Even the MS heat cant stop me!

Ladies and Gents, I have been working out this entire week for two hours at a time outside in 100 plus Mississippi heat with my son. We have played soccer, baseball, and I have steadily increased my ability to run circles around the baseball fields. I have not felt this good in years, and I am actually jogging around the field!!!! If I could just get my breathing technique better, I could keep going! It frustrates me that I can't! Oh well, all in due time! I am feeling great and reaping the rewards of it! I do not plan to quit anytime soon either! I am loving all this activity and I have no idea what I used to do with all this time when I was enormously obese! haha. Will report back soon!

I HAVE NOT QUIT!

Ladies and Boys, I have officially survived a week of my own "Insanity", P90X and Shaun T's Insanity can't touch what I've put my body through this week. I have spent anywhere from 6-12 hrs a day working non stop in my yard relandscaping, digging, planting, tilling, you name it, I've been doing it. I haven't felt this good since I was a teenager and I'm running out of things to work on outside, which makes me sad! I have officially lost 30 lbs, no telling how much muscle I've gained, and I measured this morning and I've lost 10 inches in my waist and 5 inches in my chest-al area! I feel the difference, I see the difference, and I know the difference in myself. I never could have worked this hard if I hadn't had started this project. I never would have made it an hour outside working that hard, in that heat, if I hadn't gotten myself in shape first. I have by NO means quit. I am still doing light work outs around my outdoor work, and will get back on a heavy work out schedule when all my outdoor work is over. Now, I plan to work outside some more today so I will be back!

I've got my focus back

I could just hit myself over my own head for losing focus this last week, yes, I did work out some, but I'll admit, I have not been bringing it like I should have been. I have had so many excuses, and thats all they were, excuses. I've come too far to quit now, I'm not done yet. I'm getting back on the bandwagon and riding into where I want to be. I did my full disco dance workout this morning, weights, and abs. I WILL be doing my workout tonight too. I go get groceries tomorrow, so will be stocking up on my foods again, the only thing I've cheated on was ice cream thanks to the summer heat lately. I will be glad when my sunburn is gone, I can go swimming again and do some more water exercise, this time however, I will wear sunscreen no matter how cloudy it is. I want to start jogging, but I still have this nagging cough that acts up every time I get too hot, so I wish that would get resolved already. So, get back on the train with me to success and watch me focus and succeed. See you tomorrow!

Jab, cross, and bring it

Todays workout was Kenpo X, weights, and abs. Great workout, I am in so much pain trying to workout with this severe sunburn, my shoulders feel like someone is taking a grinder to them, when I try to flex, I work through most of it, but theres no way to say that it doesn't hurt. Oh let me tell you, and this may be TMI, but I cheated and ate some carbs the other night, and OMG, I will never do it again! I thought I was dying! Thats what I get for cheating for being lazy that night. I have officially learned my lesson! I hate carbs, I don't see how I used to live with eating so much of it everyday, no wonder I felt like I did back then. It's horrible to think of what I was feeding my body then. I don't even look at food the same now. I eat to live, I don't live to eat. Will throw in another workout tonight, and plan to take the kids to the zoo and park today, so I'll be getting in some walking and exercise while with them today. See you tomorrow!

Late night blog, but I'm here

Sorry this is so late, it's been just crazy here this week. I went to the water park and swam all day and did numerous, numerous laps walking around the lazy river. It was a great workout, however, I also gained quite a sunburn! I did workout today, dance weights and abs, got the girls to do it with me, was a little painful thanks to the sunburn, but I pushed through it. Diet is good, not as hungry still which is good. I have my moments where I crave something sweet though, gotta find some good options for that. Tired of strawberries. Anyway, going to bed now will blog again tomorrow!

Water day!

Goooooood Morning! I did my weights and abs this morning, since I'm going to be swimming all day, I didn't want to be sore, and I figured I'd be getting a workout anyway. Going to take the kids to the water park all day. I can't wait! Got some more new clothes in yesterday that I had ordered, and they all fit, even the dress, which I haven't worn a dress in years! Diet still good. Watching the sodium right now, it's so easy not to pay attention to those types of things, but I've never had high cholesterol, always come in low, so I want to keep it that way. I will be having another overall cholesterol, glucose, health check next time I go to the doc. Can't wait to see the results. Anyway, off to get the kiddos ready for today, wish me luck! See you later!

Intense!

Great workout today (and yesterday since I didn't blog, I was in the road ALL day long), but I did do my two workouts yesterday, and this morning I did dance weights and abs. I've got to get back to the P90x workouts as well. I keep adding different ab moves as often as I can. I need to research some new ones as well. Diet still going good, cooked the family hamburgers and fries the other night, and cooked my turkey burgers, with wheat buns, and no side item, with water. Just as delicious. I was stuffed! Planning on goin to the water park tomorrow, so it will be my first swimsuit outing since all this. Wish me luck, I need to get my tan on! Still got a couple of days before I can do my justified measurements. I will let you know as soon as I get those. Plan to work outside today and sweat off some more of this water retention, oh so much fun! Atleast my yard is looking good this year thanks to all this! Now if only I had tons of more money to throw into it. Anyway, I will see you guys tomorrow!
