Saturday!!!

Well, I woke up early, unzipped the tent "door" and got a good steady state cardio in! 1 hour on the elliptical. Decent workout! My three kids and I "CAMPED" in the family room last night. My sister got them camping gear, so I thought it would be fun for them! They loved it!! So that's it on the workout front today....

Eating....
Today was my oldest sons birthday, so here we go....
He says... "Daddy, can you make some of your world's bestest pancakes?" How can I resist that? :D So we had pancakes!! Then for lunch, grilled cheese, for dinner, he wanted me to make my spaghetti, so spaghetti it was! Follow that with birthday cake and icecream, and you have a very unhealthy, but RARE day! He loved every minute, and so did I! I'll do some cardio tomorrow to make up for it!!
 
How cool!! Camping in the living room. My brother and I used to have these tents which attached to our beds and they were so fun! What a blast! Glad your son had such a great birthday! Sometimes the benefits of those rare days outweigh the detriments:) Have a great rest of your weekend!

Sounds like a carb load to me. You'll be fine :D

How's it going, anyway?
 
wow JZ, that sounds like so much fun! and having a day of splurges with food isn't always a bad thing, especially not for your son's birthday. it sounds like you had enough fun to make up for the food. ;) and bravo for getting your cardio in. didn't want to have to get tough with you. :D

Thanks Mishi! It was a BLAST! We even told ghost stories.... nothing too scary.... And yes, Aidan's B- day was terrific. You are right about those rare days... well with regards to eating.... I was reminded how that garbage makes me feel!! I was up late with an upset stomach! :)

Hey Shandy... It was alot of fun! And yes, I got my cardio in before hand! I don't need you coming in here and kickin' my butt or anything!! ;) ;) :D
 
Sunday (morning)

Well, got up and got some good cardio in... this is usually my "rest" day, but with the eating I did yesterday... I had to get in a good session! 30 minutes "fat burning circuit" on my tread mill, followed by 30 minutes on the heavy bag! I think the heavy bag is doing amazing things for my arms, shoulders, and chest. I LIKE IT! It's a great workout, and releases all kinds of frustrations!!
 
YUCK! Upset stomach!! That's no good. It's amazing how the body responds to what you put in it and what you make it do. I remember that feeling after eating something not so good for me and really it's a wonder that I crave the things I do... self-destruct mode maybe?? lol. It's nice to get to a point where you body is healhfully satisfied and the cravings for crap food are nil!
Happy Sunday!
Have you ever pinned photos to the bag?? lol Sometimes I get so mad at my husband that beating on something sounds so good. he he he ;) I certainly have some frustration issues (can't take it out the normal way by eating crayons) :D :D!! lol Maybe I can find a used bag on craigslist for post-pregnancy beatdowns :D

LOL!! No need to pin pictures.... I'm a great visualizer!! ;) :D And as far as you and a heavy bag.... I pity your husband if you do or don't get one!! :D :D I love it... it really is a great workout!
 
Heya DZ !!!

I have been away for a month (along with Shandy and Amanda, I gather) but I am back with renewed motivation. Good to see you never stopped kicking ass!!!! (as if I thought you would ;) )

A new Year and a new 140 days for me, this time with 100% from day ONE!

Sunday (NIGHT)

Well, kiddos were WIPED OUT!!! They just laid around and rested! My 3 3/4 year old fell asleep on the couch at 645pm... didn't wake up, even when I put his jammies on him... poor little tired guy...BUT, very nice, because by 745, the kids where in bed and sleeping!! I was going to go to bed early too, but thought... WTF!!!! Let's get in another workout, so I did! 35 minutes on the heavy bag, man that thing is addicting!!! For some reason, I had a lot of frustrations to release... worked like a charm!! I might start to like these two-A-Days.... well, probably not, wouldn't want to overtrain!!! :D :D A very good day, official weigh in TOMORROW... wish me luck!!! :)
 
Yay! Good luck!! My poor little guy was not ready to go to bed tonight lol. Our schedules turn "college" during breaks but he has school tomorrow so off to bed for both of us!! :D
Found some bags on craigslist for as low at $20! lol Pity my husband for having to put the thing up for me:D Night!
 
Just a quick post... I'll get more detailed and respond to others later... super busy, but wanted to share my weigh in.

My last weigh in was 12/08/08.....
Todays weigh in... -3.8 pounds!! That brings my total to 39.8 pounds lost!! I wish it would have said -4.... to bring me to an even 40 lost to date!!! Oh, well, December was tough, with being sick for pretty much two weeks, then the holidays the other two!!! On to 2009 WITH A VENGENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
JZ, December was a tough month and you still pulled out a loss. Nice job! You are right, 2009 with a vengence! :smash:

Turn "College"... LOL!! I hear that!! So much for routine bed times! :D
$20.00 for a heavy bag... great deal! Hours of enjoyment or if you wish... THERAPY!!! *twitch, twitch, twitch... spurts out four letter word and stomachs a crayon*
