T minus 80 pounds with 20 to go!!

I have not weighed 145 pounds since I was 14 and that was the beginning of my 9th grade year.  So 21 1/2 years later I am finally back to that weight.  And I am so excited to loose the next 20 pounds.  I have lost 6 pounds in two weeks and that is the biggest lose I've had in a long time.  I have to really dig deep and be super good to get the 20 pounds off and then I get to maintain it.  I can't wait to get back up to Sarah's for a weigh and measure and maybe even a shopping trip.  I can't wait to see the BF% and my BMI number not to mention the inches gone.  With my limited cardio right now and possibly forever I get to find a new love.  Of course my mother in law was excited when I told her I'd be coming to use the elliptical more often. hehe!! I will be pricing a family gym pass for West Valley and Magna and even pricing some stationary bikes.  I'd prefer to find a reasonable gym pass so the whole family can go.  But I would love to go to water aerobics again and I tried to get Ariel to be excited to go with me but apparently only "old" people do that.  Silly girl.  It rocks.  If I can get my mother in law to come over after to work to go with me and maybe my mom and sisters if they want and who ever else wants to come, that will rock. I've got a lot of research to do.

I've spent too many nights on the couch this week. First Sunday when I was sick and then last night after I got woken up but a bark in the boys room.  I go in there and there is poor Dakota sitting up barking like a seal.  We instantly got the couch ready and opened up the window. Once Adam went back to bed I got him calmed down and after what felt like an hour of him talking to himself and breathing really had and cloudy he finally fell asleep.  By this morning he's still barky but he was breathing really good while he slept which is good.  He woke up happy too which rocks.  So I get to call the Dr. and get him today because after today we have no insurance for who knows how long.  I had to cancel the appointment I made with a sports dr about my knee for Monday because of the insurance issue. Adam's work is in transition from another company buying them so hopefully we'll get it insurance pretty quick.  So I need to get the dishes done, clean the basement, and get a shower on before I take DK, So have a great day everyone.  And remember to get moving some how!!  ;)

P.S. I've been thinking about learning more about becoming a personal trainer and nutritionist myself so I can help family and friends and who ever.  What do you all think?

Can I get a "woot-woot"?

Ten months ago today I went to Sarah's for my first weigh and measure.  Four days later I started my meal plan. I was actually hoping to have gotten this far before the end of December but I won't complain.  This morning when I weighed I wasn't expecting a lot, so it's pretty safe to say that I got a little excited at the number I saw.  It read 150.2.  Yes folks, I am down to 150.2 pounds which means a total of 75 pounds gone.  Bye-bye pounds.  On top of that I went to Sarah's last Thursday for a measure and I lost 3 inches in my waist, woo-hoo, and I am down another 1% in body fat. She said 4% more and I will be in the normal body fat percentage.  I can't wait.  The bad news is I have 9 weeks to get to my goal so I will have to loose nearly 3 pounds a week to get there.  If I have to push it out a little more I will. I just have to be on my very best behavior.  I can do it.  Even when I'm feeling weak I have to be extra strong.  I hope no one would be disappointed in me if I have to push my goal out to the first part of April.

I've been watching the biggest looser's 14th season and it's inspiring.  To see the contestants struggle but stick to it and push through it is amazing.  I feel the same way still.  I have days where I have to push through a run, mostly cause of my knee that I will be having looked at by a specialist soon, and even Tuesday when I did my weight loss Yoga with Bob Harper, I had to push.  Getting fit and staying fit isn't easy but it's so worth it. It's so worth it.  If I can to it, not only once in ten years, but twice, anyone can do it. So when you are ready, here I am to help in anyway I can.  Thank you all for taking this journey with me and continuing it with me.  All of your support has truly been there to help me. Thank you.
