Day 12

Once again, I took a break from my workout routine on Friday night.

Tonight, after eating a most delicious dinner from Jersey Girl Pizza I had these stats:
Weight: 185
Routine: 40 minutes on elliptical, with a slightly different set workout - stayed on level 9-11 for more than 80% of the time. WOW! That was tough.
Goal: 165
Days remaining: 146

I am still upset that I haven't lost any weight...but, at least I've maintained.

Day 11

Weight: 184

Routine: 40 minutes on elliptical. plus an extended ab routine
Goal: 165
Days remaining: 148

This was another late night workout due to boy scouts. I was very emotional all day... the workout was a great stress reliever.

Please pray...

***Update*** He's doing just fine, now! YEAH!!! He was breathing all on his own this morning, without the oxygen hood! Thanks for your prayers!

My best friend had her third son today at 1:25 this afternoon. Tanner James. 8 pounds, 7 ounces. 21 inches long. As of right now, 9:46 pm, she hasn't even been able to hold him. His billi levels are very high and he's having some type of lung distress. He's in the NICU. I'm crying like a baby at the thought of her not being able to hold her precious gift. Please join me in raising up prayers for baby TJ.

Heading to the gym

Before the gym...



Notice - no after picture... um... that would be gross... hahaha!

Day 10

Weight: 184
Routine: 40 minutes on elliptical. plus a short ab routine
Goal: 165
Days remaining: 149

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!

Weight: 186
Routine: 40 minutes on elliptical;that's just over 3 miles...
Goal: 165
Days remaining: 150

Day 8

Days remaining: 151
Weight: 186
Routine: 40 minutes on elliptical; two sets of bicycle abs, two sets of leg push-up things, and two 30 second planks
Goal: 165

I am already sore from the ab workout. I feel like I'm ripping the fat of my old retired baby bulge... Ew.

Day 7

Days remaining: 152 - somehow I am off on my countdown. The goal is August 25th
Weight: 184

I am enjoying this torture right now. Does that make me crazy? HAHAHA!

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. :)
