Well I hope I can do it this time. I have tried to lose weight in the past and had some sucess but then stopped when it got to hot to want to move...lol me and summer do not get along. But this time I am going to do it! My goal for now is to get back to where I was just before my last pregnancy which was 160 lbs. During the pregnancy I ballooned up to 220lbs and have managed to get back down to 180. Up til now my routine was walking just about 10 k five days a week it is a pain during winter as it does get super cold.

So now my plan is to workout at least four days a week plus the walks, and not really change my diet but I'm giong to eat smaller portions and incorporate a couple of snacks. I'm using fitday so I can keep track of what I eat and log my workouts/activities.

Well here is to trying my best!

Sweet the kids are having a nap so I will be able to get a workout in. I think i will do some about 30 min of cardio and then do a full body workout tonight once the kids are in bed (it's just easier not having them in the way especially the baby).
 
Welcome, and good luck. If you need anything just let me know. I know how hard the summer can be, especially when it comes to workout.
 
Welcome! Great job on the workouts. I know what you mean about not wanting to work out in the heat. How early do you plan to do your workouts? I do mine insanely early (I have insomnia).

I'm thinking its going to have to be about 5am. I got to beat my kids out of bed lol they are early risers.


did my full body workout my arms are now rubber lol but that is good just hope I can lift the baby tomorrow.

Wow my old man has seen the light! He is willing to help me anyway he can, I am amazed he has never wanted to help me. I think he has realized that I want to do this for myself and my happiness. So now when I want to work out he will take the kids for and hour or just play with them in their room. WOOHOOO! lol :D:D

On another note I am not as sore today as I though I would be although it is still earlyish that may change as the day goes on. I am going to have to do some streching today to keep my puny muscles happy..lol.

Glad to see you are pushing towards the right things in life. The small changes you are making is going to make huge changes. You said you aren't as sore now..imagine a month from now. You will be adding to your workout cause you need to push yourself more :)

You are doing great. Keep up the spirit (especially with the help of the old man)
 
Thanks guys. It will be much easier now knowing that when I want the time to do it I can have it.

I have 3 months until my birthday and I'm hoping to be able to wear an outfit I bought a couple of months back and if it doesnt fit well that is ok to because I know it will fit eventually...

Congratulations on your decision to change your life. I have about the same stats. Baby up to 224-->168 16 months later and now I'm 165 since January 18th!. I know you can do it. :)
 
Well I just finished a good stretching routine now I feel every muscle that I worked yesterday, they are a little sore but I would say that is a good thing. I'm going to try and work out again tonight maybe with my old man.
 
You will get there! I started out with lots of walking but now its really not doing much for me, then again I'm always walking with my kids so its not at a very fast speed. lol They need to grow taller so they can keep up with me lol.
 
Last night was a bad night, I was watching a movie and ate an entire bag of chips. I feel bad now because I know I should have only had a few but hey were yummy! lol And I haven't had chips in months. So today as punishment I'm going to do one of my harder workout dvds, so next time there is junk food around I won't eat it all as I will remeber the hard work I will do the next day lol. Then maybe I will learn to not be so mindless when munching out.

I don't think putting it as punishment is quite the right idea. I think a better idea is remember balance. The scale (so to speak) tilted slightly the other way so over the next week, shave some calories here and there. The bag of chips will be balanced out.
 
True but if I think of it as punishment I will remeber better if it happens again. I just have to be more aware of what I am eating.
