SIGH!!!!

I gave up on the afternoon exercises because I was too busy running around with stuff.

I did, however, make sure that I did my hour of walking...and walking at a faster pace, so going a little further and more steps...not sure its making any FREAKING DIFFERENCE!

I'm also keeping track of what I eat and hopefully it'll help a bit.

SIGH!  I feel great with all the walking I'm doing and that I'm not eating up to and including the extra calories I could eat based on the walking I'm doing...but I see NO DIFFERENCE in my weight, but some of my clothes are getting looser...and I may need a smaller belt....so I HOPE that something's working and I'm not just wearing baggy clothing thinking that I'm getting smaller (I'm in summer clothes now and I can't remember how they fit last summer).

Yesterday, Mom did mention that I was looking thinner...so who knows!

My weight fluctuates between 124 & 128...so who freaking knows!!!

OOPS.....missed another week

Last week I walked on Monday & Tuesday only...then the kid was home sick the rest of the week....and I caught it ... so, yesterday (Monday, May 5) I finally got to walk again.  Was a little dizzy by the end of it, so took the afternoon off.

I've been really watching what I've been eating still, so hopefully I didn't mess any minimal progress I had made in those first 2 weeks...pathetic.

OOPS....missed a week

Did I really miss a week?

Easter weekend came/went and the following week was busy with errands, so all I did each day was walk in the morning and watch my food intake.

I had a meeting today, so only had time for my walk and not even time to weight, measure etc.

SIGH!!!!!

Week 2, Day 5

Good Friday....means both boys are home, so I did my 60 min walk and that's about it....and probably not much more is going to happen until Tuesday!

Week 2, day 4

So...I did my 60 minutes of walking at WEM

Also did the 30 min aerobic dvd & the 30 min bum exercises...YAY me!

I went on the scale just before I started exercising...which I shouldn't have...should only do that 1x a week...anyway....it claims I'm down to 126 lbs...LOL....lets see if its true when we live through Easter weekend of pigging out & not exercising!

SO...I forgot to mention....Fit, Foxy & Fifty....this year's motto....only achieved the 50 so far!

Week 2, Day 3

Was able to do 60 min walk AND the 30 min aerobics & 30 min leg work stuff

I'm going to do the same tomorrow...rather than wasting time doing sculpt again.

Week 2, Day 2

Well...it didn't happen today.  I woke up with a slight headache, but did my walk.

I thought that after eating lunch that I'd feel better, but the headache got worse, so I'm skipping the afternoon exercise session and nursing a diet coke with a couple of extra strength tylenols.

Maybe tomorrow....

Week 2, Day 1

SIGH....no change in stats....and I was feeling really good about doing all this exercise...and NO PAY-OFF to encourage me to continue!

35.5   - Chest
11   - R arm
11   - L arm
34 - Waist
38.5 - Hips
21.5 - R thigh
21.5 - L thigh
128   - Weight

I did my walk and I did the dvd...which was "scuplt"  today...so mainly arms and a wee bit of tummy (which I have trouble with due to my sore tailbone.

SIGH!!!!

Week 1, Day 5

A little late posting (the computer is acting up...should have a new one by next week...I HOPE!)

On Friday, I did my walk in the morning and did the afternoon exercise, which included abs work...which  I can still feel TODAY (Monday morning)!

The DVD expects 2 days off a week...so it means my weekend is free.  I tried not too over eat...since I didn't have exercise to allow me to eat more...and did not too badly with that.

Back to the grind.....have to weigh in today....think that there will be no change in the stats, but that's ok...I have a good feeling that the combination of 1.5 hr of aerobic exercise, 5 days a week & decreasing chip consumption, will work.

Week 1, Day 4

In the booklet for the dvd, this is supposed to be a day off...there are 5 days of exercises...but since its too hard to do it with both boys underfoot, I'll take Sat/Sun off instead of Thursday/Sunday.

When I woke up today, I didn't feel quite as stiff...still can feel a bit of soreness, but not as bad as yesterdya.   I did my walk in the morning and did the hr session on the dvd.

I'm already bored with the dvd, even though I still haven't used the weights or the bands for the leg work....

Week 1, Day 3

Well, I did it...I tried to talk myself out of it...but I did my walk at the mall and this afternoon I did the 2 aerobic portions of the Brazilian butt lift dvd.

Pretty stiff today....I hope this is going to work and that I can keep it up.

Week 1, Day 2

I did my hour walk at the mall and then did the 30 min aerobics & 30 min leg exercises from the Butt dvd.

My butt is still sore from yesterday, so tomorrow it should hurt even more...those leg exercises were killers!

I am already trying to get out of doing all this exercise....not good, on day 2!

Its hard to get in a hour of exercise in the afternoon...and still get groceries etc.  I'll have to figure it out...I also need time to scrapbook...hmmm.

OK...Week 1, Day 1 2014

I did my hour walk at WEM in the morning and in the afternoon I came home and did my photos and weighing and measuring and did the 1st DVD (30 min)...well...not the full 30 min...I needed to stop and drink water.

Boy...do I ever have a balancing problem...lol!

Here are the deets:

35.5   - Chest
11   - R arm
11   - L arm
34 - Waist
38.5 - Hips
21.5 - R thigh
21.5 - L thigh
128   - Weight

Not great...but not bad...I started this 2 years ago at 144 lbs waist at 39.5 inches...so looking good so far.  Wish me luck...getting a hour of this DVD exercise in every afternoon is going to be a struggle.

WEEK 3 - day 2

I didn't do any exercise on the weekend - tough with people around and tasks to do.  

I weighed/measured yesterday and it claims I've lost 3 lbs and gained 1 inch back on my waist....who knows what is right.  I am still enjoying the exercising...just wish it was easier to do it, time-wise.  Not sure what I'll do in the summer.

WEEK 2 - Day 4 & 5

I was a good girl and did my exercises on both of these days and I'm even looking forward to the exercises now...EEK!

WEEK 2 - Day 3

Yup - made it through Day 3 - the sculpt exercise...WITH WEIGHTS!  I actually went out and bought weights.  I could have got the $2 red 2lb weights...but I hate red, so I got the $5.75 purple ones.  ;)

My shoulders are a little stiff this morning and my ankle hurt...but that might be just my old bones telling me its going to rain...hard to know.

First a yoga mat, then ankle weights and now a set of bar bells...what is going on here?!

WEEK 2 - Day 2

I went out and purchased a yoga mat AND ankle weights....what am I doing...buying exercise equipment?  

I did both of the required exercise routines...and used the included yellow band in the program AND my newly purchased weights.  I hope I'm able to walk tomorrow...and I hope it does some good on my butt and legs.

WEEK 2 - Day 1

I'm still at it - I measured and weighed and the only change was waist - 3 inches...which I call BS on - I must have measured wrong that 1st day...or I was bloated.

Today was the 1st time doing the "sculpt" routine - which was mainly arms and was 50 minutes!  OMG - I'm supposed to be using weights...but my arms were killing me without them.  I don't know how I would ever do that routine WITH another one...because that would be 90 minutes for 1 day of exercise...sorry...I don't have that kind of time.

I left the stats in the bedroom....so I'll post them tomorrow - but really, what's the point - they are the same as last week.

WEEK 1 - day 4 & 5

So, I'm technically done for week one - we were to have a day off on Thursday and Sunday - so that's only 5 out of 7 days...which I have done.- but I exercised Thursday - so that's 5 days.

I may still try to get one in today since GJA will be working.  Yesterday I did the bum bum rapido instead of the regular one and I had to do the tummy tuck one - YIKES, it was a toughie!  I actually feel fatter than ever...great...but I've been reading and others didn't start to see any progress until week 3 or 4...sighn

Week 1 - Day 3

So, I got home around 10:15 from errands, which isn't enough time to do a workout, AND my parents showed up to work on the trampoline.  WOO HOO - they got the 72 poles in place - now we just need to get the net up - we could have tried today, but it was so windy, it would have been harder.

I did manage to get my 2 workouts in though...I did them together, and just after PJ went down for his nap....SO, now I'm were I was last week - except that I'm not taking tomorrow off (like it says to in the instructions, I'm going to continue on so that I can take the weekend off (since is Mother's day and it'll be busy).
