Back on track!

This week was alot better then last week. I learned a one thing on the way, I don't really enjoy lean cusines but they work so I am going to stick with them until I can't take it any more. So this week I was down two pounds which is good from where I was last week. Also one thing I always think about when weighting myself is what I ate the past week that could of made that number go down even more. For example my first thought was maybe if I haven't baked cookies then I could of lost three pounds or if i hadn't eaten two mini donuts it could of been more but being a cops daughter (stereo typically I know) I just can't say no to donuts they are amazing and I love them so don't judge! Also I really believe that drinking 64oz a day of water is really helping me I don't know how but it works. Also the stationary bike seat is to small and uncomfortable for my butt so I hope by the end of this weight lost maybe it will fit on the seat. I can't promise anything but it is a goal. Now some motivating quotes because I can!



Other then that life is going well. We moved in with my parents this past week and it has been nice. My dad bought this cool air conditioner thing that goes in the window and let me tell you it is amazing! Also this week we had a sleep over with Tracy family because her husband was out of town and it was alot of fun. I am hoping tracy had fun as well. Also last saturday I took Jill to ride a horse for her birthday. She got on the horse and then some one asked her if she was excitied? She said "Not Really" can you believe that kid! So I told her to get off then she got excitied so below are some pictures that I have enjoyed this week

It was a bad week...

As commisoner of my weight lose program I have decided that there are some weeks that just don't count for you or against you. This week is one of those weeks. It was a mix between eating out and being to tired to exercise that just led me to not weight myself this morning for the fear of what was going to look back at me. So I have decided that this was my lazy week and its time to get up and moving again and get motivated. So last week doesn't count but this week it is my goal for not being tired get the best of me anymore. I saw this and loved it.


So starting after work it is a new week and its going to be a great out come. I have recently found this website that is just some quick exercise tip and motivating says and I love it and saved it to go back and use some exercise tips from there and I thought I would share it will you all maybe it will encourage you as well.

** So sorry to be a disappointment to myself and others this week but there was not weigh in today but next week I will strive so there will be some improvement.

Also to help with my wieght lost I have decided to purchase a jump rope. One because who doesn't love a good ole fashion jump rope and two I need something extra to do at home.

So tune in next week.

Weigh In Day and nutrition calculator

I either love fridays or hate them  one reason it is the last day before the weekend and they just drag on and you think that the work day will never end! but I love them becasue it is almost the weekend! Today I am going to choose to love them, becasue I have plans after work that I am excited to get to! Dinner date with Tracy and her family and my husband. It is going to be amazing. Side note: We are going to chipotle for dinner tonight so I thought I would try to be good so I went on there calorie  counter. (NOT GOOD) all the diet article say if your going to go out always check what you should eat first online. And I have to say if I didn't want the sour cream or the guac or the cheese it wouldn't be that bad but I want them all. My decision is to try and only it half and take it home but we will see how that goes because once you start eating there is not stoping! Don't ever add chips that just makes it ten times worse. The address is below if you want to see how healthy your burrito is.

 Today weigh in went well nothing like last week three pounds but it was close I lost two and I am happy with that. I have been eating better and drinking lots of water so much that I have given my self a headache once or twice by it ( which I didn't know was possible) but I am glad that there is still progress which mean I will do it again for another week. Thirty minutes a day thats all it takes and adding in some weight lifting and your set accept don't do to much or you will have jelly arms the next day like I have them now.

Finally just something that brings a smile to my face my husband sometimes goes on trip and gets free stuff like stress ball and cold drink holders. This morning he gave me the below present and I think it is so stinkying cute! Its a stress ball helmet and its little.

Week one -Check

So I finished week one! I was a little concerned about this week because at the beginning I had eating out a bit but I tried to choose wisely when selecting what to eat out. I exercise every day but Sunday and Tuesday. I even lifted weights which is not as bad as I thought but to be honest I am not very good at it I have to get my form down. I had Jake watch me do it to make sure that I was doing it correctly and not bending the wrong way. So today was weight in day and I kept telling myself if nothing changes I am just going to give up and be happy with where I am. I guess I can't take that road becuase I have lost three pounds this week which is good I think. It also means that what I am doing is actually working so I need to keep going. So next week it is going to be the same thing 30 mintues of working out mostly every day and healthier smaller portions.

Pounds lost :3

Total weight : 147

One week down and one to go!

P.s I had a taco salad this week homemade by Katie to die for! So good! Thanks again!

Day 1

So I did it, I got up this morning at 5:30 and I went running/walking. I came home did 30 crunches and 30 push ups. I feel good right now but I am worried once lunch time hits that I might need to take a nap! So the first day is done. Now to the second, I am hoping it will be easier then the first but that is wishful thinking.



Day one:Weight 150 (I don't want to see this number again)

I can do it!

Recently I have put on a little weight. Maybe it is the freshmen fifteen hiting me my senior year or maybe it is marriage, every one says you always get heavier after you get married. I didn't think I would ever have that problem because I have always weighed around 135 my whole life. But recently I have put on an extra ten or so pound and let me tell you it is not my favorite. So starting tomorrow it is time to exercise more and watch what I am eating. I am not going to go crazy but I am going to try simple steps to help me. Ps this blogs is one of the simple steps. They say if you make it public that you are try to loosing weight people will ask you about it so you will feel more obligated to do. I didn't put it on facebook because I didn't want that many people to know just my sisters who read this and maybe some close friends who happen upon this post.
So, Simple Steps to help other then running/walking every morning.
1. Drink more water ( Time to invest in a big water bottle)
2. Try to cut down on egg and dairy (They say cheese is every ones weekness but I will try to be strong)
3. Cut down on sweets. I didn't want to say I was cutting them off completely but maybe just less the intake.
4. More yogurt when it comes to snacking
5. It says to take up a hobby so you are not just sitting watching T.V. and you wont think about cravings. As of yesterday I started to make a skirt so that will be my first distraction.
Finally during my walk slash running it says you will help your calorie burn if you walk, run, sprint and repeat, we will see how well that goes.

Starting tomorrow is day one. My goal is to lose ten pounds by August 1st. So I will weight in tomorrow morning then check it every Friday maybe I will post the weight maybe not. Wish me luck and hopefully I don't sleep in my first day
