A new year

It's a new year. Last year was good in terms of weight loss. I lost 20 pounds. Now I am struggling to get into a habit of exercise again because of the lack of it during the holidays. The holiday's really mess with me. Now I am working so I am having an even harder time fitting into my schedule. Maybe if I write everyday I will be more likely to accomplishing my goals. Anyway here is to a new year!

Melting away

I have lost a total of 17 pounds in 4 months. I have never felt better. My old clothes are looser and I feel great. The last time my body lost weight was when my daughter was 6 months old. I lost five pounds and then I found out I was pregnant again. I never really got to lose the Kaitlyn weight and the Skyler weight before I got pregnant with my third. Now I am 7 pounds from losing all of the Aaron weight then onto Skyler weight and then onto Kaitlyn weight. I know I have named my weight but it how I reach my goals. Once I reach my before weight with one of my children, then I move onto the next. It feels so great to be reaching goals. I love how my clothes hang loosely. It makes me feel like I am accomplishing something. Go Me! If you work hard and stick with your goals then you can accomplish anything.

Oh Yeah!

I have lost ten pounds! Hurray! I love it. I still have more to lose but I am losing weight faster then I did with my last two children. Muscle burns fat baby! My arms and legs and butt all have muscle in places I haven't had in awhile. It is great! I didn't even need a membership to lose the weight. I love to exercise. Sorry I had to brag. I feel so great and sore! I love being sore especially when I get results and I can see the results. Have a great day!

Improvement

It has been a month since I have started my Chaleans extreme. When I first started exercising I took photos and then I am suppose to take more every thirty days. Well it has been 30 days and man in a month I have slimmed down very nicely. There is room for importmant. But to see a difference has really made me start to like what I see in the mirror. My face is thinner, my hips and thighs are slimming and firming up. I am starting to have shoulders again. I might actually be able to put on a bathing suit this summer. I am way excited for the next phase in my program. I am in the push phase now and can't wait till I can look at those pictures and see an even greater improvement. I would post the pictures but I am not wearing very much and wouldn't want to scare anyone. I am just glad that I am really doing it after 4 years of struggling to lose the weight. Weight lifting is great. Muscle burns fat. Muscle also doesn't bulk you up especially when you workout with the program I am doing. I have lost about 6 inches on my body in 4 weeks. I am way excited. I am sure I would have lost more weight if I had eaten perfectly. But even though I didn't I am still on the road to success. I don't think I would have been able to do all this if it hadn't been for the support of my wonderful husband. I couldn't have asked for a better husband. He is the most wonderful man ever.

Exercise

Weight training is wonderful. My body has muscles in places I never had muscles before. This program I am on is really great. I am learning to eat less and I am exercising and pushing myself. Chalene's extreme is an excellent program. After I am done following this program I might try her turbo jam. Lucky for me my sister in law has that program. They can be a little pricey but so worth especially if your are like me and don't like to work out in front of people. I wanted to get a gym membership but the program I am doing is just as good or even better then going to workout at the gym. I am not losing as much weight as I would like but in this program I am doing, I should start to lose more weight towards the end. Anyway great program.

I Am Doing It!!!!!!!!!!

Finally after two months of working out I am starting to lose weight. I have lost 3 pounds so far this week and it feels great. Seeing the scale go down has pumped me up. I wasn't losing weight at all and it was really upsetting me. Sure you may say it is only three pounds but to me that is great since with my last two pregnancies it took me almost 6 months to start seeing results. I am weight lifting and doing cardio and I am also eating better. Even when I slip up it isn't as mad as it has been before. So I feel great. So all you who are trying to lose weight don't give up. I almost did and I am glad that I didn't.

At Least I Am Trying

It has been awhile since I wrote about my new weight loss goal. I have done pretty well. I am exercising at least one a day three times a week. I wish it was more but sometimes we get too busy or I am just am way too tired. I am try not to eat like a glutton but sometimes it doesn't work. I might not have heavy snacks in the house but when I am stressed I get into the 100 calorie snacks and eat two or three. It makes me feel real guilty other then that at least I am working out.

I have decided to try and get up at 5:30 every morning and workout. My husband doesn't leave till 6:25 to catch the bus so I would have time to work out with out my children waking up and getting in my way. I have succeeded yet getting up early but I just made the plan yesterday.

Today so far I have had cereal, which is was sugary so not a good start to the day. I also have had a sandwich and a pudding cup. The sun is out so I have been more distracted. I spend a portion of my day outside laying on the grass watching my children play and making sure they don't squash my two month old. Well for all those trying to stay fit and loss weight my only advice is don't give up. Even if you slip and mess up. Keeping plugging away. We are human and it takes practice to get this down.
