So far so good!
This is what I posted on FB last night and of course when I tried to put it on here, my computer was too nuts!
Well it's been a great week...I've done all my workouts so far plus 2 extra cardio sessions, as well as extra ab training sessions. Diet had been BANG on and my clothes are a tad bit more comfy...I feel so great about myself, and it's been a long time coming. I just tried on some clothes that I havent worn since last winter, mostly work clothes, and I found a few I can wear again and they fit well. I remember when one of the pairs was too big on me, so that will be a good way to see my progress, when the day comes that those pants are again too big..:)
I really feel like it's finally finally FINALLY clicked for me. It doesn't feel like work anymore, it just feels like 2nd nature. Choosing the right foods is not an inner fight anymore. There is no fight at all. I know that eating too much in a sitting is bad, smaller portions and more often is really better anyway...because I love to eat and its like I'm eating all the time and it's not guilt producing anymore if I do have that piece of chocolate or cookie. Everything in moderation.
Right now, while getting past this plateau (I've been back and forth between 213.5 and 215 for about a month now or more...i've lost track) I have to be stricker...and honestly, I dont feel deprived at all.
So I'm tooting my own horn because I know all my friends out there love me and want me to do this for my health. Thanks to everyone for having my back..even if you never said so, I know it anyway.
AND then I was going to expand on this but the moment has passed....I will do so later. I have a bit of a headache but I am trying to take it easy so when lunch time rolls around, I feel well enough to hit the gym!

My personal 8 week Challenge
So DH and I are going to Amsterdam in November...Nov 20th to 30th. That gives me 8 weeks, short a couple days.
So I have challenged myself!
Here are my goals:
1. Lose 10 pounds2.
Eat no take-out
3. Miss no workouts
I have my 8 weeks worth of workouts ready and planned (weeks 5-12 of www.fityummymummy.com).
I have the first 4 weeks written on my calender so I know what workout what day. I am using my whiteboard to record my wieght loss and measurements.
I don't have my menu completed like I would like but the evening is not over yet..:)
So any support at all would be greatly appreciated from all my friends both near and far! Wish me luck

Ok seriously....
How's it going? I'm well. Managed to get back to the gym in 2 weeks this time, instead of 2 months. I'm happy with that. LAst night, after watching Biggest Loser, I got motivated to hit the gym, which I did..at 7pm..:) Here is the program I am doing right now.
http://www.fityummymummy.com/
It's a 15 minutes workout, 6 times a week. Short and sweet.
My friend Chantel is almost at her 90 pound mark...and I am soo soo soo proud of her. She keeps me going whenever I think "Fuck it, why bother?" I think of her and she keeps me going. She doesnt even have to say anything, she just has to exist..:) I love her so much and am very very very very proud of her!
I was reading in a magazine about writing memoirs so that your family has a written history of your life. I really want to start doing that. I want Sophi to have stories to tell her kid and grand-kids long after I am gone. I read that the trick is to not think of it like an autobiography, but rather as little snippets of your life, little moments in time that are special. I really want to do that, but like everything else, I am a perfectionist, and I think if I can't get it right, then why do it at all? But something is better than nothing, and I want my family to know who I was and what I contributed to the world.
So here is my first memoir..:)
This morning I was watching a youtube video of Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers "The Card". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnYPXZvCc0I It was about a couple who were using the bank machine for the first. Of course it's a funny video, but when they came to the part where they said "the key chummy", I just about peed my pants laughing so hard. I guess ya have to be a newfie to find it really funny....I was laughing so hard I was crying! Then when I came to work I was telling a fellow newfie about the video and he laughed almost as much when I was telling the story....newfies are too frikkin funny!
OK...I'm done now....ttfn!
