Hi, again!
Not much to say today, other than I've felt like crap all week. Proud of myself for not dropping the ball though. I may have slacked off on extra exercises, but I did complete the main goal each day, which is the elliptical. So, whee. Hoping to feel better next week. Did each day on the fatburn setting, in the afternoon this week.

Eight Weeks
And growing more impatient. XD I do not feel quite as helpless and frustrated this week, though. I may not be seeing the numbers on the scale drop and stay down, but I am seeing a difference in the wobble that is my arms, and my legs firming up. So, whatever the scale may say tomorrow, I say bring it!
This week, I worked out in the afternoons and did the cardio function. Sucked ass, but I did it! It was nice to sleep in. I think if I'm ever going to manage to do the elliptical + Jillian on a more regular basis, however, that I'll have to get up a few times a week, or hit the elliptical a few times at night. Haven't decided yet.

Seven Weeks Down
But how many to go? lol Oi. If I don't start seeing some results soon, who knows? Ugh.
Technically, I suppose there should be at least 6 months left before the project is over. Surely, I'll see something by then, yes? XD
In a frustrated state this week. I'm just not feeling like I'm getting anywhere. And, I want to eat a whole gallon of icecream, and a drink a six-pack, and sit on my ass all day. Not very motivated, I suppose, huh? I didn't wake up early and jump on the elliptical once. I was too tired, so I just did it while my son napped (his naps have gotten better, so I think the fact that I didn't -have- to get up played a huge role in that). I also noticed that after Tuesday, I had almost no energy, and my workout times slowly diminished as the week progressed. I was achy all week, and ended up having to break out my wrist braces by the end of the week. Not sure if I slept stupid, too long, or if it's weather related. Hoping that Monday will be better.
I cheated this week and weighed myself during the week. I was appalled to find that I was two pounds lighter Tuesday than when I weighed in on Monday. Wtf, right?
Monday Weigh-In: 158.0
My elliptical work outs were all over the place this week. Monday I did it at night (we had company last weekend that didn't leave until Monday), and the rest of the week was in the afternoon. Tuesday and Friday were on the hill setting, the rest of the week was on fatburn (in a futile attempt, most likely, to knock off some fat because I was distressed after Monday's weigh-in).

6 Weeks - This Better Be Muscle!
Hello! Wondering this week, if this is going anywhere, or if I'm just doing it all for nothing. Weight didn't drop again. I feel better, and I feel like certain areas are smaller, but the scale isn't cooperating. I should have taken tape measurements before I started. Now I'm at the mercy of the scale.
Monday Weigh-In: 157.4
Elliptical times, all in interval setting this week. Finally made it through all 6 pre-programmed settings. Monday and Tuesday, I got up, the rest of the week, I worked out in the afternoon.

This week was terrible as far as food goes. Monday was my fifth wedding anniversary with Sarge, so I made a cake. It took us all week to eat that (and I ate the most of it. He hates when I make sweets--which doesn't happen often. He thinks I'm trying to sabotage him.). And then on Friday, I made another cake for Mini-Sarge's birthday party on Saturday. So... more cake. XD And once a fat kid, always a fat kid. I not be super heavy like I used to be, but I see cake and immediately want to eat the whole thing. Saying that... I am proud that I showed some restraint this week, and only had reasonably sized portions.
I realize, by the way, that keeping track of what I eat is silly, but it's one way for me to take accountability for it all, even if I'm not actually counting total calories. I'm more conscious of what goes in, even if it is bad, ha.
Monday: banana, 2 cups coffee, 2 pieces of toast with jelly, 1 piece of quiche, small brownie, 90 calorie granola bar, 1 serving (17 chips) of Terra brand exotic potato chips, handful of dry cereal, medium plate of chicken fettuccine alfredo with peas, 1 slice of carrot cake (200 calories), a gallon of water, a banana, and some sunflower seeds
Tuesday: banana, 2 cups coffee, 2 pieces of toast with butter, 1 piece of quiche, 1/2 lowfat yogurt, 90 calorie granola bar, tuna salad on a bun, serving of baked french fries, sunflower seeds, a few bites of carrot cake (about 1/3 a slice), then the other 2/3 of the slice of cake, 8 Ritz crackers with tuna salad, a medium size plate of the alfredo, a glass of milk, a gallon of water, and another piece of cake
Wednesday: 2 pieces of toast with butter, 1 quiche, 2 cups coffee, handful of cereal, watermelon slice, banana, a bowl of macaroni and cheese, sunflower seeds, a package of poptarts, skin off of the apple I peeled for Mini-Sarge, a piece of cake, 1 20oz diet coke, a small plate of alfredo, and a gallon of water
Thursday: 2 cups coffee, 1 quiche (yes, seriously, lol. I made too much on Monday), 1 toast with jelly, 1/3 banana, sunflower seeds, a piece of cake, serving of the exotic potato chips (which I looked up, it's a 150 calories, so not too bad), string cheese, a few fresh raspberries, a cup of hot green tea with honey, 1/2 a pan fried chicken breast, creamed corn, mashed potatoes, green beans, and 96 ounces of water.
Friday: 2 cups coffee, 1 bowl of oatmeal with raisins, 1 banana, a handful of raspberries, 1/2 a piece of toast with plum jelly, 20 ounce iced green tea, a handful of cereal, 1/2 of a Tombstone pizza, and 96 ounces of water
A little good... a lot bad. Heh. Trying to do better this week. We'll see. I just need to work in Miss Jillian's DVD a few more times a week. Shall see, shall see. So, not much progress this week. I'm still looking big picture here. We'll see what week 12+ brings.
Until next week!

Week Five
What a week. And it went by so fast. I love that. :)
This week, I tried out the strength setting. I have never sweat that much, haha. Friday, I tried taking Mini Sarge to a mommy and me cardio class they have here, but he did not like it, and did not allow me to do anything. Every time I'd get him to play, or go check something out, he'd see me get down on the mat, and come jump on me. We're going to keep going on Fridays, and see if he gets better. If not, I guess will toss the idea. Doesn't bother me either way. :) To be honest, the class didn't seem too difficult. It'll be nice to get out, but I don't think I'm missing out on too much.
Monday Weight-In: 157.2 (>.< going to hope this was muscle gain, and not my terrible food choices last weekend)

I think it was on Wednesday, I was struggling with feeling hungry all day, and felt like I was falling off the wagon, and wasn't going to be able to keep up. But, after some conversation on my Facebook post, I was assured that snacking all day was normal, and probably good for my metabolism, so long as I was eating the right stuff. So, this week's grocery run will include more fruits, veggies, and some nuts.
This week, I tried out the strength setting. I have never sweat that much, haha. Friday, I tried taking Mini Sarge to a mommy and me cardio class they have here, but he did not like it, and did not allow me to do anything. Every time I'd get him to play, or go check something out, he'd see me get down on the mat, and come jump on me. We're going to keep going on Fridays, and see if he gets better. If not, I guess will toss the idea. Doesn't bother me either way. :) To be honest, the class didn't seem too difficult. It'll be nice to get out, but I don't think I'm missing out on too much.

Four weeks! That's like, a month or something!
:) Sorry for the late post. Sunday, a you know, was Mother's Day. And, while I was not pampered all day, it was a good, busy, productive day. And yesterday, I was busy all day running errands and making phone calls. So, today, before I forget, and before Mini Sarge wakes and won't allow me to, here's last week's numbers.
Monday Weigh-In: 156.2
This week, I choose the cardio option. My workout times were all over the place, due to super early wake ups by the kiddo, lunch dates, and just overall chaos. Mon, Wed, and Fri I worked out during his nap in the afternoon. Tues I did it in the morning, and Friday I started at 2030 x.x. Time didn't seem to effect my ability to fall asleep easy, so that was nice, at least.
Day Miles Avg. MPH Calories
Mon 7th 2.45 4.9 232.3
Tues 8th 2.28 4.6 222.1
Wed 9th 2.38 4.8 228.4
Thur 10th 2.53 5.0 237.2
Fri 11th 2.40 4.8 229.7
Total Calories Burned: 1149.7
Not bad at all. I was very surprised at how much energy I had Thursday night.
Extra Workout Sets:
Monday - 6 sets arms, 5 sets abs
Tuesday - 6 sets arms, 4 set abs
Wednesday - 5 sets arms, 5 sets abs
Thursday - 5 sets arms, 4 sets abs
Friday - 6 sets arms, 4 sets abs
And onto the food. Which, I realized today: I HATE WATCHING WHAT I EAT. lol I feel hungry all the time. I hope this is something that fades. I need to research foods that will stay with me longer.
Monday: 1.5 bowls of oatmeal with raisens, 2 cups coffee, handful of apple cinnamon Cheerios, 1 large banana, 1/3 stick string cheese, 1 cup lowfat vanilla yogurt with frozen blueberries, 1 Hershey's kiss, 1/2 baked/breaded chicken breast, 1 small twice-baked potato (stuffed with broccoli, cauliflower, sour cream, cream cheese, parmesean cheese, garlic powder, cayenne pepper), 1 1/2 cups cauliflower and broccoli steamed with cheese on top, 1/4 banana, 96 ounces of water, and a cup of sleepy time green tea
Tuesday: banana, 1 piece whole wheat toast w/ red plum jam, 2 cups coffee, peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat, 2 poptarts, handful apple cinnamon Cheerios, handful grapes, 1 hamburger (1/4 pound) w/ brown gravy, 1 twice baked potato, peas&carrots, 64 ounces of water.
Wednesday: 2 cups coffee, 3 fried eggs, 2 pieces toast, 1/4 banana, 5 chicken nuggets, 7 sweet potato fries, 1/2 cup of chunked pineapple, 1 banana, some pretzel sticks, 1/2 a small Wendy's vanilla Frosty, 1/4 A&W cream soda, 1 1/2 hamburger, 1 1/2 twice baked potato (yeah, we are leftover kings, haha), peas&carrots, 1/4 banana, handful sunflower seeds, a gallon of water
Thursday: banana, 1 1/2 pieces of toast, 1 cup coffee, handful of pretzels, 90 calorie granola bar, 3 chicken nuggets, small plate of pasta (fettuccine noodles, green pepper, cherry tomatoes, alfredo sauce), small green salad, 96 ounce of water, small serving of pasta for dinner w/ half a grilled chicken breast, 1 Hershey's kiss
Friday: 3 pancakes with syrup, 2 cups coffee, 1 Hershey's kiss, handful of sunflower seeds, 90 calorie granola bar, 1 piece of lunch meat and 1 chicken nugget (that he didn't finish), 1 banana, few tortilla chips, few pretzels, 1/2 grilled chicken breast, small plate of pasta, 96 ounces of water, 2 slices of multi-grain toast with butter
This weekend's food was a bit crazy, and when I weighed myself yesterday, I'd actually gained a pound from the previous week (although, I cheated mid-week last week, and had lost 2, so I know this weekend was BAD, lol). I will try to keep that under control this week. Shall see.
Anywho, working out is getting better. I don't feel like I'm going to die, and I definitely have continued to gain energy during the day. That's always good. I used to work out, and not want to do anything afterward, so I think this is a good combo for now.
Until next week!

Week Three
I hate waking up in the morning. I really, really do. I'm glad that there is at least some satisfaction when I'm done, though. I think if I didn't feel that, and couldn't remind myself that I would feel good when I was finished, that I wouldn't get up at all. Motivation, no matter how small, is definitely good. I encourage anyone who is having a hard time making themselves get up, or get started, to just find something little like that to keep you going. I find myself going "let's make it to 12 minutes left" then "8 minutes" and so on, to get through my workout. It works if you let it. :)
Still trucking along this week with the am sessions. I haven't been having such a hard time falling asleep at night, so I will take that as a win that trumps most of everything else. I had been having a hard time getting to sleep before 12 or 1 am for a while. It's definitely nice to be able to go to bed at the same time as Sarge, and actually fall asleep relatively quick. Nothing's worse for me then just laying there, watching reruns on Adult Swim for hours. And then that one show comes on, that you can't stand... but the remote is on his side of the bed, so you watch it anyway. Yeah. Not fun.
Let's see, what else? I noticed during the first week that my skin was breaking out a bit--like, not my face, on my shoulders and back. This week, it started to go away a bit. For someone like me, who is prone to breakouts, I think this is probably pretty common. Hopefully, everything has leveled out, and they just go away and stay away. Forever. Yeah, forever.
I've decided this weekend, that I need to get new shoes. My toes keep falling asleep while using the elliptical. That's no fun. Sarge says he knows how to fix that. So, I suppose that's what we're doing tomorrow. I hope it makes a positive impact on my times and speed.
Anywho, onto the numbers.
Monday Weigh-In: 157.0
This week, I tested out the "hill" setting. Definitely not the same as the "fatburn," I burned less calories and sweated more. It was a bit harder. Each "set" is a count of 30.

Thur 3rd 2.34 4.8 213.4

Total calories burned: 1047
Extra Workout Sets:
Monday - 4 sets arms, 1 set crunches
Tuesday - 2 sets arms, 5 sets crunches
Saturday - 5 set arms
Friday's workout suffered due to pain that I was dealing with all week that seemed to peak that morning. Those who know me, know that in December of last year, after 6 years of not knowing wth was going on, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I also suffer from IBS, and the two can aggravate each other and make the pain/discomfort worse. Although I was assured I'd be fine after my surgery until December of this year, it seems that is not the case, and this week was not the most fun. No woe-is-mes, just explanation. Because I was doing good, demmit!
Now, to the food. I think I did pretty good this week (although, I'll admit, when I'm feeling blah, I tend to not want to eat, so, that could be part of the success).
Monday: 1.5 bananas, 2 bowls cereal, 1.5 deviled eggs, 1 cup coffee, medium garden salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers), cup of hot green tea with honey, 1/3 cup fresh blueberries, handful of grapes, 2 BBQ chicken legs, baked beans, roasted zucchini and squash, potato salad, 64+ ounces of water
Tuesday: banana, 1 bowl cereal, 2 cups coffee, garden salad, bowl of potato soup, handful of skittles, 10 Ritz crackers with cream cheese spread on top, 2-3 servings baked tater tots, smaller garden salad, a cup of sleepy time tea with honey, 96 ounces of water
Wednesday: banana, 2 cups coffee, 1.5 bowls of cereal, garden salad, 2 chicken nuggets, few sweet potato fries left over from my son's lunch, 1 1/2 lowfat yogurt cups, 1/2 of a 90 calorie granola bar (the half my son didn't try to give to the dog, lol), 1 burrito (made with 97% lean ground beef, black beans, 2 kinds of peppers, onion, cheese, salsa, and sour cream), handful of sunflower seeds, 96 ounces of water, and another granola bar
Thursday: banana, 2 servings oatmeal w/ raisins, 2 cups coffee, glass fat free milk, grilled cheese w/ multi-grain bread, small bowl of potato soup, granola bar, 1 cherry poptart, 1 burrito, 64 ounces of water, 8 Ritz crackers with cream cheese
Friday: banana, fat free yogurt cup, 3 cups coffee, 2 slices multi-grain toast with butter, 90 calorie granola bar, skin off son's apple that I peeled for him, taco salad (same as burritos, just with tortilla chips), 96 ounces of water
Today, we were out looking for a twin bed for my soon-to-be 2 year old, and we stopped at Panera, and I got an iced mocha drink. I'm sure that was a million calories--but it tasted good. That's my cheat for the week. :)
Anywho, seems that my plan is working good so far. I've steadily been dropping a little weight. Nothing drastic, but I'm hoping this means I'll be able to keep it off. We'll see what happens when I hit my 150 plateau. I have a hard time every time I get to 150 getting past it. I think when I get there, it'll be time to bust out the Jillian Michaels DVD to supplement the elliptical.
Anywho, happy working out to those that are. Going to go help Sarge unload the new bed now. Ciao!
