Well kids, I lost my accountability when I stopped talking to you. SO SORRY!! Now I am heading into the Holidays and needing to lose weight, NOT AT ALL WHERE I THOUGHT I WOULD BE WHEN I WAS POSTING IN MARCH! Well I am not going to focus on the negative, leaving the past in the past, the ice cream with the empty containers, the pizza boxes in the recycling container, and dessert for breakfast, all left behind. So needless to say the last 6 months I have been busy, not just eating, promise! 🙂 I actually got into decent shape over the summer, by end of July I was seeing bikini’s in my near future…then I blew out my right knee, couldn’t jog anymore, in the middle of training for a half marathon, and lets just say it was the straw that broke this camels back. So I sulked, and sulked some more, then I ate, and ate some more and kept saying I would get up and work it off in the morning…well getting up and working it off in the morning is easy when your single, not so much when your daughter wants your attention and your husband has to work early and late. So it has been getting put off until now. I have had a few other somewhat hectic things going on this year that emotionally set me back and now here I am right where I started. 164 pounds with Thanksgiving and Christmas on my horizon. Not a perfect picture but dammit I LOVE a Challenge! SO I am DETERMINED to lose 10 pounds (without some weird cleanse diet thing) by Christmas. Here is what I have going on right now:
School – Tues/Wed/Thurs 7:30pm-9:30 pm
A NUMBER of Christmas Parties and the like starting next week
Vanessa’s 1st Birthday on 12-14
Thanksgiving in New Jersey
Origami Owl Parties and New Business (new page coming soon for you to check out)
In between running my house, business, and managing my school and social calendars I am going to post some fabulous food items and my workouts with weigh ins at least weekly. I am so sorry I abandoned you, but I am back and with a vengeance this time! 🙂 I am studying to be a dietitian and frankly this is a great place to start! I know what it takes to eat right and maintain a healthy active lifestyle. Unfortunately I have this little fat kid inside me who thinks its all bull and I should be able to be lazy and eat what I want. Don’t we just wish! I have my boxing gloves on but I need your help with my accountability. So tomorrow we are forecast for 70*, I plan to get up, write my grocery list for the week, make a turkey soup and probably a yummy salad (tell ya all about it) for dinner, and me and Vanessa will go to the park where I will walk at least 2 miles, followed by sit ups. I hope to hit the park every day this week and swap arms and abs every other day. 🙂 Send me your encouragement, your fitness regime, and your diet tips. Please note I am not cleared for jogging yet, nor can I put strain on my right knee, so no squats/lunges and such for now.
Goodbye 10 pounds in 2013!!
You need a hula hoop! Perfect for burring cals (400/hr JUST with waist hooping!) without straining your knee 🙂
