Surprise, surprise

I'm always amazed whenever I binge eat, that I always seem to weigh less the next day.  I'm still nowhere near I want to be, and my STG date is coming up pretty fast!  I need to get my butt into gear.  Husband is quite enamored with the fact that working out gets me feeling rather horny.  But I can't help it!  Working up a sweat makes me want to get sweaty ;)


I'm still dieting and it's easier to say no to the things I want.  I'm up to a gallon and a half of water a day.  And I completely stopped drinking soda.  I limit myself to one iced coffee per day and 2 cups of green tea.  The rest?  All water, baby.  In a few minutes I'm going to work out again, and then another one before bed.  Then maybe a bit more exercise in the sheets.


Current weight: 298.6

Wow. What a difference!

I can honestly say that without a doubt, I will never return to my previous eating habits.  Ever.  I have been working super hard the past few weeks, and I am already noticing changes.  While I am not where I want to be, I know that I am getting there. 

You'd be surprised how quickly you give up certain cravings.  Like with me and sugar.  I LOVE sugar.  Anything sweet....mmmm mmmm.  However, now I'm drinking my tea with a half a teaspoon of sugar.  I took a sip of apple juice today (don't worry, I didn't swallow) and it litterally tasted like...calories.  Just empty meaningless calories.  So why would I want to poison myself with that? The calories I DO consume, need to be more than just empty yummyness.  They gotta mean something.

Sure.  I don't always follow what I'm supposed to eat.  But I am leaps and bounds from where I was. Am I still disgustingly fat?  Oh hell yes.  However, there is just a little bit less than before.  I am getting my stomach used to being empty.  I can tell it already shrank.  For dinner, I ate 4 bites and I was full!  And I won't eat again for another 24 hours.  How cool is that?

While taking kiddo out for a walk earlier, some guy hit on me.  Sure, I just gotta blew him off...but still I smiled to myself on the inside.


Too many times I see people getting down on their weight.  I'm not depressed about my weight.  Sure, I might get frustrated.  But ultimately...I'm getting proactive about my weight.  Before I would never take a super long walk...now I'm doing it 3 times a week!  And doing even more exercise after?  This surely isn't the same person I was as little as a month ago. 

Here I am--making a change.  Because I got this.


Stay Skinny, Loves.

Personal Exercise Program

I know I am probably the last person who should be writing this blog and giving out tip because I am so fat still.  However, I have the most to lose, and the most to gain with all of this.  Here I'm talking about what exercises I do everyday.  You'll see that there are some patterns, but I try to keep it fresh each day so I don't get bored with it.

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays: 
2 mile walk with wagon + kiddo.

Monday mornings:
220 Jumping jacks, 100 crunches, 50 push ups

Monday nights:
30 minute dance off with kiddo!  He enjoys dancing around with me.  So it's a win-win ;)
100 jumping jacks, 100 lunges

Tuesday mornings:
2 minute wall sit, 100 jumping jacks, 100 crunches, 50 push ups

Tuesday nights:
60 minute dance off, 200 jumping jacks, 100 crunches, 100 lunges, 50 squats, 25 standing calf lifts

Wednesday nights: 
30 minute dance off!  March in place- 3 minutes, 200 jumping jacks, 100 lunges

Thursday mornings:
2 minute wall sit, 200 jumping jacks, 100 crunches, 50 push ups

Thursday nights:
60 minute dance off!  100 jumping jacks, 100 lunges, 50 squats, 25 raising calf raises

Friday morning:

Friday night:
It's a free night

Saturday and Sunday:
Free, but I like to keep active!  Gotta keep those calories burning.


Yes, this exercise regimen is intense, however, it's a great burn.  I did it for the first time last week and man was I sore.  He's to a second week of getting it done!
