Weigh in Wednesday and mini challenge

Today was the first time that I've stepped on a scale in 68 days. I knew and was fully prepared for a HUGE gain. To much surprise it was only a 9.9 lb which averages about a 0.14 lbs a day. I don't think that's too bad considering it's been 68 days. Now I know what where I need to start and what needs to be done to get back to were I was. Within the last 68 days I have watched what I've ate during the day but I've also enduldged in ice cream and had some grownup beverages and with the enduldges I knew there would be a gain. I'm actually not that upset about this gain because it could have been a lot more of a gain... Which is really what I expected.

Pic will be added later since I'm on my tablet now.


I made it to the gym today. A little later than I wanted but I made it and I did 4 miles in 22 minutes on the stationary bike. Not a bad time for just getting back into the swing of things. Tomorrow its time to hit a weights in the morning.

Here is a mini challenge for you. Are you ready?
Eat a piece of fruit with every meal. Most people don't think about having fruit with meals except breakfast.. try it today with breakfast, lunch, and dinner! If your really wanting a challenge have a piece with your snacks too. Good luck and don't forget to check in to tell me how your doing with the challenge!

Warning: Contains Venting!

I get so frustrated when people say "this isn't working" "i'm not losing anything"...etc. We have all heard those words and may have even said them ourselves. (i have!) But it's the ones that sit there with a big.mac in one hand and fries in the other saying that! Well now when you have 1300 calories in one sitting while your not doing any type of exercise (other than everyday activities) IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK! The ones that want that simple pill that will make all the fat away. I don't understand. Life is not simple. Why take the easy way out? Why not work for something that you want so much?

I am by NO MEANS saying I am a professional or have not have rough days or even the slightest bit perfect!!! I have and will continue to have because it's my lifestyle not just a diet. If I have a rough day, I realize that I just need to put forth more effort the next day. I just get so frustrated with people complaining but yet they are not putting forth an effort.

Put forth the effort! Watch what you eat. Eat at home. Drink your water. Portion Control. Get out and get your body moving. It will take time and dedication but you have to work for it!

Week 3 - Motivational Monday!

Since my last post I have come to realize the motivation that I was lacking will just have to come back full force. It's time to GO BIG..or go home! Im GOING BIG! I took the first step today to get my motivation back and made it to the gym this morning by 7am! Go me! I am also heading back for another round at the gym today after the littles leave.

So as you may (or may not) notice, I did weigh in today..almost forgot! So I weighed in after breakfast this morning and about 3 hours later then normal. (shame! shame!) So I'm not sure how accurate this weigh in will be but it is a  -.4lbs so I'm happy with it either way. I am determined to do more then a .something next Monday!

The plan of attack for this week is:

Monday - Gym (7a) & (430p)
Tuesday - gym (7a)
Wednesday - Gym (430p)
Thursday - Gym (7a) & (430p)
