The Start of something… I don’t know if it’s beautiful but it’s something

Okay so I started training and working out and getting back on track with calories. 

 

The training KICKED MY BUTT.  I think Abbey was trying to kill me (just kidding I know she wasn’t).  But I worked hard on Tuesday!  By Tuesday night I was soooooo sore!  I couldn’t even move… but Wednesday I worked out again!  And I was even WORSE but you know by Friday night or Saturday I was way better.  So it took me a couple of days, but I’m feeling better now as I walk and stretch.  I think that stretching is the best thing I could ever do for myself b/c after I stretched and stretched… my body was sooooo much better.  I know that sounds simple and I don’t mean it simply but I had to stretch a lot to make my body not hurt. 

 

But I have done well of the past week.  I took my day of rest on Friday and man I went WAY overboard with eating and not exercising.  BUT I still lost 5 lbs so it was okay right? 

 

So I’m going to do better this week and not go so crazy on my day of rest.  I’m working out 6 days a week.  Unfortunately my body is going to need that much work to get it looking gooooood and I want to look gooooood. 

 

The best part about me working out is actually getting the kids involved as well.  Lehna has really stepped up and wanted to do the same things I have been doing.  She chickened out on me Tuesday and didn’t go work out with me, but she did work out with me Wednesday and she has been exercising with me when I work out the other days, so it’s good. 

 

We went on a bike ride on Thursday and it was solo hot we were sticky and smelly so we all showered and were April fresh once again.  Then on Sunday day we all went for a family bike ride.  We only rode 3 miles but it was a hard 3 miles.  I have Nikolai attached to my bike so I have an extra 60 lbs that I’m dragging along with me so it was challenging.  The girls and Tait had WAY more energy than I had but it was okay.  I felt like both ways were up hill… however that’s possible. 

 

Tonight the plan is to do my routine again.  I want Tait to join in with me but he may just wait until he meets Abbey tomorrow…  LOL  He is going to doing the personal training with us as well so that will be good for him as well. 

 

I definitely have a goal in mind.  Right now I’m 77 lbs away from my goal.  It’s a bit a way BUT I have to start SOMEWHERE and the best part is I’m not in the 100 range I’m still in the two digits, so that’s a motivation… and I don’t WANT to get in the 3 digits so time to take some names. 

 

I started lose it again, b/c what’s exercise without watching your calories.   It’s really an easy program to follow and It is quite shocking to see just how much that food that you are ingesting really counts.  So It’s all good.  Abbey is really going to help me change my life.  I’m excited.  She was able to lose over 150 lbs so  I know she has been through it and I know I can get through it.  If I lose 70 lbs Tait has promised to take me back to Mexico so that’s the goal I’m working towards.  I can do it!  Come on body and work with me here!
