3rd week

Doing OK, had a meeting at work and didn't know what it was about so I stress over it. This was scheduled for thursday and then reschedule for friday, stressing more. I know I should have worked out those days, I just couldn't bring myself to do so. I am in better mood,now that I can go ahead full force this 4th week.

3rd week: Diabetes numbers were in the 130 range, needing it to be down to 110. Eating habits are changing, no or very little carbs for the last meal and snacks. Exercised: weights 2 days and cardio for 3 days.

4th week: keep checking diabetes numbers. Eating habits, try to track food intake in blog. Exercise: complete workouts, 4 days of weights and 5 days of cardio &bonus! 1 day of morning cardio...small goal this week.

Keep smiling,

2 weeks doing good!

I have been exercising for 2 weeks.(5 days a week). I have been doing tabata and I have results. I have lost 2 pants sizes, was 18 comfortable down to a 14 a little looser. But my arms are the biggest improvement. My biceps are looking good but my shoulders are taking shape! Totally AWESOME feel.

My Diabetes started off at 190 2weeks ago. It has dropped everyday w/ exception of 2 days but still trying to perfect the late night eat(dinner). I have been making a real effort to stay far away from overdoing the carbs if not having any. I have notice my numbers are really good if I dont have any carbs for dinner, so I am still trying to adjust.

Now,since I have this going better well I want to keep better track of what I am eating. I would like to hopefully keep it here on this blog if I can get to a computer everyday.

Watch the fat melt away with me......yuck, dont do that.

More progess later.

tuesday thursday

OK I suck at keeping up with this blog but I did workout monday, tuesday, thursday. I didnt keep track of much of anything so far but I have made a deal with hubby.

If I can lose 20-30lbs by the end of Dec 2009 I get some new clothes for my trip at the end of January. I am going to TwiCon to meet&get pic with Kellan Lutz. So, next week I WILL be keeping a much closer track of work,food,and whatever else that comes to my butterfly filled mind...

So, enjoy friday because after work I will be working out

#2

Monday I did workout(tabata)and it was great. worked my arms/upper body.
Tuesday: we do not have a bed, because our gym is in our bedroom. We sleep on air mattresses. Husband fell asleep and could not work out.
Wednesday(finally):
Tabata routine = 20secs of the exercise with 10secs of rest. I would take the first group and do squates for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds and repeat doing leg curls. I would do this for a total of 4 times (each exercise would be done 4 times) and in between each group (at the moment) I would rest for 90 seconds, hope to decrease this time.

1.)Squates 5lbs & Leg Curls 10lbs
2.)Lat Pull Downs 10lbs & Barbell Rows 20lbs
3.)Barbell Curls 20lbs & Calf Raises
4.)Crunches & Knee Tucks

I like this workout, its quick but you feel the burn the next day.

Goal: to be able to incorporate tabata in using the treadmill in the morning.

Diabetes: did not get today
Food: need to keep better track

Til tomorrow

Tabata workout

Unfortunately, I have been very busy. Just to let you know,quickly. I have been video/photographing behind the scenes of "Legend of the Grassman" by Monkeyltd. Along with working 10 hour days. I don't get home til 7p. Husband had started doing Tabata and he has lost 60lbs over 10 months (I think). Well, I am starting to do the same. Time/strength/cardio it is fabulous! Everyday you will be exhausted,but the next day you will feel the burn. Tabata only takes 20 mins aday. So,I am going ot report to this blog my routine,eating habits (which I really need to work on), diabetes count, and anything else I think is going to help me get throught this.

Monkeyltd is filming this weekend, so I will be doing a lot of walking/running saturday and sunday.

I will do this!!!

new motivation

I will update tonight when I finish my work out....more details later

June Events

June has been an extremely busy month for me and the family. We have 2 birthdays, 2 high school graduations, 3 father's day, a trip to Allentown, Penn for 100 MOnkeys concert, and my son's wedding. I have not been doing extremely bad with my food intake but my workout have been none for about 3 weeks now. I took monday off to relax from all of the actives, but I am planning on working out. I am actually looking forward to have my weights in my hands. I have missed the feel of the burn I get the second day after.....never thought I would like weights but I don't and hope to encourage my kids by just following me. I don't want to push them, I want them to want it for themselves. Fingers crossed. see you tomorrow!

Recent workouts

I have been super busy and working late! On some days I am able to get in a workout and that is AMAZING but on others I have to just watch what I eat (which is a bit difficult) which I am still trying to balance out. So this week, I would out once and watched what I at, except yesterday I ended the day with a BIG MAC (no fries). Son graduated and made the mistake of not eating before leaving so over 6 hours later I was starving but I did see my son get his diploma. Next week a better effort in both meals and exercise. Til than, keeping moving!!

Fell off the Wagon

Well, I have no real excuse except I had nothing really pushing me to workout. I found a really good purpose: My eldest son is getting married on June 20th. Its short term but I want to look good in a DRESS. I have also incorporated rewarding myself each week if I do the workout I set for myself. This week I just finished a 5 day workout. I am very happy to say there was only one day where I didn't want to workout and that was yesterday (friday). Monday, tuesday, thursday, & friday I did wieght training. nad wednesday I actually got on the bike for 20 minutes and completed it without complaining about my legs/knees hurting. This week I get a new purse from Top Hopic/Spencers. Next week, I have not decided on what the reward is just yet but I could get anything.

Meals
Now, I have not kept track on what I have eaten this past week but I have not had my usual coffe with heavy cream & sugar from dunkin donuts with a muffin top. I have packed my breakfast and lunch to bring to work. Lunch was usually a steamer bag with chicken and potatoes combined with oil and seasoning. This is excellent! Food turns out GREAT and no mess to bring back home. I need to find better snacks for work. I have pudding as a snack and I limit myself to one a day. But I sit at a desk all day long and I don't want to be one of those fat people who has popcorn or chips on their desk all day long. I will find something.

So for now, I am back! and working out!

Enough is Enough

I know you are so disappointed, I have failed several time now. So let me just say it one more time. I am starting again. I have to work late all this week and I have started menstrating, so next week I am planning on hitting the weights and cardio!!! I truly want to get fit, NOW.

Keep moving, I am getting faster and fitter!

Thursday workout with result

Thursday I did this workout and apparently did not do a couple of exercises correctly (squats and incline dumbbell curls). 1. I am glad I am doing them correctly and 2. my butt/legs/arms got a good work out because I am still hurting after 2 days. I nearly fell down when I went to stand up at work after sitting for 2 hours.


Squats 3sets 10 12,12,12
Leg Curls 20 12,12,8
Lat Pulldowns 20 12,12, 30lbs 12 (next time increase)
Dumbbell Rows 5lbs 12,12 10lbs 12 (increase)
Incline Dumbbell Curls 10lbs 12,12,12
Calf Raises (I like my calves will do once a week just to keep in tone)

yesterday and today

getting late so I am not detailing any. I did the first two workouts and tomorrow is a cardio day, as long as it is not raining I am going to see how many laps I can do at the school's track......The contestants had to do a mini marathon (13 miles) and the used a school's track, this is what inspiring me to do this. I am pushing for 5 laps of walking but hoping for a lot more....

I will check in later.

Update on physical changes

Unfortunately, there has only been a few changes to my body. I have maintained my weight at 181 lbs, few less or plus...normal. But I am most proud of is my biceps and hamstrings. My goal is to have Jillian Michaels arms, I love her arms but she scares the living day light out of me. OH my hamstrings, I actually can feel the different muscle, and I am so amazed. Believe or not I used to be a gymnast and I didn't have muscles like I do now. I am trying to get the calories under control too. I really need to start counting and losing.

Thats my update.
I will take a pic, hopefully this weekend.

Keep moving, smiling, and reading

4th day Wednesday

Well, today I got my goal. I am a HUGE fan of Twilight Saga....I finally decided to open a twitter account and looked up the people from Twilight. I can only hope that these are the real ones...I know, good luck. But, I received an email from Twitter stating that Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen, my fav) is now a follower of mine. He is my first follower, so I nearly screamed when I got this. So, this is giving me motivation. Because, who wants a HOT guy view your blog,twitter, and see that I have NOT made any progress.

Really!! A 3rd attempt

Damn it! this is the 3rd attempt at losing the weight. I have no motivation, just a simple goal that really doesn't matter at the moment. Yesterday day, I walked a trail in the woods and did it at a speed better than a stroll (actually, I would try to jog up the steps when I came across them). I got my heart rate up and started to sweat, but I completed 3 laps were about a mile long. I wanted to do more but my knees were starting to give out. I did have my 2 youngest (14 and 16) with me and I was amazed that they were running the course. Yeah I know they are young and should be able to handle it. But I never see them run around outside anymore.

Anyway: Meals, were not too good. I know I ate more than my calorie intake should be but trying this week.

Activity: Hiking for about 45 minutes.

When it Rains it Pours,

Sorry! This is really crappy but I know I have missed my workouts for 2 weeks now. But I will be starting back here really shortly. I started getting sick with a tickle in the throat and it went down hill from there. Unfortunately, I had to still go to work but lucky for my co-workers we don't (not allowed) to socialize other than a lunch break..... As I was getting over being sick, the snow/freezing rain got me and I fell hard on my left leg. I had trouble moving, period. That took a while to heal. And I thought ok I am set to workout again, and the most beautiful thing happened...I became a Grandma! My oldest son had a daughter yesterday. He is a proud father and I am so PROUD of him! So, I will be starting back to my GOAL on saturday..as long as there is no more drama.

Keep moving, smiling, and reading

Starting over...Sunday ...day 1

Sunday suppose to be a resting day.....not for me. I got up and started cleaning my kitchen. Once that was done, I started on laundry and got groceries. So far I had a full day. I planned the meals for the week, all fastfood fake outs, kids eat that better then anything else at this point. I even turned my dinning room into a sitting room which faces the kitchen. I like, the husband doesn't. But in the middle of my day I decided to hit the treadmill. At 2.6 mph for 23 minutes. I was able to complete a mile. When I started, I was only able to do 10 minutes. I am so proud of myself. I feel like I starting over but hopefully will continue.

Hurt but still doing it,, I AM BACK

Wow, it has been awhile since I did weights. I am so glad to get back into it. I have to tell, I was a little worried. I have a knot in my back right under my right shoulder blade and it still hurts. Husband messaged it a little yesterday, while I was yelling (truly yelling). He convinced me to do the weights anyway just at a really light weight (5lbs). I did it, and am super glad I did. My back still hurts but I, personally. feel really good.

I failed or is it "I took 2 weeks for me"???

I admitted. I failed my Christmas Pledge! but after sometime of thinking...I told myself that I was taking time off for me. The holidays were stressfully busy. It was not that fact that we still had a lot of shopping to do but the day before Christmas eve the water froze and broke the pipes. We had not hot water up until the Jan 1st. Which means we had to shower 3 doors down (we live in an apartment complex). Finally, things seem to be calming down, the complex is willing to compensate us by giving us a can of paint to paint the walls ourself. My livingroom will be dry cleaned but only after the water was sucked up the inch high water that was sitting there for 10 days. Well, after everything (and I didn't mention everything) I am going to be back to working out. Later today, I will be posting a picture of me with my measurements and weight. I will also detail my meals and routine just like before. Goals: I have a summer weekend trip to Washington DC and the NEW MOON movie premiere in November.

I do have to mention that I did not over eat (except maybe a couple of times) while I was away from the weights.

Getting back to moving!
