Update

Wow! Did I take a "free" week or what?! I don't know if it was pent up stress coming out or all of a sudden having a much shorter to-do list, but I went a little crazy on the food this week... too crazy. I've really got to figure out how to seperate my emotions from the way I eat. I'm not sure how to do it yet, so any suggestions would be great.

Anyway... I'm frustrated with my progress in the last two months. I was doing great during the summer, but then for some reason I lost my willpower/momentum. I haven't been below the 150's since I was preggers with Aub's and I feel like I can't ever get below it! I still have 25 - 30 lbs left until I reach my goal... I have to try to focus!!

Ok! So I figure this week is going to be hard to lose weight... what with all the yummy food and such. I'm just going to try not to go over board and maintain my weight this week. I'm just going to try to take it a week at a time for a while; until I get my focus back!

Current Weight: 151.2 lbs

My sisters

Some of you might think this blog is about weight loss, and getting healthy. But it's not really. This blog is about 3 sisters. My sisters and me. We are 3 crazy, entertaining, and moody women, And we are best friends. Or at least, Mari and Crystal are my best friends. They are the ones who cheer me on, laugh at my crazy life and celebrate my successes. They are the people I most want to talk to, about everything, and the people who "get" me best. They love my children, and don't think too much less of me if I occasionally don't- (just kidding). And they help me everyday, to be stable, to be happy and to be healthier. I love them. This blog is about us- and our constant efforts to stay connected, because we live so very far apart. Sisters are the best. :)

UPdate...

The Next Challenge

OK- this week is all about weights. I am obsessed with lunges, and in UT Mari told me about her AMAZING 200 lunge PER leg routine. She is awesome. So I am going to copy it! Mon, Wed, Fri- I am doing 400+ lunges total! And I am going to lift the rest of my body too, obviously. Tues & Thurs I will still run six miles! OK, as before I will comment everyday to check off my progress!!!!

6 miles a day!

ok I am making weekly fitness goals this month!! So in the spirit of excessiveness.... I am giving myself a challenge to run 6 miles everyday this week!! It can be split up or done together, but I am going for 6! Oh yea and I am going off caffeine- last week was too much! I am 36hours caffeine free!!! go me!

December!!

Okay...

I'm a slacker! I did really good until Friday and then BOOM... stress and binge eating hit! I'm taking responsibility though. I'm never going to reach my goal/maintain it if I can't get a grip on the emotional eating. So, in an effort to fight this impulse of mine, I am re-committing myself during the most stressful two and a half weeks left in the year... FINALS!!!!!

My goals from Dec. 1 - Dec. 18:

Diet -
Stay on POINTS!
Eat at least one salad per day (as my meal)
Cut back on sugar/caffeine (that's for you mare-diz)

Exercise -
Do some! JK :)
Cardio 20 min 3 - 5 times/week
Strength 30 min 2 - 4 times/week

I'll try to post twice a week... mostly so I have the pressure to do it all!!

Current Weight: 153.0 lbs.
