Neglected

Well I've neglected my blog(s) for way too long! I've finally found my mojo once again to exercise through the summer. It feels really good too! I can't wait until I get to the thinner me that I already think I am. Here goes nothing!

I have been terrible about blogging lately. Life has just gotten so busy around here it's crazy! I have been doing ok at exercising and watching what I'm eating. I know there is always room for improvement. I need to get a scale to check my weight but my measurements show that I've lost another inch in my waistline and an inch around my hips! YAY! So that adds up to 5 1/5 inches lost! Woohoo!

Weigh in and Measurement time!

I've lost 3 pounds!!! Wahoo!!! Feels great to see progress. My  measurements are changing too!!

Waist- 33 1/2
Hips- 42
Right thigh- 24
Left thigh- 24

It's fun to look back and see my original measurements. I've lost 3 1/2 inches so far!! YAY!

I love to exercise!! It makes me feel great! I just wish that I was already the skinny girl I've been imagining! Why does it have to take so long to drop a few pounds?! It should be an automatic, you exercised today, there goes 1 pound! LOL I have noticed a small difference in how my clothes are fitting which is nice. Now to keep the ball rolling so I can wear my summer clothes comfortably is the key in all this!

I need to say that I'm really proud that I've been exercising lately. I feel so much better. I did take my measurements and I've lost one inch around my waist so I'm at a 34 now! Mind you I took my waist line higher and measured around my belly and not my actual waist line. That's where I need to see change! :) That's the only change in my measurements for now. But it's still a change!

I have an addiction......

to Whopper's Mini Eggs!! Heaven help me!

What a crazy last few days. But I did pretty good considering all the candy around here! I plan on taking my measurements tomorrow and I'm hoping to see a bit of progress. I've been really enjoying getting back to a healthier me. It feels good to exercise again! Blake has loved going on walks with me as well as exercising at the church building. (there's lots of kids to play with there!) I hope that this becomes a habit and that I don't give up when the weather turns cold for the winter later this year.....that seems to be my norm and I want to break it!! Any how, I feel good whether or not anything has changed measurement wise. And for right now, that's enough.

I had a good day yesterday. Ate within my calorie intake and went for a 30 minute walk.

Well, not a successful weekend in what I ate.....I could've done better. But it's a new week and we can always learn from our mistakes. I went to dinner on friday with some friends and gave in and had a coke. I had a terrible headache and the ibuprofen and water intake just wasn't kicking it. Saturday I didn't do too bad until dinner. We went to a bbq and I snacked a bit too much. But chips and salsa aren't the worst things to eat too much of right?! Sunday was cinnamon roll day with conference. Enough said there! LOL It wasn't a total bust and this next weekend with Easter may be a bit tougher with all the candy but we will do our best! I did however start my week off with a great workout at the church this morning and I'm drinking a protein shake to recover. Here's to another good week!

Yesterday I was so very sore!! I've started to go to our church and exercise with some ladies there. Boy they put on a good workout! I was really good yesterday at getting my water intake too. It sure feels good to get hydrated! I also went to my favorite zumba class with Dale. What an awesome workout last night was! I feel like this week has been very successful! I hope to get at least one walk in this weekend to keep consistent with how well I did this week. I also am hopeful to make good food choices this weekend and not ruin what I've earned!

Day 3

Yesterday was good and bad for me. Good because I exercised and bad because I exercised. Let me explain a bit. Good because the exercise made me feel fantastic! I even woke up feeling like a million bucks. The bad is it never fails, when I quit exercising and then start up again I always get a headache. Last night was awful!! I finally gave in and took something at about 1:30 in the morning. I drank water like you couldn't believe so I know it wasn't dehydration. The hubster says it's because you break capillaries in your head when you first start exercising and that's what causes the pain. That's enough to make me never quit exercising if the headache's are going to be like last nights! Anyway that's the good and bad of it. I made a green smoothie today and went for a 30 minute walk. I am definitely sore from yesterday's workout! I love that feeling. It makes me feel like all my hard work will actually pay off in the end. I also watched this video my sister suggested. You can watch it here. It's called "Hungry for a Change". It was really interesting and will make me think more about my food choices. AND after watching the video I have decided to give up soda. Like, for good! Man, it's going to be a hard change because I LOVE how it tastes and the burn as it goes down but it's really one of THEE worst things I could be drinking.

Day 2

I did it! I got up, got ready and exercised!! It feels good too. My goals today- drink plenty of water and keep track of what I eat on my fitness pal. I also took my measurements. I figure that's a better indicator of getting in shape than what the actual scale says.

Waist- 35"
Hips- 42 1/2"
Right thigh- 24 1/4"
Left thigh- 24 1/4"

I think I'll measure one month from now to track my progress. I'm excited to see the numbers change for the better!

Day 1

I've decided to blog about my journey to get healthy. I've been really down in the dumps about myself and the way I look. I've lost sight as to what is important and that it's not ok to eat myself happy. I need to do this reality check for myself. A way to check in besides doing the My Fitness Pal which is really helpful for me in tracking my exercise and my calorie intake. It's nice that it's private about your weight and what your calories are, but I feel like I need to be more accountable and honest with myself so I've decided to blog. I'm going to post my REAL weight, take pictures as I go, and type when I've had good and bad days as I make a go of it. It's no fun to be the 'fat' girl among your friends. I'd like to be the curvy, in shape girl instead! I realize that people don't consider me as being over weight and that I look fine. But when random strangers start asking you at the grocery store when your baby is due, enough is enough!! It's time to stop eating those cookies, sitting on the couch and get up and move!

According to my BMI I'm at 27.2 which is overweight for my height and body type. I weigh 168lbs and wear a size 12 in women's and a 13/14 in juniors. I would like to see myself in a size 10 and weigh 155lbs in a matter of months. Here goes nothing!
