It's going...

Just an update.  Evan and I are still doing the 90 day work out.  There are some "rest" days that are scheduled and we do that...however have come up with an issue.  We always are out on Friday and Saturday nights.  Therefore, we usually don't want to come home and work out.  Which brings up a problem. It would be more of a 5 days a week work out.  I might be okay with it.  But I feel like i'm cheating the system. 
But overall we are doing it.  I just have to get back into the swing of thing with eating right. 
I am currently back up to 175...results from having an aweful last month in eating. I feel so disgusted about it, but I am getting back on the proverbial wagon and running fast!
I am also, just me, going to start doing a couple of extra work out things because I really want to start getting the rest of the baby flab off.

Supreme 90 Day


I have roped Evan into doing something with me!  Hoping in doing so that we can both benefit from it and keep eachother in check.  Please Lord hear my prayer that we NEED to do this!
We are going to start the Supreme 90 day tonight!  I bought it at Walmart and you have to buy an exercise ball and small weights with it.  But it was only $19.99.  And it is a complete program that gives you the exact DVD workout to do each day.  It does also come with a nututional play with a shopping list and everything.  However, we are going to just do better with our eating in general and do the workout.  and hope that it works. 
  I am going to also do before/after photos & measurements at starting, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days.  I'm excited to do.  Now, I have to do the commitment!  Which is tough for me.

old times

This post has nothing to do with weight loss or DIY'ing.  I am listening to Pandora. Love. to an easy listening station.  It's mainly acustic, piano, and michael buble type of stuff.  At the same time, looking at facebook and friend 'stalking'.  With the piano music and looking at photos from people from the past I felt like I was in a movie.  Replaying old times past in my head with this soft theme song playing in the background...very Forst Gump feather flying through the air-esque. 
Evan and I were talking the other day, and I often ponder, where would I be if _________ happended differently?  I know that my life today comes back to many different things of how I got here.  My life story goes something like this in a chain:
Grew up at Grace Lutheran Church, left church because of the crazy new miniter, started going to First Christan Church SM, mom (against my knowing) signed me up for summer church camp after freshman year, fell in love with camp, fell in love with the new people i met, feel in love with B, had a crazy on and off relationship with B, high school, graduated high school, went to TCU, broke up with B, youth sponsor at University Christian Church, dated Cad, broke up with Cad, youth sponsor, camp adult, met Evan while a sponsor, started dating Evan, eventually married Evan, work at Stockyards Station, live in Fort Worth, have a baby Jack!
I've never done that before...really traced all of my steps.  It doesn't seem like too many, but so many memories at the same time with all of those inbewteen moments.  The piano music is still playing, now with Jason Mraz.  Love again. 
My first love is what always pops into my head when I'm listening to certian things.  B.  But I feel like it was doomed from the start.  I think we loved eachother (I know at least how I felt), but it couldn't work the way that we each wanted it to and in HS, forget about it.  But today.  Today is good.  Today I have a great life, a wonderful husband, and the most beautiful and amazing little boy.  He is now the absolute love love love of my lift. 
Going back to "where would I be it _________happend different"...I don't know.  But I know that my life probably wouldn't be as good as it is right now.  Now Norah Jones is singing.  And another memory montage is playing in my head.  and a smile seems to find it's way through magically.  It's one of those moments, where I'm just waiting for that certian song to play that just seals off the memory lane visit.  You know that song I'm talking about.  That song that all you need to hear are the first two or three notes and you just melt into the past.  From a high school memory, love, friends, or whatever it may pertain to.  Whenever I hear that one certian song, I have to stop.  Sometimes out of no where a tear runs down my face by the time it ends.  I have a couple of songs that totally effect me.  But this one song it just flies me back to that time of dancing under the stars at the start of everything in my life and I had no idea what was ahead of me.  But at that time, that song, it was perfection.  If I close my eyes, i am back there.  It's crazy what two notes at the start of a song can do to you.  I'm sure I'll hear that song on the radio pretty soon, it always plays when least expected. 
But again, over all...I wouldn't trade everything that happened for what I have right now.  I love Evan and cannot imagine my life without Jack.  Oh now John Mayer....waiting to hear who's next to pop up.

reverse, now forward

Whew.  That was a hard last three weeks.  I had gotten to like 172-ish and then all of the sudden everything stalled.  I knew it was going to happen, but it sucked.  Starting mid-may it was crazy at our house.  We took two beach trips in a row.  It was crazy.  We were gone to Galveston and then three days later, we didn't even unpack our bags and we left again for Port A.  They were both fun trips...just bad eating.  I had consistantly lost about 1 - 2 pounds per week.  Which is good...but then I stopped and started stressing about the trips, not working out (not that I did a lot fo that anyways), and eating bad.  I know that I ask fast food for lunch or went out for lunch every day for a couple weeks.  At one point I didn't even want to step on the scale because i knew that I had gained back the weight.  ick. 

But I stepped on the scale this morning and it said 173.  I'm okay with that.  gaining back 2-3 pounds was a lot less than I thought I had.  I'm still down 10 pounds who whoo.  Keep it off!

So this week we are making a conscious effort to eat at home, and I am going to try on the food at work thing.  I know I did so good when i brought all my own food.  I have to get back into that habit. 

Oh and that 30 day challenge that I set for myself, it failed.  But I know that I can loose more weight and at this point, that's what matters. 

Back on the wagon...hopefully.  Hopefully by my birthday, which is in 11 weeks, I can have lost 11 more pounds...that would be amazing if I could weight 162 by my birthday! or less, lol.
