Day 7-8
Day 7 was hard i was still fighting that damn cold so i half assed my workout. I did most of the cardio, and a tiny bit of strength. total maybe 15 minutes. i just couldn't go anymore. The weight watchers it wonderful though. I am not starving at all, which it totally different from any other diet i have ever been on. Portion control is key. Is it working? I think so
Day 8 was a bit better, we went to church. I came home and did my Full workout. My legs were a bit achy, but overall it went well. I have decided that the plank jacks are going to do me in, so again i did the jumping jacks with my abs tight. I weighed in at about 9 am and i am down to 134.6. 20 more pounds and i am at my goal. YAY for me!!

Day 5-6
Day 5 Was a challenging day. i woke up with this terrible cold. so i took some sudifed and cleaned my house, i thought i would just do my workout after the kids went down for nap. By the time nap time came the sudifed had worn off, at that point i was worthless, congested and tired, so i opted out of my workout. I seriously tried but every time i got up to do something i got lightheaded, i can only imagine what Jillian would have done to me. i would probably still be laying on the floor, unconscious. I guess it is a good thing my kids can make their own cereal lol. But i made up for the workout by only eating 9 points out of my 20.
Day 6 I a still fighting this damn cold, and to be honest it is really pissing me off. I hate it when my nose itches. there is nothing more irritating, Actually there might be, but i cant think of anything right now. Any who i had a great nights rest and i was up with the sun,[earlier actually] got the kiddos off to school, went to the education office, tanned and came home to do my workout. I was all about it since i felt terrible for taking yesterday off. still on level 2, but again i decided not to do the plank jacks. They make me light headed, well they don't but they are coupled with double jump ropes and the up and down would have done me in. so i again did my jumping jacks, and peed my pants. Yea i did, cold + exertion = pee pee in your panties. So i paused the DVD and changed. then continued as usual. I don't feel much today no leg pain no tummy pain so i think my endurance has built up.
Business as usual tomorrow and weigh in on Sunday YAY

Day 4
Today started out well, but i felt a tiny bit guilty for having that Turkey pastrami sandwich at 9pm...even though it was just half, I made up for that other half by dipping it into ranch dressing.
Ranch dressing just happens to be my weakness. I quit ranch cold turkey about 8 months ago, and i didn't really miss it, but then my son went on this kick where he had to dip everything, i mean EVERYTHING in ranch. This child would dip a hamburger, a hot dog, even Mac n cheese. We went to burger king and he asked me to get him ranch for his cheeseburger, we got home and i dipped ONE french fry in the ranch and the addiction began, yet again. So i fight with that demon regularly. i tried light ranch and it is just gross. So i feel like i take a step backward when i have it, but it is just like Heaven in my mouth.
I took the kids to school and on the way home i was arguing with myself. I could just take a say off i say, then the argument began. No you cant take a day off, i tell my lazy self. Just do it! then little lazy says " yea but you are in pain, there is no sense in hurting yourself" Motivator me says "but you have this goal and you want to accomplish it. Just do it don't be a puss." this argument went on until about 1030, when lazy just gave up, because it was just too lazy to continue arguing. Motivator me won. and i am really glad. i needed to do it.
I have a goal and that goal will not be accomplished is i puss out, and let lazy win. That is how i got into this situation to begin with, right!?!?
So through the DVD i am sweating and panting and drinking lots of water, and then i come to the STUPID "plank jacks". they are HELL and to be honest it kinda hurts my lower back, so i opted out of them. instead i just did regular jumping jacks. for the most part i do the advanced version of the moves, but there a few things that irritate my hips, so i do the beginner version. I was sweating my ass off, quite literally hopefully... But at this point i think i might DIE if i get to level 3 LMAO. But i am just going to take it one day at a time and i will get where i want to be.
Wish me luck, and pray that little lazy gets her ass out of my life!

Day 1-3
On 1 February 2009 i have decided to dedicate my life to bettering myself a an over all human being. well actually that started when the Man deployed, on 2 January. with that ritual i started a bedtime routine that has since been inadvertently avoided, became a quasi vegetarian went to the gym maybe 5 times and worked out at home 3is maybe...and lost 6 lbs. On February first i decided to kick it into high gear.
Day one, my motivation is through the roof, Gooo MEEE!! I weighed 138.2 lbs at 3:32 pm now if you don't know you weigh less in the morning so that is why i felt it necessary to let you know the time of my weigh in. I did a level one workout with Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, and it wasn't too excruciating. I was sweating and thirsty, and afterwards i felt a little like gelatin, but it was good.
Day Two, I was slightly less motivated and kind of procrastinating the workout [along with everything Else, but that is another blog all together]. But i somehow managed to git'r'done, so to speak. Today was a bit harder on my body, but the last time i did this workout i gave myself a break and never went back, so i was determined to get passed this, whatever it is that is holding me back from reaching my goal. All day my booty was killing me and my legs were like jello jigglers {thanks bill Cosby for that lovely reference}.
Day Three, I have my motivation back, i slept well and i was raring to go, so at 11 i decide it was time, and i got daring I did level 2, wow, that was interesting, hard to say the least. I also have realized that since i have had children the control of my rhythm kind of sucks, lol. she had me doing Skaters and i couldn't figure it out, wow. i am a spaz. but i wont let that get me down. i plan on doing the level 2 for another week, then we will see how i am feeling. my calves are hurting, bad. So bad that i want to take an Advil. i think i just might...
What have i learned
*Breakfast make you hungry earlier than you would be if you were not eating ie; if i don't eat breakfast i could go till 3pm and not eat (completely unhealthy) if i do eat i am hungry at 11 and starving by noon.
*The girls in the workout videos wear shorts and sports bras not just to show you what you can have, but because t shirts are very constricting and you have to constantly pull them down, because well the ride up up up! and it is just too damned hot to wear sweats, i actually took mine off midway through the workout because i was overheating
today i weigh 136.2 at 12:20 pm
I surprised myself
