New Month... New Goal and recappppps

Jan. 5th I started my weight loss journey, post-op from having twins. Since then I have lost 28 lbs and I feel GREAT! My goal was 30 and I came pretty darn close, if you ask me. I am not discouraged.. I am inspired by what I can accomplish with the right ingredients. I love to mix things up and boy have I!!!

Support groups... eDiets.com, facebook friends (which incl.TT friends), my sister challenge group, friends and family.
Exercise... TT, TaeBo, Cheer leading moves, family fun.
Food... low calorie, increasing protein and then eliminating processed carbs.

Even with all that listed, I could not have done it with out the strength of God to get me through each daily temptation.

NEW GOAL:
May 1... Start Date!
25 lbs.. Goal Weight!
Aug 1... Goal Deadline!

Keep an eye out on the ticker at the top, for my progress... :)

Please post and tell me what you think.

Me First!

I have been working my butt off since I got back from DC. TT every night... eating right through out the day... sleeping 7 plus hours... avoiding stressful situations.

I am 2, let's say it together, TWO!!! pounds away from my goal for May 1st. Super excited to know the twins are 6 months old tomorrow and I have lost "all the baby weight" and working on losing the 'and then some'.

Summer is right around the corner and school will be out in a month. I am already thinking about where I want to be by the end of summer as far as my physical state and health goes.

Been really working the business. Something More Events. Looking forward to a successful year in 2010!!!


ps. I hope to get pics of the twins and their sister soon.... :)

DC & Gettysbury & Mt Vernon was Awesome!!!

DC Bound!

As I wrap up my day at work, I wanted to do a quick blog. Daughter and I are heading to DC with her class tomorrow. We will spend several days touring all the historical sites. We are so excited about this trip, it will be our first to DC!

I worked out Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sun. this past week. Debating whether I should workout tonight, with all the packing and getting ready I need to accomplish.

As you can see by my ticker, I am really close to my current goal. That is goal #1. I have 2 more goals once this one is completed.

ps. I am 3 lbs away from my pre-preg weight and the twins are 5 1/2 months old! So proud of myself for the dedication I have found to accomplish this goal.

Hubby and I went to see Daughtry in concert.. here is a pic of us and Daughtry.

No I am NOT playing with my boob!

I am massaging my pectoral muscle! Geez!!!

I have done my new TT workout and it is killing me. My poor, poor muscles are aching. Two days in a row and I need a break from it. Tonight I will do some walking. I have recently discovered muscles where I didn't know I had any.

My Weekend...

Friday we were up early. Took Kris to KY to meet her dad. Then after we dropped her off we headed back to Indy. We met some friends in Indy (final four weekend). We got our hotel, then hit the streets of downtown. Explored and hit about 4 restaurants before decided to go back to the first. (my what long waiting lists) We ate at a place called Alcatraz and there was a famous retired basket ball player in there. (I say famous however I don't watch basket ball enough to know who he was.) We had a great time. I ordered a Chicken Quesodilla without the tortilla. Then we headed to the state park in the center of downtown for a free Stone Temple Pilot concert.

Saturday we were up early again. We ate breakfast at the hotel. Then headed to downtown Indy for more action! We took pictures, will I will have up this week. We browsed sports stores for tees and then started looking for a lunch place. We ended up in Hard Rock Cafe and I had an awesome grilled chicken salad. Then we headed back to White River State Park for another free concert. We got there early and there were 100s of people. They were having a pep-rally. All four - final four teams' cheerleaders were there. Of course in the end the local Butler College Cheerleaders got the most yell. Supporting the home team and all. lol I yelled for all the girls because, I didn't want them to feel bad. Although there were plenty of people giving me dirty looks, including my friends. LOL After the rally, Darius Rucker performed... then the reason for my being showed up.... CHRIS DAUGHTRY!!! OMG... I just love him!!! The concert was awesome and great and wonderful and and...lol After Mr. Wonderful left, we some how managed to be going to the restroom when I seen the drummer and was frozen in place. I did get a picture with the cutie pie and a signature on my hand... picture coming soon! I also got the bass players auto and pic.

Joey is the drummer and he is the sweetest! Anywho! After Chad picked me up off the ground, we went to TGI Fridays and had dinner and watched Butler kick Mi States butt. Great Atmosphere!!! Then were went home.

Sunday was a great day and I just loved watching the kids have their part in the service. Afterwards they hunted eggs and I snapped photos. Once all the excitement at church was over, we visited Chad's mom and step-dad. Then we had dinner, and went home. I slept the rest of the day... and night... and morning... ok I had about 14 hours of sleep to be honest and I feel GREAT today!

Weight was 1/2 lb down from last week...

Pictures coming soon....
