Where are my tata's going?

Well, I haven't seen much progress in the weight loss department when I step on the scale, or even when I put my pants on! But one thing I have surely noticed is that my 'girls' are shrinking away as I type! Why is it that it has to start at the top and work its way down. I didn't mind having the extra cleavage! But now there is barely a handful! oh well, makes for cuter shirts, I guess! My birthday was yesterday and my husband surprised me with a gift card to get some new gym clothes! I'm super excited to head out to get some new duds for the gym...hopefully in a few months I can talk about how my butt has finally shrunk away as well! Have a great long weekend everyone!~

Well, here I sit disappointed, that I am working out more than ever this past few weeks, and the numbers on the scale are going UP!!! I know that I shouldn't worry about the number, but for me it becomes an obsession, I just want it to say a nice number one day!! Why is it, that I know all the rules about working out, yes I am gaining muscle, but really why cant that jelly roll in the middle of my body just start shrinking a little bit faster.

Ive started going to a kickboxing/boxing circuit www.30minutehit.com , it truly is fun and an amazing workout. I feel great every time I finish, and the sweat is pouring off my body. And two days after going, my calves are still reminding me I was there. I am kid and husband free this weekend, so after my oatmeal, I'm off to kick some butt this morning. I know I just have to stick with it, and it will come....but the wait....ugh....not so fun!!!!

Have a great weekend everyone, after working out, Ill be painting the deck, that aught to give me a good arm work out as well!

A Lightbulb Moment

I have always struggled with my weight, yo-yoing between a size 10-16 my whole life. Losing 30lbs, gaining 30lbs. Trying everything from WW, to the cabbage soup diet, even resorting to the LEMONDADE DIET!!! Blahhhhkkkk....Id lose a few pounds here and there but I always seem to go back to the same bad eating habits.
Ive been working in the healthcare system for the past 4 years, and have seen how being overweight has contributed to so many peoples illnesses, and diseases. I thought the weight would come off easily after my pregnancies, but that has been the farthest thing from the truth. For some reason since 2009, I just havent been motivated to do anything about it.
But now I am ready, I have always been some what active, but then again some what sendintary as well. But now that the scale has not budged from 195 since the birth of my daughter 18 months ago, and my clothes are all fitting so tight, I want to get into ALOT of the smaller clothes that are and have been hanging in my closet for a long long time!

I have joined 30 Minute Hit Boxing and Kickboxing Gym for Women this month, and I LOVE IT!!! I want this to be my thing. I want my kids to be able to see that their mom is healthy, and fit. They might not be too happy about the food changes in the house, because they just happen to be sugar nuts like thier mom! But this isnt just going to be for me its going to be for my family.


A new healthy, fit, clean-eating home. This morning when I got on the scale, like I obsessively do ussually atleast 5 times a day on the weekends, I was so disappointed to see the 197 staring back at me in the face! That means now I weigh 2lbs heavier than when I gave birth to my daughter 18 months ago! Im not interested in the scale reading 120 or even 130! But I know that in 2007 when I got married and weighed 168, I felt like a million bucks....so for now, that is my goal....165 by the end of the year! That gives me 6 months to lose 32lbs!

My committment here on my blog is to be accountable for my actions, cut out those nasty sugars that take over my brain, and work out 5-6 times a week, and start clean eating! I need to do this not only for me but for the future of my family having a healthy mommy and role model!~
