okay so today didn't go as planned

Those of you who have small children and those who don't will still understand this blog completely.  I woke up late this morning, and of course both children who are up at the butt crack of dawn, were both sleeping in.  The hubby who is normally already done working out by 6am, had decided to reset his alarm, without my knowledge.   So there went my morning plan of working out before I took the girls to "gramma's" house for me to go have my mommy playtime.  Now my mommy playtime is getting to go back to my job of training dogs, which in itself is a workout.  So I will give myself a D minus for todays grade, because as I was driving home from picking the kiddos up, all those lovely muscles I worked yesterday were screaming at me "No, please don't make us do it today, we are 27 not 10 anymore!!!"  I ignored their screams and pleas, while put the girls to down for their nap, the toddler fell asleep immediately, the babe however, decided it was time for her to have a screaming fit.  I think my muscles were sending her subliminal or secretive messages just so they could get out of being worked.  I will plug on tomorrow, and maybe somewhere secretly I'm happy the babe started screaming, cause may be, just may be, I might be lying in the middle of my garage in pain waiting for the hubby to come home, instead of writing this blog.

Food for today:

bowl of Kashi cereal with skim milk
cliff bar for mid morning snack
apple and cottage cheese
string cheese and another cliff bar
tilapia brown rice and broccoli for dinner

better luck for tomorrow as far as working out goes, sometimes you have to just say, its okay that I missed a day, but it does not mean I failed, my date of reaching my goal just got deferred.

holy core batman!

oh yes, as I said Saturday, Tony, we have an off day in our friendship, I do not care for you after this last workout, I know its in my best interest, but now my non existant stomach muscles are screaming at me and cussing me out in languages that are not appropriate to repeat.  My arms are shaking so bad from four or was it 5 different types of push-ups, to banana rolls and superman poses.  My head is swimming from memory lapse and every muscle from my knees to my neck are saying, ha ha just wait until you try to go to sleep tonight, or try to do your next work out tomorrow.


Anyways, it was  a really good workout, it is intense, I have never in my life sweat as much as I am right now, and hopefully in 89 days I will be able to post an extremely changed picture of myself.  for now, I'm going to save myself the embarassment of how horrible I do look.  Till tomorrow!

oh and food for the day

this morning 1clif protein bar and a yogurt

mid morning snack: string cheese and an apple

post work out meal, cottage cheese, yogurt, small protein shake

dinner:  chicken breast marinated in teriyaki, broccoli and a small baked potato

I forgot to eat lunch today because I was not paying attention while cleaning, I'm trying to eat atleast five times a day

I can take on the world

I just finished up the KenpoX, kinda like fast paced kick-boxing, karate and tae kwon do all in one...at least in my eyes.  Tony Horton, you are my friend today, but I think Monday's workout will definately test our friendships stability. Now I feel like I can go whoop some tail.  There's this one move that you grab and pull down and punch, I added an imaginary face and just tore into that move...paying for that one now, as my fingers are twitching and shaking from muscles waking up that I haven't used ever or since I was like 10 climbing trees.  


Quite a busy Saturday, the hubby cooked his usual Saturday morning breakfast, while I fed the baby, who may need to start P90x with me. :O)  Then I went by myself (ahhhhh golden lights and singing inserted here) to Sams Club to pick up food and supplies for next weekend's Bible bowl event.  I had a flatbed cart and a regular cart packed down with soda, cookies, chips, hot dogs, hot dog buns, plates, cups, napkins for 400 people, needless to say that was a workout in itself, and I was trying to pump myself up for my workout this afternoon, as I was pushing one cart and dragging another behind me.  Three different people told me "you don't have to worry about working out today" all three of which are easily 100lbs over weight like myself, thankfully more motivation, as I look at them waddling away, hoping I'm not waddling as I'm pushing and dragging these carts through Sams Club.  


Tomorrow is an off day, so 6 days of straight working out looms in front of me for Monday morning.  I'm going to push through it!  Even if the baby, the toddler, the dogs, the cat and the husband wear me out, I will survive!

The start of accountability for my weight loss goal

So hey there, to whomever (if that is the proper english) is reading this. I have started this blog, to hold myself accountable for sticking to my workout routine. I am at the heaviest weight I've ever been and not too happy about it. So I'm going to blog each day, to keep myself motivated, and humor myself and anyone else who wants to join me in my suffering. I am a mom of a 3yr old and a 3month old both girls. Trying to balance life and its craziness, all the while trying to get my pre-baby, pre-marriage body back. That way I can say I've got it goin' on like Stacy's Mom (Fountains of Wayne). I'm tired of looking in the mirror and seeing stuff hanging that shouldn't be hanging, stretch marks that are the ugly things I'm left with after having two beautiful daughters...really kinda sucks! I want to see if I can get anyone to join me, not necessarily doing the p90x (tony horton) workout itself as I am, but some sort of exercise routine.

Today, I skipped out on my work out. Mommy stuff got in the way, but from here on out I am making an oath that if need be, I will do it at 4am or 10 pm, but I will definately accomplish this goal, with humor, gripes, and all
