riot! I'll post a pic of the crew this weekend. Because of this I am going to take it a little lax this weekend. Not overdo it though but just not worry so much about everything.

Next week though... better watch out because it's a new week and a new determination! it'll be less then 2 months to go for final weigh in on this competition and I need to kill it!

Believing in Karma

Yesterday I was having a horrible day. Enough emotional exhaustion to make me take a nap at 7 o'clock at night.

Well today I woke up and was determined to be happy... determined to make this a better day. And so far it's been EXCELLENT!

Can't wait for this weekend when I have all my nephews and my niece to do free comic book day on Saturday and then the weekend after to watch Iron Man 2 and get some much needed work done around the back yard to make it a HOT ENTERTAINMENT SPOT!

New kicks.... new workout

So I found these new kicks at Sears on Saturday and guess what.... they were on Sale!!!

They say they are designed for running. Since I'm starting with quick walking/jogging I figured I would give them a try and then later if I get to where I am running I'll consider the next step up.

So this week I'm going to try to get out at least twice in the nice weather... and break these babies in!

Tonight.... indeed was a good good night!

So kiddies... I decided tonight because my co-worker told me I look like I'm melting... that I would try on the jeans and pants in my first closet that I have been awaiting to put back on for 2 years.

and guess what

THEY FIT!!!!

I came running out into the living room and about scared my husband I was screaming so loud. After a celebratory slap on the tush from him.. I decided that my weigh in tomorrow has got to be positive, it will! If nothing just because I can get into my jeans and really haven't had a good pair of jeans to wear for 2 years. I so want to cry I'm sooooo happy.

I'm not going to celebrate with food. Rather I am going to get a new pair of athletic shoes to motivate me to go jogging. :):):)
