What is wrong with me?

I.need.to.get.it.together. UGH!!! Back on track, 3 day Shakeology Cleanse.. Let's do this!!

XOXO.

Lost a couple!

So, I decided last month to cancel my Weight Watchers monthly pass. I went back and forth with it because I feel like I need the accountability. However, I have not found a leader that inspires me, so I just don't go to meetings.. What a waste of $39.95 per month. SO, what I have decided to do on the 15th is sign up for the online WW program. That way I still have the accountability of weighing in each week, b/c I REALLY dislike having that red exclamation point telling me I need to log my weight :)....

I had switched my weigh in day to Monday, thinking that would help me stay a bit better on track during the weekend, in theory anyway.. I was not too careful this weekend and I really enjoyed myself on Mother's Day with IHop breakfast and Campisi's pizza for dinner.. But even with that, I lost....

2.4 lbs

Woohoo, happy dance!

Keeping it going, I have 59 days left in my 60 day Combat challenge.... Let's do this!!

XOXO

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day out there to all the beautiful women in this world - but especially to those that I have in my life!! I love that my hubby and girls are in my life and I am the luckiest girl in the world!

Oh yeah, I did day 1 of Combat today.. I am obsessed! It rocks.. Can't wait to see how I look in 60 days!

XOXO

Check-in and Fitbit Frustration

So, since my last post I have lost 2 lbs (it was three but I made a delicious new dessert last night that I DEVOURED) and I am feeling SO motivated!

I am not sure if it is the Shakeology, the new workout program Combat or the increased number of boot camps I am attending each week - actually it is all of the above! I am sleeping better at night and I attack each day with a new sense of power that I am loving!

Now, if my Fitbit One would cooperate.. It is not syncing to my phone or my computer - which sadly I didn't realize until yesterday.. So last night I had to take a picture on my phone of each stat on the Fitbit so that I can log it as I am back to sending my food logs to Carron (boot camp owner).. It really helps me stay accountable and sadly I really need that!

Anyway, I am plugging away and just really liking how I am feeling!

Have a great Thursday, I am looking forward to a strong finish to my first week in May!

XOXO

12 for 12

I just kicked off the 12th month of my Accomplish Fitness boot camp this morning at 5:00 AM.. I really can't believe it. My life has changed so dramatically in the past 11 months, that I just have to shake my head...

I have challenged myself for the month of May to lose 12 pounds in my 12th month of camp (catchy title to the post, huh??)..  So what is that going to take?? I have been working out like a crazy person so why am I still stuck in this 6 pound up-down swing?? Oh... my diet.... check...

So, I will be sending Carron my food journal every day this month and I will follow and stick to my WW Points Plus targets each day... I can do this... I WILL do this!! I am so excited to see it start falling off again, I can almost see it now :)....

Wish me luck! We have a lot going on this month, so I am excited to keep drinking my Shakeology, working out and eating better..

LET'S DO THIS!

XOXO

Inspiration

Inspiration can come in many forms. For me, all I have to do is look at the beautiful faces of my daughters, Camille and Avery, and that is all I need. At the end of March, we came to the anniversary of my friend's passing and I took a few minutes to evaluate where I was, where I am, and where I am hoping to get..

Where I was... OBESE! Plain and simple. I can't believe I ever let myself get to that point. I am appalled and embarrassed - just exactly what I felt everyday when I looked in the mirror, got dressed and went to work. So sad, who wants to live that way - not me!!

Where I am.... I am feeling so great! Everyday I look at a picture of myself from last January and I am SO thankful that I have changed my life. I get up three days a week at 4:30 to attend boot camp, I get up at 6:15 on Saturday mornings to go and run. A year ago, I slept because I was so tired and had no energy.. Now, I literally bounce out of bed to go workout. Is it always easy, hell no. But after that workout is complete, I have such a sense of accomplishment. This month at boot camp I have noticed such an increase in my strength and stamina. I can vividly remember not being able to run a full lap around the parking lot, barely being able to do a push up on my knees... Today is such a different picture and I am so fortunate that I found this group to workout with and more importantly that I committed to be a better me!

Where I am hoping to get... That is a big and loaded question.. I of course want to lose more weight, but more importantly, I want to become even stronger, fitter and healthier. I am going to sign up for 1/2 marathon training for the Dallas Half in December. I want to be an even better example for my children and my husband. I love, love, love hearing Dave say that I inspire him and I want to keep that going!

I am very lucky that I have the time available to put in the work that is necessary to become healthy, I am so lucky to have a supportive husband that is my biggest cheerleader and most importantly I am proud of myself for believing that I am worth this hard work and effort to be the BEST ME possible!

XOXO

A little bit hungry... Great results....

So at the end of the day yesterday I was a wee bit hungry.. However, I stuck to my plan for the Six Day Express and got on the scale this morning with an awesome 2.5 pound loss! So excited.. I played soccer and did my Slim in 6 workout yesterday. So, later this afternoon I will do day 2, and add in the limber routine with the start it up and the ab workouts.

I put on my paperwork that I am shooting to lose 7 pounds and a few inches in this first week.. God I hope it works!  Wish me luck!!

XOXO
