Boot Camp - day 5

Just a quick check in before I have to get kids up and going. Today’s Skye’s first full day of Kindergarten. Sean has a dental appointment, so he’ll be missing school (he’s getting a filling, I think the novacaine will probably be more than he can deal with.)
This morning started with a backed up toilet. [...]

Boot Camp - day 4

I’ve steeled my resolve to see this through. Yesterday’s events were the last straw. This is it.
I started today with my 3 mile run. You can read more about that HERE (I seem to have a superhero theme today.) Then did my 30 minute Biggest Winner DVD and didn’t die. Miracle. At which point, my [...]

Boot Camp - day 3

(Totally me btw! Yeah, riiiiiiight!)
Yesterday ended on a positive note. I had some grilled chicken breast that I cut up and dipped in barbeque sauce. I also took an Advil PM because I haven’t been sleeping well. Boom! Lights out and I was dead to the world until about 10 minutes before my alarm went [...]

Boot Camp - day 2

I ran this morning!! Yay! 3 miles SOLID (no walk breaks needed!) I blogged about it in more detail HERE.
So I forgot to mention. Did I have any Coke Zero yesterday? Why no I did not. Did I miss it. NO! I KNOW! Shut up, right?! I am totally shocked too! A total addict like [...]

Boot Camp - day 1

Instead of posting my daily stats here, I’ll be updating my Boot Camp page every 10 days starting with today.
The weekend went really well. I didn’t exercise at all (gave myself a mental and physical break) but I did a TON of housework Sunday including furniture moving and I got a pretty good workout from [...]

Less than 7 hours to Boot Camp

Today didn’t go as I’d hoped or planned. But as the saying goes, Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans. And that’s exactly how it went. I was supposed to be sound asleep by now. I’m going to be lucky to get a solid 6. I did get my pre-planning done though. Clothes [...]

Gimme a Break

Weigh in: 163.2
I’ve decided to make today a non-exercise day. I just need a break. I think my body needs a break. And it’ll help me gear up for Monday aka Day 1 of Boot Camp. Today I’m going to make my grocery list and tomorrow will be the shopping. With the kids starting back [...]

On winged feet

Weigh-in: 163.8
A more accurate picture would have been one of a chicken with it’s head cut off, but not really the imagery I’m going for on a Friday afternoon!
Today has been crazy day! I’ve been in the car since 8:30 this morning, running errands, going to appointments, paying bills, etc… My 16 year old is [...]

Awful Tower Inspiration

Weigh-in: 164.6
OMG - this is by far the most gaudy, heinous piece of jewelry I have ever owned. I am in LOVE with it!! I found it at Claire’s yesterday on Clearance for $1. How could I not buy it? There was just one and it was practically screaming at me! Now I have the [...]

How Un-Egg-Spected!

Weigh-in: 165.2 (down almost a pound, how awesome is THAT?!)
So, it seems that eating a ginormous omelet is the key to weightloss! Ok, so there’s a bit more to it than that! Like the fact that I divided up that omelet and ate it thoughout the day. So the fact that there were a days [...]
