124.8

Going back up... This week has foiled my plans and once again put me behind. The kids have been sick and the weather has been icy and we have stayed inside. I always plan on doing an at home workout... but with 3 high maintenance kids, it doesn't happen. I don't want to do it at 4am, and I say I will do it when 2/3 are napping, but then something happens and they don't nap or I have something more pressing to do at that time, and then I say I will do it before bed, but by that time, I am zapped... so, it's hard to do a home work out. Hopefully, next week I will get back on track, both with my eating and with my workouts and will start dropping pounds again. I have a little less than a month to lose more... I have a hot date with the hubby on 2/21... An overnighter, with no kids!!!!

124

I have been staying around 124 lately, which is good. This week I am going to try really hard to stay on my workout routine, which is 1 hour hard cardio per day and then legs and abs on MWF and arms on TTh. I have just got a few pounds left on my pouch, my love handles, my saddlebags and my thighs... and I need to find a good exercise that will perk my butt up.... I am going to get measured this week and I will get josh to take some pics so we can compare... It's been about 7 or 8 months now...
I am also going to try really really really hard to stay on top of my calories this week. Today is my daughter's 3rd birthday, and we are having a chuck e cheese party tonight, so I hope I can control the pizza intake~

Ugh

I have been stressed at home and totally slacking in the eating department. I am splurging and having sweet cravings all over the place. I need to get back on track. I am up to 123.8. I am going to try to add a lot of water to my diet. We have a water purification system, but it's outta filters and I was spoiled to that good water and now I think our water is kind of gross and I don't drink much at all... So, today I bought the Brita pitcher with the cute green bottle, so I can pretend I am on biggest loser and drink more water!!!! I will lose this belly!!!

124.6! Woo hoo

Making a little more progress. My goal now and also one of my New Year's resolutions is to lose the final 12 or so pounds and to tighten and tone and firm up. A couple people at the gym have mentioned that they can tell I am "slimming" up, and my pants are fitting looser, so that is a great feeling. I have cut back to 1200 calories give or take a hundred per day and I am trying to burn 1000 at the gym every day. It didn't happen yesterday, I only burned 700 and today it didn't happen because Juddson threw up as soon as I got started, so I only burned about a hundred and had to go home. I tried to do a DVR'd workout, and it was good, I just kept getting interrupted... I will try to get another two in before the day is over. I am trying to cut out sugars, not totally, but I switched to artificial sweetener in my morning coffee and think that has helped tremendously and also, no cokes or diet cokes of any kind. Since I have some of the weight off, I am still focusing mainly on cardio to lose the remainder of the weight, and I am going to add more focus on toning my abs, and back of thighs and butt-- which are still my problem areas. Hopefully, we can get back to the gym and get going again tomorrow...
