I haven't been able to work out in a while due to this stupid chest cold!! I did get out and shovel 3 inches off of the driveway and sidewalk today, so I guess that counts for my workout for the day.

Down to 175 today! :-)
Lake Geneva was a blast.....now it's back to reality. I am really looking forward to our spring break trip at the end of March/early April. Hopefully I will be in the 160's by then!

I know it's been a while since I've updated, but it's Monday and time for another weigh in. Today I weighed in at 175.6 Not the best, but I knew it was going to happen with how I have been eating lately and missing a few days of exercise.
Anyways, I hope to do better this week!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

So, I did get a workout in today. I left yesterday as a rest day and I think I really needed it! I'm debating now weather or not I should join a gym and go and workout there a few nights every week.....I just hate spending money on myself!

So today I looked at myself in the mirror and even though it's only been 1 week since I started working out I can already see a difference in my body. That just gives me even more motivation to keep going!
Today is my first rest day in a whole week from working out......I may end up doing a light workout later; all depends on what we have planned for the night with the family.

So, today was my first weigh in:
Starting weight: 178.6
Today (2-7-11) 176.5
Not too bad I guess considering the junk I have been eating.
I did manage to get a workout in today; even with Matt being here along with Courtney and Daniel who are both sick. Tomorrow is my rest day according to Biggest Loser Challenge, but I plan on trying to get a WII Fit workout in.

So, I never got that 2nd workout in yesterday. We did get to the mall and I did a lot of walking there; not sure if that really counts though.
I did get a workout in today though. I love having Courtney workout besides me, she is too cute! I really hope my motivation stays up and I can continue to find time to workout during the week. I plan on updating this blog daily, I think it's one of the things to help keep my motivation up.

So today was day three of working out and it went well. I did the Biggest Loser Challenge and it really made me break a sweat. I know I can't count on WII games to help me lose 60+ pounds, but it will work in the beginning; and it's a great way to keep me motivated. I did weigh myself today and I've already lost 2 pounds!! Not bad for just doing a few workouts.
This whole eating healthy thing doesn't come easy to me. I love sweets and carbs! I'm trying, but I already broke down and had a doughnut this morning. First one in a REALLY long time so I don't feel as bad.
Who knows, maybe I'll feel like doing a second workout later today.

My workout for today was done on the WII Fit. I did some balancing games, yoga, strength exercises and aerobics. It may not sound like a work out, but for someone like me who hasn't done a "real" workout in so long it really got my heart rate up, and I can feel it in my body.
I think it's better than nothing, and a great way to get started. I did the same things yesterday; maybe not the same exercises but still worked out with the WII fit.
I have to find somehow to make myself drink a lot more water throughout the day. Any suggestions are welcome!

time for a change
This past Monday (January 31, 2011) I looked in the mirror and was dissapointed in myself. I decided to weigh myself and the scale read 178.6 I was devastated. How did I let myself get to this point? Everyone tells me; you have had three kids in the past 6 years......I didn't find much comfort to those words. It was that very minute that I decided it's time for a change.
I have decided I'm going to lose this weight by eating healthy and exercising. Sure I have tried this before and sure I'm busy with my kids and daily life, but it's time. I am happy to announce for the past 2 days I have been working out.
I will be weighing myself every Monday and updating here.
