Well, yesterday actually turned out to be pretty good. The sun finally came out and we were able to get into the pool and do some laps. That was cool. In addition to that, I did some working out in the house during the day. The diet went well too. Minimal “picking” at work last night! yeah….Now to keep it up! Let’s see what today brings… If it brightens up a bit, I’ll get some swim time in. I think I’ll do a pilates dvd today. OH- And I ordered the Turbo Jam dvd’s today. I was leary about it because I read poor reviews about the customer service. (people not getting their product at all or in a timely fashion and being overcharged on their credit card). So, I ended up ordering it on —- QVC!!! Good ole QVC, a very bad addiction!! So, I’ll let you know how they are and if they’re actually worth the money.

Now to get a quick nap in!!

Hi everyone!

Another dreary day in good ole’ CT!! More rain! That means I’m stuck with only 2 options- go to the gym which I HATE. I mean, I’m ok once I get there, but it’s the getting there that I don’t like much!! Or, work out with video’s which bores me quickly. I guess it’s the videos. Damn. I can ‘t wait for the nicer weather!! I’d much rather swim laps, walk/hike, or bike ride.

I’ve been doing better on the diet aspect though! Really making more of an effort to decrease my carb intake. I’ll take a shake to work for later. And hopefully, I won’t PICK at all the junk there!! Ever since I quit smoking in May, I tend to find myself bored and picking at food. I’m not hungry. Just bored I think…..

Well, hopefully that scale will drop down soon!!

Later,

Heather

Hopefully I can stay on track this time! It’s been 10 months since I’ve had my last child. Long enough to start losing some excess weight! Funny, how when I was in my 20’s and had kids, I just dropped the weight afterwards. Now, ever since I passed the 30 mark, it’s been a bit of a battle.

All the weight seems to be around the middle. Stomach, love handles, etc. I have to really make a conscious effort every day to exercise. I don’t particularly like to workout though, that’s the thing. And, furthermore, I happen to LOVE to eat. (It wasn’t always that way, I used to be such a picky eater). So, in addition to adding some physical activity into my daily “routine”, I really need to improve my eating habits.

If you have any good ideas for cardio, I’d love to hear them! I have the pilates dvd’s for my abs - or “core” as they say. And I can feel them, I know I have a 6 pack, for sure! They are just buried beneath a few layers of you know what! I also started walking with the baby recently. I joined seemommyrun.com so that I would be held a little more accountable as a group leader. Unfortunatly, the rain has put that on hold.

Well, we’ll see how it goes. I WILL lose this weight. And I WILL fit into my clothes again!
