T minus 12 days!!!

The countdown has begun!!

12 Days from now i will be writhing in pain from doing push-ups, sit-ups and the dreaded burpees, and i cant wait!

I broke out the Body for Life book and have started making my meal plans. I'm getting ready to make my exercise plans as well. it will include insanity daily along with some strength training and a little C25K! I promised a friend that i would run a 5k with her this year, so i guess i should train:)

I am so ready to start this. I love when i am motivated:) It makes the whole process so much easier.

I have learned though that pushing through the tough times is really hard, but so so worth it.

I know that some of you may think, "well i would love to do that but i just don't have time to work out." Everyone has time to work out. If you tell yourself that you don't you are lying to yourself.

 

 

 

A 1 hour of working out equals only 4% of your day. 4%! Who doesn't have time for that??

 

Well i need to turn in for the night.

The next time you see my blog will be my official "start over" weight, not so happy about stepping on that scale, but so ready to see it drop!

Nighty, night all:)



Remember me??

Remember me? Amanda? I know its been a while. I'm back though! Lots of things have changed since my last post. I had a baby for one. He is a beautiful, healthy baby boy.

His name is Toby Alan Zook and he completes our little family.

 

 

 As the holiday's approach I cannot help but be thankful for everything God has placed in my life.
A husband who loves me and the kids and works hard to take care of us, a warm home with a soft bed, two vehicles that run and get us from point A-B, a good job that is excited for me to come back after being gone for 8 weeks on maternity leave, and a church family that welcomes us with open arms. I could go on and on.
I also am thankful for health, but I also have to do my part.
Since having Toby I have gained some of my weight back. I have let myself go lately. I have not exercised in a while and have not been eating right.
So here is where the blog picks back up.
Starting January 1st I will resume kicking butt!
I will be starting Insanity again, and am dreading it to the fullest....HA!
I can not wait to see the scale needle drop again and January can't come soon enough.
So you may ask why I don't just start now.
Well first of there are the holiday's, I mean come on I don't want to try and fit in a 60 minute work out over Christmas. Second there is all that holiday food....enough said there!
Third, I want to make sure that I am prepared for this to the fullest:)
Weigh in Wednesday will resume the last Wednesday of December with my official restart weigh in!
Excited to get this train back on track!!!
So who's with me?
Who has made a commitment to their health this year?
It can be more than just a broken new years resolution. If you need someone to be accountable I would be more than willing to be that person for you!
I will be checking in on Wednesdays until the big weigh in day.
See ya soon~
 

A very frustrating...Weigh in Wednesday!

So, as you can tell by my title, I'm a little peeved!
I get to these points every now and then. Where I feel like I am doing everything that I can think of to lose weight and it doesn't come off. Not only does it not come off but I actually gain!!!!
Yesterday I was so good. I had 3 apples for snacks drank 100+ ounces of water, but when I stepped on the scale this morning I had gained a half pound!!!!! Ugh.......
So here's the thing. I think sometimes we tell ourselves we are doing awesome and that we ar doing everything in our power to lose weight, when really we are lying to ourselves. Looking back I know that I had mistakes and that I wasn't truley doing everything in my power. Like working out for example. I did not work out yesterday. Had I worked out my weigh in results probably would have been different.
So my official weight was 184....:P
O well to another day we go.

Weigh in Wednesday- a day late.

Yesterday was kind of busy so I didn't get it posted.
I hate not having my computer! It's so easy for me to forget when I have to do it on my phone.
So lets get to it...
Yesterday I weighed in at 183.
That's a 2 lbs loss.
I'm pretty happy with that.
I have not made a commitment with Amber. Everyday I will text her aand let her know I worked out:) If she doesn't hear from me then she.is going to text and ask if I worked out:)
I am so excited about that accountability! !
So next week my goal is to be down another 3 lbs by Wednesday:)
I'm back to doing insanity. Lets just say you know you worked hard when you can hardly sit down on the toilet to pee! Haha.
So I guess its time to get some things done so I can workout when I'm baby sitting.

Its time.....

Ok so I am back. Its been hard to post because I have to do it from my phoneso I can't add pictures or anything to my posts:/ I'm planning on getting the correct cord for my computer So that I can actually use it again:) That and I got pretty side tracked the last few weeks.
I am so ready to get back into this.

I'm actually starting over. Clean new slate:)
New starting weight is 185
Today Tanya and I are going to be starting insanity. Yay! Its just what I need to get my butt back in gear!
I am also going to be lifting weights too. I still really need to tone.
I've also been thinking about trying a Zumba class. Not sure about that yet. I'm not very coordinated. Haha

Ok so water is being guzzled and I'm getting ready to lift weights and clean house. See ya tomorrow( I'm going to try and post daily to get back in the routine and to hold myself more accountable:))
Adios:)

New year, New goal!

Ok so I know some of you probably think I dropped off the face of the earth. Well I can assure you I didnt:)
I did however stop watching my intake and stopped exercising.
I was having a hard time finding motivation to push through my challenge. So I decided to just take a break. I enjoyed my Christmas break with my family, but I woke up this morning ready to jump back into it.

Before I did anything I decided to weigh in and get a brand new starting point.
I weighed in at 186.5ish. We're gonna just say 187. So that means I gain 7 pounds over the last 3 weeks.
No happy with it but my body is no longer in diet mode, which was my goal:)
I did turbo fire and had a good breakfast. I drank lots of water:)
I have lots more things I want to post but I am not on my computer.
I'll try and do that tomorrow :)
Until then.....I'M BACK!!!!
