Day 2...I Only Have how Many Hours in a Day???

Hey everyone!!!!

Oh where do I begin? Oh yea, at the beginning. Today was just one of those days that didn't let me stop until I went to bed!

I got up early once again and I so hope that it gets easier. I told the hubby to have me up at 6:30 and I finally rolled out of bed at 7 but I got up and today's exercise was Speed 1.0 and I love it! I for the most part am having to do the modified version but that is ok because I am doing the whole workout with out stopping. It is so nice to not feel so defeated like I have with so many other exercise programs. It is also nice to see all the people on the video sweating as much as I do lol.

After that I had another Shakeology shake this time I added frozen pineapples, mangos, and strawberries. Why do I use frozen instead of fresh? I hate putting ice in my smoothies! I hate crunching on it when I am trying to drink it! With frozen fruit you do not need to add ice and it makes it into more of a smoothie. This is normally my fruit for the day because you do have to still watch the fruit intake because it has the natural sugars in it.

For lunch we went out to eat! Scary I know! Who wants to try and make good choices when you are going out? You're first choice should be a place where you know you can order healthy. Where did we go? Sweet Tomato! And even there you have to watch what you put on your plate. I just took a plate a loaded it with romane lettuce and veggies, then I went and had a bowl of soup with NO crackers!!! And finally my little splurge was a mini blueberry muffin.

Then I had to come home and it seemed like I went from a calm day to the hurricane of all days. Cleaning, working on my Origami Owl business, working on our home business, and then the cravings hit and I because Pissy Kelly!

When I work and get stressed I eat! That is just what I do and I know many people that do. I did not give in though. Normally I would in the past to just calm myself down so everyone else would not have to deal with it. Not this time. I told ya before this was my time so if Pissy Kelly was coming out everyone was just going to have to understand and deal with it and they did and I love them for that. I got through it but I am sure Pissy Kelly will be back many, many more times. Let's face it this was only day 2 and I know she is stubborn and will show her unwanted self once again but I will push her right back down. It is nice to know I am so much stronger than I thought I was.

And finally for dinner I made stuffed peppers and they were so yummy! You can find the recipe at http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/ 

Have a great day!

Day 1...1 Step Foward, Half a Step Back!

Hey Everyone!!!

Today was the day and boy was it a day! I had everything going so well! I had a no fail plan! (You can hear me laughing about that last statement I bet!) Everything was going to go right on track and have a perfect day! And then...reality set in...and my day began...

I started out the day a little later than I wanted to but I was up took my before pics a long with all my measurements and weight...

I will post my pics and measurements tomorrow because I have no clue what folder I put the pics in lol! Do you see that ugly number! I am only 5ft! That is a lot of weight people! Too much weight! What have I done to myself? Yea, like I don't know.

Then it was off to get my workout clothes on and try out the new workout I am embarking on for the next 10 weeks. It was cardio for 25 minutes. Now this isn't Sweating to the Olides cardio, this is FOCUS on the goal or fall on your face out of exhaustion kinda cardio! I am happy to say though I did the whole 25 mins and even kept up with the big dawgs for a couple of moves and then had to hold back on others.

 Even my 2 year old tried to get in on the action. He did some marching and some stretching. Then he told me we were sweaty and needed to take a shower.  After the showers I had my Orange Dream Shake and for his breakfast he traded out his Fruit Loops for some Sesame Street Big Bird Cereal (only 1 gram of sugar!)! He says he is gonna get healthy with be.

Then it was off to work with the hubby and we were all over the place. Normally we would stop at some fast food place and eat more calories than we should have in a week but instead we brought lunch! I made us salads and in true Kelly form it would be boring to put a salad in a bowl...

Finally we get home and this is when all the craziness happens! My plan for the night was stuffed peppers. As I was making them our neighbor came over to tell us our horse had taken off the bandage over his eye. Oh yea like you know what happened to our horse Buster...about a week ago Buster went in to have cancer removed from his eye lid and it had spread and he lost his eye as well :( So my husband wasn't home so I had to run to Tractor Supply and get what he needed. I then looked at the clock and saw that we would not be eating till after 10, so drive thru here we come. It sucks to know that after such a great day I had that 1 set back...

But it will not stop me! I learned from my mistake. I need to plan a little better. Tomorrow is no excuses because I made dinner already lol.

Ok that is all I have for today plus it is bed time and I plan on getting up on time tomorrow!!!

My FINAL Stand!

So here we go!...AGAIN! But this is the LAST time! Tomorrow will be the LAST time I start with the beginning weight and measurements you have seen so many times. This will be the first time that 10 weeks from now I will have made a positive change in my life!

So that is about it! I am so ready for this!

Am I dreading anything? Oh heck ya! To make sure I do not fail with exercising which is what happens I am going to make sure I wake up around 6:30 in the morning! This is coming from someone who sleeps until between 8 and 9!

I can't wait to be back tomorrow and this is make or break. I can not fail anymore! It is not an option this time. Sure there will be good and bad times but this time I WILL NOT GIVE UP!
