First goal completed!

My first  goal was to loss 5 lbs by valintines day and I did. I'm so excited. I even went beyond a little which makes it that much better. I lost 6.2 lbs.

Week 6 complete!

All I can say is good job on the challenge. My weight this week is +0.3 lbs. I'm in no way happy with that. I do think it has something to do with aunt flow showing up. I'm bloated and gained weight when I have been working my butt of this week. As for the challenge it was easy. With my father in law eating a special diet we already eat lots of veggies and fruit. The week I even added new ones to try. I tried beets and parsnips. The beets I think I need to fins a good recipe for. They have potential I just don't think they taste good steamed. As for the parsnips those did good. I just roasted those with carrots and sweet potatoes with evvo, sea salt and red pepper flacks. I also just used the left over raw beets for a few green smoothies for me. Next weeks challenge is ab workouts. I have been addicted to pinterest for ab workouts so I have lots to try on my jiggly belly.

Need to share

I have been all over the internet trying to get myslef some motivation and ideas. I came across this blog last week and I love it. Just what she has accomplished in 5 months is an amazement. I don't have as much weight to lose as she does but the way she goes about it is great. You can see her progress she made and just get motivated. I'm not a weight watchers person but after her blog I think I might try it out for a week. To me it's just like counting calories. She also had great success with the 30 day shred. I have tried it a few times but I always get lazy. But after see her results I think I just might try it out longer then 2 days.

Week 5 down!

We have success! This week I was able to lose 2.0 lbs! I', just so happy. I worked my butt of this week and it finally paid off with big results for me. I hope  to hit my goal of 5 lbs lost by v-day. This weeks challenge was also successful and very helpful for my house and yard. I cleaned the garage and the even deep cleaned the house for 2 days and worked outside in the garden turning the soil and mixing in some of the compost. I'll be working as much as possible the next month in the yard when the weather is good so I"ll be getting some good exercise and hopefully a nice looking yard this summer. Next weeks Challenger is eat more fruits and veggies.

Week 4 done!

Talk about a hard week. This week's challenge was really hard for me. Going no carbonation. It really wasn't the carbonation it was the caffeine. Life at home with the kids and my father in law I really needed caffeine. I gave in 3 times this week. On those days I even went all out and have 2 cans of Pepsi. My lose for this week was .01 lbs. I didn't even workout much unless you call picking my father in law of the ground 11 times this week. (He's learning re-recognize his left side again). Next weeks challenge is house/yard work challenge. Adding 1 hr a day of house or yard work. Now lets hope for good weather. :)

Week 3 down

This week was hard. I gave into so many things and I worked out like crap. I lost 0.7 lbs with a total of 3.7lbs. This weeks challenge was 30 min extra cardio. I struggled on it becasue I felt really lazy this week. I'm not really sure why this week was such a struggle for me. I'm mixing up my routine and my diet is things I like to eat and I love trying new things. Let just hope and keep out figures crossed it's a better week next week. Week 4 challenge is no carbonation.

My workouts

With my FIL living with me now going to a gym is something that isn't am option. So I have found things I can do at home. Thanks to Pinterest I have found this workout. I so love this. It's a killer one for me but I do manage to finish it. I do it once I wake up to get me moving for the day and again in the late afternoon before I start dinner. In the AM I also do 2 1 min sets of toe Planks,  2 sets of Bicycle Exercise and 2 sets  of Reverse Crunch. In the PM i do  the fast workout and 30 min of dancing with the kids for cardio. If I don't do those I will do the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred when I wake up and walk my neighborhood in the PM. My rest days are Sunday and Thursday and I try to make Monday bog workout day to help me get moving for the week.
