That is so awesome that everything is fitting better. So you know you are losing fat no matter what the evil scale is telling you! As for cardio, we all have our crappy days. Today was the last of my make up days for p90x. I am back on track now. I basically made up all the weight training workouts I missed but skipped the 2 cardio workouts I missed. I wanted to make sure I got all the resistance training in since I go into another recovery week next week which is all cardio and yoga. Hard to believe next week will finish out my second month of p90x.
Good luck with the shorts

Today was much better. Thankfully! The gym had the AC rocking so I got in upper and intervals. Hate intervals but they are a must! I don't take pre workout on cardio days but I'm wondering if I should. My focus and intensity (whether a placebo effect or not) are great on weight days with the PWO. So I might give it a go this weekend and see if it helps.
Glad you got caught up! That's amazing you are already down 2 months in P90x. Crazy!! Did you do befores?
This weekend should be relatively quiet. We have a Friday game and Dan might travel with a friend down to workout at a different gym with some other out of town friends. I'm hoping to FINALLY plant the garden. We did the tomatoes but I need more soil for the actual bed. If the kids and the weather cooperate, we will be in business!! Any weekend plans?
Tomorrow is booty day. Woot woot. Love me that day. I'd do booty day every day if it were an option! Still need to get up to Walmart to check out shorts. The weather has turned on us though. Rain and down into the 50s this weekend. So I don't think I'll have to worry about a fitting pair this weekend!!0 -
Glad you got a good workout in today. Yeah I say give that preworkout a go! I did take before pictures. I will be leaving for vacation in the middle of month 3 so I will probably take some "after" pics right before I leave since I will probably screw up the results, as usual :laugh:
Yeah I am also glad we have a little down time this weekend. I am ready to get some extra sleep (and some shopping because I have problems as you know, haha). I am getting a sore throat this afternoon and I am praying it is allergy related and not me getting sick again! I just want to stay healthy (and lose weight of course!). HAHA
Are you weighing in this week or are you off the scale?0 -
Well glad today is a rest day because yes....it seems that I am sick again. This time with a cold. I would take a cold over that evil stomach bug but still I would love to be healthy for more than 5 days at a time! Looks like recovery week is coming in at the best time.
Do know what is going on with my weight. As the soreness died down from the extra weight workouts my weight started going back down but I was shocked to see it was 123.8lb this morning. I was hoping to stay close to the 124.4lb that I was last week but as you know I didn't have high hopes for that since I assumed that weight a result of being so sick and not eating food. Oh well I guess I shouldn't question it BUT I am so distrusting. haha Why can I never believe when the weight is down but have no problem believing it when my weight is way up? :laugh:0 -
Like you said...take that # on the scale and work with it. Maybe it's the 'swoosh', maybe it's all your hard work, maybe it's a hundred things...either way, keep rocking it because you got the number and you earned it. Even if you were sick all that hard work doesn't seize to exist because of one week of illness! You are too much of a machine! I do hope that you get 100% healthy soon!
Great day yesterday with workout and eats. I did the dumbest thing at the gym though. Stepped off the elliptical wrong and the peddle got stuck on my ankle so now my ankles tender. Duh?! Really!??!
Switching things up for the last 3 week push before vacation. Taking Jamie Eason's LiveFit from the last phase. She does carb cycling and plyo + Circuits for workouts. Looks intense and great for fat loss. Keep your fingers crossed, I need a little more fat off this bod before heading out. :laugh:
Tried some swimsuits on...epic fail. I think that there should be seperate dressing rooms for trying on swimsuits. A mirror that's .5 a foot away from you and flourescent lighting does not make for a flattering attempt! :laugh: Just got to keep working until that swimsuit looks good whatever lighting!0 -
I am not questioning the scale I just hope it hangs in there a little bit longer. How is your ankle feeling today? I am over my cold (yea!) and back to normal so fingers crossed I can stay healthy. Had a great long weekend and did over indulge a bit on Sunday with the family but it wasn't a total eat until I was sick train wreck so I am hoping that didn't hinder my week's progress.
So tell me, what do you think has lead you all your recent progress? Different workouts, diet changes, etc?
Yeah I know how you feel about those dressing room mirrors. I will say though that there is some odd lighting in the Target dressing room by my house that makes me look so nice and tan. I enjoy those mirrors and want one in my house

Glad you are feeling better! Nice blog today. Important to realize. Very nice.
As far as me, more consistency is where it's at for me. Hitting it harder in the gym consistently. And just being more on track with macros. I'd assume is why things are going better. Less hit and miss, I suppose. Though I have to say, I still do dumb things. :laugh: Didn't eat much of anything Monday with just being super busy prepping gardens, cleaning, prepping, etc so when I hit up leg/plyo day at the gym. :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: Needed a major refuel after that...thus prompting the DOMS from hell, I do believe!!
Maybe I need a Target trip?!
:laugh: I am going to have to get back on the hunt for vacation clothes. Things are getting closer and I've yet to purchase anything. I figure I'd rather go with 'too big' then 'bought it just because'. :bigsmile: 0 -
Oh girl you definitely need a shopping trip!! That is the best part of losing the weight :laugh: Well for me anyways Yeah glad I am feeling better and hope it holds out for more than a few days this time! Tomorrow is my last workout of month 2 of P90x halfsies. It really has gone by fast!
Yeah the blog was just some frustration I had from people getting sort of pissed off at me when I would say that those pics were 2 years apart. I don't know what to tell people. I am sure if I never went off track I could have done it a bit faster but losing 70lbs and getting sub 20% BF takes more than a month or 2 people even if you are on 100%! I was getting a bit cranky with some people. I would have them contact me and say things like they have been at it for 1 or 2 weeks and they want to give up because the loss was too little for the effort. NO ONE ever said they gained weight and NO ONE ever said they had been doing it more than 3 weeks. They were all saying they didn't lose enough in 1 or 2 weeks and they want to quit. I was like seriously????? Seriously?
Almost as annoying as the people that whine about being on a plateau for 2 weeks. sister please :laugh:0 -
Your blogs are famous, so I'm sure people will read...comment and spread the message!!
Holy moly another program about in the books for you! Fabulous! Knocking 'em down.
Had leg day today...wasn't sure it was feasible. But I got it in, just concentrated on booty and hammies since the quads are what are fried. Definitely need to consider a full stretch session tonight. Last night I gave it a whirl but plyos are no joke. These workouts switch to circuit training next week. How that's going to pan out at the gym we'll see. It's getting busier in there in the mornings.
Baseball tonight. My sister took some awesome photographs of Tarren yesterday. She'll do Talan once he's done with school. She's into amateur photography and she does an amazing job. They are better than the formal season pics that we bought for Talan. I loved them! I have to stop slacking a scrapbook. I'll never catch up if I don't get on it soon!!
Last night I hit calories but missed macros. The sodium from the drive by dinner killed my weight this morning so pounding the water to flush that out and see what the real number is by tomorrow. I doubt there will be a loss. The diet has been fine but I"m sort of tapering off the losses. Ironically, my husband told me last night I might be getting too skinny. :laugh: Well skinny isn't what I'm going for and though it isn't true...it was a nice gesture. Of course the same day, my oldest told me he can see his abs but not mine since I have a chubby belly. They say the most brutally, honest things! Lol> 0 -
Yeah for hubby's comment, boo to son's haha! Love that you are hitting the gym so hard regardless No worries about the macros, calories are king.:laugh: I have no idea what tomorrow will bring. My weight was lower than I expected considering I was off the diet for one meal this weekend but when I weighed myself this morning it was crazy high. So I have no clue. We shall see. I am lower than I ever expected to be so honestly I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop.:grumble: This dream can't last too long right? :laugh: I am just hoping my good fortune holds out until next Friday though since that is my last weigh in before our trip to Galvestion and I know there will be a large rebound when I get back.:laugh: Fingers crossed for both of us 0
-
I'm ready for this week to be over...actually I'm ready for it to be a slow, quiet (non-workout) Sunday. Phew! Another baseball game tonight. Hopefully getting the other AC in the bedroom so my poor husband can sleep somewhere besides the couch tonight!! :laugh:
Planting my Mom's GIANT garden with the boys this weekend...ours is in and ready to go. Hopefully I don't screw it up too much.
Workout was weak this morning...not feeling 100%. Probably the go go go of this week. but I've got one more workout in before a mini break. I can't believe it's 2 weeks until vacation. Yikes!!
Sorry short today- things are hectic!! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!!:flowerforyou:0 -
Sorry it has been so long!!!! Things have been crazy here in the big D! We got not one but 2 offers on the house over the weekend. Neither of them hit it out of the park but it is a great position to be in to be able to pit them against one another. After 6 months and over 120 showings (yes you read that right over 120!!) we are so ready to be done. Since these offers were unexpected we had to make a mad dash up the the burbs we want to move to check out neighborhoods and houses that are available. With all this going on, I was also running around like a chicken with my head cut off getting Josie into swimming lessons at the last minute this week and also wrapping up plans for both our Galveston and Jamaica trips. Add in work, 5 showings on Sat and everything else and I am spent!!!
Back to workout/diet news. My weight was up on Friday but honestly I think that was a random fluctuation since there was no real reason for it. This weekend was a weird situation. I hit it hard with p90x on Sat (which felt great coming from rest week) but then I had alittle too much fun at my in-laws pool party. I had 2 vodkas and diet cranberries and a bunch of cookies on top of the usual hamburger, tots, potato salads, etc. Soo..... I didn't make myself sick and I did have a good workout that day BUT I for sure was off the diet, then on Sunday I felt like crap (mostly from not sleeping from all the stress with the house) so I missed my workout but since I did feel like crap I only ate under 1400 calories so that leveled out that fact that I only burned like 2000 calories that day. So I think this weekend may have screwed up my final weigh in before Galveston but oh well. Life gets in the way sometimes right?
How are you hanging in? I hope you are back to 100%! We are going to start killing it for the next few day before vacay right? Are you in? I am in it to win it :laugh:0 -
Yeh!! That's awesome on the house front! And that is ALOT of showings!! Holy moly!! I hope everything wraps up. Looks like you are on a roll with tying up loose ends (i.e. trips, swimming) so hopefully you can get this settled too!!
I have a feeling that weekends throughout the summer are going to be a lot of ups/downs. Keeping things tight and then the next weekend allowing some freedom for the summer BBQs etc. For me, I know that's how it'll end up for sure. Which is why the weeks have to be on par.
I'm doing well. I really think it was one of those weeks/things were I really went balls to the wall (thank goodness) so by week's end I was on fumes. Honestly, still a little on fumes but that's when it's time to push past it mentally!! Because you are right...only a few days left until vacation!! Time to put up and shut up!! :laugh:
I set up all my workouts, titled them and put them in my gym bag. Got to the gym Monday and in a brain fart moment- I did Thursdays workout. So I'm all *kitten* backwards so today was leg day even though Monday was supposed to be. I've decided the rest of the summer (and don't giggle at this! ) is going to be operation booty! I'll stick with the same concept diet wise but instead of just focusing on weights and cardio mix. I'm going to do Monday: Full Leg Heavy Tuesday: Chest, Shoulder, Tricep (Intervals or Stepmill) Wednesday: Cardio + Body weight booty work (<---at my parents that morning) Thursday: Shoulders, Bi, and Tri (Intervals or Stepmill) Friday: Legs focused on booty/hamstring Saturday: Cardio + Abs. My biceps are doing well, my shoulders/chest etc. are good...it's my booty/hamstring and tricep that needs focused. So I'm going to try and hit those hard. I'll be back to home workouts before I know it so want to take advantage of the gym while I have it. By then, I'll be ready to settle in to a regular at home routine!! So that's my post-vacation plan. Let's see if it pans out!! I also think instead of normal ab work, I'm going to give Lindsay her far shot. I've been doing regular ab work and although some of the weight is allowing my obliques to show...I can't tell if it's lack of fat loss around the middle or if I should give the diasestis recti ab work a true shot. I figure at this point ab work is ab work so Lindsay is the way I'm going! Fingers crossed!!
We leave Thursday. And Talan's tonsils come out the following Tuesday so it's going to be a busy June! When are you heading off?0 -
Sounds like you have a great plan set up! Good luck girl, you got this! I am right there with you with needing butt and leg work. My arms are slimming nicely (which is second to the last to go down) and my abs have never been too much of an issue because of my shape but damn these saddle bags and droppy butt! It seems like I need to lose even more weight to get those bad boys in check!
So are you leaving this Thursday (like 2 days) or next Thursday? Either way I wish Talan a quick recovery!! We leave next Wednesday.
And big news....................after 131 showings and 3 competing bids we signed a contract on our house today!!! It was a good offer ($2k over asking price) since we had competition but it was still a bit lower than what we thought we would get initially since we had dropped the price over $20k in the last 6 months. But I don't care! I am free!!! Well almost. I could still fall apart but I don't think so since we had other people interested and this buyer had to fight for it. WOOOHOOO. Now we just have to move out by the end of the month (oh yeah did I mention we would be in Galveston next week)? haha!!!0 -
Sorry! We had a class field trip for Tarren yesterday So I spent the day hanging out at a little tykes amusement park. It was fun. He did get tired and have a meltdown but it was great anyways to just be with the kids all day. My mom went to so that was a bonus. And then my MIL came into town for a job interview and she & her hubster spent the night. It was a busy Wednesday!
I did manage to make it to the gym yesterday and today. Ate out last night so weight is up from the sodium. But we'll work on flushing that out today. FINALLY took measurements from those original measurements Dan took for me back at the end of March. Down at least an inch in everything (even thighs) except hips (which is weird considering but I'll take it) So we'll keep trucking along!
Yeh on the contract! Fingers crossed it all keeps progressing along for you! That is going to be a big, fast timeline for you. But I'm sure you'll get everything tied up even with Galveston! Imagine the calories you'll be burning packing up an entire household! Did you find a new house yet? Where are you going to stay in the mean time?
We are leaving next Thursday. Sorry for the confusion! We are camping (NOT IN A TENT! ) the 13th through the 16th. Come home for 1 day and then the 18th Talan's tonsils come out. I have to tell you this story because it just made me want to cry. Sometimes I start to lose faith in people and then things like this happen...Talan attends latchkey before school for MAYBE 20 minutes a day. Just enough to let Dan get Tarren to school and still make it to work on time. Talan's a quiet, well behaved kid. So although I know people know him, you always assume you follow the rules..you sort of fly under the radar. Well, there's this lovely older lady who runs latchkey. She's seen me once picking Talan up and told me what a nice boy he is. Well, he mentioned that he had to have his tonsils out to a friend and this lady over heard him. Didn't she go to the store and get him an activity book and a little toy for him?! That wasn't the part that made me want to cry though...she wrote him this simple, sweet note that said 'I hope your parents don't mind me getting this for you but I wanted to get you something to help you during your recovery. You are such a nice, well behaved little boy and I appreciate you.' I know it's simple and silly to get teary over. But coming from a tiny town and moving to our 'city' (which by most standards is still tiny) I worry that there's so many kids the adults don't have time/ability to connect or see the kids. You know? As a parent, it was just so nice to know that this lady took the time to do something like that. As simple as it was to Talan, it touched my heart!! 
I'm rambling but I was just so proud of Talan for being THAT good kid that people appreciate and for knowing he's being watched in the mornings by THAT type of person who takes the time for kids. :bigsmile:0 -
Awwww how sweet! That is awesome! It is always nice to hear good things about your kids and to know you made the right decisions in where you put them or who you have watch them! I am sure he will be back to normal in no time!
Looks like we will be out of town at the same time!! Fun times for all.
Yeah it is going to be crazy in the next few weeks. Inspection was yesterday and we are waiting to see if they have any demands but we were told that nothing major was found during the inspection so that was a relief. I will be a lot more relieved once the option period ends on Tuesday.
But as for finding a house, we are all over that this weekend. We basically have to make a decision on what we want to do and if we want to start placing offers this weekend since we are out of town the following weekend. It is going to be fast and furious as our closing date is the 28th of this month. We have already been getting quotes for pods and things like that since we don't think we will be able to move straight from one house to another because of the time frame. We expect to need to have our stuff in storage for 2 weeks or so and stay with our parents until the new house is ready. But these are the kinds of problems I like having :laugh:
Tomorrow is the last real weigh day before vacation! I expect to take pictures so that I have something to look back on for my p90x experience if I gain half of it back on vacation. hehe!0 -
I'm sooo over work. Thank goodness I'm barely there this month! :laugh:
Thanks for listening to my ramble about big T yesterday. :flowerforyou: Somedays I just need to stop and remember those little things!
Hopefully the inspection doesn't bring about anything at all...I'll keep my fingers crossed for Tuesday. And for the house shopping. What a whirlwind for you! I bet you'll be so relieved to get out of town for a moment!!
I weighed in high today but TOM came a week early so I suppose that's to be expected. I'd been sitting at my 'normal' so the 2lb jump this morning was sort of a shock....until she showed up. I can't complain, at least I won't have to worry about that girlie stuff on vacation. So I'll take the high weigh in for now. And I'll deal with the bloating if it promises to leave in 7 days!
Back, Bi and Tri this morning. Starting to enjoy upper body days now that I can visibly see those muscles while I'm working them. Leg days will forever be my favorite though! Tomorrow is the last of the week. Some cardio and a little booty circuit. Not sure if I'll suck it up and go in the morning or head in for a late workout. We are heading to my parents at some point to pick up the boys' basketball hoop my parents got them for Christmas. They've been asking and now that school's out it'll be a nice little go to in the drive way for them. My oldest got teary eyed last night because he was already missing his teacher. I tell you what- getting a good teacher is even more of a Godsend then you think it will be. He met his new teacher and by all reports we've got, she'll be a good match too. Little man gets Talan's first teacher ever next year so he's set too.
I've decided ( go figure) to post pone shorts shopping. I figured I could buy some new ones but then we'd go camping, fishing,etc. and my new clothes would turn old sooner than later. I'll deal with the lose fitting while camping and worry about getting stylish when we are back. Now that swimsuit...well, I still need to decide about that. Between grocery shopping for the long weekend and packing, I may end up dealing with an ill fitted suit too. If we were frolicking on the beach, I'd be more inclined to worry about cuteness factory! 0 -
I hear you on the work front! I am whipped from this week. Well I was basically the same weight I was last week (which was still up). I can't complain though because I am still hanging around 125 and that was a pipe dream for me just a few months again. I took pictures and they look the same to me but I didn't do anything comparisons so I will do that hopefully over the weekend. I have to get so much stuff done between the trip, fathers day and the house buying and moving!!!
Speaking of moving, we are at the 10 yard line with the house sale. Inspection and demands came in last night. We have reached a verbal agreement and we are just waiting for their signatures. Once they have signed the option period is over and we can start looking for houses! There is still a chance the sale will not go through but it is very small and they would lose their earnest money (and we would be $5000 richer) so I think we are good on that front. Now on to finding a house, which might be harder than we thought since our neighborhood choices are moving very quickly. Oh well. We can only do our best.
Hope you have a great weekend and keep killing it!!!0 -
Skipped gym yesterday. Shouldn't say skipped. But slept in in the morning since Dan went to bench early. Then by the time we got back from my parents, it was showers, clean up, and bed time routine. I should feel bad about it but I don't. I slept in super late Saturday and Sunday. Felt great today. So I think I just needed it after the week. I'm good with it. Have 4 more days before vaca and though it won't be goal, perfection time. I gave it a good run! :laugh: There's still plenty of summer season to blast some more fat!
Very optimistic outlook on the house search/selling. My fingers are still crossed for sure. Things will come together. The process is head ache provoking I'm sure...but once all is settled it will have been worth it. Definitely!!
Legs and a little cardio to end the session today. Upper tomorrow. Combining all upper body parts into one session since I have a short week this week with vaca. All upper tomorrow. Cardio & booty Wednesday. And then possibly legs & cardio again Thursday if I have time. I know Dan needs to get in a session before we go. And I know I'll be running around like a chicken with my head cut off. So we'll see. But that's the plan!!
Scale up 1lb blame poor eating Saturday mostly. Add in TOM. We'll see what pre-vaca brings.0 -
Sorry about the delay!!! We were on the crazy house hunt weekend and then I took a half day off yesterday to do second showings on our two favorites and then we put in an offer. We will see how it goes. We are not happy with our realtor so if he botches this negotiation and we don't get this house we are going to probably fire him and take a break and then start looking again when we get back from Jamaica in the end of July. Thankfully, Mike's parents are gone until October so we can use their house until then and we are already planning on getting our stuff into a POD storage so we can wait it out if we need to. So sorry I have been so MIA but we are trying to get things moving before we leave tomorrow! Crazy I know!
Well I didn't work out on Sunday either. With all the events and showings (we saw 19 houses in 7 hours) there just wasn't enough time. My eating was bad over the weekend too. So I am just not getting on the scale until I am back from Galveston and have to face the music. :laugh:
Are you ready for vacay! I know I am but still so much to plan and prepare for!0 -
So how was the trip? Our was good. The weather didn't cooperate much but the kids had fun and it was nice to get away. Pretty chilly so I"m kind of relieved I didn't buy any new clothes. They would have been toast. Heck, I only put on my swimsuit for about 30 minutes the whole trip. It was more of a sweatshirt and shorts kind of weekend. Eating was eh. Sunday horrible but Friday and Saturday were not too bad. Was good to get back in the gym this morning. I have to call to find out what time Talan's surgery is schedule for. Then we can plan out my gym time, when to take Tarren to my Mom, etc. Hopefully he does okay with that tomorrow. He's starting to get nervous. I don't blame him a bit. I would be too.
Any word on house(s)?0 -
Trip was great. I once again went crazy overboard on the eating (and drinking) not getting on the scale until at least Friday and I am sure there will be some serious damage. Oh well. I am in detox now for sure. Sadly though I was so tired after getting home last night and cleaning out the whole attic that a 5am workout was just not happening. We will see if I can get anything squeezed in tonight but with the crunch time to get everything packed up this week and out of the house and into the POD this weekend, I think I will be lucky if I can get all my workouts in.
The house situation is such a beat down for sure! We put an offer in on a house and went back and forth like 4 times but just couldn't reach an agreement so we walked away. We might make an offer on the same house again once we are out of our current house and this house has been sitting longer. We still have other homes to look at and we have to focus on getting packed up and moved out of our current house this week so finding a new house is on the back burner for now (we are staying at my in-laws house while they are out of town and we find a new house).
I have to say it is going to be crazy the next few weeks. I am going to try my hardest to make sure I get my workouts in the next few weeks even though we are going to be like nomads. I have my p90x videos all set on my ipad and I just am going to take my set of weights and bands with me where ever I go! It stresses me out that I really don't have a place to workout but I need to make it happen since it is a good stress relieve plus I have to get off this damage before Jamaica!
Random side note though. I uploaded all the pictures from the trip (some which were bathing suit ones) and I can't figure it out. In some I am really pleased at how I look and in others I am so disgusted. Like how do I still have that much extra fat and cellulite when I am at the lowest weight I have ever been? uggghhhhh. Just can't think about it.
Glad you hear your trip was good. I will be thinking about you and Talan tomorrow! Good luck!!!0 -
I'll be back to check in when things settle down. I'm back to work (but things are in a HUGE uproar here), Talan's still struggling to recovery, and my Gram was checked into the hospital for a pacemaker. THings are hectic and I'm running out of time to get everything in! I hope all is going okay with you! Talk to you soon.0
-
Oh no! Hope everything turns out ok. Good for you to still be getting your workouts in with all the craziness. No worries, I am running on so little sleep from packing everything until all hours that I can't see straight. Just have to make it through this weekend!0
-
So catch me up. How's the packing/moving/storing going? Everything go okay with the closing? What workouts are you doing now a days? Able to stay on par with eating?
My eating Saturday was bare minimum. It was 90 degrees and we played volleyball all day. So eating was the last thing on my mind. Made up for it yesterday with eating everything. I did prep cook so everything this week (aside from birthday meal/cake) should be on par. My plan is 1 treat meal a week depending on what's going on. This week it'll be birthday then hold it together until 4th of July cook out. The goal for me the rest of the summer is lower body. Going to stop focusing so much on weight loss and work on just hammering on those glutes/hamstrings. We'll see where I end up.
Gram is doing okay. She looks worse for the wear but she's doing ok. Staying with my parents until her post-surgery check up. Talan is healing slowly. He wants to be able to eat but he just can't. Little things like diced up mac-n-cheese are okay but anything harder/rougher is too much for him. I am willing to bet he's lost atleast 5lbs. You can just look at him and tell. Hopefully his check up Wednesday says he's on course with healing.0 -
Glad to hear that your Gram is hanging tough and Talan is healing (even if slowly). I am sure he will be in great shape on Wednesday.
Yeah as for me.... well it hasn't been great. I left our house on Friday (after weighing in a whooping 7.5lbs up from vacation) Ok no biggie. It is a pain in the butt but 2-3 weeks of hard work and it all back to normal. However, I left on Friday to stay at my mom's house with Josie during the last phase of the moving out of our house. I am still working out (without shoes or equipment) via youtube videos but my eating has been horrendous since I am just eating what ever is at the house or whatever my mom is serving. I am feeling extremely flabby and gross right now. I must get back on track or I am going to see a gain again this week on top of the vacation gain. Which would be just craziness.
We are closing on our old house this week which is why we are working non stop to get it done. Then we go to stay at Mike's parents for a few weeks while we close on our new house (which is just go under contract with over the weekend) and then we need to do some renovations to the new house and then we move in! haha so much going on, I must keep the eating in check or I will be 300lbs!!!0 -
Yesterday was the big 3-1 for me. Couldn't really enjoy it with my little man in such pain. I pray this ends soon. His tears, my heart breaking...thank God Dan is a rock in this. I know being the solider of hydration and medication has to be wearing him out too. This is definitely a team effort because I just want to cuddle him up and soothe him. Dan is on top of getting down all that Talan needs to get in him. 345am this morning, he woke up from a dead sleep in pain. I pray this ends soon. And it darn well better be worth it in the long run!
Sounds like good news (busy, but good) on the house front. That is a lot of moving and packing and signing and typing up lose ends for you! You'll knock the weights/workouts/eating out of the park when things settle. Just stay sane for now! Sounds like you are managing with what you can fit in though. Props to you for not just calling it a time out until things settle!
Workouts still going well. Switched things up like I had planned post-vaca. Granted I had that 1 week of mostly cardio given Talan's surgery. But back to heavy @$$ legs yesterday, supersetted bi/back Monday, and some incline (for that booty lift) today. Tomorrow I believe I'm back on speed work for legs, chest/shoulder/tri Friday and then cardio & booty day Saturday. We'll see how this schedule works. I have DOMS from H-E-L-L right now. So foam rolling needs to happen.
Dan did order me some new blue camo workout sneaks that hopefully come in by Saturday. (http://www.footlocker.com/product/model:173031/sku:890440/new-balance-890-v2-womens/light-blue/navy/?cm=GLOBAL SEARCH: KEYWORD SEARCH) Talan loves camo and I wanted something a little obnoxious. LoL. The bright orange Nike Frees he got me for my birthday (that I thought I would never wear and ended up LOVING) have me hooked on 'interesting' colored sneakers. So my blue/grey Nikes needed traded in for something flashy!! Hopefully these new ones are as comfy as the blue/grey ones! I love new sneakers!0 -
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!! Sorry I have been sick and was barely on all yesterday. Josie and I are staying my parents while Mike finishes the last of the cleaning at the house before closing on Friday. We are also dealing with things on the new house which we are under contract with for closing (it has been CRAZY!). Just ordered some new furniture to be delivered the day after closing on the new house (which is in just over 2 weeks). So it has been nuts. This weekend was bad with food but good with workouts but now that I have this cold and been up with Josie my eating is spot on but no workouts
Can't wait until we get it going on all cylinders. haha
I am soooo sorry to hear about Talan. That is so heart breaking. Good for you for keeping it together with your workouts and diet through all of this. I can't not even imagine what you are going through. I hope he makes an EXTREMELY fast turn around. :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the well wishes for Talan. He slept through the night for the first time last night, so we'll see how his day with Dan goes. *fingers crossed*
2nd leg day workout. Was going to do plyo after but going to have to come up with a different spot for plyo because my legs were toast! Maybe before? Or after an upper body workout. We'll see.
I'm sorry you aren't feeling well! Stress does that to us, doesn't it?! Glad that you've been able to stay on top of your eating. That's 80% of the battle isn't it?!
I know you are busy so I won't rattle on! Hope everything gets tied up with the houses and that everyone starts feeling better soon!0 -
Yeah I am here I promise! Haha still sick with no real workouts but getting in lots of cardio running around for the closing of our house today. haha So we signed all the docs to sell the old one and are just waiting for the money to come through. Then tomorrow we meet with the contractor to go through our renovation list for the new house. We have no idea if we can afford this but we are going to see. haha. We shall see what we can pay to do now and what will have to wait.
We are now going to be moving into Mike's parents house since his parents are out of town until the fall. I have been staying with my mom while Mike was finishing the final move out and clean up.
Hopefully tomorrow I will get in a regular workout! We shall see. We have to price out a lot of stuff and make decisions and move stuff around my inlaws house and do laundry! It never ends does it? Well at least my eating has been good since I have been sick but I can't weigh myself since the scale is gone. haha Might be a good thing.
So glad things are getting better for Talan. Even if they are slow. And once again way to keep rocking it with the workouts 0
