Hey girls
I had a very busy day today and didn't have time to workout I had to skip today.
I also had a REALLY STRONG craving for something salty so I had a small amount of chips and queso I know it's okay to have small indulgences but I will be stronger next time
mrsj2013 The shake tastes very good! You really taste the fruit Give it a try.

BTW!!
Tomorrow is my weigh in day!!
I haven't been very hard on myself this week I think, so I have no idea if I hit my first month goal of loosing 10lbs.
Lets hope for the best

Missed my weight lifting workout yesterday so plan on doing weights this morning and walk/jog tonight. That way I still get in what I had planned. I am also considering finally trying C25k since jogging is finally getting easier for me.

I weighed in this morning ladies and I HIT my 10 lb goal!!!!
Wooohoo I'm sooo happy! Next month should be 20lbs. Won't stop until I hit 60!

Congratulations loriherdz

Did both my workouts today. I am doing great with exercise but not good with dieting and I have a lot of weight to lose. Need to find a plan I can stick to that is a lifestyle change and not a diet.

loriherdz-Way to go! Your plan is working. You go girl!

Emma4444-I agree with you about the diet thing. Making a lifestyle change that is not a diet is hard. I've had good luck in the past with using portion control and really just cutting back. I've found that cutting out things I crave all together just leads to a binge out. Everyone is looking for the cure. I seem to struggle more in the winter and you girls are helping me through it. Posting in my blog seems to help too.

We made it out for a good hike in the desert today. Part of it was straight up a dirt bike trail. I'm always pleased when I can do something like that. It is a gorgeous day and the dogs had a good time, too.

Today I walked 30 minutes on the treadmill. Tomorrow my plan is to lift weights but no treadmill. I need to find another exercise I enjoy to rotate with the treadmill and walking outside.

I missed my weight lifting today. Not enough hours in the day I won't be lifting weights until Wednesday now since I need to do day 2 of C25k tomorrow.

mrsj2013- Did you start using a pedometer yet? I finally bought one but still need to set it up.

Ladies I did half my Zumba today I actually felt super sick. I had to stop and just rest. After about and hour of resting I decided to do my resistant bands workout for my butt, back, and arms. I got a GREAT workout from that. I plan to wake up pretty early this morning to do the rest of my zumba that I didn't finish. Then after work do my Zumba Toning video.
Keep pushing ladies!! <3

I'm going to join you ladies. I work out with a personal trainer twice a week 30 min sessions. I love going to it. I just started with Tanya about a month and a half ago. I have already started noticing a difference with stamina. I need less breaks and I went through yesterday's session and I didn't even realize the session was over til she told me. Lol I was disappointed. My problem is sometimes I just don't want to work out except those two days. I need accountability.
Today I'm just sore from yesterday. So my goal is at work to walk my unit 10 times (I work a 32 bed unit hospital) and take the stairs each time I would normally take the elevator.

Welcome Skinnygirldreams A personal trainer will definitely keep you accountable. I would love to have a personal trainer myself but am to scared.

loriherdz- Good for you to stop your workout if you were feeling super sick. You should always listen to your body. Sounds like you had a great workout later

Today I did day 2/week 1 of couch to 5k and I just wanted to quit. I did finish it though. The entire 30 minutes I kept telling myself I like walking so much more than running. I am a wanna be jogger/runner but looks like I may just stay a fast walker. I can easily walk 4 mph and when I jog at 5 mph I only walk at 3.4 mph to just catch my breath. So in the same 30 minutes I end up traveling the same distance I am going to give it 2 more weeks before I decide if I just want to give up jogging.

Emma4444-I tried my pedometer again but it quit working. I think it's time for a new one. I checked out C25k workout. I am not a runner/jogger so this seems a little to intense for me. A fast walk is enough to play me out!

Skinnygirldreams- Welcome! It sounds like you are finding a way to enjoy exercise.


I've had a busy week. Lots of cows having baby calves these days on the farm. Building muscles with all the chores in the barn. So glad to go to work at school today for a break. Came home and still had more work to do...too tired to take the dog for a walk. I will make sure we go tomorrow. We are suppose to got more snow on Friday!

thanks Emma
Welcome Skinny!!


Emma keep up the walking. I really enjoy it too especially with my doggy.
Walking and running is great way to buld stamina. I'll try it on my days off too.

I did my toning video today but I still felt bad that I didn't complete yesterdays routine. So I did the remainder of yesterdays and my resistant band workout. I felt like I was burning my butt off lol at the very end I always scream then laugh :P

Managed to fit in upper body weight lifting already. I love weight lifting. Wishing I wasn't so scared of a trainer because I would be so into that. Will do day 3 of week 1 of couch to 5k tomorrow. Not so excited about it though but I know I can do it.
