WEigh in day



Alright ladies and gentleman!! It's weigh in day 1 for this Bikini Body Challenge group and I'm actually pretty excited to share my stats. I will say that my measurements are hard to really quantify because i still have nothing to measure them with but visual is still pretty cool.....

This first week was full of all kinds of struggles (as I'm sure you're read) but I started to really catch on towards the end of the week. Best part was that I had enough sense not to over eat at our company BBQ yesterday! It was awesome!.. super proud of me for that one. I will admit that I may have had a couple beers.... so yesterday wasn't my healthiest eating day. But look at me!!!! (I'm pretty sure a lot of the loss is from water weight... i used to have a pretty high sodium diet before and Aunt Flow was in town... not a good combo btw).

Anyway... DRUM ROLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!


So... having looked at these one week results, I think that I will hit my goal and be able to fit into my dress for the photo shoot and also lead a healthier, happier life.

Now if you noticed, I titled this WEigh in day... that would be for a very good reason. I did that because I never would have made it this far without the support of the challenge group, my coach Alex, and my friends. 
Together, we can accomplish our goals. Together we can help each other make good, healthy choices.
WE can do this!

Adult Life

Today is all about not wanting to be an adult!! As my wonderful friend and coach said today, "why can't I just spend all day working out and cooking instead of being an adult!?" Well put my friend. Well put! Today was full of less than fun adult stuff, like getting up way too early for any human being to be even getting up to pee, working 11 hours, running around like a maniac to pick up my 6 year old and feed her and get her to swimming lessons, plus squeezing in my own workout while at the gym, then getting home, putting her to bed, trying to get some bills paid and clean up the kitchen a little, feeding every animal in the house (there are a lot), getting them all to go potty, trying to get more bills paid, rsvping to birthday parties and graduation parties, trying to plan out the rest of the week in order to make sure at least one of the thousands of major projects for the house get done.... I'm sorry, I've completely lost my train of thought because ...

Harder Than I Thought

Let me be the first one to say that I seriously struggle!  I truly enjoy living IN the moment, which means flying by the seat of my pants whenever I can. I struggle with meal planning and I HATE preping for a week in advance. It just doesn't seem practical for me.  My biggest struggle right now is my workout options . I face two difficulties with my running.   1. A safe place to run long distances that is close to home. This is a particular problem because I currently live in an area where it is mostly backroads with no shoulder or busy main roads that (while they have a shoulder) make me nervous to run them at certain times of day. 2. A good time of day to run . I would get up early to run but it's too dark to be running on these unlit back roads. I would run after work but as a mom, there are a million other things to do. I have laundry, dinner, dishes, cleaning, and by the time I just get through making dinner it's now starting to get dark and i'm ...

No More Resolutions

res·o·lu·tion ˌrezəˈlo͞oSH(ə)n/ A firm decision to do or not do something. So every year we all make these crazy resolutions to make us "better people" and some make realistic ones while others seem to be reaching for the stars. But this year I am resolving to not make a resolution. Now don't get me wrong, I am still going to strive to be a better person each and every day, but a resolution is setting yourself up for failure. We are not perfect and old habits die hard... why do you think so many people buy those gym memberships in January and then stop going by March? It's because they are expecting themselves to have magically flipped a switch and never mess up. But again.. we are not perfect! We were never intended to be either. So instead of making a crazy resolution to lose weight, work out more, eat better, watch less TV, spend more time with family, blah blah blah blah blah.... I am going to set myself up the right way.  Instead of making m...
