Weigh-In, Etc. Etc.

Well its my time of the month, so I wasn't expecting a big weight loss but is still a little disappointing. I only lost .4 this week. I know I may be a bit hard on myself, but I really work out intensely and to see only 153.0 is a bit shocking. I feel like I've been in the 150s forever. I just feel totally frustrated. Feel like going order a pizza and just eat it alone. But that won't do me one bit of good. I bet I would be feeling like crap if I were to do that so instead I'll just work extra hard this week hoping the scale is a bit more kind to me. I really need to work on my core this week. I'm sure you ladies know that after having children things get really lose in that area. Since I'm only 5'2, I have to work really hard at toning. It seems that the more I lose the more I think I might have to get a tummy tuck. Its weird to even consider that. I've NEVER had any type of surgery whatsoever so I'm not certain that's the route I want to take but its a thought just the same. I've had four kids. Two were over 8 lbs., one was over 10lbs. and one was over 7lbs. So I have a ton of toning to do in that area. I have 17 lbs. to go so I suppose I may reconsider going that route once I hit my goal weight. Well I have to go figure out what to do with the kids today. Have a good week everyone!

Weigh-In, Etc. Etc.


Well last week was an extremely long and stressful week. If you have in-laws, you know how much of a burden they can be when they come to visit for an entire week. All I can say is that I'm soooooooooo glad my fil has gone back home to Louisiana!! For the most part, his visiting was nice but on the other hand, there were many moments where he could have been murdered lol. Anyway, I'm definitely glad to be back to normal!!

Stepped on the scale bright and early before my 6 am workout and I was VERY thrilled to see 153.4!!!!!!! I didn't sleep very well at all last week and I only managed to get in THREE freakin' workouts(boy was I pissed about that). But it seems that I gave it my all during those workouts and I got unexpected results on the scale. I think keeping up with my water intake and eating the right foods obviously helped:) It would be soooooooo awesome to be in the 140s next week but I don't know if I can pull off another 3lbs. weight loss unless I REALLY kick it up a notch this week. It would be great if I had a punching bag in my "gym" area of the basement. There is something about punching, jabbing, and kicking that brings out the most intensity in me. I am going to have to do some shopping around for one of those stand alone types of punching bags. It would be a great addition to my equipment. Well, motherhood calls as I need to get some fuel in my system before the little ones wake up (can't believe its 8 am and they're still sleeping!!!!!). Have a great week ya'll!!!

Weigh-In, Etc. Etc.

I'm happy to report that I'm now 155 lbs.!!!! 19 lbs. to go before reaching my goal. I feel absolutely fantastic. I never thought I would be able to accomplish this with four young children, but I'm making it happen. I'm now in a comfortable size 10(I seriously need to take some updated pics.) The only downfall to my weight loss journey is that I'm getting extremely unorganized and its driving me insane!! I have almost a garbage bag full of important documents to shred and sort threw. It makes me sick just thinking about it:( Anyway, it really makes no sense to cry over something that won't get done unless I do it. Hubby "cleans" in his own little way. We know how men are lol. I'm starting to really get into cardio kickboxing, so if you have many recommendations for exercise DVDs to check out, I would love to hear from you:)I'm current doing Jillian Michael's The Biggest Winner-Cardio Kickboxing and I just love it!! Its a very intense 30 min. I sweat buckets every time I do this workout. Well, I guess I'll cut this short since I have some major cleaning to do before my fil arrives tomorrow. Have a great week everybody!!

Quick Note

Sorry I haven't updated in over a week but with the holiday weekend and preparing for my father-in-law visiting this upcoming week(from Louisiana), I've been running around like a mad woman getting things in order around here. I will definitely update on Monday after I've had a second to breathe!!
