Ok, I know I am terrible at this blogging business. It's been a while but here is the update on how my weight loss is going. So far it has been 2 weeks. I have lost 2 pounds each week for a total of 4 pounds down now. Can't complain to much about it. Especially since I had a couple of bad days in there. I did end up splurging a little when we went to Disney on Ice (which was awesome by the way). And I also splurged at Tiffany's baby shower.
I have other stuff to blog about besides the weight loss, but I don't feel like doing it right now. Hahaha. I know, like I said, I'm terrible at this.

Pump It!
My all time favorite work out song is Pump It by the Black Eyed Peas. Seriously, nothing gets me moving like that song. The second the chorus starts up and they start saying "pump it" I can't help but push as hard as I can and get my body moving :) Just FYI in case anyone needs a good motivator song.
Let me just say that LA fitness (at least the one on Stapley and University) is the best gym ever to work out at. I mean, check it out...
Every cardio machine has a TV on it that you can plug your headphones into. Plus, there are TONS of machines. Definitely the nicest gym I've ever worked out at. Between my awesome work out song and a little TV, time flies by while I get my work out in. Can't complain to much :)

the elliptical is my friend
For a really long time now I have struggled with bad knees. I'm not sure exactly where I get that from but it sucks. All throughout highschool in dance and aerobics I always battled with the pain in my knees. Especially the right one. The elliptical machine at the gym never makes my knees hurt. The last few days I have done at least a half an hour on it. A couple days ago after the gym I wanted to do Jillian Michaels 30 day shred video with Sasha and couldn't do very much of it at all. It hurt my right knee so bad I thought I was going to collapse.
Jayson got home last night at a little after 9 so I was in a hurry to get in my car and get to the gym. I was walking through my garage and slipped on some stupid plastic piece from one of the kids' toys. I fell and where do you think I land.... directly onto my right knee. All of my body weight just crashed down to the cement right on that knee. ummmmm, OUCH! I cried for a minute, had Jayson help me up, dusted off and went to the gym.
needless to say, the Elliptical is my best friend. It's what I'll be doing for most of my workouts for a while. hopefully soon my knees (as well as the rest of my body) will get in better shape and I'll be able to do more.
On another note, I started off so strong the first few days with eating really good. Today, I have had to tell myself to "Put the food down" a few times already. I haven't eaten anything I shouldn't but I was close. It seems to be getting harder instead of easier. Maybe I'm just at a hump that I need to get over. Does it ever get easier? My first real test is going to be Addison's birthday party on Saturday. I love pizza. Like LOVE it. It's probably my favorite food. But, I won't be eating it. It's the salad bar for me.
One day at a time :)

discouraging
Ok, I said part of blogging my weight loss journey would be so I could vent. well... I am so MAD! I weighed myself Sunday morning when I started and I told myself "michelle, only weigh yourself once a week" but I just couldn't help it this morning so I hopped on the scale. The results...
Starting weight: 204
Today's weight: 204.4
Really?! What the crap? I am really mad right now.
1. because I have been doing really good with eating and exercising.
2. that makes me want to give up. (i won't) but i want to.
Talk about discouraging.

Weight loss
Ok, so I am totally determined to get back to my old pre-baby (pre-baby-matthew) weight. I thought that one thing that would help motivate me is if I recorded it all and put it out there for people to see. that way, I will really want to do good so I don't look like a total idiot. I am even going to be putting my weight on here. Which, if you know any girls, is a big deal. I don't usually talk about how much I weigh. It's not exactly something I'm proud of ya know. So, here goes...
Starting weight: 204 pounds
Goal weight: 130 pounds
I want to be at my goal weight by the end of this year. I believe that is a very realistic goal and I may even surprise myself and achieve it before then. Today is Tuesday, April 5, 2011. I started dieting and exercising on Sunday, April 3rd. So far, it hasn't been too bad. I am eating more calories than I'm supposed to a day because I am still breastfeeding. I plan on using this blog to vent, boast, motivate and all around help me on my weight loss journey. As soon as I have someone here to take a picture I am going to take a "starting weight" photo and keep posting pictures as I go.
Wish me luck!!
