Good start

Fresh start

getting fit isn't easy!

Janet and I started back on the "plan" this week. We are determined to get it done and gone, right?! I am thoroughly enjoying working out with my trainer and doing other stuff on my own. Went to my first Zumba dance class Monday nite. What a blast! I don't exactly look as good as the instructor with all the moves she makes but it sure is fun trying!

I am wearing today yet another pair of pants too small even 2 weeks ago when I last tried them on. Whittling away little by little.

have a great week everyone!

love,

Jan

phase two has begun!

well I started with my personal trainer this week. I like her alot, even though she seems to be very disappointed if I am not in aggnoizing pain during a workout! I am very sore today, so she will be pleased! I haven't lost any more lbs. for over a month, but that's ok. I am now committed to 12 weeks of working out- I joined the Biggest Loser contest at my gym! I have never stuck with physical exercise to any degree. Loved Jazzercise but truly didn't have 3 days a week consistently for any period of time.

Wish me luck! And Cole, no worries, life makes it hard to stick to eating right. Especially when eating wrong is so darn good! I feel in a good place and pray I stay there. Day to day, eating well. Indulgences are wine, and good God the gelato I had last night! But overall, sticking to a changed lifestyle in eating. Sipping on some tea as I write this.

love to you both!

up from my down

hey ladies,

sorry about the reprieve. i was feeling super down because my last two trips to the nutritionist were suck central. i went up a quater pound the first time and then a whole pound the weigh in two weeks after that. needless to say i was not feeling chipper. however, i went the last time and was down three pounds-woop!  but then we had my brother's graduation party and needless to say...i am afraid to go again. ugh.

apparently still riding the rollercoaster but loving you all the same,

cole

dessert remorse

I am having a serious case of dessert remorse. We went to Dragos tonight as Chuck was wanting to get some chargrilled oysters before "they ain't there no more." Well I had some chargrilled oysters, some chargrilled mussels--very yummy. The problem really came at the end of the meal when they brought desserts-raspberry cheescake, creme brulee, carrot cake and bread pudding. My first really big cheating session followed--I had some creme brulee-my fav and some cheescake. OMG I couldn't even believe it was that good but now I am feeling bad. I was trapped in the corner of a booth in the corner-iut really wasn't my fault..... Oh well, back to being good tomorrow. It was well worth it -I think-I will confirm manana after I step on the scale.

Waisting away........

I finally got my period ya'll! It is a bad one. But I do believe it is the beginning of the end so there's something to look forward to!

It is getting harder to figure out what to wear. My clothes are getting too big! Some of my most favorite tops don't fit anymore. I didn't think it was possible.

Last weekend was a challenge. But I let myself "cheat" with a few glasses of wine. Also, some marinated Shrimp and just didn't weigh or calculate as well as usual. I think I needed a break. Now very excited because notice that clothes are even loser and scale going down...........I know that I will make it to my goal.

cole, by the way, we are half way through the second season of Madmen and loving it!

later chickies!
