Day 35 & 36

Saturday I ran so many errands I felt like I was going to crash. Grocery shopping can be quite the workout too. Yesterday I also did P90X again. I love doing it. It feels like jogging when it;s too hot outside. No results to report still. I also got another F in nutrition yesterday when I ate a bowl of ice cream. I have no excuse . It was yummy.

I just got a job to be a nanny! I am so excited to start. betcha that will make me lose weight so long as I hold off on the little hot dogs and macaroni that everyone feeds their kids these days!

Day 33

Just did one of the cardio P90X workouts. It felt great!

Day 31 &32

Yesterday I did unofficial exercise because the baby was really fussy and I had my work cut out trying to bounce and dance and sway to make her happy. Today I need to exercise today though because I have been eating out of boredom and not very healthy. Stay on target!

Day 30? Lets just say 30.

I ran yesterday and the day before. Today I am working in it amd believe me I am going to try, but I am so excited for the heat to calm down. I am so anxious about it and you know running helps when I am anxious. So I am definitely doing what I said I would do. I just wish I could lose 30 lbs...Oh my gosh...I just thought of something...What if I am pregnant? That would make me keep on weight right? I'm on the pill though. But I have heard sometimes...Oh boy I better check!

Day ...hang on... fri, sat, sun, mon, tues...3 days later than my last entry? Oops....

Okay so here is the update. The last time I blogged I had just chopped down a tree...As an extension of that day's entry my darling husband took me on a romantic date to Tempe Park and we walked for about an hour together. See?! That is the kind of living that keeps people skinny! Making it a part of your lifestyle and not even worrying about if you exercised or not! I need to practice that.
Since then I tried working out early in the morning, when the baby is still sleeping, Michael has gone to work, and the house is clean. It kinda worked. I get my heart rate up pretty good if I dance instead of jog in place. I have also made an effort to eat better, but my first month is almost officially up and I have only lost one stinkin' pound!! So the question is...how dedicated am I willing to be? It sounds like I need to be constantly focused on this project if any results are going to show. Guess all I can do is keep it up, but I might have to just take the heat and keep running. Sounds like an awful idea...Jeesh let's see what I can do first.

Day 23

Yesterday I ran very well because it was finally cool outside. I have been eating better as well. Today I am forfeiting my run because I had fun with my darlin husband chopping down my Mother-in-law's tree. My arms are very sore and I got a little blister becauseI forgot to wear gloves the first half hour we were at it. Now THAT is my type of exercise!

Day 22

HELP! I just ate two slices of pizza. It's too hot outside to run, but I have to do SOMETHING or I will go crazy. I need to hold on to my goal or I will never get it. Especially in the three month period I gave myself. I need to start again. I am sure every dieter says that. I guess I wouldn't have to start over if I didn't keep puttering out tho. Alright guys. Here we go again. I am going to wake up early to workout and find alternatives for unhealthy food. I will even keep score in a notebook or something for how many times I give in. That will make me more aware of how many times I do. The key to change is being aware of the problem. Let's see what this experiment will yield? I am soooo running tonight or I am going to go crazy!!!! AAaaaah!

20& 21

I tried out the workout that I designed the other day. The 10 min run indoors is kind of a hard part. Especially since running in place feels so ridiculous and it is much harder for me to get my heart rate up than if I was actually launching forward, so I tried doing burpies. This is a pretty good alternative because it makes my thighs really burn from jumps and recoils. I am also working REALLY hard on eating better, but frankly I think I am going to get pretty hungry if I am going to lose the weight I want. I know that sounds like a red flag to those who are educated about dieting, but I am still trying to learn about the healthy choices that satisfy me without having to eat two bags of cut celery before I feels full for lunch. This is harder than it looks. Good news though. I lost ONE pound. Jeesh! This is not easy stuff.

Day 19

On Saturday I ran again, this time with my sister Haley. That was nice because I don't get a lot of one on one time with some of my sisters sometimes. It was a bit short though because Haley started hurting really bad in her back, and she had been excited to run much more than even I had planned to. She is no wimp. I haven't checked on her yet. I will today. Like I said I am starting my diet alot better today. It's always easier to start on a Monday and I am going to do that workout I have been planning on. Let's see how it feels...

Day 17 & 18

The other day I decided to switch things up and do some hard core...ab exercises instead of run. I probably should have done more, but it feels good to work out other muscle groups sometimes. I practically spoiled it all by going out to a delicious Chinese dinner with my mother-in-law who just got back from vacationing in Indiana.
Yesterday I am ashamed to say I did NOTHING! I feel fat for it too. Even though one day isn't going to kill anyone. It's starting to feel like a downward spiral. Especially since I haven't lost anything, but not gained either. It's just not an easy thing to go running in the morning when I have the baby to look after, mid-day when it is SUPER hot, and afternoon when I only have so much time to spend with my darlin husband before he goes to bed at 8. So I have had to rethink all of this. I am going to redesign this whole project. I will still run, but I am going to do it in the early morning (more time in the day) and in my house (not hot),. The trouble is making sure I follow through because it is so easy to sit on the couch when every sit up puts you face to face with it. So here is the new workout I am going to try out.

100 crunches
20 squats
20 push-ups
10 eagles
100 supermans
10 min run
REPEAT thrice

Does that sound like a good enough workout? I will try it out. Ususally I would put jumping jacks in there too, but I still pee. One more thing. No meat this week and no white bread. We are going to kick this darn thing in gear!
