:p
Went to the doc for annual lady parts checkup. Scale said 290.somethin or another. I even saw it flash the 289! I wish my scale at home was that nice to me, but it's okay, I have lost another pound and it came down to 291. I hope to start Zumba again tomorrow, even though my normal instructor won't be there and the sub is a lot harder, but I wanna do it....no reason not to. I don't know what classes I will be able to attend soon as opening day for baseball is the 7th and we will have 2 games to juggle with. So, Saturdays may be out....Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-5 we have one practice and the other practice is so far? just Wednesdays from 7-8...but we will see.
Easter is coming up and my family doesn't seem to have any big plans. We have all the kids this year which means my family probably won't want to do anything, which is fine, I will have Nick help me make food here :0) I wish my sisters lived up here (hurry up, summer!) so that I could spend the holidays with them. I miss them.
Well, off to soothe fussy babies!

Holy crap!!
Pardon the French!
I have been bedridden for 8 days now. I stepped on the scale today to see if I had at least maintained my weight over the week, only to find the scale has been rather pleasant to me!! I weighed in at 291.2.....heck YES.
I AM ONE HAPPY GIRL!!

Happy Pi (3.14) Day!
What day is it? I have no idea anymore...they all seem to run together lately. I know I fall down for some sleep around 10p and wake up at 630a, but then I'm lost LOL
I drug myself to zumba last night. I didn't wanna go, but I didn't wanna sit around in the aroma that was the nachos I made for dinner (and didn't eat....until later). So, I grabbed my water bottle, stopped and got my niece and headed to class. It was an amazing class, as usual! Katie had a great time and picked up some good moves. I left sore and sweating like mad. :)
I realized I need to remember that I don't eat as big of portions as I used to. I couldn't fight the cravings today and ended up having my fave comfort food, mac and cheese. I made one box to give enough to the two kids I had today and I would eat the rest. It wasn't that much as I had accidentally dumped quite a bit down the sick (oops!)....maybe just over a cup? Then I wanted to add chili to it. I ate it so fast that my stomach didn't have time to tell me it was full and now I am so full, I am miserable! Ugh.
Well, you live and you learn.
My rings are starting to hang off my fingers and spin much more than normal. The one on my right hand easily fits on my middle and pointer finger of my left hand. Amazing! My pant legs are so much looser than normal, this is just so awesome!
Until next time!

Is this my Monday?
I *live* for zumba, anyone should know that by now...today....today I just don't wanna go. :( I will...I just don't wanna.
It's been a slow, cold, uneventful day and I almost want to keep it that way. But I want to go to my room and close the door and just lie there in the dark. I'm not sure why.
Yesterday morning, I made an Almond Joy shake. It was delicious. I didn't feel like having a fruit shake, nor did I feel like having anything thick. So, I made it really thin and downed it. It was amazing. I had a 1/2 c. of low fat cottage cheese for a snack, with no lunch cause my tummy was messed up and then made madarin chicken in the crockpot and mashed red skinned potatoes with bacon and cheese in it. It, also, was delicious. During my online seminar, I got hungry, so I made a double batch of Almond Joy to let Nick try it and he was impressed, too. It settled me for the night.
I woke up this morning to snow, made a cherry banana breeze shake and went to Tanya's cause I was bored. She fed me a sausage muffin with cheese (I know I shouldn't have, but it was yum!). For lunch I had a small portion of dinner that was leftover and for dinner, I will skip taco Tuesday and have a shake and drag my booty to an hour or two of Zumba and hopefully shake this grump!
Accomplishments in the last week:
I am comfortable in jeans again
My shirts are magically longer
My "goal" bra fits
I said goodbye to 300, for forever!
My #1 most favorite accomplishment thus far....I am totally a stomach sleeper again! I can sleep flat on my stomach without feeling like all my organs are in my throat and having my stomach hurt! And I can breathe while I do it! YAY!!! (I know, I'm lame :p)

Goodbye 300!
Me: "We need to go to the gym today."
Hubby: "Why?"
*blink blink*
Men. :p
So, I have had 4 days off from working out. Not by choice, but had to. I never take that much time off (except when I was sick) and I feel so 'off'. I end up doing little things just cause, running to Eli's bus twice a day at the end of the driveway, running to the mailbox and back, power walking to the bathroom when Tanya and I got to Food 4 Less yesterday LOL
I have Zumba on the Kinect and while I love to be able to do it while I am at home, I don't like it nearly as much as I love going to the classes. The Kinect takes so long to warm up and whatnot....but, no excuses! I need to just do it but I am so strained on time in the morning from the time the kids leave for school until the day care kids come is only 25 mins. I usually do a 20 min workout and that's it. Nothing compared to the 1-2 hrs I do on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
I have officially said goodbye to 300 lbs! I no longer bounce around and tease being under it, I am 294 and far enough away to be able to never see that evil number again! I have lost several inches, not sure exactly how many, but know that since Thursday I have lost a bra size, almost 2 and my shirts fit so much better without such a huge roll on my gut!

Have you ever? (TMI?)
Have you ever had underwear become too big? Me either....until the last week or so! I am very picky and like to have close fitting undergarments, but still comfortable and I couldn't figure out why my favorite kinds of undies weren't comfortable anymore. It dawned on me this morning that they are TOO BIG!
Sorry, this excites me to no end. :p
I still haven't lost any more weight, but I can tell the inches are still melting away because my clothes are fitting much differently. My stomach is now smaller than my boobs, just a little, but it is! It's easier for me to bend over (though the acid reflux makes that difficult), to do my stretches for Zumba and I am even moving better for Zumba. I don't get winded walking up our slight incline of a driveway and well, I'm amazing, what can I say?!
I don't post pictures for anyone to see that isn't a head shot, but I'm proud of what I am becoming and decided to post this. Now mind you, I am leaning back to get the pic, so my tummy looks bigger than my boobs *sigh* LOL

Last night I managed to make it through about 3/4 of my first zumba class before my sciatica kicked in and I couldn't move. Knowing I had planned on back to back classes, I shot a text to Nick to bring me some pain relief and in the meanwhile, sat with my water bottle full of ice on my back/butt cheek and chilled for a few songs. I got back in for a couple more songs, then left for the next class.
I did the 2nd class pretty well, the meds had kicked in and I was able to move pretty well. The 2nd class is always harder because not only am I already worn out from an hour workout, it's on carpet and it's a LOT harder to move the way we need to! LOL The instructor makes it look so easy peasy.
I did it, though. It was a good workout and we came home and showered, put the kids to bed and went to sleep. I slept well last night (which doesn't happen very often) and had a hard time getting up to face the morning.
I'm still teasing the 300 mark, but I have been barely under for 2 days now, so hopefully I will never see that number again. My shakes are rescheduled to be delivered tomorrow, which bums me out some, but I will be happy when they get here, regardless!
There is no workout tonight, I work late and I need a time out. No workout tomorrow (maybe zumba at home in the morning) cause of parenting class (only 2 left, yay!), and working late again Friday. Zumba will resume Saturday morning!

Whew!
Well, it's been over a month since I have posted. No big surprise, I am a slacker. A lot has happened in this last month. Nick and I signed up for the gym (I don't remember if I had mentioned that), I'm still doing Zumba as often as possible, I have started school and I have been sick for 2 weeks yesterday.
Despite all of this, I have tried my best to stay on top of the work outs. I am frustrated with the scale though. With my last weight loss, before all my leg surgeries, I had lost 30lbs in about 6 weeks. This time I am only down about 15 in the same amount of time and I keep teasing the 300 mark. One day I will be 302, the next I'm 298, then 300, then 299, etc. It's pissing me off. LOL I know muscle weighs more than fat and blah blah blah, but I don't care! I wanna see results! I know I have lost inches, clothes are fitting better and I don't look like I'm 8 months pregnant, but I want the numbers! AHHHH
Oh well, they will come soon enough! Tomorrow I will receive my first 90 day challenge kit from Body by Vi and I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited to get started! I've heard the first week is hard to get adjusted to, but realized I am already on a suppressant for breakfast and lunch, so if I ditch the suppressant and put the shakes in to replace it and I should be good! I will be juicing for my snacks and having dinner with the family (I can't miss the one meal we are all together!).
Last night we squeezed a trip to the gym in. Nick is in love with the elliptical and I have to do the recumbant bike for now with my foot hurting the way it does. We did a straight 45 mins and I biked 10 miles! Yay me! and yay to my honey, cause I don't think I could do the elliptical that long!
Tonight is (hopefully) a double class of Zumba, given my lungs hold out that long. I'm so tired of coughing!
