It's Sunday

I had a great workout this morning. Hubby watched the kids, so it is always nice to get out with less stress of carrying the kids along with you, plus I got to go to the gym earlier than the Kid's Club opens. I can only sign up for Body Pump 30 minutes before it begins, so I got there and set up my gear, signed up and then went to see how far I could run in those 30 minutes. I ended up running 3.1 miles in 26 minutes. Then I did my class. I feel energized and great and ready to really work hard this week and get to my goal of 7 more pounds gone before my final weigh-in. I've come to realize how tough it is when you have less to lose. Your body doesn't need as many calories, so it does come off slower. I'm determined though and will make it happen! :) Here is me today with my 18 lbs off so far.

A Semi-Break

Hubby worked late last night, so slept in this morning. And I had plans to take my daughter to see her first movie at a movie theater, so no gym this morning. I'll try and get a run in tomorrow morning before Body Pump. I did get some kind of work out done though. I hoed the weeds from the flower beds and raked a million leaves this afternoon and hauled them away. So at least I didn't just sit around all day. I do look forward to hitting up the gym in the morning though without a kid in tow! They are staying home with Daddy!

A Loss

I was so happy to see a loss this morning after a dissappointing week. I'm down one more pound for 18 lbs lost so far. I made it to Body Pump class too. I missed warm-up and squats, but got the rest and then did 30 minutes on the elliptical. Then I ran and pushed the kids at the park this afternoon too. Time for my long run tomorrow at the gym. Gotta keep pushing...a little over 4 weeks to go to my final weigh-in and 5 weeks until the 10k!

Come on, now!

So I'm getting frustrated this week. The scale is not budging. I guess that wine this weekend did me in, but I've been so good otherwise. Maybe tomorrow will be the day. I was very thankful this morning for my friend, Kate to watch my daughter so I could go to Body Attack class. It was awesome and very tiring, but what I needed. I love it! Then this afternoon I took the kids to the park and ran with them in the jogging stroller to get in some extra cardio for the day on top of my cleaning spree this evening while the kids were happy playing. Let's go, scale! Come on, now! Move a little and keep me motivated!

Almost Forgot

I have been so out of it today. Just got really tired all of a sudden during my work-out this morning and have felt lethargic all day. Gotta get to bed early! I almost forgot to blog, but just ran down before going to sleep. Between dieting, working out, and my kids being so fussy and getting in trouble lately, I'm just worn out! I have to keep going though! My deadline will be here before I know it and then I can rest!

I did 1o minutes on this machine I don't know what to call. It works as a stairclimber or elliptical depending on how you move. It was tough. Then I ran 2 miles on the treadmill and then did Body Pump class.

Blah day

It is a blah day in terms of my weight-loss. I have felt kind of out of it yesterday and today and am not very motivated. I'm sticking to my diet, but just feel blah! I hope my energy and drive comes back tomorrow! I'm ready for Body Pump class! Today I did the elliptical trainer for 65 minutes plus abs and push-ups.

7 Weeks Down

5 more weeks until my final weigh-in! I hit it hard at the gym today sweating out that salt and wine I had this weekend. I ran 3.1 miles and then did 40 minutes on the elliptical trainer plus ab exercises and push-ups. I have noticed how much stronger I am and that I can actually do push-ups not on my knees! It feels great! Now to keep pushing and get 10 more pounds off by the end of this challenge! Go me!
