I start the gym again today

So I have not been doing anything as of late!!! Tonight I am taking my fat butt to the gym and for the rest of the week too. I am going home to visit a friend at the very end of this month and I am hoping to drop 5 lbs. Shorts and tank top weather is almost here and I still do not feel summer body ready. Hopefully I will kick ass again and start to drop my weight!!!

So its about 2 months in.......

And I am not doing as great as I had hoped but am still doing OK. I have been a slacker the last few weeks. My son has had a rough month and things seem to be finally getting back to normal. Since I started I have lost about 15 pounds which is totally fantastic I just wish I had dropped 5 more pounds. I know I know it is good to have shed the 15. I am thinking about taking a trip with my friend to Key West... thinking about it. Of course with that comes the time to wear a bathing suit AHHHHHH!!!! I have one from last year which I bought at about 30 lbs heavier and it fits some what but not that great. It is a little saggy in all the wrong places. SO hopefully I can find myself a nice tankini that covers all my flaws and accentuates all my positives.... well at least makes me look less saggy. The other ladies are doing really well too, I am so proud of all of us. I am hoping that the weather gets better and this freezing temp gets sooo much higher. Warmer weather always makes me work harder cause well I have to wear less and show way more skin that I like to. So wish me luck and tell me to get my ass in gear!!!

Almost two weeks

It has been almost two weeks since my bet has started and I have lost about 2-3 pounds. Which I have to say totally sucks!!!! I know the slower the better but come on. I guess I can not really complain, in the last month I have lost 8 pounds. Actually I think all us ladies are doing pretty good... we totally rock lol!!! I had a bad weekend and eat some junk but I guess I need a little treat once in a while!!! I thought I had packed some weight back on and it bummed me out so I was down and did not workout on Monday. Nevermined the fact that my day just bit the big one. I was a total BIOTCH and god I needed to just crawl in bed and sleep for 100 years.
I am however much better and and glad to be happy me in stead of going to the darkside lol!!!! Hopefully I can drop another couple pounds this month.
My side bet did start this week. So we shall see if I kick butt or not. He is a bit of a slacker so lets see what happens lol!!!

I am feeling pretty darn good....

So last night I had my hubby get out a box of clothes that had been put away for more than 2 years. Mostly pajamas and t-shirts, but a few pairs of pants and they fit or are a bit too big!!!! Totally made my night. I am feeling pretty good about myself. I have been really good about going to the gym and trying to be good about eating. I am however getting very bored with my choices in dinners. I am as some of you know easliy bored and distractable. I need some yummy ideas for healthy dinners and I am picky and hate everything. So for those of you reading this help, I need some ideas.... anything. Tonight we are having chicken which I eat a-lot.... like at least 3 times a week. even though I am bored I am still trying to maintain my healthy eating. It helps that I do not buy any junk food that I may want to eat. I am seriously a huge snacker. I was dying for some Doritos or Pizza Rolls yesterday. The fact that I did not go right out and buy some was a great thing for me. Cause really I would have really liked to lol!!!!

One week down 23 more to go......

So this first week went by pretty quickly. I drank in the New Year and still did not gain any weight woo hoo Momma!!!!! I lost about 2 pounds which is great for me. I have lost 6 pounds in the last 3 weeks which is awesome considering I went home and pigged out for the holidays!!!! This week begins my normal schedule though. Meg goes back to school and Barrys hours will be more regular. Hopefully I will be able to stay awake past 8 to go to the gym. I have been helping my other competitor out too by watching her kids so she can work out while hubby is at work late. I need the competition to be fair and if she can not go to the gym or work out then it is just not competitive and I truly need it to work. I am thinking that us three ladies need to meet up once a month to talk about our progress and to help step up our game. I I know that someone is winning it will put me into overdrive and help me to be triumphant lol!!!! Plus I want the cash at the end of the bet so I can go and get me a new tattoo(up above)!!

One another not my side bet starts in one week and hopefully I will be down about 2-3 more pounds if I work my arse off this week. This bet has more embarrassing consequences. The loser has to take the other out and the winner gets to decide where they go and what they have to wear. So far we have been fairly nice to one another and have not been outlandish. This time though I was told I would have to look like a hooker well not really but wear a dress and heels and if you know me that is like the worst thing I could possibly have to do for no reason. Plus I would not want to dress to the nines and go to McDonalds for dinner or something.

One day down

Ok so yesterday was a good start. I worked out for a half hour in the early am. BOY am I still tired!!! The I went to the gym and did just 45 min. I felt great afterwards though. I do have a side bet with another friend that works month to month. We will most likely not start it until the 15th though because his work schedule is whacky 4 two weeks - workin 12 hour days and then come home and help with his kids. So I guess I will cut him some slack.
I put up a weight loss ticker so everyone can see how I am doing and watch my progress. Hopefully I will do really well this first month. Most likely it will just be water weight but I am good with that. The less of me the better lol!!!!

Day 1 God I hope I can do it

So today is the first day in my quest to be thinner and more healthy!! Having two children has made Momma a fatty. It is ok they were totally worth the fat lol!!! Megan is now 5 and is sooo big I can not believe it. Brady is two and he is a lot of work, all his medical issuses and hospital stays have not helped with my stress eating. Today though I feel confident in myself that I can do it. I started before we went home for Christmas and I did really well. The week in Massachusetts did not do too bad on my belly. I was pretty good and did not eat too much crap I even walked on the treadmill a few times. The picture on the left is me going to see a show on Dec 11th. I do not look to awful but I hate how I look. I felt ok until I saw pictures and you know that kills me everytime!!! SO I am starting a biggest loser type thing with 2 girlfriends and we have 6 months to drop as much unwanted weight as we can. The Biggest Loser gets the money pot at the end. Hopefully this will motivate my butt into gear.
