Well, did you think I'd already fell off the wagon?
Day 2 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had SO much energy after working out yesterday that I tackled cleaning the kitchen and bathroom...both tasks I do not like to do. I got so busy doing other things, I didn't realize I needed to shower and get T until it was about 1! I also went to the Walmart FOUR times yesterday! Yeah, that's right....One trip could have been completely avoided if only I used my brain! Oh well....
Yesterday, I did eight intense mintues of spinning on a stationary bike since yesterday was such a dreary day. I followed that with eight minutes of ab workouts. I've got some "special" workouts Kaleb made for me. They are designed so I won't hurt my back any more and hopefully be able to continue with the program. I actually called him yesterday afternoon and told him the workouts were too easy.... I wasn't feeling pushed or really out of breath. He told me to up it to week two if I wanted to. Then this morning I just about couldn't get out of bed! Ha!
I did increase today's workout to week two. I jogged for ten minutes...(it came out to 1.033 mi.) and did 8 minutes of step aerobics. It was good...I'll let you know how I feel tomorrow!
Now, I'm off to do the 5 million loads of laundry that need to be done!
Happy Laundry Day!

Day 1 cont...
Post workout:
Well, day 1 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!
First, I'd like to put my goals out here in print so I'm actually acountable. I'm trying things different this time around. I've never written everything down. I've also never given myself small little goals and prizes when I've met those goals. I'd like to try it....
Starting weight: lol, did you really think I'd put that up? I'm honest, but even I've got my limits!
Total weight to lose: 60 pounds
First small weight loss goal: 10 lbs
First small goal check in: 3 weeks (January 24th)
First small goal prize: ? You guys help me decide!
I figure by doing it this way, I give myself small amounts of weight to lose in a time frame that is realistic and hopefully I won't get discouraged. Generally, I'm a "want to lose it fast" kinda girl, and if I don't lose a considerable amount of weight quickly, I get discouraged. I'm hoping to prevent that this time around!
My workout says to walk 12-15 minutes today, which I had every intention of doing this evening once Jt got home.... That was until he called me at 7:00 p.m.(he went out to my parent's house to feed after school) to inform me that one of our show pigs had stressed and collapsed. He was trying to get her up and walking again and trying to comfort our 9 year old, whom was walking her at the time.... (she's doing much better now, just in case you're curious) He didn't get home until almost 8 and by that time it's REALLY dark out here where I live. I was going to chicken and not do it and just do double tomorrow, but.... I pulled out my Wii Fit Plus. I walked and did some boxing and yoga for 20 minutes and honestly, I feel great!
On a side note, how many of you are irked by the noise the balance board makes when you get on to weigh? I mean really? And is it really necessary to make the Mii fatter if you've gained a couple of pounds? Grrrrr! Nothing like a little motivation from a video game!
Well, I hope all of you are sticking to your resolutions! Good luck and let me know how you're doing!

Day 1
I write this as I lay in my nice comfy bed...not really wanting to get up yet. Partly because it's the last day we get to sleep in and the kids aren't up yet and partly because I know once I get up I've got to get moving. I've got to do laundry today and finish putting away the Christmas decorations...so many things, I need to make a list!
Speaking of lists... here's one I made yesterday.
Homemaking entries for Ty
speciality cakes: Gramma's Red Velvet (recipe Gramma Shrader)
chocolate layer cake: Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake (recipe Paula Deen, XMas '09 pg 39
quick bread: Banana blueberry bread (my recipe)
pies: pecan (recipe Mrs. Whitmire)
fruit (recipe - my berry pie)
candy: pralines (recipe - Mrs Rippstien's or Paula Deen new mag pg 38)
I think these are the one's we'll tackle and if we have time, we'll add a few more. I'll have to sample some of these, I guess. Wish I would have thought about that at Christmas.... Now, as I begin a new diet, I'm thinking about dessert!
Speaking of diets...well, yeah...
I'll write about that AFTER I workout!

Stop Trying and Start Doing!
I saw this on a billboard regarding New Year's resolutions... Something about this struck true with me. This year is a big year for me. Something about turning the big 3-0 can do that to ya, I guess. There were so many things I wanted to accomplish before I turned 30....losing weight topping the list.
Losing weight....ugh. This is one that's been on the list for me for the past 6-7 years. So this year, I'm going to make myself accountable and post my thoughts; the good, bad and the ugly!
So I've got a workout plan and a diet all laid out for me; courtesy of Kaleb. We'll see how this all goes!
Who's with me? :)
