a quick update.

so here's my progress (or a lack thereof)...
monday was a fairly lazy day. didn't really do much except go to nick's parents where i completely ruined what i started sunday. but tuesday i quickly jumped back on the wagon. i didn't really get much done as far as working out goes on tuesday. jordan was sick and basically wanted me to hold him all day (which i am completely ok with by the way hehe). wednesday, however, was a different story. on wednesday, i got up at 5:30 and headed into the living room to do one of my workout dvds. after about 15 minutes i was completely bored with it. so i hopped on nick's bike for a ride. before i left i remembered that nick didn't have anymore 5 hour energy drinks, so i got my debit card and decided not only was i going to ride around the neighborhood, i was going to ride to the icehouse. so i did, and i felt pretty accomplished when i got back (and shocked nick i believe ha). of course the rest of the day i paid for it. my legs were killing me. or well i thought they were killing me until this morning. and this morning as 5 ish rolled around again, i started getting ready to go back at it. this time jordan decided he was getting up with me. so i loaded him up in the jogging stroller and hit the pavement. now mind you, just because it is called a jogging stroller doesn't necessarily mean you have to jog. haha. instead we took a brisk walk. all in all, i felt it was a decent workout. if jordan decides to stay asleep tomorrow, i am going to ride the bike again. i really liked it. the eating is coming along. i haven't been that crazy with the diet yet. nick wants us to try to just eat healthy before we restrain ourselves to a diet. we will see. i'm still hoping to lose atleast 1 pound by sunday. i guess that is all for now. hope everyone has a blessed day :)

just a little scary...

so here is my first weight post. and yes it is a little scary. but i feel like this is a pretty defining moment in my life. after i got to thinking about it, though, i don't think i am fooling anyone with this number. you can obviously look at me and tell i don't weigh 120 lbs haha. anyways, i am pretty excited about this. i look at old pictures and even though i am honest enough to admit that 135 may be a little ambitious right now, i don't think 140-150 is. and i would be able to wear a lot of my old jeans and clothes and it would be like gaining a new wardrobe ha. there is a slight glare on the picture so just incase it's not clear, yes that says 176.5. Whew. Ha. Well can't wait til next Sunday, hopefully it will be a little different. :)

Weight Loss...Fatty McFatterson is out!

Looks like I’m back. Hopefully for a while. My new venture-lose weight. My friend, Maggie Horton, gave me a pretty good idea. It’s gonna take a lot of guts, but I am going to try it and see how it goes. I will be doing a weekly weigh-in where I will post a picture of what the scale says. I am not posting this so that you guys can poke fun at how fat I am, but I am posting it so that I can be held (REALLY) accountable for my latest endeavor. Nick and I will be starting South Beach (he wants to lose a few as well). I know some people who have had really great success with this program. I bought the book a few months back, so now I just have to put it in action. We are hoping to start "Insanity" as well, but until then, I am going to try to do something atleast 5 or 6 days outta the 7 we get in a week. Ha.I am ready to get my life back, my smaller jeans back, and my confidence back. This will hopefully all kickstart on Sunday. New week-new challenges. Let’s do this!
