Summit Fitness

I went to the gym with my mom and Meghan today. It was pretty nice. They just joined Summit Fitness and have a few free guest passes, so why not take advantage right? I did 20 minutes on the elliptical, then did some machines and other exercises with Meghan. They have child care available so Skylar went in there for the hour or so we were there. He did not like it at all. I'm not sure if it's because he was hungry, thought we weren't coming back for him, tired, or just plain didn't like it. At least I got a chance to get a nice work out in. I managed to do a little over two miles on the elliptical, and I even kept a quicker pace than when I'm out jogging. I probably could've done another mile but thought I would take it easy since I haven't been working out much lately.

I'm super hungry tonight so I'm hoping to avoid eating anymore... especially since it's already almost 11 o'clock. I'm also hoping to at least maintain last weeks big loss at weigh-in tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. I feel good, that's what matters most. Plus, we all know that one weigh-in does not make or break us. I know I'm doing well and I will continue to do so far beyond tomorrow's weigh-in!

Iron Deficiency Sucks

I've been super tired for a while now, and had recently found out that my iron is very low. I've started an iron supplement, and strangely enough I have never felt more tired. I don't know if my body is just playing catch up from the weekend and previous week or the because of the iron. Anyway, I had every intention of working out today but I am too tired. I feel like it would just be a waste. So tomorrow I am going to rehydrate, try to get a good night's sleep tonight, try to play my cards right and either work out tomorrow morning or tomorrow evening before I pick up Sky from daycare. I don't want to lose all the work I've done because I feel like being lazy, at this point that's how I'm viewing the tiredness. Pure being lazy, an excuse to sit around. I do know that my diet has remained in check other than having a few sodas on Saturday. I've probably been under my calorie goal because I've been so busy. I don't know why, but it just hit me that that's probably why I am so tired. LOL!

Well, I have to go pick up my man now. He went swimming with his Aunt Meghan. Let's see if I can get him to come home with me...

Me... In the 170's!

This is me on 5/19/10. Warning: I didn't have make-up or hair done, so I look a bit scary. I promise I was sucking in no more than I do on a normal day. Not too shabby though. We'll see how I look in another four weeks...

Yeah Baby!

I DID IT!!! I am actually in the 170's... Even though I'm just barely there, I feel great and so proud. I honestly do not remember the last time I weighed under 190 let alone 180! So today I weighed in at 179.7lbs!!! That's a loss of 3.5lbs!!! It's been 4 weeks since my last measurements. So here are the new numbers, they aren't much improved but I am pretty jazzed about the loss in the thigh!

neck- 13.5"
bust- 40"
upper arm- 13"
waist- 34.5"
hips- 43.5"
thigh- 25"
calf- 15"

I am now 5.7lbs away from my first goal!!! Not bad at all, considering I have 6 weeks to work before the move. Look out babe! Look out Hawaii! Look out anyone who may have doubted me (which sadly includes myself)! I feel like a busted through a plateau that was only in my mind. IT'S ON NOW!

Slacking

So, I have been slacking since Friday. My diet hasn't been super awful... So I'm hoping that tomorrow I will be able to get a workout in.

*Crossing my fingers!

Belting It

So, I'm totally wearing a belt with my size 12 jeans! These jeans are from Target too, which means they run a little small!!!

I'm loving my "getting healthier" life! I didn't work out yesterday, but I did Monday-Thursday. I will try to get a work out in today and hopefully tomorrow. i'm also hoping to get some swimming in, we'll see.

weellll...

Things could have been a whole lot worse at weigh in today. I weighed in at 183.2! That's minus .1lb. Isn't that silly? At least it wasn't a gain. I won't be adjusting my ticker since it's not even worth taking the time to do so. LOL! Next week will be better!

I'm 9.2lbs away from my first goal! Man, it seems like so far away!!! I will get there though. Next week, hopefully I will be down 8 or less away.
