Well, I’m done with my morning workout………Today was another hard one…I don’t know what’s up…But, I’ve had to really push myself this week…I guess Thomas took more out of me than I thought…That and the fact that we have some uninvited people that came into town…Just invited themselves to stay here for a few days……They were like…we had to come here for business and thought we’d stay here you your place………………….In my head I’m like “WHAT THE #$%*!....And, of course I didn’t want to be rude and just say NO! you can’t stay here….They had all their luggage already on my doorstep!!!!.I mean Jordon and I have a 5 bedroom 3 bath home…We have the space but, they could have at least called and asked us first…I wouldn’t just show up on someone’s door step without calling…So, since they’ve been here I’ve not gotten in the bed before 1am………Sunday can’t get here fast enough!…Well, thank you guys for letting me vent…..I feel much better now…Not as good as I’d feel if they were gone but, hey I’ll take what I can get!!! Have A Great Weekend Everyone!!!

I’m late blogging today…b/c I felt ugh this morning..I did not want to get up at all…So, once I finally rolled out of bed at 11:30am…I just went straight to working out…I really, really didn’t feel like it but, I did it anyway…I would have been just fine laying in bed all day…But, that’s not going to get me off this plateau  and, it’s not going to get me any closer to my goal….So, “Not” working out was “Not” an option!!!…Hopefully later on when it’s time for my evening workout I’ll feel better than I do now…Anyway guys have a Great Day!

~You can’t change your weight until you change your way of thinking~

I’m happy  to report I’m guilt free this morning!  Last night I got in all my workouts and I’m also done with my morning workout for today! So, I’m feeling pretty good right about now…:-)…I’d be even better if “Thomas” was gone but,………I think he’ll be around for a few more days..:-( Oh the joys of being a woman...lol…Have A Great Day Girls and Guys!

Good Afternoon Guys!!! Ok I have a confession……….…………Yesterday I only worked out once!….Here I am on a month Plateau…and I only workout once yesterday!!! What was up with that??? Don’t ask me b/c I can’t tell you…I don’t know what happened to me….Even though my ankle is hurt I’ve made it my mission to workout twice a day..No matter what…and yesterday…I only worked out 47 pitiful mins!!!…I feel so guilty..lol..I know…I know!!! that sounds insane but, I do…So, I had to come on and confess…Even if no one reads this particular blog…It feels great just to get that out…Today I will do much better…I’ve already gotten in an Hour of Cardio for the morning…I”m going to do another Hour this Evening of Cardio and 30 mins of weights…Then to finish it out with some Pilates…Then maybe my guilt will subside…..I’m feeling a little better already now that I’ve gotten that out……Have A Great Day Guys!!! and Thanks for letting me vent my confession..lol..

Hi Everyone!…I’m back home from my Weekend Retreat!….Jordon and I really enjoyed ourselves and it was (SO) nice to go away and get out of town…Not to mentioned being waited on hand and foot every min of the day…Massages and all the special treatment…It was “Perfect”…It felt so great to get into the pool and move my legs!!! I didn’t want to come home…lol…But, Jordon has to work early tomorrow morning…So, we came home today…Now, the reason I decided to go away in the first place was to try and do something different to shake up my routine and try and break this plateau…Well, after giving 100% this weekend…eating…cabbage, salads and just really, really light healthy foods…thinking…My plateau will have to break now….right???…………………….Ummm Nope!!! I get home and guess who’s waiting on me like a few hrs once I get here….Fricking “TOM“… can you believe it??? I was like are you kidding me??? So, since he will be here 5 days…I know I won’t be able to lose anything for Jo’s June Challenge…But, I’m not too upset about it though…b/c I did enjoy myself this weekend and…I did lose when I did Angie’s Challenge…..And, I have lost a total of 65 lbs so, that’s nothing to sneeze at…Maybe next month I’ll lose something…:-) For everyone who has lost something this month Great Job Guys!!! I’m very Happy for all of you!!!…Since I’ve been gone for a few days…I’m going to go and catch up on everyone’s blog!!! Have a Goodnight everyone and Have a Great Morning…I’ll be back on to blog tomorrow evening…

Well, it’s official..The Weekend Retreat Is On!!!...lol…I’ve been packing all night…I’m so excited…..We leave tomorrow morning at 5am…I just wanted to come on and let all you guys know….Everyone have a Great Weekend…and I’ll see you all on Monday…

I signed up to participate in Jo’s June Challenge and wouldn’t you know it my body chose “this” month to hit another plateau…I’d really like to lose something but, I feel like not being able to do anything like walking or running is really hindering me....Yes, I’ve remained very active while my leg is healing but,..last night I was thinking…Maybe (If) I tried something new…I could end my plateau sooner than later….So, I’ve been looking into Weekend Retreat Packages…A place where we can go to relax and also a place that has an indoor pool so, that I can really work my legs…Even if I only lose 3 lbs this month at least it would be something....I just want to shake up my routine a little to give my body a little wake up call…So, if things workout..We will be leaving tomorrow morning…I will let you guys know as soon as I find out…

~Failure isn’t bitter if you don’t swallow it~

Last night Jordon and I went over to some friends of ours and..OMG!!! I was faced with some really bad temtations…and ugh…I have to say I really, struggled within my self…I didn’t let anyone there know but, I was thinking…just one bite won’t hurt...or…maybe a few spoons of this will be ok..…Omg!!! They had like all my favorites…Homemade Mac-n-Cheese, Sweet “HIGH” Carb rolls…Just every fricking thing you can think of they had there…And, It smelled Soooooo Good…lol…But, I’m Happy To Report...All I ate was baked chicken,  lettuce and tomatoes with 0 carb thousand island dressing!…I resisted all the bad foods...Jordon and I didn’t get home until 1am..I was glad to be back at home in my comfort zone…lol….After the night I had resisting temptations…Once I finally dozed off to sleep...What did I dream about but, of course food…I dreamt that we were back at the party and, I ate a plate of bad foods and once I was finished eating I was so dissappointed in myself…Like why did I just mess up my perfect streak of staying on track???…And, my dream felt so real…lol…I can not tell you how good it felt this morning when I woke up and realized that it wasn’t real….Yesterday was a challenging day for me but, I prevailed!!!

~Nothing Taste As Good As Thin Feels!~

This is my weekly weigh in day and I’m still at the same weight…So, I think it’s safe to say I’m at a plateau…But, that’s ok…b/c I know that to have real permanent weight loss…I have to have the mindset in thinking…I’m in this for the long haul….I know the scale will go down eventually and until it does..I’m not going to get upset and pout about my plateau…(which is what I would have done a year ago)…But, not this year…This year I have A More Positive Attitude…I’m in a better place than I was then…I know I will lose this weight…And,….I’m going to do what I do every morning…and Every single day…Stick with my Exercise and eating plan…Everyone have a wonderful day

~Dieting is a New You Resolution, Not A New Year’s Resolution~

This morning I got in a Great Workout!!! We did 1hour and 30 mins of Tae-bo…Then 30 mins of weights …And, to finish it out…45 mins of Pilates!!! After all that working out I was starving!!! So, Jordon cooked the most delicious breakfast… Egg Whites with a sprinkle of Cheddar Cheese, A few strips of Turkey Bacon…and, my favorite…Strawberry-Stuffed French Toast!!!….We ate out on the Patio and it was perfect…The weather is just right…I love these kinds of mornings!!! Well, I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend….and here is something for you all to think about this weekend…
