I worked out after the boys went to bed tonight. After we had homemade hamburgers. It was a great workout, again. I'm starting to see a small difference in my clothes - but not on the scale.

Day 9

Tonight, I cooked breakfast for dinner, before working out. No, I didn't eat first. I was afraid I'd get sick on the elliptical... I pushed myself very hard - trying to "go further" on the elliptical...instead, I just got a pain in my lower left lung from improper breathing. Oh well! Still loving my alone time!

Brant and Caleb were out of town. So, I took the laptop & Toy Story 3 with Owen and I. He did great!

Friday free day.

Did not workout today. :(
I don't have an excuse...i don't want to blame any excuses... But, I can take one day off per seven. And today was that day. Saturday I will be back on target again. :)

Day 5

Days remaining: 157
Weight: 184
Routine: 25 minutes on elliptical
Goal: 165

Came home "early" (read:left at 4:30 instead of 5:30) so I could get my workout in before I picked up the boys from daycare. Thursdays are our boy scouts night...and that means we don't get much time between daycare and boy scouts to do homework and dinner...let alone ALONE time for Momma to work out. So, I had a shorter workout than I would like to have had. But, I'll take it. NO EXCUSES!!!

Day 3

Day remaining: 159
Weight:186 <--- meh...?!
Routine: 35 min on elliptical

had the boys sitting in the computer room - playing on their leapsters. Owen was a pill. Caleb was an angel. Why? DH had a late patient. And, I will not make excuses for myself - not working out anymore. It is the new way I will live. YES-SIREE!!
