New Toy!!!

So my husband and I decided we needed to gte some dumbells. He has been lifting weights while he lays down on the floor in between commercials. He has one old dumbell that is 10 lbs and in the other hand he holds my 2-5 lbs dumbells. Yeah not so safe. So we got ourselves a set of those dumbells that you slide across and select the weight you want. No not the Bowflex ones. Nice but too much for our pocket book. So we got the Reebok ones. You can have it set from 5lbs -25 lbs. I am off to go find a routine to start off with. I have the Power 90 Sculpt DVD that I could do till I do.
Here's our new toy:

Getting Healthy!!

So I decided it's time to get my weight under control. I always get psyched this time of year. Ever since I went off Metformin (last year) my weightloss has stopped and I gained back what I lost while on it and eating healthy. My husband has been dropping weight like a faucet dripping water down the drain. I can't let him get sexier than me! LOL! Nah I just need to see that I need to do this for myself. I have always been told losing 10% of your body weight can help flip PCOS symptoms. I get really close and then boom fall off. I need constant motivation. I need to set a plan in motion. Make a schedule. With school, work, Kaila and Dave barely home during the week it doesnt leave me much time. So I just need to schedule everything in and show myself where I can find 'ME' time for exercise. During the summer I walk and swim a lot with the kids. But that is normal. I need to add more to my day. So I am hoping to sit down and get a schedule to put in my elliptical and extra walks. I have the food part down. I have lost 11 pounds and can feel the difference. Now I just need to up it a notch. Exercise is not only what you need to lose weight but it also keeps your head in the right place.
Anyone that needs motivation or would like to be my motivation I am game!!!
This really helped motivate me today:
