7/31 - Aggravated

Okay, I am aggravated today.  My weekly weigh in shows an increase of 0.8 LB and not sure how that happened.  I have been working out faithfully and sticking to healthy eating...WHAT GIVES?  Maybe I should increase my calorie intake for this week and see if that has an impact.  I'm just at a loss here.

I'm also stressing Katy's move tomorrow - I am not ready forher to move out.  Is a mother ever ready for their child to move out of the nest?  I am not thrilled with her living arrangement but I have voiced my opinion and she is almost 19.

I won't complain any more.  Today is a new day and I will make the most if it.

7/26

Day 3 of bootcamp down - woot woot!  My abs were burning last night but okay today.  My legs are still very tight and sore today from Tuesday's workout.  Man - I thought that my legs were in better shape. 

I am enjoying my newest craze - Weight To Go from Teavana!  http://www.teavana.com/about-us.  I thank Megan for getting me hooked.

We finally got some rain over night!  We are in a drought and things are looking pretty bleak in my neck of the woods - hopefully the rainfall will help some.  Poor Jeff, he's been watching the weather channel like crazy.

My plan for today is to go to Curves after work for my normal workout and then do day 4 of bootcamp when I get home.  Am really hoping to see some results when I weigh in on Sunday!!  keeping my fingers crossed!!

I will part with this adorable pic that Megan sent me last night  - oh how I miss these little munchkins!

7/25

Hello Wednesday!  I love this day - HUMP DAY - my work week is half way over!  Not that I am trying to wish my life away, just trying to wish the working days away  :)

My legs are still super sore from http://www.tinareale.com/best-body-bootcamp, I feel like I have jelly legs.  It doens't help that I have a desk job.  I am trying to get up and move about once an hour, I'm sure I should be moving more but it's very hard with my job.

Today is Curves + Zumba at noon and then I have my core workout for bootcamp when I get home.  I am hoping that the circuit will suffice for the interval portion of the workout.  I absolutely love attending my Curves.  For women that feel uneasy working out around men - Curves is perfect.  I have been going long enough that we're just a big group of friends.  It's hard for me to make friends because I am so quiet so this is good for me. 

I am going to try and can some more tomaotes when I get home this evening, we'll see how things go. 

My youngest daughter is packing now to move out the weekend of August 4 and I am having a very hard time with that.  It was hard enough when my oldest daughter moved out for college and then moved so far away to get married.  I just can't imagine another one leaving the nest  :'(  That will only leave me with my son at home and that's only for 2 more years.  I think that I am in store for an emotional roller coaster in the next week or so.

7/24 canning

Decided to do a little canning today and had fun. I haven't done this in a few years and really need to do it more often when produce on sale and such.

Now I need to get on the Internet and get some canning recipes for peaches and pears because the trees are almost ready. I need some for pineapple too. Hubby loves pineapple and it would be nice to have some canned.

7/24

I did it!  Day 1 and 2 of http://www.tinareale.com/best-body-bootcamp/ down - complete!!
WOMP WOMP. 

My arms are sore and my legs feel like jell-o - but in a good way.  I need this and I just need to keep telling myself that I can do it.  I'm not a pro and I'm sure that I look like a dork but that's okay ... I'm good with that.

For a recap:
  • push-ups and I aren't on good terms - I don't have any upper body strength.
  • wall squats - they're okay, I can do them but don't like them.
  • one leg sit N stands - now these are my enemy!  Guess that means they are good for me?!?
We'll see what tomorrow brings! 
Until then.................

7/23

Bootcamp starts today!  http://www.tinareale.com/best-body-bootcamp/ I am really looking forward to this.  My plan of action is to get home from work, let the chickens out and then do workout A and do a few chores before I start 20 min 60/60 HIIT(such as feed & water chickens and watering the horses).  I have recently started taking meds for my over active bladder - I know TMI!!  I felt very uncomfortable talking to my doctor about it but knew that I had to.  I'm only 43 and have to brace myself when I cough, sneeze, laugh and now even when I pick up something heavy.  Not cool when trying to unload 50 LB bags of chicken feed and dog food.  She said not to worry, more than likely due to having such a large baby as Robbie.  I haven't had any ill effects from taking the meds besides dry mouth - we'll see if they work because I plan on running this evening. 

I am going to try and not obsess over the scale and stick to one weigh in per week.
