the last day before Vacation

Nothing special just wanted to tell you all that even though I didn't want to workout at ALL today. I did an hour. Well almost an hour 55 minutes. It was a good sweaty workout and  I took a long shower afterwards. Yay me!

To the start of Week 3,

Okay time for a well deserved update. On the weight watcher front I stayed well within my points for the week. However, on Saturday night (knowing it was the end of my week) I did go to McDs. There I got a 4 piece nugget happy meal, as well as a Mcdouble. All well within my points limit that I had left, plus I still ended up with plenty of activity points left for the week that I didn’t use. Ya Me!


I think my most news worthy information is what I did yesterday. Roller skating for the first time in years, and oh what a bitch it was. I did have Jessica there to help me thru all the embarrassment of almost falling down every 30 seconds or so. I did fall but only once. I have to say boy oh boy did it hurt. However I got right back up and started going again. By the end of the hour I was tired and well beyond worked out. I did get the hang of it after a while and felt much better about doing it again. I can’t wait to go again. Maybe once or twice a month. Put that in the mix with all the other great exercises that I am doing and I might just kick this weight right out of my system before the end of the year. 


Last night I also acquired a yoga mat, and exercise ball (also some not so needed items) I got home and tried to get that darn exercise ball to expand and try as I might for an hour I couldn’t get it to work. *it did come with it’s own foot pump* so I gave up. I think I might be just buying an electric one tonight at target so that I can use the ball that I got. I also think I need to get a measuring tape as I can’t for the life of me find my. So that I can put my measurements on the WW website and track those as well as my weight. Not a bad idea to do.


I am behind on weighing myself. I will do it tomorrow morning when I get up, I believe that was the time that I weight myself at the first time, and I want to be consistent. That and the BF isn’t home at that time and I don’t have to face him to do it. He doesn’t leave the room when I start to exercise which really is bothersome. I mean how many of you like to just have your BF watch you exercise? So I mostly do it when he isn’t around. I just feel better about it expecially if I am doing Biggest Loser because I like to yell at bob and yelling at the tv when your BF is around isn’t a good sign (they might think you are a little cuckoo)

To close a few pics from the skating rink, beware these are not that pretty. At least I don’t think so. And the last one is blurry, but you get the idea. Thanks to my friend Jessica for taking them for me. :-)

Week 2, Day 4

As I promised in my last post I am going to be posting my before pics for you. Now these are NOTHING to be impressed by. I took them after cleaning my house for most of the day, and I mean really cleaning. Dusting, sweeping, mopping, laundry, dishes, and many other things. So I look well to be frank a mess oh and I hadn’t brushed my hair today either. 

I will tell you this, over the past few days, I have had a severe lost in appetite, I don’t feel hungry as often, and I have been forgetting to eat. So I think that I might be setting a alarm to go over during meal times so that I prepare something for myself I don’t want my body to shut down on me and make me fall behind on my goals. Like yesterday my day off which in the past I would watch TV and snack most of the day without thinking of how much I was eating, well yesterday I didn’t do that. I got up, hung-over from the night before, so I had just a little part of a scone (1/4 of a scone) and lots of water, watched the end of Maury baby daddy episode. (It is still my day off I have to watch something cheesy or it isn’t a Rachel kind of day), and then I put in my Biggest Loser Wii fit game and went at it. After 32 minutes, 24 workout minutes, and 8 cool-down minutes, I felt sick and thought I might be. Good thing is I pushed myself to do the exercises right and didn’t stop, bad thing is I hate getting sick so I avoid it as much as possible. After that I did the shower, dress, leave the house, go get things to cook dinner those sort of things.

That evening after dinner, which I will post a picture of as well, because it was just too good for words, I settled in for a challenge game with the BF on the Biggest Loser game. Well to say the least! That was HARD! 8 rounds of football runs, and tire runs my goodness by the time I was done I worked just as hard as I did earlier in the day and felt just as nauseas. Luckily I didn’t have anything to do after that and decided to take advantage of my nice relaxing jetted bathtub and that helped a LOT. Now if I hadn’t of done that I think that I would feel even more beat then I do today. Let me tell you EVERYTHING hurts. My hair even hurts.

I know I am on the right track on this path but man sometimes. You know?

Anyway have a wonderful day. Enjoy the pictures! I will be posting updated pics once a month that way I can see the results as well as you.

Goodnight.
