Hola, chicas!

FIRESWAN: I haven't tried ear plugs before. Might have to have DH bring a pair home from the factory and try it.....

My net carbs for yesterday was 109. I'm trying to keep it around 100, so I'm getting closer!

Last night's sleep was much better. DH and I got up to do our workout, which went.............. okay. We are doing a routine that neither one of us has done before, something new - and when we went downstairs, DH had reorganized the weight room a bit, not sure why he put things where he put them? It was stressing me out because after every exercise, we have to cross paths to get to our weights and then cross paths again to get to our weight benches. After a while, I pointed this out to him, suggested that we move things around a bit - and my DH got a little........... snarky. "Just say it, I'm in your way....." He then repeated it over several times in the next 10 minutes until I admitted "Yes, you are in my way - and I am in your way, and this is costing us time." Needless to say, we were supposed to get 5 circuits done in 25 minutes - but we only got 3 circuits done in 35 minutes.

Ok, my DH is Mr. Mountain Man Macho Factory Worker, but right then, he sounded like a whiny beeotch. ROFL. He was just being snarky cuz he was tired and he had realized how out of shape he is, I think. I made it up to him by making his lunch for him while he was in the shower and making a protein shake for him to drink on his commute. He left in a much better mood.

Oh and after class tonight, I will be reorganizing the workout room. Tomorrow morning is LBWO, a lot of exercises I haven't done in a long time due to low back issues. I'm gonna take it really easy and probably wear a weight belt to protect my lower back. Can't afford another low back injury, specially being in massage school and so close to being done! I have 25 more clinic massages to do to graduate, and a low back injury would put that on hold - not a good thing!

I have another workout planned over lunch - cardio at the gym, so will likely get in my 10,000 steps pretty easily today. Floors, not so much, but will do my very best! Y'all have a LOSER day!

Well, crapola - looks like my post didn't save from earlier.

Happy Hump Day, Jump Starters!

Where are y'all today? I'm living life, living the dream today - feeling great. Lunch cardio workouts going very well - early morning workouts have been switched to every other day as hubby is very sore from his UBWO yesterday. That's okay. He hasn't lifted weights in years and I don't want him to injure himself.

I had two killer tests this week in school - one was last night and I passed with 88%. Would have liked to be 95 or above, but I'll take what I can get. The other test is tomorrow night, and this particular teacher loves those complicated trick questions, so my internal mantra during the test will be "read every question twice before answering." Not worried about the content - just worried about those darn complicated questions!

I was talking to one of the school's owners last night about belly dancing - am thinking about taking some classes this summer, maybe after I get done with my clinic massages. No time for them right now. Anyone ever done belly dancing? Looks like fun to me!

These weeks are flying bye. How many more weeks on this challenge

So far so good. I've been on track with my exercise and food this week. Now I'm going to start bumping up the exercise to 1.5 hrs per day. I was able to do that yesterday and I felt great. I had a rough 30 min work out (30 day shred) this morning, but got through it and felt great after. I've got to get to bed by 10:15 or so if I'm going to get up at 5am. So, now I just have 1 hour of working out to go today.

Got on the scale and I about threw it out the window. :noway: I keep gaining and losing the same 3 lbs over and over again...so frustrating. Hopefully, by the end of the 6 weeks I'll have lost something! I took my measurements and my before pictures on tuesday, so if the scale doesn't budge, my body shape should change!!!! If not, I'm going to call Biggest Loser!!!! ha!

mantra: Be Consistant; No Excuses; Get Results

Have a great day everyone and stay motivated!

Great work! You are doing great! Have fun at the Drive in!

Been consistent with my exercise and logging. Did day 6 of 30day shred today, walked all over town. Got 10 flights of stairs, and 12,360 steps today. Feeling better every day!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I have just sucked this week! But got some low carb meals planned and bought for the week. Even have tomorrows meals cooking now (slow cooker is great). Have egg muffins baking and will cook bacon in the morning to go with them (for a few days). I am going to do this, dangit!

Hope your A/C is fix soon. This Texas heat is for the birds. And they seem to love it. You would think they all fly north to be coller

Heeeeeelllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (stops to listen to the echo.....) Anyone still around?

Hey everyone! Sorry for going dark for so long. I've been overwhelmed with work to get done at home. Between getting and keeping the house clean and applying to seminary, it's been a handful. Last night I had a workshop to attend online while getting the kids to bed. Handful! Anywho, I'm still here and still going. I've lost a few pounds and I'm still working hard. Now I just have to survive the weekend!
