Boot Camp

I am fixing to climb into bed in hopes of a good night's rest. Tomorrow morning I will rise at 4 AM...yes, you read that right...4 AM. I am going with a friend to Boot Camp. It is led by two people in the military, so I have no doubts it will be a tough workout. T-O-U-G-H!!

I am excited about it. It is friends' day, and when she asked if I wanted to come, I jumped at the chance. Funny, huh. Bet you never thought I would be jumping at the chance to get up at 4am and have my tail kicked, but I did.

We will see how it goes. My workout clothes are waiting for me in the bathroom, where I will attempt to get ready and not wake up anyone else at that insane hour of the morning. Shoes and socks are ready to go. I have already filled up my water bottle and it is on the counter near my keys, for a quick escape.

I'm ready......I think!

Sick

Day three at home with not one, but two sick children. Kids + Fever = Cranky

I am snotty, I am tired, and I have cabin fever. My house is a wreck and I keep cleaning it, only to turn around and find it a wreck again! Oh, and did I mention that when stress rears it's ugly head I feel hungry? Not hungry like true hunger, but snacky in the head! I just 'think' I need a snack! AARGH!

Maybe next week will be better.

Nothing Much

Not much to report...just trudging along this week. No weighing in for me right now, as I am just focusing on doing my best at eating and getting some exercise in each day!

Keep warm!

Tally-ing up

So I was thinking this morning about my 12 in 12. Not bad...not great, but not bad. Then I remembered that in the month before that, I had lost 5 pounds. That puts me up to 17 pounds in 16 weeks. Not bad...not great, but certainly not bad. It's definitely enough to be motivating. I don't plan to ever see those 17 pounds again, and am planning to leave a whole lot more along the way, never to be seen again either.

That's all...carry on.

Check *Updated*

Just wanted to record here that I have done my exercise for today! Check!

*Update* I decided I would give my body a little more exercise today, and I feel good about it! Wow...twice in one day! It's a new record! :)

Twelve

Since we have moved I haven't been able to find the scales...wonder if I threw them away?? I've never enjoyed stepping up on those things anyway! Today, however, I had no choice. I weighed in and made a discovery...TWELVE pounds in TWELVE weeks. Yep, that's a pound a week, and I'll take it. I wish it was more, but I'll take it...and I am going to feel good about it. I wonder what the next twelve weeks will hold for me??

Big Fat Loser

...and I don't mean the good kind! How horrible is it that I have already failed at this transformation I signed up for? So bad, I know. Nothing says failure like failure. It is only the 8th day of January, and I have already missed some exercise. I guess the important part is 'the rest of the story". I have no intentions of remaining in the failure category. Tomorrow is a new day, and I will succeed. A new day, and a new start...TGIF!
