Outta Shape???

I went to Zumba tonight! It felt so good to finally go back to the class I love! But let me just say, it kicked my trash!!! I couldn't believe it. wow. At least I made it to the gym, and made it to Zumba, but I couldn't believe how out of shape I really felt. I was panting, and sweating pretty bad by the end. I even had to take a couple of breaks in the middle. Wierd. At least it won't be that way for long :)

Jan 4th

January 1st was a Saturday- I committed myself on that day, but I didn't actually start until Monday. Who starts a work out regiment on a Saturday?? So yesterday I went on my merry little way to the gym. We hadn't been the whole month of december so I was hoping that Mayli would still be fine in the kids club. She did great. Not a big deal at all. There were a TON of kids there!!

It's funny, how with the new year, and everyone's new years resolutions to get fit, the gym was packed. It only lasts about 2 weeks before it starts slowing down. Needless to say the girls in the kids club were frustrated because there were only 2 of them taking on 30 kids. There has to be some sort of ratio. It should slow down within the next couple weeks I am guessing.

Yesterday was an o.k. workout. It's amazing what taking a month off of working out will do to you. I couldn't even get through an hours worth of cardio. I did the elliptical for 30 minutes and then the bike for 15. Crazy. I will step it up next week. I am even thinking of doing my running training again. I really want to complete that!

New Year, New Me!!!

So December threw me a complete curve ball!!! I fell completely away. I don't think I made it to the gym once! It was such a busy minth full of family, festivities, and FOOD!!!! I LOVE holiday food. Needless to say I gained about 7 of the 8 lbs I lost back! How horrible is that!? But It is January first and I have a new resolve! I KNOW i can do it! I WILL do it.

Not only that, but Calli's family is doing the Biggest Lewis-er competition. I chipped in my 20 bucks and decided to participate. I think it will be fun competition and good motivation. The contest goes from January 1st to June 1st, and whoever loses the most percent of body fat in that time wins! I think I can totally do it! I think there will be about 10 of us competing so the pot will be around $200. Not bad.

My Starting Weight: 199.6 LBS

I am bummed out that I gained all of that weight back. I was doing sooooo amazingly. But oh well. I can get re-focused and do it!!

We ordered this weight loss supplement drink that is all natural and healthy, so hopefully it will be good as well.

GOALS:

**Don't Eat after 6 pm

** Eat a Lot of Vegetables

** Drink a lot of water

** make it to the gym 5 days out of the week

I know I can do this!!! I am soo ready! I want to be swim suit ready for the summer. Also, my ankles are completely better so I really want to try my C25K Training again. Woot Woot.

HERE'S TO 2011!!!!!!

Getting Back on Track

It's Monday. I was hesitant to weigh myself. I did. I gained a pound. I am not defeated. Bummed out, but I really did bring it on myself. It's ok!! I will just do AWESOME this week!! I know I can. I know I said my goal was to not gain weight but the holiday weekend threw me a curve ball. Oh well. I will do better! I am excited. This week is my birthday too...on Friday. But at least I can work out hard allll week long!! And then I won't go crazy over the weekend! Here's to another week!!!

Thanksgiving

Today is Sarturday!!! It has been a great thanksgiving weekend! I went to the gym wed and did 30 min elliptical and then started my C25K training, I didn't get through it!! :( It felt pretty defeating. I got about 3/4 of the way through before my ankles started hurting too bad and I thought that it would be a good idea to not keep going. If nothing on my body were hurting so bad I would have kept going, but I could tell that something just wasn't. I figured that in the long run I would rather avoid a bad injury and still be able to work out, than have an injury and have to stop for good for a while. It really bummed me out thought. I felt like a failure. Even though I know that I am still doing great. Mon, Tue, and Wed, were great....then thanksgiving came! I did great on thanksgiving but the rest of this weekend it feel like It's a free for all. No worries. I will get back on track monday!! Anyways, That's all I got for today. We are speaking in church tomorrow, and I am going out to take the Austin's family pictures today. I am excited for it, but also nervous...I hope they turn out well.

11/23

Zumba tonight. It was good. Calli went with me. I think this was the first week I started to feel kind of like I knew what I was doing. It was good!!

For breakfast this morning I made a really good fruit smoothie! mmm
Lunch I juiced....so I had a large cup of veggie juice, and that pretty much filled me up so I layed down when mayli layed down for her nap. When we woke up (which wasnt much later) i had like 2 ritz crackers and a couple handfuls of peanuts. For dinner I had one small chicken croissant, cottage cheese and peaches, and some green beans! That's all I had all day, which I am really proud of because when we were out and about I just about stopping somewhere and grabbing something quick and I didnt! sooo good!!

I WILL lose weight this week. Exceot I am a little bit nervous about my ankles, they are really sore. I dont know if I should keep running on them or not. It feels like I rolled them or sprained them or something. I want to run and finish soooooo bad! I dont want to give up at all. I will keep pushing through it and see how it goes, but I dont want to make anything worse :( Bummer, I guess we'll just see how it goes.

11/22/10

I went to the Gym Yesterday!! Obviously. I was going to go first things in the morning bet I slept in a little bit, and Mayli had a Dr. appointment at 10:15, so I decided to wait until after that to go to the gym. I was nervous about how she would do at the gym because she had gotten a shot at the Dr's. She was soooo excited to see the girls at the gym. I am glad she is loving it more and more!

My workout was great! I did 30min on the elliptical and then my C25K training, which was the rest of my cardio. I was sooo nervous for this week of it because it seemed way more intense than previous weeks. I just made sure that I stretched really good because I didnt want anything to go wrong. I did a 5 minute warm up walk, and then two repetitions of: jog 90 seconds/ walk 90 seconds, then jog 3 minutes/ walk 3 minutes. ... I had to go through that twice! I was soo nervous. I seriously didn't think I was going to be able to make it. Honestly, I don't know if I've EVER run for 3 minutes straight. Pathetic, but true. The good news is, I DID IT!! I pushed through it and did it! I was sooo proud of myself for not quitting! It was hard, but it was also do-able and I didn't die. The wierd thing is, is that my ankles are really hurting. The first two weeks they didn't hurt at all but now they are. I hope it goes away.

In other news, I juiced for my little fam. We had it with our lunch. It was 2 celery, 2 carrotts, and 2 Apples. Colin and I thought it was sooo good....but so did Mayli! She loved it! I am excited to start eating better and having healthier options for my family! Cheers! here's to Skinny Ginny!
