my ass is too big
I’m back on the fitness track! I started in January with “A New Me” but had to abandon it only weeks later due to a recurring knee injury. Well, I’m healed, got new AWESOME shoes (reebok easytone) that let me walk, dance, whatever for hours without my knee or hip screaming at me! I even got a balance ball chair for the office so while I’m typing this, I’m toning up. Why am I trying to get in shape? Well Conference season is upon us! in less than 2 weeks I’ll be flying to Asheville, NC for Type A Parent...
Well, I weighed in at 121 this morning, so that was good, but I really messed up my knee. I’ve had problems with my knees for a long time. My hip was hurting pretty bad over the past month and I found out it was because my knee cap was slipping. I have my big knee brace on now, but am ordering a patella stabilizer so I can get back to working out! For the next few days I’m going to just try to work on abs and drinking more water in the day and hopefully by the time the...
So, just like I thought, I’m already slacking. I did my sculpt workout Wednesday, weighed myself at 121.6 WOOT! That’s 3 lbs down! Yesterday I was so sore from the previous days workout that I skipped it all together and opted for wine vs. exercise. Today I will double up my workouts as soon as I log off the laptop in a minute. I’m doing abs and either cardio dancing stuff, or maybe the treadmill, I can’t decide. I’m still loving the Brazil Butt Lift DVD’s (I got them cheaper on ebay in case you are looking for them) but...
Well I’ll be damned, this working out stuff actually works! I wish BeachBody was paying me for pimping them so much. LOL But the Brazil Butt Lift DVDs are actually lifting my bum! 8 days in and not a huge change to my diet still, but I’m trying to at least give 75% effort. And if you know me and my hate-hate relationship with exercise, that’s huge! My weight/measurements were all the same today as yesterday. I am going to try to not look at those again until next Monday. Today I only did 15 min of the Cardio DVD....
So yesterday was my “free” day. I still did a few squat’s just ’cause I felt like a sloth just laying around all day. I haven’t done my workout today yet, but hoping to soon. I finally got to ship the kids back to school so I was enjoying the quiet and mostly kid free day. I did weight myself this morning and did my measurements, so here is where we are after 1 week… My starting point was: (12/28/10) weight 124.6 waist – 28 hips – 35 thighs – 21 Now I am: (1/3/11) weight – 123.0 (woot! down...
Day 5. I cheated and measured and weighed myself. I shouldn’t have. I’m the exact same. Not one thing has changed except me being tired more and hungrier. Boooooo. DH keeps saying over and over that I shouldn’t expect to see change so fast, but I’m a girl who likes instant gratification. I did more of my DVD’s but got bored halfway through, so only 15 min of cardio sculpting or whatever it was. I think I’m going to switch it up and do some wii dancing and wii fit later. The hula hoops always kick my bum. Tomorrow is...
I didn’t want to work out. My hip was screaming in pain last night, so much so I could barely walk by bedtime. I took some motrin and forced myself outta bed today. After well checks for the kids and leftover flu shots, we headed back home and I shoveled the walkway. I used the snowblower for the driveway (after our neighbor did most of it for me with his new Christmas toy – THANKS!!!). So I counted my shoveling as my upper arm workout. After lunch I wanted to take a nap but sucked it up and did 20...
Okay, whoever says the “like” working out is a sadistic liar. It’s day 3 and I’m sore in places I didn’t even know I was working on! I’m starving all the time and tried to stay on track but these damn salt & malt vinegar chips keep calling my name. I guess you want to hear about my progress for today. I only got through 10 min of the Brazil Butt Lift Bum Bum DVD this morning. Chewy was driving me nuts and I was tired and sore. I made up for it this afternoon getting in 10 min on...
Day 2 isn’t over but I wanted to write a quick note to say that I did 30 min of cardio! Only lasted 10 min on abs but will try to do another 10 later today. Breakfast was cereal and only half a cup of coffee. Lunch will be a salad with some hard boiled eggs. Dinner will be tough as DH is working through so usually the boys and I do pizza. I’ trying to cut back on dairy, so I’m going to try the recipe I just posted with the French Country Chicken. Anyone else starting their New...
Today was a productive day. I did a ton of cleaning, a million loads of laundry and got a 30 min cardio workout in. I did the “Brazil Butt Lift” work out. It was interesting to say the least. I think I need to find my Suzanne Somers books and go back to her plan. LOL She’s a lot easier on me than this latin man with the hips gyrating all over my screen. As far as food, I did okay. Coffee for breakfast (old habits die hard), oatmeal for lunch, few chips with black bean dip for a snack...
