Day 72

Scale read 262.4lbs this morning at 7:30. I'm glad that number is showing up more often. Hope I will keep seeing those numbers drop over the next couple of weeks. All I gotta do is just keep working at it.

Today I did a new 40min workout, I've actually done it once before. I like it, it is a little different, a little more peppy. I think it might become a regular in my rotation.

See you tomorrow

Day 71

Yesterday I didn't get up at 6am to work out, even though I knew it would be the only time I would have to do so....I just hit the snooze button and kept sleeping.

Today however, I did work out. The scale read 262.4lbs this morning at 10:30am. I had wanted to do a 40 minute work out, but I just didn't have the energy to do so, and I had to take kids to the dentist, so I was glad for the excuse to cut it short. Tomorrow I will make time for 40 minutes. It will feel great.

Only 30 days left of this challenge...If I am going to get those numbers to drop below 260 and stay there, I am going to really have to apply myself, especially watch what I am eating, as that seems to be my week spot. I can do this. I really can. Right?

Day 69

The scale gave me that dreaded number again this morning at 8am...266lbs. Yesterday it read 264 near the same time. The kids had the day off of school again, so once again, I didn't ever get around to exercising. I did this morning tho. So very tired. I'm suffering through a heavy menstrual cycle. We'll say that is what is to blame for the unkind numbers this morning. Took some measurments to day since I haven't done that in a long time. They didn't look any different to me, I'll have to go back and compare them with the others.

bust 50"
Arm 14.5"
Waist 51"
Hip 54"
Thigh 30.5"
Calf 16.5"

Day 66

This morning at 9am the scale read 261.4lbs. Now that's a number I haven't seen for a long while. Not sure if it is here to stay, but I'm glad it made an appearance today. I really hope to see more of it in the next few days or so.

See you tomorrow.

Day 65

At 7:30am the scale read 263lbs.

It seems like the new number is 263. I can live with that for now. It's better than the 266 it was. And better than the 269 I started with. Six pounds is still 6 pounds, even if it isn't where I thought I'd be at this point. It is something, and I'll take it.
Now baby sleeps, and I should really get busy with doing a work out...but I am tired and want to have a nap too. Maybe I'll take a 20min nap and then get busy. I think I can handle that.
******
So I had a nap, and then got up and did two 20 minute work outs. Don't know what's wrong with me, but I barely made it through, I was so tired at the end I couldn't keep up.  Oh well, got it done, that's all that matters.

See you tomorrow.

Day 63

The scale read 263.4lbs this morning at 7:30am.

The numbers have managed to stay below the 265 mark for quite some time now. So I guess that means I've officially lost a few pounds. Not nearly as much as I had hoped by this point in the challenge. But something is better than nothing. If I stop eating the chocolate eggies my hubby brought home for me the other day, I'll likely have better success at dropping a few more fractions of a pound here and there. So I'll try not to indulge quite so much in those delicious little ball of chocolate that I LOVE so much.

All in all I am feeling pretty positive about things today.

See you tomorrow.

Day 62

scale read 264.4lbs

I was so tired today. I've been up since 5:30am with a cranky Ella. Discovered at bed time that she cut new teeth. Because of that I napped this morning when she did instead of doing a work out. I didn't get around to a work out until 10pm tonight. But I got it in. Better than yesterday. The kids were home from school so I just didn't ever get around to do anything.
