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.

Day 58

both yesterday morning and today the scale read 264.2lbs.
Yesterday I had three sick kids at home, so we all watched Monsters University instead of doing a work out. I've had two long sleepless nights with a feverish boy, so today I don't much feel like doing a work out now that Ella is napping. all I want to do is nap too. what to do, what to do....
*******
later that day...
Alright, so I sucked it up, and finished up with my pity party, and then got my butt in gear and did a work out. I know, I know, I'm such a good girl.

Day 56 - Mmmm chocolate!

The scale read 263.2lbs this morning. good.

I started using a cocoa and cornstarch mixture as a dry shampoo. It works great, the only problem is that when I am working out, I can smell brownies the entire time leaving me craving the delicious treat. Hmm...rough life.

day 55

weighed in at 263.6lbs this morning at 7:30. That number seems to be showing up more frequently. So that makes me happy.

This morning I just didn't want to do a work out at all. But I did it anyway and now that it is done, of course I am glad that I did it. I guess that is one thing about this challenge, even if I am not seeing the results that I would like to see on the scale, I like how I feel after I've done my work out for the day. I have a good variety of  DVDs and a good variety of types of work outs so I'm not getting bored with them. That keeps me going. I do however look forward to spring so we can move some of our work outs to the beautiful outdoors. Kathryn and I want to start riding our bikes and walking/jogging our 5km route around town. Oh that will be so nice! But as it looks today, that is a far way off yet. We just got a bunch more snow and the temp has been well below -20C. The forecast looks hopeful will the temperatures reaching above 0C by the end of the week and into the following week. There is hope.

see you tomorrow.

Day 54

Scale read 265.4lbs this morning at 8:30am.

nothing really to report today. just trying to be positive about this whole thing. something's gotta give eventually. right?

see you tomorrow.
