Weigh in!!!

I am down 1.5!!! Yahoo!
Bonus: My waist is down 1 inch as well!
Of course I woke up with a chest full of gunk, my ears and nose full! Plus after I weighed in and ate breakfast I had to take a BM. If you know how it goes a bm could be a whole pound!
Ah well it's better than a gain! I'll take it! Yahoo!
Now I need to get my booty moving and use my gym membership. I think since it's so cold out (17F) I will wear my gym clothes there, shower and change. I love that they have blow dryers there too!

Subway...eat fresh and lots of salt!

OK so I feel really bloated right now! All I can figure is it had to be Subway. I had a 6 inch turkey with honey mustard, cucumber and tomatos. woo cal pack Sun Chips and one of their klow fat brownies. My panys have felt lose all day and now tonight really tight around my waist!
I felt really good about my location choice for dinner but if it's packed with salt that wont help my weigh in tomorrow!

Goals

I decided to start pointing through Weight Watchers. I am not going to the meetings. I always start and then stop going. I'd rather do this at home with all my internet friends.

So Starting today 1/11/07 I will be getting back into the swing of things for pointing. Last night we put the points on everything we bought grocery shopping.
Officially I will begin 1/15/07 and will have a weigh in for then
My Points Target= 28
Along with that I am doing Vivid Weightloss's 21 day Challenge
1/11-1/31
1) 2 fruits and 3 veggies a day
2)Drink between 8-12 (8 oz) cups of water a day for a total of 64-96 oz. (should be easy with my 32 oxz Weight Watchers bottle)
3)Log my intake daily

PCOS Issues: My obgyn called and informed me that I shouldnt be drinking milk due to the hormones they inject into cows. So strating form here on out I will be taking calcium w/ vit D supplements and drinking Organic milk (it says right on there they do not inject their cows with growth hormones) and not eating dairy products that dont say other wise.

My mini goal is to drop 20 pounds by March 5th.
I would like to be in Onederland by May 11(my step daughters 10th b-day). That would mean 23 pounds in 9 weeks. It has been 4 years since I have been there!
My by summer goal is to have dropped 64 pounds putting me at pre TTC/PCOS stress weight!

I know I can do this. I just need to keep the exercise going!!!!

Day 2

I did 25 minutes on Ellie today! Yay!!! I decided to try out the weightloss cycle on it and I love it!!! I tush is feeling the burn!

I need to stick to it!!!

So here I am. I kinda fell off with all the holidays. As like everyone else here I am getting my booty together in the new year!
I am going to be making 1 resolution for now. Just because in all the years past I make a huge list and never stick to it.
So this year I will start out with one thing and then add when I think I can.


So number 1: I will get on Ellie at least 15 minutes from Monday-Friday.
Tnis is a huge task for me...

Happy New Year!!!

Meet Ellie

UGh I am so mad that I always forget to post on here. I havn't been really good at posting at either of my blogs. But I am not giving up on it!
I have been so busy. But I am back in full force. I dont have much time to post about it right now though. I am heading out to a huge Christmas craft show with my Aunt in few minutes.
I'll just leave you with a pic of our new toy!
This is Ellie:

Been Busy!

I have so been slacking on updates!
I'll blame the gym...lol!
No with the recent birth of my niece, going to the gym, Kaila's tennis lessons and softball I just haven't had time to post on here.
I have however been very good with going to the gym. The trainer told me to do only 15 minutes a day of cardio. I stuck to that for a day...Then kicked it up to 45 minutes. I know what I can handle and have had no problems keeping to that. This week I only got to the gym 3 times. I am not upset with myself at all. We had 2 softball games after work so it was a no go. I could have gone on Friday but they are way too busy and I plan on that being my day off. I do want to get there at least 6 days a week though for cardio.
On Kiala's days for tennis I go walk around the track (it's around the football field) 3 times at a steady pace..Plus I go to the gym later. I have been doing my strength training as well. She has me doing a lot with my arms, a few for my abs and my legs. I guess it's for beginners. The first day I was sore the next morning but it's not so bad now. I even have myself doing more reps than she suggested. 6 weeks from the day I started I get re-evaluated (measured , weighed) and they give me a new strength training plan. I am supposed to change my cardio daily between: treadmill, recumbent bike and elliptical but I have been doing trdmill. The elliptical I can only get in 5 minutes! I am dying by then. The recumbent is too boring. It's also not a smooth ride. I figure once I get my cardio built up I'll give the elliptical a try again....

Strength Training...Check!

I got my strength training program all set today!
Boy there is this one thing that you lean over and let your top part of your body go down and up. I was petrified of falling over. I guess this helps get your back muscles going. Hopefully it will get rid of some of my back fat!
I was 10 minutes early to my appointment so I did that on the treadmill. Then afterwards I did 55 minutes. The time just goes by so fast in there. I watched Discovery Kids on the TV...LOL!
Now I am gonna go in the pool with D & K.

Going Good!

So I have been to the gym everyday since I joined. I had my first meeting with a trainer on Tuesday. We did my measurements..ugh that was awful. But I hopefully will never see those measurements again. I will be re-measured in 6 weeks and I know they will be down!
Wednesday I had my second appointment. At my first I picked 3 machines I would like to do my cardio on. Tredmill, recumbent bike and elliptical trainer. At my second they showed me how to work them. Now you may laugh but I am so glad they did! These things have so much info you have ot put in. You should put in your weight because a heavier person burns more calories than a lighter person. Yeah so everytime I do cardio I get to plug in my weight..ugh! And they told me not to fixate on my number...how can you do that if you have to put it in on a dialy basis? So she had me do 5 minutes on the teedmill..after 3 mins we check my heartrate. We used the machines tool for that and after 5 minutes she showed me how to do it on my neck. I didnt realize (or pay attention in the past) that it's good to check so you know if you are in fat burning mode. For me at my weight I should have 19-54 bpm. On the tredmill going 2.8 I was at 26 bpm. Then we went on to the bike....I still am not sure if I liked that. It's not a smooth ride...but I was a 28 after 5 mins on that. But there are TV above to watch so that is nice. I went on the tredmill (if you have a radio they have certain radio stations for the sound on the big tv's on the rumbent you are close enough to hear) and recumbent on Monday and watched the whole episode of Big Brother All Stars and didn't realize I had been moving for an hour! Then I went on the elliptical trainer! Now that sucker is crazy! After being on it for a minute I was sweating buckets! I had forgotten my towel so my short around my kneck was soaked! My bpm were 36 on that baby and I forced myself to get through the 5 minutes on that! Then she showed me the stretches to do. Dave laughed at me when I got home that night...said I looked like I had run a marathon.
Yesterday I dod the tredmill for 15 minutes and then went to the elliptical. I wanted to get through the 5 minutes without crying in my head. I got through it and probably lost a liter of wate rin the priocess! Thank God I remembered my towel! I plan on testing my cardio abilities on that one daily. I have an appointment to get my strength training program with my trainer tomorrow. I cant wait to start that! My trainer told me if you do strength trianing you burn more calories sitting down than soemone who just does cardio. You only burn calories while you are doing the cardio. Good to know! I dont plan on stepping on any scales till my 6 week measuring day!

I'm a Gym Member!

Well I did it I joined a gym!!! I have always said I could do it at home but my butt just doesnt do it enough. My little sister joined a gym down the street from here and I got to go with her on a guest pass while she was there. It was very nice. My sister had already told me about a 3 month plan they had going on so I was all set to dgo that route. The Trainer I sat with does her job well! She has all this energy that just passes on to you and makes you want to go go go!!! So we sat down and figured some stuff out. If I joined for the 3 months summer special in 3 months I would have to pay the same amount to join again and do a monthly payment.Which would be silly! My sister got an amazing deal plus her insurance covers a lot so she only has to pay $12/month. My insurance covers nada...that bummed me out. But after I had given her my address she got way excited! They were running a special for their grand opening for customers who lived close by! Bingo I live right down the road. So I got 50% off!!! So I paid the downpayment (with help form my mom:Thank you mom!!!) and every month the rst will come out in small amounts. There were 2 plans to chose from...it would have only been $22/month but if I paid $29/month I would be a premium member. Making it so if the gym ever raises their prices I won't have to pay that increase...plus at next years renewal I would get 50% off for the year again...making it so I wont have to pay a downpayment and only pay $24/month. Plus I am a premium member for life. So if I ever leave for a year I still rejoin at the same price! Plus if I ever get hurt/pregnant and my doctor says I can't exercise they put a freeze on my account with a doctors note till I can start coming back in!
So I am an official gym member!
