10 Minute Trainer-OMG!!

I did 45 min. on the Elliptical Machine thinking that was my only workout for today. Well hubby and I were talking about exercising but I didn't think we were going to be doing anything tonight. Hubby comes upstairs with our exercise mats and his tennis shoes on. Told me it was time to get my shoes on as well. I complained, sobbed, and mumbled a few cuss words. Alright, its only 10 minutes, lets get this shit over with. OMG!OMG!OMG!My legs are on fire!!I can't believe how much I've sweat in such a small amount of time!!I think I've found my new addiction people. I can't wait to see where I'm at 4 weeks from now!!

It was so cool exercising with hubby!!I love that guy♥

Monday Madness

Getting to the point(I'm suppose to be getting my son ready for school): I think I could have done better this week. I exercised 4 out of 7 days but I wanted to do 6. I also feel that my eating habits COULD have been a little better as well. I think going to KFC while dieting is such a good idea. I lost 1.5 lbs this week, bringing me to 177.7. I'm okay with that number but not excited about it. So this week I know that if I want to lose a good amount of weight, I should step it up a notch or two. I'm hoping to workout at least 5 times this week and not going above 1800 calories per day. Have a great week everyone!

I am NOT a morning person

If you have had the pleasure of getting to know me, you know that I can't stand waking up early BUT when you have four kids, you really don't have an option to sleep in. I got up at 6am and headed downstairs and got in a good 45 minutes of exercise. I only did 20 min. on the elliptical machine, 100 crunches, and some triceps extensions as well. I still can't believe I did that lol. I'm hoping that I have the energy to go downstairs during nap time and get in another 20 min. on the elliptical machine before I crash on the couch. We seriously need to get the treadmill in the basement. My loving husband promised we would get it downstairs before Monday but ummmmmmmm isn't it TUESDAY now...blah!!

Its My Year

Its the first day of 2009 and boy am I ready to get the show on the road. I weighed in at 176.4 this morning. My goal is to get down to 130 by my 30th birthday which is May 29th. I think my goal is pretty darn achievable. But with 4 small children under the age of 7, as well as a household to maintain and a hubby, things can easily fall off track as some of you can attest. I plan to start exercising on Monday. I'm a planner so I have to write out my exercise routine so that I won't get bored with and throw in the towel before I actually get going with any sort of progress.

It kind of bites me in the butt being a great cook. I was born and raised in New Orleans which is known for its rich food and love of fattening ingredients so cooking low-fat is something that I am not use to one bit. Thats going to be a huge challenge for me.

If I can give birth to four children, I'm pretty sure I'll figure out this weight loss thing again:)

Feeling good;)

Today despite every single obstacle that tried to get in my way, I worked out!!! It was only 20 minutes, but I feel a real sense of accomplishment today. Exercise makes me feel so good inside, its truly amazing how that short amount of time has changed my mood. I did tons of stretching beforehand then I did 15 min on the elliptical machine and about 5 minutes of weights.

I also weighed in at 175 lbs exactly. I was 171 before we got pregnant in January so I will definitely be at my short-term goal of my post-pregnancy weight within the next week or two. My husband thinks I'm sexy now...just weight until I drop the next 30 lbs:D
