I was bad and totally forgot to blog last week. Life gets crazy sometime!

 

I needed to step up the workouts so I joined Bootcamp at Perry High School. I have a friend going with me ( and I hope she continues). I was of course the biggest person there by a long shot! They were all wonderful though. They really made me feel welcome and comfortable. I gave it my all. There were times I just couldn't do it, but I pushed on!!. I feel great! I didn't hate it like I thought I would. Definately don't want to go back...but I will!!

I made it through to the second half of the competition. I really didn't think that I would. I still had 4 pounds to lose last weekend. I worked my butt of this past week...literally! A lot of people had faith in me and I couldn't let them down...or myself! I eneded up losing the 4 pounds and then another pound and half on top of that! My total is now 16.6 pounds lost. I walked out of Lean Living and I got in my car and cried! This means so much and I just feel so wonderful!

This si the last week to really give it my all. I have 4 pounds left to lose or I am out of the contest :( I admit I have totally slacked. I did awesome the first month but didn't lose as much as I expected and that really effected me to the point that I stopped trying. Now reality is smacking me in the face because I can't get kicked out. That would really show my kids that I failed. I am so afraid that my slacking has ruined it for me. I have no one else to blame but myself. The problem is that if I get kicked out of the contest then I will lose all motivation, Kinda wish they didn't kick you out at the cut off point.

Only 3.6 this time..but it makes my total 11.8 pounds!! Less then 4 more pounds to go to reach my 5% goal. I can do this! I will not fail myself and get kicked out of the competition. Jaime gave me some inspiration and made me happy about my accomplishment. No tears this weigh-in..lo.

I went to the doctors today and since my last doctor appointment (January 8) I have lost 14 pounds!! I have never lost that much weight before (except after having my son). This really has brought back my motivation. I have been slacking lately. This shows that I have still lost weight when I was slacking...so think how much I could lose if I really got back at it again! I am really going to push before I go weigh in on Tuesday (I can't make the Saturday official weigh in). Time to become best friends with the elliptical :)

These past couple of Weeks have been horrible for me..but I got back into it yesterday. I had an awesome workout! I seem to forget how great I feel after I work out..lol. Only have a few more pounds to go to meet the April goal so I don't get kicked out if the program. I really want to meet it for this weigh- in. I have a two year goal..but many mini goals along the way. Not only am I doing this for myself, but I am doing it for my kids. I will ride the tea cups and the Dumbo ride with my little girl in Disney World!!!

I will be honest, I have not been doing so weel since the weigh in. I was so gung ho and all about this the first month. I was so discouraged with my results at the first weigh in that I can not get myself motivated again. I vow to make it into the second half so I will need to get my butt back moving! I have continued to eat pretty healthy and exercise at least once a week. However that is not enough!! I have still lost 2 pounds though so I am still doing something right. Just need to give my self a strong kick in the butt!
 
On a side note I went to Cabanas this week for the first time and had the chicken romano. It was absolutely delicious!! I do apologize to anyone that was there, my daughter was horrible. She is usually great but refused to sit in her highchair and became quite loud :(
