Weigh in Wednesday!

So there was not much to report this week. My weight stayed about the same. Right about 176. I can handle that though.... I am increasing my water intake though. We will see if that helps.


I started the second half of Insanity Monday. It is crazy! I thought the first part was hard. I had no idea what was in store for me. I have been so sore all week. I am interested to see what the scale says next week.

So like I said not much to report. Just truckin' along and working my tail off. Sorry this took so long to post though. Busy day:) Mowing, Insanity, lunch and swimming with Ms. Stephanie and my kids. Welcome back summer:)

Wash..rinse...repeat....

So I wanted to add another post today to give an update. Yesterday when I weighed in my weight was 182.5. That didn't seem quite right even though I weighed twice. So I took it and accepted it as my weight. Today I weighed in Just cause I was curious. I have been very good with my diet and water intake and with insanity. Well I guess the hard work paid off. I weighed in today and the weigh in was 173.5. Same weigh in spot and everything. Not sure why it was so different except for the fact that I had been terribly bloated the last few day and today I don't feel that way. (Monthly just ended a few days ago). I guess I could probably chaulk the weigh gain up to that:) O well Just thought I would update:)

Weigh in Wednesday!

So its Wednesday once again.

This weekend was filled with lots of stress and adventures. I think these all played a part in my weight this week. First of all let me tell what my weight was. It was 182.5:( Meaning i have gained a few pounds since last weigh in:( This saddens me a little. At the same time i know that during this process there will be ups and downs. This weekend i let my self indulge a little. Not to much though.

Well lets start at the beginging.

Friday night the plan was to try and be there around sevenish. Ya....lets just say that didn't happen. Haha. We did arrive around 7:30ish though. We got checked in and went back to our site. When we pulled up to the site it did not look like the site we saw on the web site. It was more slopped than the one on the site and more shadded. O well we decided to park. It was a tough spot to back into, but Ryan had backed into worse, so we didn't think much of it. As he is backing up we hear a POP! We rush to the other side of the truck to see a nice dent in the side of Duane's truck. :/ Nice...... :/

After we finally got parked we realized the camper was leaning to the right terribly bad! So they decided to try and level it out. Ryan pulled forward, which ment pulling into the grassy campsite across the road from us. (Remember all that rain???) well while trying to back up he got stuck:( Great.....There were some guys just a couple camp sites over from us that hooked up to the back of the trailer and helped pull us backwards. :/ Finally we were parked. Still unlevel but parked...It was time to finally cook supper. Burgers and veggies it was...at 8:45 but better late than never....i guess. haha.

Saturday morning came way to early. One we stayed up and talked around the camp fire. Troy fell asleep in my lap and Kaydi fell asleep in Ryans lap. (How did i get the heavy one?) Two Kaydi did not sleep very well. I was up on and off most of the night. All i wanted when i woke up was some coffee. Ryan was on the same brain wave as me. So he got the coffee pot and decided to take it outside to make it. While at the top of the camper stairs, he dropped the pot.....crash and crack....broke clean in half. We have on of those thermas coffee pots. It broke right where the black handle and the silver part meet. Not a big deal, just one of those things where it just takes the cake........Lucklly you can buy just the replacement pot. I love this maker:) 

Most of Saturday was spent taking care of my little Troyer, who was throwing up and running a fever. He had (and still has) a terrible cough and lots of chest congestion. (which we figured out later in the day, was Kaydi's issue as well) We decided to go into town and get a few things that we forgot, and to get TT some meds. We then looked for a place to fish. Didn't really find anything that was not under water from all the rain. Troy got tired of walking so i carried him piggy back all the way back to the truck. Ryan told me how impressed he was with me that i could carry him up that hill. My thighs were burning by the time we reached the truck, but it felt good to get some exercise in. The rest of the evening consisted of rain, rain and more rain....can you say MUDD!! My feet felt like this all weekend long...

(these are not my feet, just how they looked...lol)

We gave Troy his meds and he ended up sleeping from 8pm-after 8am. He felt much better when he woke up.

Sunday started out great. Sunny and warm. We decided to take a row boat out and fish a little. Not one bite, but the kids enjoyed our little lunch on the boat:) Kaydi kept singing the duck song. Haha. Got any grapes???

On the way back in from the lake i decided that i wanted to row in. So i rowed the boat all the way in from the middle of the lake! ABS and arms baby!
We came back from the lake to discover we were under a Severe thunderstorm watch and tornado watch. (which were upgraded to warnings)  Great...... We decided to just wait it out at the camp site. It blew over very quickly and our evening continued. Corn hole and campfire:)

Monday was just beautiful! We spent the morning cleaning up and packing away. We then went to the beach. It was so nice. We had corn dogs and ice cream. 

All in all it was good weekend. We did have to shampoo the camper floors from all the mudd and i mowed the yard when we got home:) Camping is always fun, but always so much work. It is all worth it to see the kids have a good time and to spend time with friends:)

I hope everyone had a great weeked.

Now its time to get my self back on track. Time to kick back into weight loss mode!

First i have lots of cleaning and putting things away, to do from the weekend. I better get cracking!

Happy mid week already!!!

Weigh in Wednesday!

So its weigh in day..or should i call it moment of truth day?...ha ha

As i posted Monday i am starting to see a difference in my clothing and in my face. So i know i am still losing.

I stepped on the scale this morning and it said that my current weight is 177.5 and 34% body fat! Woo Hoo! That's only 2 lbs since last time, but its still a loss. I did measure as well. I was too curious to wait it out..he he. Well i am pleased to say that i am also down another 7.25 inches!! So after this i have come to the conclusion that i am an Insanity fanatic for life! I know it works so why waste my time trying to find another exercise.

This week is the final week for phase one! Can't believe its here already. When i started the program the first thirty days seemed so far away...and now here we are. Next week is the recovery week of Core Cardio and Balance, but don't let the word "recovery" fool you, i have watched this video....not easy! But then i guess it wouldn't be Insanity if it was:)

You may not hear from me for a few days. No worries:) Its Memorial Day weekend! YAY! We are going camping at Chain O Lakes campgrounds. I am so excited. First Camping trip of the year. I will still be watching my calories, even though i am on vacation. I will not be doing Insanity on Saturday while we are away, this is the first time since i started that i will miss a work out! I'm a little nervous. I am going to ride my bike and probably go for a run in the morning, just to get my exercise in. I will try and check in here Friday morning before we leave, but no promises:) I may send one over the weekend, if i am not to busy soaking up the sun and playing corn hole with friends:) I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day with family and friends. Remember to thank a soldier for all they do and to remember those who gave their all!

Sorry that i have not updated in a few days. Got a little busy.

We had such a great weekend! We had friends over Friday night for Supper and Corn hole! Then we played a little scum...(can't go with out the scum!)

Saturday we went out to Texas Roadhouse for supper with Kurt and Stephanie:) It was soooooooo yummy! I was so proud of my self! I stayed in the calorie count for the day, even with rolls and ribs:) (and of course a Raspberry Margarita that was...as Steph would say...delish:)) We then went to Cowboy Up in Medon, Mi. For Melissa's birthday:) It is a country western bar. We had so much fun with friends. 

 Then the camera came out and pictures started being taken. Steph and I took a picture and when i turned the camera around to see the picture boy was i shocked! It didn't even look like me.

I knew that i was losing weight and inches, but there is something about seeing a picture of yourself that just makes or breaks it. I was very pleased with the way that i am looking:)

O and by the way here is what i looked like a few months ago.

I can really tell in my face that i have lost:) Can't wait to post one at the 60 day mark!!!!
