Days 21 & 22: My Journey from Pudgy to “Perfect”

At the end of my first three weeks I’ve been forced to take a small hiatus from exercising.  Saturday I had an assembly to attend.  I was up at 3:45 am because of the baby and got up to get everyone ready at 5:30 am.  We had a 3 hour drive to Lansing, MI and [...]

Days 3 & 4: My Journey from Pudgy to “Perfect”

Everyone has their own standard of perfection.  In the case of weight loss it’s the solid idea of what you’ll be like as the process of life modification molds you.  You must have concretely in mind more than just what you hope to look like, but what you hope the changes will do for your [...]

Days 21-22: Constant Nausea Putting Kybash on Plan

Sunday morning I did my darndest to get up early and exercise. I got through half of my slim-in-6 workout before I noticed that I had to stop to get ready for church… Or I’d be late – AGAIN. We did good and made it during the first song and before the opening prayer. Haven’t [...]

Days 18-20: Still pushing

I don’t know what happened Thursday. The morning was good, I played with Yeyda and ate a good, healthy lunch. About an hour after lunch I thought I was going to vomit. I was so naucious. It felt like someone was twisting my guts in opposite directions. I lay down for a bit, but it [...]

Days 14 – 17: Trying to get back on the horse

Ever been horseback riding? It’s not my favorite past time. I’m short, fat and uncoordinated and being on the back of a large creature whose girth is wider than your knees can stretch is rather uncomfortable. These past few days that is what exercise has felt like to me.

On Sunday, day 14, we went [...]

Days 12 & 13: Discouraged, depressed and distracted

The discomfort I felt on Day 11 after not getting enough fuel to effectively complete my workouts or my day left me feeling limp and uninterested in exercise on day 12. It depressed me a bit because I thought that I’d found my achilles heel that I’d never lose weight. Then I remembered that after [...]

Day 11: Left exhausted and hungry

New SparkPeople Nutritional Plan

At first I thought it was going to be daunting to use the nutritional guidance of SparkPeople’s site, but I found it was easier to manage and modify that I originally thought. Even though they give you a menu for the day – if you ask them to – you [...]

Day 10: Just joined SparkPeople a FREE weight loss plan site

I just joined SparkPeople after seeing their link on a fellow blogger’s site.

It looks like a really cool site and may just be the extra push I need (Oh, and did I mention it’s FREE).

After logging in they calculated my BMI (Body Mass Index). At 5’2″ tall and 190 pounds I am officially [...]

DAY 9: Weigh In Day with a Surprise

It’s day 9.  Woo hoo, made it one more day.  Today I actually took my little dvd player (which is dying and doesn’t have a working remote anymore) outside so my little girl could play while I exercised.  The patio boards are old and the paint is worn off so it made for good traction [...]

Day 8 New Workout & I Feel Great

It’s day 8 and I’m still at it even after a day of rest. Today I started on the Slim in 6 routine with Debbie Seebers of Beach Body. I thought maybe I’d have to break it down into 2 workouts throughout the day, but I was able to power through and felt better for [...]
