Where have I been since then...

Ok I'm back..If you are getting this post via email it's because I value you in my life and hopefully you will help keep me accountable. ...I realized my last post was on 7.11.11.  Whoa what happened to me? = life
Summary: Spudman was great.  I finished in just under three hours.  My goal for this year is to 'bury' that time. Not sure what that number is but I will figure it out.
I spent Aug-December gaining and loosing the same DANG 5lbs.  August and September I focused on biking and running the result was I did increase my average mph but my hip and bum started freaking out = alignment issues causing nerve and muscle spasms.  Begin stalking stage:  I promise I'm not a true stalker, but I kept running into this same girl. Darling, cute, petite, in awesome shape, girl. I figured out I had taken a few classes with her at Golds gym a few years ago, she is married to one of my dental clients, she has a child in kindergarten with my child, I would see her at the grocery store and pass her jogging on the road.  Finally, I thought OK she looks stinking HOT whatever she is 'doing' is working for her.  After a  few phone calls (I have my sources) I figured out her phone number.  I called and via a long introduction told her who I was, then told her she looked HOT and I wanted to know her secret. Lucky for me she was flattered and not freaked out.
She introduced me to Ryan at IMFIT.
He and his darling wife own a personal fitness gym in Layton.  After my first couple work-outs I couldn't walk nor could I raise my arms above my head.  Starting at the end of October meant sticking to a 'clean' diet and cardio and lifting routine throughout the holidays.  I did ok I didn't do great.  Brian decided to join me and we are making long term changes at our house.  Changes are happening slow but sure.  I'm measuring in a week and I will give you the status update.

7.11.11

Ugg holidays vacations and doing work at the cabin throws me off! I've got to find a way to power through those.

I'm a fit fat person and I don't like the fat part. Consistency is my problem. I do really well and then fall off the wagon.

The plan from now until the spudman is 'clean eating' with a lot of lean protein.

1-1.5 hours. Of exercise every day!!!! Come hell or high water!!!

Bets are back on!

Ok I just do better when I swear off sugar. Bet is from now until school gets out (June 3rd). First offense is $20 and $10 thereafter. You get 4 sugar passes between now and then to spend on whatever you want. (One serving of - counts as a pass - I can't have the entire bag of cadburry eggs count as one serving). Anyone game?

Soooo Slow!!! But....

But successful! 9lbs in 7 weeks is not a lot to shout about these days in terms of quick fix diets. But since I'm not on a 'diet'....progress is progress.
My goals for this next week are to stay super diligent in writing down everything that goes in my mouth.
Reach for the vegetables vs. the carbs
Be conscience of how much water I'm drinking. And NOT snack after dinner or the middle of the night!

Opposite problem

In 3 or 4 places lately I have read that as women we set a bad example for our children, especially our daughters, if we are picking at our bodies and dieting etc. I seem to have the opposite problem at my house. My children tell me I still look 'kinda pregnant' and my bum jiggles.
Hmmmm

Anyone up for a little Refined Sugar Challenge

I'm looking at my food journal and my cookie monster is a little out of control. The Challenge is no refined sugar from now until Easter. 1st offense is $20 every offense after that is $10. So if I had two cookies between now and Easter I would owe you $30.....or you would owe me.

Sometimes you don't wanna.

Ok started a new plan 3 weeks ago. Some things are different and some the same. More about that later because it seems to be working. One of the things that hasn't changed is that at 10:30 pm when I need to do 30 min of cardio I don't wanna. Back to the dirty little tricks 'just put on the shoes, don't think just put on the shoes'.
