  I am pretty happy with that:)
Even though my weight it the same as last week. 
I was not every good this weekend, and i missed a workout on Monday. That is the first time in months that i have missed. I felt terrible to for missing, but i have to realize that its gonna happen now and then. 
There will not be a Weigh in Wednesday next week. I am going to be in Jamaica (that's right be jealous:)) so i wont have a scale. I am going to take workout clothes though and take advantage of a full gym! 
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I will think of all of you while i am lying on the beach;)

Weigh in Wednesday!

Good Morning Everyone!
Hope everyone is having a good week so far.

As you know today is Weigh in Wednesday:)
I am very happy to share some exciting news with you!
Today i weighed in a 179!
Plateau BROKE!!
I am so excited!
Actually i weighed in on Sunday morning cause i was feeling thinner (if that's possible...hahaha)
and i weighed in at 178.5, but i had free day on Sunday and i pigged out ;)

I am so happy to have finally broken this plateau that hung over my for so long.
This just re confirms to me that the "Body for Life" book is working.
So far i have lost 5 lbs in 4 weeks, which doesn't seem like alot. You have to remember though that i had been trying to lose this 5 lbs for 2 months now, and working out 2-3 hours a night wasn't working either.
I now for out for 45minutes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and i do 15-20 minutes of cardio (before i eat anything) on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.
So much easier that what i was doing. This is definitely something i can stick with for life!

Weigh in Wednesday!

Good morning everyone!
How is your Wednesday going so far?

Well as you all know by now, Wednesday is my weigh in day....
Shall we get right to it?
Well after just 2 1/2 weeks on this Body for Life program,
my official weight is......180! I can hardly believe it! I am dead on with my plateau!
One more pound and i will have defeated it!
I am thrilled with this!

So now that's over, let me ask you a question....
Has anyone taken my challenge?
Read the book at least?
It works, trust me.
Now for some harsh words that i think so many need to hear......
Unless you decided that you are going to change your life, it will not happen.
Don't sit around and wait to get "motivated", because it probably wont happen.
You have to decide, "I'm going to do this for ME! For my kids, and spouse. I want to be healthy! I want to give God glory by taking care of the body he gave me" (its not our body but His)"
So whats your choice??
Do you choose to sit there in your own misery?
OR
Do you choose to take control of your life?
Ultimately the choice is yours, just remember that the next time you are in a dressing room trying on clothes
and you wanna cry because you don't like what you see,
or when you see a fit person and say "if only i looked like her", that person didn't get that way by sitting around waiting for motivation...........

Weigh in Wednesday!

Goood morning everyone:)
Today is weigh in day....
I know you can barley wait;)
OK so today i weighed in a 181.5!
That is down 2.5 lbs since starting this Body for Life book.....this makes for one happy girl:)
I am really enjoying the changes that this book is bringing.
It is teaching me that diets don't work (at least not long term),
It is also teaching me that certain lifestyle changes aren't realistic either.
You can not eliminate something from your diet and expect to never crave or eat it again.
Sometimes you just want pizza, or cake, or ice cream. Its just not reasonable to say
"I'm not going to ever eat that again cause its not good for me". 
On this plan i get a free day to eat what ever i want.
Now I'm not just talking about indulging a little, I'm taking about full fledged pigging out:)
I can have my cake, pizza, Chinese, pumpkin roll, ice cream, and a candy bar if i want.
I know what you are thinking. You just ruined your diet.
Wrong...i actually  made my week (not my diet) better.
When i allow myself to indulge once a week i don't tend to crave the unhealthy things, because i know i have a free day coming:)
I know that this probably doesn't make much sense just hearing it from me.
So let me make this challenge to you....
go buy the book and read it. Then try it for a few weeks.
Then let me know what you think about it. Tell me you don't feel better, that you didn't lose any weight.
Then i will believe that this doesn't work:)
As of right now, this is just awesome!
