Wahoo!

I was 190.8 this morning which is Overweight, NOT Obese!!!

I am so excited, but you know my first instinct was to celebrate by going out to eat. Aye-yai-yai....

Today's plan - walk, yard work, zumba, swim.....

Dinner last night was really good - took reduced fat crescent rolls into 4 rectangles, spread on laughing cow light swiss, two slices of turkey.... rolled them and baked them....
Yum.
Add to that some of my daddy's guac- one avocado, 1/2 roma tomato, some chopped green chiles, lemon juice - as a dip for carrots...
Yum.

And yesterday I hit my goal of three workouts, really did 4, but 2 were short... that zumba though kicked my patootie - fun though :)

I'm baaaack....

I think I'm finally able to face you again, oh weight loss blog.... It's been a long, emotionally frustrating year and it is finally summer!
To make a long story short - i had no success losing weight this year until the last few weeks. I rejoined myfooddiary.com and started working out 1-2 hours a day. I still wasn't losing weight and so turned to my cousin Holly, a dietician. She helped me adjust what I was doing and lo and behold, I immediately started dropping the pounds. I am now at 191.6, from 199 where I hovered forever.... Best of all, I feel GREAT. I have so much more energy and am working hard.
Note, it's summer and I'm keeping the boys in daycare so I can focus on getting myself healthy. I'm sticking to between 1400 and 1600 calories a day (I was eating too few before, one of my big problems), eating as much "caveman" food as possible (not packaged, processed food...). My goal is to do 3 seperate workouts a day. I have joined Idaho Athletic Club for the summer (won the membership in a silent auction) and there am doing lots of swimming, cardio, weights, and various classes. At home I am walking, riding my exercise bike, and doing various videos. We also bought EA Active Sports for the Wii and that is a butt kicker as well....
So the goal is ... 6 days a week, 3 workouts. Ideally these would be around an hour each, but I realize that won't happen every day, so the goal is just doing three seperate workouts... I also will eat within my caloric range 6 days a week, with one day more to confuse my metabolism. I also have the goal to eat healthier foods and to feed my boys healthier foods.

For example... Today (weighed in at 191.6 - which is 30.0 BMI and when it drops any more I won't be Obese!!! so close)
woke up, ate Kashi GoLean waffles with applesauce
walked 3 miles with Brian and dogs
Water and yogurt
Zumba class (1 hour)
leftovers for lunch
almonds for snack
not sure what for dinner - maybe chicken burgers...
30 minute weight loss yoga dvd, EA sports 30 minute workout....

and then housework, yard work mixed in there....

so off i go :) wish me luck....

So....

I'm avoiding again- awful I know! I gained .2 last week. Not awful, but not great. I've just lost the drive- need to find it so I can wear REAL clothes. This has got to be my week. I think it'll be good- pray me on!

Oops....

Wrote that last post on the wrong blog.... funny!

In the area of weight loss - I'll just hide the cookie under the keyboard and pretend I wasn't eating it....

Check me out~!

Why am I so cool?

Well,

I can sit all by myself!

I giggle, and smile, and melt my mommy's heart!

My brother is entranced by my every movement!

I'm 6 months old already!!!

yee-ha!

2.2 pounds, yo! Not the biggest loser, but happy all the same! Seems it was a good week for just about all of us- too cool! I walked after school today, but not going on the bike- want to SLEEP. My allergies have taken over my poor nose...
So when do you suppose I'll be out of these stinkin' maternity clothes??
