{Nap Time}

Morning Weight: 161
Today's Activities: 30mins on treadmill, before & after weights

WELL....today didn't go as planned AT ALL! But that's what life is like with four boys! lol Tommy is back at work...which he works nights...so he's sleeping during the days, and on the nights that he works, I have the kids. So we are all adjusting to having Daddy back at work. I'll get it down again....I'm sure it being summer, and us having been lenient with bedtime hasn't been helping me now. That's okay....I might not be able to workout as much as I'd like until I can get them into a better night schedule.
Theron being 4 now has been hard too. He's at that age where he's constantly pushing every line possible and doing it in such a curious manner...and all the while being as cute as can be. It's a very hard age for me. lol So he's fine up until the evening and then it's all chaotic! SO today when I put Ace down for his nap I put a movie on and made Theron sit on the couch with me....I was hoping that he would take a nap, and if he did that that he wouldn't be as whiny and cranky in the evening. Well, he did take a nice long nap. :-D That was great....the downfall was that I had to sit by him and wasn't able to go on the treadmill like I wanted. And the evening did go much better. BUT then at 8 I laid Ace down for his bedtime, and told the boys it was time to be quiet and that I was going to go in the garage to workout. Elisha had asked me if he could play the PS3 and I had told him as long as he was quiet and left me alone that it was okay. But the problem is that NONE of them would leave me alone!!!
So what I'm going to have to do is take more time maybe even start earlier and settle them down so that I can workout....both in the afternoons and in the evenings. I would like to be able to do dvds on the nights that Tommy is at work (I don't like to do them in front of people)....and I can't do that if the kids are playing video games on my tv. lol

{Watch it Go Back Down}

Morning Weight: 161
Today's Activities: 1hr on treadmill, before & after weights


FINALLY!!! I've seen some progress on the scale! :-D It feels SO good to see those numbers go down....now working on getting that 6 out of the way again. :-D
I had another workout date with Serena but I was having a hard time getting the kids to actually go to bed to be able to do a video which is what I wanted to do since I was on the treadmill earlier. But I wasn't too too worried about it because I had done the treadmill. :-) So we'll just try again another time. It looks like we both enjoy workingout 'together' :-)

{Getting Back on A Schedule}

Morning Weight: 163
Today's Activities: 1hr on treadmill, before & after weights

Since my hubby is on a two week schedule....and we would like to work out together on his nights home...AND he will use the treadmill when we do this....I have worked out a schedule for me so that I know what I'm doing each day. I love doing stuff like this....it doesn't ALWAYS keep me in check, but it sure helps. I love my lists. :-D So, now I know which times and days are best for me to use the treadmill, and when I should use the bike instead. I also put some workout dvds on there, since hubby will be at work I SHOULD be able to do some more videos. lol Key word of course is SHOULD lol I'm excited though. :-) The scale is really annoying right now, but I try not to look at the day to day weight, but the weekly or monthly. So....fingers crossed.....I'm looking to stay on track and loose this weight!!!
And I'm super excited that my sister Serena is working out even when we aren't able to do it 'together'. :-D That is definately motivational for me to keep going. :-)

{Early Morning Riser.....s}

Morning Weight: 163
Today's Activities: 40mins (burn part of burn & firm dvd)

The reality is that I don't sleep well. I wake up off and on all night long. So, this morning when I woke up at 7 and the rest of the house was still sleeping I thought I'd get up and give working out in the morning a try. I was able to do 40mins of a dvd, but I was worried about being noisey the whole time. lol
Well the biggest problem with this idea is that mu husband has been on leave, so we spend time together at night after the kids go to bed...and well, I've been staying up way too late way too many nights in a row...so this morning after my workout...I was exhausted! I could barely stay awake doing nothing....and I always have plenty that I should be doing around our home. lol So I'm not saying that the early mornings won't work for me....I'm saying that THIS morning didn't work for me. lol And the fact that almost right after I was done with my 40mins....I heard little feet coming down the stairs.....ugh....

Morning Weight: 163
Today's Activities: 45mins on treadmill & weights after, 15mins on treadmill

Today I was able to workout 'with' my sister Serena. lol It was a blast. I let her know when I was starting, and she got ready at her apartment & I got ready here at my home. And then we worked out at the same time. lol And we were even texting & 'talking' while we were working out. lol It was a really great experience. :-D And every day that I'm able to even get in a few mins feels great!

{On the road again....}

Morning Weight: 162
Today's Activities: 1hr on treadmill, before & after weights

WOW I was able to get in an hour on the treadmill today while Ace was down for his nap. Tommy watched the kids & kept them occupied while I was in there. It was AMAZING!!! It felt SO great to get in there and really use it. And since it's been so hot here, the garage really isn't that much cooler than the house.....I was DRIPPING with sweat! & I had to take a shower RIGHT away! lol It was bad....but it felt SO GOOD! :-D

{Ooops...I Did it Again....}

This morning I weighed in at 165! Aaagggghhh!!!!!
I know that part of this is because our California trip got postponed, and I was upset about that....and also Amanda was here for three weeks, and Serena for a week while Amanda was here too. I was somewhat trying to watch what I was eating, but I wasn't exversizing at all. :-( Which = NOT GOOD!
SOOO....I've printed out the insides for my food journal....I had run out of pages, and not printed them. And that wasn't helping me any either.
We got a treadmill!!! I am SO excited about that! Amanda helped watch the kids while Serena helped me clear a nice spot in the garage for it. I also set up an area for a tv and vcr. Tommy was also able to put my bike in there for me. And I set it up with my mp3 player, a pair of socks, and my shoes, and also a water bottle. I even have a spot just for my weights. :-) Have I mentioned that I'm excited?! :-) Well, I am!!! I can't wait to really get in there and put it all to use!!!! :-D
I keep trying to remember to blog....I want to get my entire story on here...so I can see the ups and downs of it all. But the hard part is that when I get depressed, not only do I not eat well but I also don't like to interact with anyone...so that would include blogging.....So I'm still trying on that part....
