easier and easier

Exercising and weight lifting and drinking water and quitting smoking. In order those are the things from easiest to hardest. Exercising is coming along great. I thought that I would never complete an exercise routine or walk an hour without it hurting. But we walked an hour yesterday with our dogs and kids. I didn't start hurting until about 20 feet from my front door. So today I wanted to be super woman. We walked an hour and a half. It was great. I never felt better. And I got in two workout sessions. Tonight before I go to bed I'm gonna hit the bowflex. Well good night and happy exercising to everyone Rainbow

Beating myself up!!!

I know that we aren't supposed to beat ourselves up if we mess up. But I can't help it. I have been on target since we started. And now when things get a little difficult I turn to food. What is wrong with me???? I know that it wasn't the smart thing to do. And I could probably have eaten carrots or cucumbers or an orange. But no, what do I go for??? The ice cream and brownie sunday. Then I got up and had a sausage egg and cheese croissant. I had to sit myself down and have a conversation. I told myself that I can't beat myself up for that. It was just an accident. So, I did triple the workouts in one day. Then I doubled the next day. And today I was back to normal. Hopefully soon we will start jogging with my sister-in-law and her husband who just applied to be a sheriff. That should do me some good. Well enough for now, weighing myself in 2 days. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up!

Day15

Wink Today is my niece's birthday. She wants us to come over for cake and ice cream. I can avoid the ice cream but she will be heart broken if I tell her I don't want any cake. Especially since she got cheesecake because it's my favorite. Maybe I can take a bite and then give the rest to one of my kids without her noticing. She's 11 today. I can't believe how fast kids grow. It's crazy. Not drinking sodas isn't as hard as I thought. Now it's natural instinct whenever I want something to drink I go to the water bottle. The biggest loser DVD's and books are really helpful. I can't wait to try out a recipe. Tonight will be the first night. It sounds like a good one so if it is I'll post it on here. Enough for now, gotta go :)

Wow day 12

Ok so day 12......so far so good. I haven't varied or cheated on my food or plan at all surprisingly. Until.......last night we were helping my mother move and we had Ledo's Pizza. And the sad part is there is a Subway right beside ledo's. I could have just as easily gone into Subway and gotten a sub. But with that behind me now, today has been good so far. Billy is making me sick. He can tell me exactly how many calories he has eaten at the end of the day. And he is a natural walker so he could go for miles. I on the other hand have to stop every 10 minutes to rest my legs or to catch my breath. It's getting easier though. I guess the more we do it the easier it gets. And I got the Biggest Loser Books today. The Calorie counter, the cookbook, the fitness, and the other one. I'm excited. I can't wait to read them and plan out meals. Tomorrow I'm going to get a stability ball. With only one income and three children to provide for we can't afford a gym membership. But we are trying to find other ways to exercise. I would love to be able to go to a gym though. Ok enough for now. Write soon.

First Weigh In

Ok so we weighed ourselves today. Billy got on the scale and he said yes! I said what happened? He said look I lost 4 pounds. I was like great, men usually lose more than women and we had been eating the same things and no exercise. Yes I know, how terrible, no exercise. But I quit drinking sodas and made the adjustment in our eating habits. And we bought the Biggest Loser Workout DVD's. So exercise starts tomorrow I promise. So I get on the scale and......I LOSE 7 POUNDS!!! I can't tell you the last time I weighed myself before this whole thing started. But I am excited to weigh myself once a week now. Just from cutting out sodas and watching what I eat I lost 7 pounds. I am  beyond excited! Today is a good day.....so far.
