Day 10!!!

I'm on FIRE!!!!

Stopped by the gym this evening and did my leg workout and 45 minute cardio!!! I felt sooooo much energy after working out. Sweat was rolling everywhere!!! I am feeling so much more energy and confidence!!! The more workouts I do.... the stronger I get.

Also, weight went down 3 pounds the first week!! WOOOHOOO!!!

I have realized that I am going to have to start getting up in the morning to do my cardio. Doing it all in the evening is too much time to be spending in the gym.

We see how tomorrow morning goes. Hopefully I'll have enough energy to get it done!!!

Well keep updating!!!

Wednesday - Day 3 of 84

Started off a not so good day. The alarm went off this morning at 5:00am when my husband got up to go to work. Evidently, I was sleeping too sound and didn't hear my alarm, or I turned it off. Anyways, I did not get up to do my cardio. I was mad at myself with it being day 3 of my program.

Instead of getting bummed, I knew that I have several more days this week to get my 5 days of cardio in. So I put my head up and stuck to my program today. Eats on..... water on..... did my shoulder/chest workout this evening and I will get up and do my cardio in the am. (At 5:00 am I must add)

Why am I doing this? Because I want to better myself. Because I want to feel good about myself. I want to feel sexy for my husband. I want to set a good example for my children. I want them to live a good, healthy lifestyle and that starts with showing them a good example. My daughter plays soccer and one of the trainers at our gym talked to her this evening about being the best that you can be. There will always be someone that is better than you, and you need to set your goals high to be your best. Yes, she is a GREAT soccer player, but she can always get faster or better. She is 13 years old, so right now she sees practice as "Boring", but I think she seen a different side of it when he was talking to her this evening. She realizes now that she has to practice to continually get better and better.

I will continue to push forward with my goals. I know that I can do this. Yes, it is going to take dedication and yes I am going to have to pass on that Mexican nachos, but I will come out on top.

Gotta go get my rest so I will be ready to hit it in the morning!!

Day 2 of 84

Well..... I made it through day #2. I felt good this morning, but by this afternoon I had to hang on to the toilet seat to set down. OH MY LANDS!!! I knew that I worked legs hard, but I had no clue that I would be this sore. I might have to slide down the banister in the morning to go to work.

Eats have been 100% clean. I feel so good about that. This first week I know has got to be hard to get used to.... so I am glad that I have stuck with it.

I am tired this evening, so I hope to get to bed early.

I'll keep you updated.

Day 1 of 84

I made it!!!!!! I started my training program today and I survived!!! I did my 45 cardio program earlier this morning because I was off work today. Then this evening was LEGS!! I must say that I struggled during my last couple sets, sometimes not making it the total number of reps that I was supposed to.... but I pushed myself over and beyond the limits!!

I feel on top of the world now!!! I know that I have not been pushing myself to my potential with what I have been doing the last 4 months in the gym. I'm anxious to see how my body changes throughout this process.

Nutrition was also good today. Had a little trouble this am with my oatmeal, but that will work itself out. I got all of my water intake in already. It is almost 8:00pm and I didn't want to be up all night tonight running to the potty.

Don't have much time to write tonight. Got to get some other things accomplished before I head to bed. That is one thing that I NEED to work on. Gently plenty of rest. I have trouble sleeping anyways, and I need to start getting to bed earlier because I am going to be getting up earlier to squeeze my cardio in in the am.

Will keep you updated.

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~~
