Lost

Okay so it has been a few days since I have posted, been crazy busy and trying to get life in order before my daughter heads to school. I am also doing really well, well better in my cake business so I am spending a long time focusing on that.

So tomorrow I am back on the work out wagon. I have not been eating the best either, so this week stayed strong at the 21.8 lbs lost.

I leave on Wednesday the 28th, so I made it to my 20lbs goal.

My next goal is April. Zoe comes to visit with her mom for a college graduation. I don't know exact dates, but will get those today and set another goal weight loss number for that time. I do know she will be here for Rya's birthday on the 18th. So I know I have at least 3.5 weeks. I also have a cake on the 12th, 16th and 18th, and a potential one on the 16th. So that week will be super busy!

My main thing for then is that my family will be here so I wanted to get some cute family pictures while feeling better about my physical appearance. So 15lbs to me seems like a reasonable request. 5lbs a week if I work really hard and stick to my program.

I might try running outside this week if the weather feels better. But I do enjoy checking out and watching something when I work out. But I hate having to change the speed or something along those lines while on there the whole time. We will see. Anyway, laundry to be done and cake organizing to get done as well.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Day 38

Today I didn't get to work out, but worked hard around my house. Too sick... :(

Day 37/Rest Day

I guess you could say that the last couple days have been a rest day as far as working out goes. But I have been so busy with sick kids, cakes and now I am getting sick. :( However that didn't keep me from doing things around my house that made me work up a little sweat. And my core temp seems to be a lot higher than those people in my house. So when they turn on the heat I actually start to get so how that I get sweaty a little. Home made sauna!

I fear however that I am getting what my children currently have. I feel fine, but you know that feeling you have when you know you are about to get sick. Yeah well that is me. But I heard that working out when you are sick makes it go away faster because you are working your body, um...oh I dunno why. I just heard it okay!

Anyway, a lot more cleaning to do and laundry to get done.

Sick Kids and Cake

Okay so yesterday I never had a moment to go work out. Felt so strange. Today my daughter and son are both very sick and because of that I literally got about 45 minutes of sleep last night.

So today might not happen work out wise either. My daughter loses her mind when I leave the room for more than two minutes and I don't want to leave my husband with two cranky sick children, since I have a few different places to go today.

But just because I might not be able to work out, doesn't mean I can't stay on track.

I also have another cake to do tonight for a 2nd birthday tomorrow. So with baby shower/baby shower cake delivery, bridal fair with a bride, and a birthday cake to do tonight my day is pretty full. Which will keep me going and busy all day. Just wish I had a little more energy to do all this. Since I have not had any pop in forever, I don't want to go there either. So I will make do with water and clean foods.

Hope everyone has a great day today!!!

Day 34

"If you are tired of starting over, stop giving up!"

Today I couldn't run on the treadmill, there was a man there already. Running at 9.0 mph...yeah intimidating.

But I did 30 on the elliptical machine, I am excited because I realized today that all I am thinking about in the morning is, "When do I get to go work out?" Which is a change for me. Feels good instead of wondering when I get to go back to sleep. I still have issues with wanting late night snacks or just snacks in general. So I will keep working on that. I am 2 lbs away from my goal for the end of this month. Which I am so excited about.

Now I can set another goal. Another 5lbs before Rya's birthday, April 18th. I can do it! I am bound and determined to be fit and look good in clothes. It might take me a while, but I will freaking get there!

Have a lot of laundry to do today as well as some cakes to work on. YAY!

Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

Rest Day

Today is my rest day, and I am not sure how I like them. I feel out of sorts because I am not going to the gym today. I know I need them to make sure I don't burn out, but it still feels weird. Which is also a good feeling because then I know this is becoming habit and not just something I did or currently am doing.

I have a very busy couple of days ahead of me, so I need to make sure I stick with my diet. I have a couple of cakes due, good thing I don't care for cake that much. However I have to use Oreo's and another kind of mint cookies in them, which might become an issue. :)

I have been struggling the last couple days diet wise. I seem to be wanting to snack late at night and am not even hungry. I am not sure what it is about, but it is driving me nuts. I am going to try to get a handle on this and curb this last night snacking. We will see how that goes.

Day 32

"Skinny girls look good in clothes. Fit girls look good naked!"

This will be me someday!

Anyway, today was a fantastic work out day. I decided to try the treadmill to see how my feet did. Awesome news, I ran for 13 minutes straight at a speed of 4.2 mph. Okay I realize that isn't fast and won't seem like a big deal to most.

But for me....well that is amazing. For reals I have never done that before. I only stopped because my right knee was starting to go out a little. Just need to keep at it and build up the muscles. Then I waled for 4 minutes and ran for three minutes.

I felt great and am beyond proud of myself. I am bound and determined to do a half or full marathon someday. I will!!!!

Hope all of you have a great day!!!!
