Resolutions!

Oh hi............. It's me again. I do not know why I have this eternal struggle with my weight. It is really starting to chap my hide. But, once again I find myself in the rut of need to drop a few pounds. AUGH! There is good news though, I have a goal! You see, in 86 days I leave for a 10 day Hawaii vacation. I am so excited. I have gotta have this bod of my in swimsuit condition. I also will be running a 5k in Lewiston on July 4th with Angie this year. So.....to get where I need to be I have decided to start the journey with a 21 day round of the HCG diet. I have been pretty successful with this in the past. I am hoping to drop a quick 20 and then start the running after that. So the past 2 days (really the past 10 days) I have been loading up and today is the official 1st day on the diet. I am pretty hesitant to post my weight.....but I need to be honest and also I need to track my progress. So if everyone reading this blog could just jump ahead a few sentences that would be great. 170.8 I guess it was a pretty small number after all! So I guess that all I have left to say is welcome to my journey!

Owies!

In an effort to help Dyllon get in shape for wrestling season this fall we purchased this.

I, having lost my mind, have agreed to do it with him. We are procrastinating and waiting until the 9th of August to start it. We have good reason to wait. We not be home 2 day this week and Dyllon will not be home for 4 days of the next week. You are not supposed to skip days.....so we are waiting. I just realized that I will start the pain on my Anniversary. Nice planning!

I'm Still Here!

I lost 5 more pounds in the last 3 weeks. And I am up to 40 minutes on the elliptical in the morning. Feeling good!

Past 2 Weeks

I lost 4.4 pounds in the last 2 weeks! Also, 6.5 inches total off my waist, bust, abdomen and hips. The next two weeks I will boost my cardio from 20 minutes to 30 minutes to keep the results coming. Hope everyone else is doing well with their goals, too!

Week 2 Results

Despite a horrendous ear infection and a lack of exercise, I did manage to lose two pounds this week! Huzzah!

Week One Results

My first week was a success! I worked out 4 mornings (though I found that my Abs of Steel VHS was broken, so I ordered a new DVD: 10 Minute Solution Ab Blast) on the elliptical and stuck to my 1500 calorie diet even though me and all the kids were sick as dogs the whole week. Friday we all turned a corner and everyone is feeling much better now. The plan is to get all 5 days of exercise in this week... 30 minutes each day once I get my DVD in the mail.
So my reward for my hard work while I was sick was a 5 pound weight loss this week! 8 more to go until my first goal is reached.. I would love to see that happen in the next 2-3 weeks.
