six weeks later

Still going strong?

  so this past week my son turned one, that was fun.  i went to the gym three times.  i'm working out on the elliptical machine for the next six weeks.  i had a few "wow i think i'm losing weight"  moments this past week.  1.  i felt more flexible while i was shaving my legs in the shower.  i didn't need to have my leg on the edge of the tub.  2.  i fit in some lawn chairs with having some room, instead of just enough room for my big butt.  3.  my underwear fit perfect, and a few pairs are too big for me.  i'm really excited about this next six weeks, i hope i see some good progress, i have a goal for every six weeks and this next six weeks is to go down one and a half sizes in my pants.  i'm in between sizes and i thought that i just as well should go to a size and a half smaller.  for the first six weeks i lost six pounds, and almost six inches total in my hips waist and bust.  after i post this i'll post my newest pictures, if you ask me they look just like the first pictures and maybe worse, i'm wearing jeans in the picture, which make my butt look bigger than it already is.

week six in a nutshell

this week my husband and son were sick, and i got new running shoes.  i went to the gym once, walked a few times, continued to watch what i ate.  my son turned one yesterday!  well i will be posting  a new picture either later today or tomorrow.  this week i plan to go the gym four times, change cardio machines, and continue to watch what i eat, and walk here and there.  i'm off to a good start, i went to the gym last night.

"that's what i used to think"

so last night i went to the gym, it was soo busy and all of the free weights that i use were being used.  but besides that little annoying fact i had a great time working out, and i had a great time running on the treadmill, i ran for the longest increments yet.  i think because of the weight i'm at i get shin splints, but it could be my shoes, which are new,.  we'll see what happens tonight.  i actually didn't feel like a fat blob running it was nice.

Four days a week, who am i kidding?

this is obviously my update from last week, week five.  i definitely didn't go to the gym four times i actually only went twice.  i still went on walks for at least three days last week too.  so my goals for this week are to just keep doing what i was doing for week five, eating the same, doing the same sorta stuff at the gym.  i'm actually really excited about taking my measurements, weight, and another picture.   well the picture thing i'm not that excited about.  i'm really excited with my progress with my eating habits, i actually like celery with a little peanut butter for a snack.  i'm really excited about changing up my gym routine after this week, i will change my cardio machine, and i think i'll do something with lifting too.  i'm also going to keep a food journal, i'll write about what i eat (amount wise), how i'm feeling emotionally, and what my workout was like that day.  well back to being a mommy.

36" 24" 36", only if you not me

i measured myself this week, pretty scary. but one good thing is that i have been counting calories and it seems to be going pretty well for me. so far the counting calories has been the most obvious change i've made. it feels good to actually see results after four full weeks. i'm starting my fifth week with the hope of going to the gym four days this week. last week i went three times and that's good for me, my husband has been encouraging me to go more often. the beginning of this week has been slow because i got sick for a day and just wasn't going to be able to make it to the gym, but i did walk around all day yesterday at Disneyland. that counts for something right?

what makes me smile?

i hate consultations

so i talked to a trainer at 24hour fitness.  that was the first wrong thing i did.  i think only three out of six times have i had a good experience with a trainer from 24, this one was pushy, and wanted to tell me that if my husband knew how important my goals were he would let me spend $700 on training.  so lame!!!!   well the good thing about it was that he told me some things that i didn't know about, one i'm starting is going to be counting calories.  i really hate the thought of that but if i ever want to lose some weight this seems to be the one thing that should work.  i'm also looking at getting a trainer too, not with 24 though.  this week so far i've gone on two walks with my son.  both at least three miles or so.  i will go to the gym tonight.
