Workout Weigh In

I have neglected to post anything on my workout/weight issue I've been working on.  I must admit that nothing DRASTIC has happened.  I am still maintaining the same weight as reported on July 12 blog post BUT, my body fat percentage is still dropping!!!  WOOHOO!!

It's slow going but my trainer assures me that slow is the way to go! 

I've also discovered a show (via my sister-in-law...thanks!!) called Cooking Yourself Thin.  It's on the Lifetime Channel.  How fun it is to watch them manipulate great fattening recipes and make them healthy for you.  You should definitely check it out.  They have a cookbook as well called Cooking Yourself Thin.

Well, that's all for now.  Gearing up for the big 3 day weekend.  Lots of rest and relaxation for us.  First time in several years that we have decided not to plan a get away on this holiday.  Sometimes that is just as well with me!

Enjoy!

Workout/Weight Update

I am a little late on reporting on my monthly weigh in.  Because of the holiday (July 4th) my weigh in was actually late.  Here's what happened:

When I weighed in on July 6th, I was actually not looking forward to it AT ALL!!  I had just come off of a 4 day holiday weekend with parties every single day and good food!!  I woke up the morning of the 6th dreading the weigh in & actually asked the good Lord for help on my weight issue.  (haha) 

Going into the gym with a defeated attitude, I hesitantly stepped onto the scale and watched the numbers as my trainer was standing by.  Would you know.......to the surprise of me and my trainer.....I had lost 7 LBS!!!!!  woohoo!!!  AND within the next week I had lost 3 MORE!!!!!!!  I have lost a total of 10 LBS!!!  I am floating on cloud 9 about now!!  Hopefully it is still gone!

I had even gone to my monthly Dr's check up and he was very impressed with my weight loss and asked me what I had been doing! 

I must admit, I truly believe that the MAIN reason I am losing is because I cut out ALL pop!!  I know it's in combination with working out and watching what I eat but the main push happened when I decided to cut out the pop.  What an exciting day!!!!!  I am so pumped every morning to get up and go work out now!  I actually tend to miss it on the weekends.  How wierd!!

Can't wait to see what my weight is come August!!!  Good luck to everyone else out there working at this, also!

New Adventure

Oh my fellow bloggers!!!  I officially started with a personal trainer this past Saturday.  By 5:00 Sunday morning, I was "cussing" him in my mind!  I was so sore!  This too shall pass...this too shall pass!!  That's my new mantra!!  ha

Today was my second day with the personal trainer.  I worked my arms on Saturday and today worked legs so, I will probably be limping by the time this evening rolls around! 

I HAVE to do something for my body!  I don't recognize her anymore!  I have always had such an easy time with weight.  I could always eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted and not worry about it.  When I hit my mid 30's and had my thyroid removed, IT WAS A BAD THING!!!  I had my thyroid taken out two years ago and it's been a BEAR trying to get it regulated.  It hasn't been up until these past two months that they have that thyroid hormone at the level it's supposed to be.  Hallelujah!!  Now I have to work on getting this extra weight off!!  I will keep you all updated on my journey over the next few months!
