Let's do this again!!

So it's been a good long while since I've even updated this!! I was thinking that maybe I should do this again! Stuck between 150-155 and want to get rid of at least 15-20 more. Been doing Crossfit which I dearly love and just started kickboxing! However, I REAALLYYY need to start watching what I eat too:). So here I go again! No sugars, carbs only in morning and no soda..(that will kill me:)) I do have a competition on may 18 that I need to be ready for so this will help!

Lets get it started! 7lbs or 7in and my reward is a facial!!

Newest Pic...

Here is my newset one and still at the same frickin weight! However lost another 3.5 inches and 2 were in my hips so I guess that is a plus:) I'll just keep pluging along!

You know...

You know it's a compliment when your husband wants you to put on your dress so that he can 'help' you undress :)

New Total...

Ish took the picture for me and I appreciate it.. Love the new dress outfit that I got again from EXPRESS...(again love Erik there!!) However, I do need to take it back and get a smaller size:)

Okay so for the past two months I still have been working out again like crazy so I have lost another 2.5 inches but no weight..that's okay I will still work at it and see what happens..

I am doing a challenge with a several others and hope to see a change also with things (no sugar.. eep!!)

Total for 2010

Is there a reason that I cannot get a good pic taken of me? Oh , wait..because my children are freaks! Calder took this one and didn't know how..whatever..sooooooo

Here are my final totals for 2010--

lbs lost-50
inches--35

This is actually a dress that I bought for Haley, and because I fit in it.(it's a little big in the waist/hips area..and to be fair it would have been big on Haley also) ..it is mine now. I can also tell you that I thought I would be happy at a each (oh i lost 20lbs I'm good..etc..)I am not.

I AM VAIN

Always have been, just now I get to work a little harder to achieve it. I love to look good and LOVE LOVE LOVE being able to shop at Express, (those that live in NM, the Express in Cottonwood and see Erik..HE ROCKS)and being hit on by 26 year olds doesn't hurt either:)
I get a lot of ..'Oh my gosh, I didn't recognize you!'..Gotta love that! But how sad that I was that big to begin with:)!

I still want 10-15 and then tighten with weight training. It will take me a while to do it, that's okay. I will see where my body stalls and when I am not eating as much as I want to or what I want to then I know I need to pull back. As for now, let's just see what happens:)

5 more pounds gone!

Another 5lbs..my personal shopper at Express (which I love and now that can be there again) helped me pick it out..He's AWESOMEEEEEE! I still want to lose 20lbs more!!

Loves to all...

40lbs and 30 inches

Can you believe it!! We were going to dinner with some friends and thought I would get the pic taken! I am so excited. Chris actually said that he 'can finally tell im losing weight' REALLY after 40lbs..Whatever!

I have been training clients like crazy and also teaching spin, I am tired and I have two clients that finish up at the end of the month so I can have some time to sleep!

I still have about 10 to go although I would like to drop another 15-20..We will see I just love food to much not to eat it though!

For all of you who are keeping it going! Dig Deep and continue, its way worth it!

Look At Me Now...

I Know I look ticked off...This was the 3rd one that I had to take because the kids kept jumping in front..soooo ther then that..here is the NEW TOTAL

Down 25 lbs and 25 inches..Which is CRAZY GOOD..however I still need to lose..SO it is a slow process. I am down to where I wanted to be before Hawaii and that is good..

I will keep updating on my next goal...

I know!!

I haven't been able to keep up with this for a bit BUT..I will be updating in a few days! I do want to let you all know that I feel so much better and I fell better in my clothes also. The crappy thing is that after kids your 'fat pockets' aren't in the same place as say ...they were before the kids or even after the first, second, third kid..So I have to work a little harder..



It's a comin though!

A TOTAL OF...

Just wanted to write and let all know that since January 1st, I am down 27 inches and 12 lbs.

The sick thing is that I had an extra 27 to lose!! And I still have more to lose.

However, I get to throw all my 'fatter' clothes to Goodwill, and I get to start wearing some of my more normal clothes.

Since this last time I did lose the 5 inches that I wanted, not the 5 lbs..I still get to reward myself; so I will be downloading some more songs that I want and i will let you all know.

My next one again is 5lbs or 5 inches..and my reward is those workout shoes that you see on TV. I know sketchers has some, Kohls carries them. I will have to do some research and see which ones will work better.

Also, since I am certified in personal training (and have been teaching classes and have some clients) i think that I am also going to get certified as a sports nutritionist. It will be a bit but those who know what PB stands for in the church, it says that I will be proficient in the culinary arts. That cannot just mean the cakes/cookies/pies etc.. that I make; it can also go to more of the healthy cooking that will benefit my family as well as myself.

SON OF A B..

I measured today and am down another 4 inches and 2 lbs..Not so bad considering that it has only been two weeks since my last measurement/weight. I do wish that it would come off faster..wishes, wishes, wishes

So now I have still 1 inch to go or 3 lbs until my next download of music. And I want so bad to have different music to workout..my 500 songs as of now just doesn't cut it:)

I do really enjoy the teaching the ladies at the church. I do two weight/strenth training classes a week(paid in blessings) and that forces me to do the exercises also. As well as a couple of PT clients that I have picked up..

I will measure again soon....

MY FIRST GOAL!!! DONE!

OKAY---So I lost 11 lbs and down 15 inches (main loss was the hip area:)) This is taken right after the shower so I still look scary..BUT it is starting to come off. I am so stinkin excited.

My songs that I picked were:
Lady Gaga --Paparazzi; Pink--Funhouse;
Cobra Starship--Hot Mess; Black Eyed Peas--Meet me Halfway;
Uncle Kracker--Smile; Beyonce--Single Ladies;
Boys Like Girls--Two is Better then One
Micheal Buble-Haven't met you Yet
Lady Antebellum--Need you Now, I run to You

Now that I have my first goal out of the way, my next goal is 5lbs/5inches..I know smaller but it is a little harder with phase 2 on south beach but I can keep going now...

My next reward is another 5-10 songs..Weird I know, but most of the songs that I need to work out to need to be found in the non-explicit category...I know, I know I can work out to different music..NO you can't you need music with a beat and that can get you going...

So ANYWAY..I will let you know in 2 weeks what happens!!

YEAH ME!

Holy .6!!

Just as another update I am .6 from my first goal of 10 lbs. I won't measure my inches until Monday.

I went to lunch with Chris, Lubs and Harper yesterday and we went to the Elephant Bar. It was good. I was starving and the Creme Brulee with the chocolate cookie crust and then lavender, saffron and candied ginger crystallized on top LOOKED so flippin good!

However, I had a burger with no bun (obviously) Chris and Caleb AND Harper had sweet potato fries and their lunch. Whatever...

I know that Weight Watchers mantra is Nothing tastes as Good as Thin Feels. I think that they are liars. I love looking better and feeling better, however those people have never had a dinner from Valentino's in Vegas, a room service grilled cheese and tomato basil soup from the Hyatt in San Fran or even the hot chocolate and almond cream beniets from the Grand in Disney..SOOOO I like saying..is it worth an extra (or 2, 3, 4) set of lunges? My answer is almost always HELL NO!

Hopefully tomorrow I will have great news!! Tune in..........

YEAH!!! THROW THESE ONES AWAY

So, as I was getting cleaned up the other night for bed...Haley likes to wash her face with me so we were doing that then i changed into my jammies. Well...while I was getting undressed...I COULD TAKE MY PANTS OFF WITHOUT UNBUTTONING THEM!! SO, they are now being washed and going to Goodwill..and I say Good Flippin Riddance

5 days with the southbeach and doing fine, am down 5.2 lbs so that is great, my energy level is much better, and I have actually learned to like horse hoofs OR gelatin, whatever way you want to look at it :)

We also found out that we are going to Hawaii in June. So if that is motivation not to look like a (insert favorite big animal here) then, nothing is!

3 DAYS

Just to keep up to date..I am 3 days into the South Beach. I really do like this one. It is so nice that it helps change your cravings etc..and the belly goes first :) However, not going to lie, I do go to sleep when I am craving something, it makes is easier.

I also thought I was going to go ahead and give up my Diet Cracks (Coke and Dr. Pepper). Then I thought about it again and decided.... NO. SO that one will be slowly after I drink what I have in the house, I won't buy anymore. How is that.!

I am torturing myself with the movies today with the kids..Alvin and the chipmunks..It is more of a torture to go to the movies with them then to sit in the theater with the smell of buttery popcorn and chopping mouths on candy!

HERE WE GO

SO this one is for me. The blog anyway. Let me just set this up for ya! We have 4 children that I dearly love.. and we had our last lovely little baby girl on June 30 2009. All of my pregnancies are total crap! Yes, I said it CRAP. Throwing up constantly, the smells, the being tired, the pregnancy in of itself. This last one with Harper was especially hard for us. Between tears in the placenta, tumors in and on the placenta, constant cramping and ER visits, bed rest, NOT being able to work out it just was crap. And yes, it could have been much worse and there are women who have had worse..As for me this one was worse then the others..

SO I gained weight. I wasn't aloud to workout. Here is how the conversation with my doc went.

Doc K. So there is to be no working out for you

Me- none at all? Not even ball squats?

Doc K. No..you can't do anything that requires the engagement of your core or your pelvic/hip region.

Me--You're kidding..

Doc K. No

Okay so there was nothing that I can do. Before I got pregnant I was certified to personal train, and certified to teach spin, (which I dearly LOVE) lost all the weight from the last 4 pregnancies (we miscarried about 1 1/2 years before we had Harper). And loving the way I felt. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE feeling good about myself, love being healthy, and not going to lie love looking good for my husband and if 'Will Turner' happens to show up, him too (hehehe)

After I had Harper, I still wasn't able to work out until I was seen. I couldn't get seen for 7 weeks. So I was seen and then they set up time for the tubal to 'burn it, cauterized, cut it off' and also to check for the tumors. So they did the tubal and thanks to the priesthood, there was no signs of the tumors ANYWHERE! Yeah!! OHHHHHHHHHH..by the way you are not aloud to workout until 10/21/09. ARE YOU FOR FLIPPIN REAL? yes, again he was.

SO, why workout so close the holidays..Yeah, there's no reason to!

Here is the low down now. I went for a girls trip for my birthday to Disneyland w/my sis.




NOOO!! She is not straddling me. She is crossing her legs, she is just that thin. But to her credit, she was pregnant for 15 months (she lost one also) and after Taters was born worked her butt off for a year to look that good!

So you can tell me that the camera added 10 lbs (or 20, 30, 40 etc..)That I just had a baby. (and I can't use it after the first year anyway) or that technically, I have been only able to work out for 3 months because of all the problems. I know that, I would say that to other women. I AM NOT OTHER WOMEN.. I AM ME!

SO my goals/rewards are as follows:

1. Lose my first 10 or go down a size, and I am going to treat myself to a 10 downloads of the songs that I want. I'll let you know what they are and then I will post an updated pic of myself.


Occasionally, I will update this with thoughts/frustrations whatever.

If any of you reading this wants also that support, tell your story and you will have support coming from my side also..

Love to all

Happy New Year!
