Starting 12 week program tomorrow

Tomorrow is Day 1 of a 12 week program that I am beginning to follow. I am sooooo excited to get this started. I will fill you in on the details later. I am trying to get everything scheduled as far as this week with work, Kelsey's soccer, and life in general.

I went grocery shopping this evening and my WONDERFUL husband has made my chicken for the week. I love him so much!!! He is helping and supporting me through this process. I am so lucky to have him.

I will be posting daily.... trying to keep myself accountable. When I feel a little bit better about myself, I will post pictures of my starting pictures and monthly progress.

This is something that I have wanted to do for along time.... and I am doing it!!! Who knows what tomorrow brings, and I have struggled with trying to shape my body for the last two years without success. I know what I am supposed to do, but need a plan to follow.

I will keep you updated daily on my progress.

I'm Still Alive!!!

Hi All!!!

I'm back from Cancun and back to reality.... so that means I haven't had time to post for a few days.... or so. I have been reading blogs when I got the chance.

Had a great trip!! We had so much fun!!! The weather was absolutely beautiful. Couldn't ask for a better time!

This is a view from our room!!! What a view to wake up to every morning!!!

Got a funny story for ya!!!.... I did workout when I was gone..... everyday I did water aerobics in the swimming pool at 11:00am sharp...... two aerobics instructors..... MALE instructors...... Of course, I had to be in the front row so I could make sure I was doing everything right...... They gave us noodles that you use in pools to be our "weights"..... they were cut into 2ft sections.... you actually would do chest presses and shoulder exercises with the noodles..... the whole time you are working your arms, you are jumping back and forth from left to right foot..... I was hard at it..... jumping up as far as I could to get the most out of my workout..... UNO... DOS... TRES.... counting with them..... pumping those arms..... stretching tall..... jump, jump, jump..... remember now that I am in the front row..... right in front of the instructors..... all of a sudden, I felt a little "airy".... I slowly glanced down to do a top check.... you know..... make sure the girls were still in my bathing suit.... and low and behold..... my right bagonga was COMPLETELY OUT OF MY BATHING SUIT!!!.... both instructors just looked at each other and smiled!!!! One of them made a noise like OOOHah.... OOOhah!!! I think that was the most embarrassed I have been in my life!!! My husband said don't worry about it because I will never see them again!!!

Here they are.... Victor and Pato!!

Me and my honey!!


The Pool Bar!!! Is it Happy Hour? Strawberry Margarita!!!!!

The clear water!!!

And me by the pool!!

Back to reality!!! The dream is over!!! Will tell more stories later!!! What a week!!!

Did I mention that I leave for Cancun in 3 days?!?

Just wanted to do a quick update. Did I tell you guys that I leave for Cancun in 3 days? We will actually be driving to Columbus on Friday night to stay all night because our flight leaves at 6:15 am on Saturday morning. So needless to say.... this week has been CRAZY!!! I haven't gotten much workouts done within the last few days... been to stinkin' busy!!!

I actually had my family at our house on Sunday to make Easter dinner since I won't be home this coming weekend. It was soooo pretty!! Perfect day for an Easter Egg Hunt.

(Kelsey and my nephew Dakota)

Dewayne and Kelsey colored Easter Eggs on Friday to get ready for our "Easter Sunday".

And a picture of Chad and Kelsey on Easter Morning.

Just wanted to post a few pictures. Gotta go watch Biggest Loser!!! Tomorrow night is Zumba class again!!!

See ya later~~

ZUMBA tonight!!

Changed things up a bit tonight. Have spent the last two nights at the soccer field after work. Made good use of it though and did my cardio while I was there. Tonight started a new 6 week round of Zumba at our local Fitness Club. I did it back in the fall and totally loved it!! KICKED my butt!!! Well, I signed back up for a 6 week course... on Wednesday nights.... needless to say when I left the gym, I was totally soaked. Looked like a drowned dog!!!!

So.... if we hadn't had enought torture for the night.... me and a couple of the girls that goes to Zumba wanted to know if I wanted to go run the Quincy Hill steps (straight up 164 steps!!!) I said YES!! So we did that twice. Didn't think I would make it to the top the second time. My legs were shakin' all over.

So.... just got home a little bit ago, washed my stinkin' butt, have to start a couple loads of laundry and then start all over again in the morning!

Oh, did I tell you guys that I only have 9 more days until Cancun!!!!!

See ya~~

13 Days and Counting!!!

Did I mention that I have 13 days until we leave for Cancun!!! 13!!!! I have so much to do from now until then. I am going to fix Easter Dinner at my house this coming Sunday since we will actually be missing Easter while we are away. My little girl wanted us to go the week she is on Spring Break so she wouldn't have to worry about homework while we were gone.

My husband went back to work.... and let me tell you it has been an adjustment for me. I never realized how much he did around the house until he hasn't been here. He has been working 12 hr shifts.... 7 days a week. So last night he got home at 8pm and was in bed by 9pm. I miss him!!! I have been running around this house like a little wild woman trying to get everything done. Cleaning house, doing laundry, fixing meals, etc. He just always helped me before.

This week starts soccer.... with Dewayne not in the picture. Kelsey has been chosen to be on an "All Star" Team this year which means we will be doing some traveling on the weekends. So fun.... but wears you out. Also, they need her to play some on another team that is just a local TRI-C team. So this week's practice looks like this: Monday - Tri -C practice 6-8pm: Tuesday - All Star practice 6-8pm: Thursday - All Star practice 6-8pm. Get my drift!!! I'll be doing alot of my cardio this week at the soccer field. There is a road and a little track that I can walk on.

So that is about all for today. I tried to do some Cardio this morning... but called from the Dr. that I worked for that I had to go into the office and give an injection. (I work for an OB/Gyn and we do infertility and we have to work with the persons cycle as to when we go what) So alot of times, I have to go in on weekends to give injections or help Dr. do inseminations.

Well, I am going to go work my arms and then maybe get a little bit more cardio in. Until tomorrow......

Flying High!!!

Today was my day off!!! Had a good day overall. Started out my day by going to the Dr. for a follow up appointment. Then I had to run errands.... that is ALWAYS fun to do. It have to do everything on one day... since I work Monday thru Friday.

Come home and started cleaning on my windows outside the house. It was such a pretty day. I cleaned and cleaned and every time I would turn around, my dog had her nose up my butt!!! Literally!!!! I think she misses her mom while I am working, so she made up for it today!!!

Was just cleaning away, and I thought to myself that it was to pretty of a day to be cleaning all day... so I put my tennie boppers on and headed down the road. Walked 3 miles and it was so nice!!!! (Do you think I am slimming my butt cheeks down a little bit?)

I am FLYING HIGH!!!! I had ordered a couple tapes off of Jenny Hendershot... workouts to do at home. Well, I sent a note to her asking a couple of questions, and I am thinking that I would get a message back from one of her assistants. HOLY MOLY!!!! She e-mailed me back.... twice!! I was so tickled!! I just never expected that. So nice and told me if I had further questions, to just contact her.

Well, gotta go get jump in the shower. A new day starts at 5:00 am.

XOXO

20 Days until CANCUN!!!!

Hi~~

Great day today!! Weather was GREAT!!! Got up this morning and messed around the house. Kelsey had one of her friends over today.... so gave me a little "me" time. It was so beautiful outside... so I decided to take a walk up the road. Ended up walking 4 miles.... and I had to go up a steep hill. Great incline WO!! Talked to several cows as I was walking. Seen 3 squirrels, several horses, and you got it.... a Harley or two.

It was so nice to get out of the house though. Came home and started pulling weeds out of my flower garden that goes clear around the house. MY LORD my back is sore!! I knew if I pulled long enough, but husband would come and help me. Love his little heart.... here he came with the wheel barrow so he could help me pick up the weeds.

Going to get ready and work some shoulders, I guess. Husband is going to work his chest.... so I thought we could motivate each other. Dewayne finally goes back to work tomorrow. He has been laid off since Thanksgiving. So...... guess that means that I am losing my housekeeper and chef!! TOO BAD!!!

Only 20 days left until we leave. Better get my butt in gear!!! My husband has already dragged the suitcases out of storage. He must be getting excited!!!

Gotta run.... I here him in there pumping weights!!!
