Weight Loss Update

I weighed myself this morning and I am down 7lbs. And I said before that I have been exercising for a whole month, but I realized that my first official exercise day, when I really started to put effort into it after my hubby left, was May 12th. It is June 3d today, so I think that is pretty darn good! I have 4 months exactly till my cousin's wedding.

Today I did a half hour (33 min) on the elliptical machine, plus a half hour of strength and resistance/weigh training.

Yaay Me!!!

So can I reach my goal of 50lbs by that day? I have 43 more to go!

I Don't Want To Go To The Gym

I want to stay home today. I've lost 5lbs in a month, which is pathetic to me. My diet has sucked ass, so I know I could have done so much better. I just feel like i am being pulled in so many directions, and I need some time to slow down. And the last thing I want to do is go work out for an hour.

I am definately not used to this busy life. I have my avon bazaar next weekend on the 7th, plus keeping up with the regular avon stuff. Plus the boy has Karate twice a week, and I have to sit there at the Y while he is in class. The girls don't want to continue, so they are with me too, but next month I am going to start them all on saturday morning swim lessons. Oh, and I do go to the gym 3 mornings a week. But with Karate, I am there 5 times a week, sometimes twice on one day. You know how tiring that gets? lol

Perhaps I shall feel better once summer starts, but I highly doubt it as I will still have to work out, we will still have karate, we will still have swimming lessons, and I will still be selling avon.

How do I manage all this and still keep my house clean and keep myself sane? I need some tips!

I need a nap.

Exercise and Working Off My Fat Ass

I have had 2nd thoughts about sharing this, but then thought perhaps if I post what I am doing, you readers can help keep me accountable!

Hubby and I got a gym membership and we both need to loose some weight. My goal is to go to the gym 3 days a week right now. I went today, and did 33 minutes on the elliptical, 15 on the recumbent bike and then some resistance/strength training. I feel awesome!!!

I am going again on wednesday. I haven't lost any weight yet, but I am sure that will start happening. Today was my fourth time going, and I haven't exactly been eating great as we just had mother's day weekend. I have to work on my diet too, unfortunately.

What Doesn't Work For Me Wednesday

Shannon, over at Rocks In My Dryer has a blog carnival called "What Works For Me Wednesday". Today she decided it would be "What Doesn't Work For Me Wednesday". So...here goes, what doesn't work for me:

1. Clipping Coupons. Sometimes I can find some good ones, but more often than not, I really can not be bothered to even try.

2. Getting my daughters to clean their room! It looks like a bomb went off in there.

3. Canning food. Doesn't interest me, I don't have the storage space, and I don't want to bother taking the time to do it. Though we do live right next to a HUGE strawberry farm, so I will make some jam this summer. That is one thing I do want to do.

4. Dieting. I can't seem to give up sweets, but as long as I can have them in some form, I am ok.

So what doesn't work for you? Bargain wise, family wise etc. Anything you can think of!

Housing Inspection

I found out today that our house was inspected by the buyers. Their inspector is an idiot. When we left, the last day my husband turned off the breakers for the hot water heater and the stove because we didn't want to pay for electricity while we were not living there. So the inspection was done and the inspector said our hot water heater was broken...he didn't even check the fuse box. What a dumbass. I am just baffled.
But the good news is that the closing should finally be done in a couple weeks. I need to go sign off on some papers on monday, but everything seems to be going full steam ahead.

And another plus...I've lost 8lbs!!! I'm pretty happy about it because I have a long road ahead of me with the weight loss issue. I have to admit, I have let myself go and it went too far. Now I am on the road to a lower weight and a healthier body. I should be getting a gym membership in a few weeks hopefully!!
