Saturday....
Well, it's saturday and usually that consists of being on the move in this house....we r usually never home! We are always out and about. Well, today was no different. We started the day headed to the dump then back home, switched cars and off to Ottawa. Then on down the road to Lima to look at a boat ( summer fun!). We ended up finding a new fishing spot....got out (which I usually don't wanna get out lol), ended up taking a great walk! It wasn't probably more that a quarter mile but it felt great! My knees are not as sore as they were before we started...I'm surprised!
Finally back home and cleaning house. And for anyone that knows me...I hate house work lol. I've actually got a lot done (except our room of course lol). Meatloaf in oven and just taking a break after vacuuming. Feeling blessed today that I actually feel excited about this process! That is the best feeling of it all! Knowing I'm bettering myself, my hubby and kids are behind me totally and feeling like I have a new lease on life! And actually, this will sound crazy to most of you, but I'm actually looking forward to Christmas this year! Early I know but....being able to I've my kids more options while they shop for me...gets me feeling like a kid again....they have had a time in he past but this year will be soooo different!
FYI, anyone wanting to try the wraps at Arby's...try them they are very good!
After last night for dinner I am doing great today ! Had fried chicken which I was surprised wasn't carb overload! Dinner roll, salad and corn. Should not have eaten the corn, that had the most amount of carbs! I couldn't believe it! The biggest difference I felt last night was feeling yuckie! I have had very minimal grease this last week and it sure did a number on me lol! Well, back in the saddle and away we go!!

Let the insanity begin.....59 more days lol..
Well, I'm on my 4th day of watching my intake. I'm down 5 lbs. ya gotta start somewhere right?
After not getting to eat my lunch until late n the day...work was finally over! S I gathered up the mail and took it to the post office. And that's when it happened....Pam ( the postmaster) handed me my package! I knew instantly what it was....bummed, I thought I got an extra day lol
I ordered insanity workout...I know I won't be able to do everything like they do because they are already fit....and I am so not! Lol.
Well, long story short, I sit here after my shower recovering from just the first fitness test....omg...lol....that's all I can say. I made it through the 25 min, only not doing one session...pretty proud of myself !
Like I said...59 more days lol
Took a beginning picture but I'm to ready to face that yet.....but I will soon......I think lol

Reflecting...
Day 1:
New frame of mind, new outlook on this giant elephant sitting on my back. This fat HAS to go! No more up and down on the roller coast of losing weight. I have to do this, I'm too young (40) to feel this damn old! From my legs and my feet killing me to my knees that make me want to just cry.
I find myself reflecting on why and how I let this happen, let it get to this point...let myself just go...
Honestly, without the aches I still feel like I did in my mid 20's and I can't complain about that until I get up then my reality smack hits me dead on....OUCH!
My kids sneak pictures of me on their iPods but I go back in and delete them...total denial once again and yep, another smack from that bitch reality! Lol
Why the sudden change? Telling my 4th grader the only reason why I don't want or refuse to go to the class baseball game with him...I tried the horrible excuse of, "I have to work" to..."I know you won't listen to me if I do go". Well, he wasn't buying any of it, so I had to dig deep, deeper than I usually like to go....and there it was...I didn't want to be an embarrassment for him. I wanted him to go and have a good time and not worry about Moms butt not fitting in the seat and hearing the snickering....something I never thought would happened has...disappointing my son.
How can I teach my kids not to worry about what people say about you, that it doesn't matter...but, this was exactly what was happening. I don't know if I could go to the game, squeeze into that seat pushing lots of me from the back to the front...how pretty is that?
Well, enough of that....
So, on to day two....surprised at myself that today food wise went very well...no chance to walk tonight, had to go to town and get my lunches for the week.
Tonight however is a different story! I ate all my carbs and didn't go over but it's 11pm and I'm starving...oh we'll lol. Finish my gene tea and hit the sack and start all over 😃
