Weight Loss update

So I joined a Gym!!! I have been going a few times a week for the past few weeks and I am feeling GREAT! I hope this will boost my weightloss so that I don't have to pretend like I didn't say I would keep you all updated on my weight loss anymore!!! First weigh in tomorrow morning. Send me good vibes k?

Walking group

I wonder if anyone in brantford wants to start a walking group? That would be so awesome! We could support each other and motivate each other.

Just a thought.

No more excuses.

Ok so? The weight loss thing? Going horribly. Yesterday I found out I GAINED 4 lbs!!! I have been SO negligent on the weight loss front though. Yes, I go to hip hop on Tuesdays. Horray. Yes it's a GREAT workout. However, that is pretty much ALL I do exercise wise. The winter really had me in a funk. I was feeling sorry for myself and what do we do when we feel sorry for ourselves? We eat. Well? No more. Right now I am snacking on some carrots. I am going to restart the South Beach diet this coming week and I got a 7 day free trial membership to try the local Athletic Club. The problem is? My husband doesn't like spending money. I think though this is money we are going to HAVE to spend. I need a change. I say I will exercise at home. It never happens. I need to get my ass in dear, get up early every morning and go to the gym. My body isn't going to get how I want it on it's own.

So no more excuses!
No more emotional eating!
No more fried chicken for breakfast (only once but still gross right?)
No more, no more, no more!
It's time to take charge of my body and my weight and ACTUALLY do something about it! I lost 12lbs the last time i started South Beach, so I know I can do it again!

Starting weight as of today? 182lbs. I will update MONTHLY because I say weekly, but I have 2 small kids and a very busy schedule so monthly it is.

Thanks in advance for all your support!!!

Weight Loss update.

So I'm a bad girl and forgot to update you all! Oops! I am down another 1.8lbs. Very SLOWLY crawling along. I have a 7 month old as you know and the whole lack of sleep thing is making me lag. Excuses aside I NEED to step it up. So now, not only do I do hip-hop tuesday nights, but I have sworn to do crunches on commercial breaks while watching my shows (American Idol, House, Medium, 30 Rock -right now-). I did about 150 last night while watching Michael Jackson: Ghosts on Much More Music. Not too shabby eh? Anyone have good tips for boosting your metabolism?

Weight Loss progress

I am reading Jen Lancaster's "Such a pretty Fat" for the second time and have been inspired to start tracking my weight loss progress via my blog! I think having to track it on here will motivate me better!

I have a 6 month old baby and had gotten up to 222 LBS by the end of my pregnancy because I had Oedema:

I joined Spark People today which is a website that helps you track your calorie intake, fitness/ calories burned and weight lost.
 
I take Hip Hop with my daughter every Tuesday for 1 hour and usually do Pole Fit as well but won't be this month because taking Hip Hop instead.
 
Will work out at LEAST 15 mins a day (cardio), possibly longer, while baby naps.
