Starting Over

Thanks my 2 Kimmies and Angel for stopping by! It looks like our team will be 2 MILFs & an Aussie Battler. Great idea BB.

We are in the midst of a winter storm here so I am off work today.:hurray: I may not get to the gym today due to the weather. If the roads are okay then I will go later, we will see. Sean will be going in to work at 10am so I am home with the baby all day. I play to get down and dirty with some vacuuming, mopping, scrubbing and dusting. Oh yeah! I'm sitting here watching it snow in my back yard and my deck and landscaping really need some cleaning from all this winter gunk. I may get that done on Sunday since the weather will be pretty and warm.

I've had 1550 calories/day this past week (none over) but had a little granola on my yogurt last night so it drove yesterday's calories up to 1900. Today will be another low day as usual. I am keeping them low with occasional higher days (like yesterday). I am just waiting to see if this new drug is gonna get my metabolism off its ass. I've gotten 2.5 hours of exercise this week so far and plan to get 2-3 more by tomorrow. I may dust off my TurboJam for a little at home workout today because of the weather.I plan to get a 5-mile run in tomorrow morning. I am going to start running races again soon. I've been putting it off for awhile for no real reason but really want to get back into it. I used to run a 5 or 10k every weekend before getting pregnant but have been too self conscious to get out there and run with all this extra weight. Now I wanna go show those skinny bitches that heavier girls can run as well. :boxing:

Off to clean my house!!!

Wow Arkansas and Georgia are getting snow, but Michigan isn't. I love it!! :party:

Yes, we can run. There are two HUGE hills I run near my house and last summer I'd run up them twice almost every day. One day I was running with Bella in her jogging stroller and a man that's always working in his front yard yelled out "Damn! You are one tough cookie, that hill's a bitch!" What a major boost to my ego! I'm a distance runner, I have NO SPEED.

I don't have issues with my boobs while running. I still where bras from the little girls' department. I wear a "36 Almost A", I swear it says that on the tag. It's made by "Maidenform". I'm surprised I was able to find bras without the days of the week printed on them!

How's the cabbage coming? I haven't eaten any yet but plan to make a big pot of soup tonight to eat on for the rest of the week.

We had one day of snow but then it was gone. I hate snow so I'm glad it didn't last. It's gonna be in the 60's today. I think that's it for us and the cold weather, things should start warming up from now on. Yay!!!!

I'm liking the team name. I think the three of us are gonna kick ass in this challenge.

So far my week is sucking ass. Yesterday was a typical monday. I was exhausted from the time change, had to get formal and casual pictures taken for the firm's website, and was swamped with work. This morning my H thought it was SUNDAY and let me sleep in and I was 45 minutes late for work. Grrr! Oh well, I don't have much to do here at the office so I'll probably be finding busy work to do.

I did 30 minutes of pilates last night followed by 15 minutes of yoga. I injured my knee and hip on sunday while shopping so I had to keep it light and beneficial to my injured parts. Tonight I will be at the gym for an hour and a half. I will have all my points in by friday so me team need not worry.

My calorie intake is all good. I am fluctuating from low to higher days. I'll go a few days without going over 1550 and then take a day or two at 1700-1800. My dietician suggested this to help get my metabolism running and to keep it from slowing down from consistent low cals. After a week or two I will have 2-3 days of maintenance calories. I'm hoping this helps!!
 
Morning Amy!!
You will do just fine this next weigh in I know it!! A size A bra huh?? Why did I think you were larger?? LOL LOL lucky you is all I have to say, it sucks carrying around the extra sometimes and eventually they head south anyways, so who really cares about em'. LOL LOL I had a hard work out last night and plan another one tonight. I'm actually making the cabbage tonight and bringing some to work with me tomorrow, mmmmm I love steamed cabbage. I am so ready and pumped to squash this challenge you have no idea!! I felt like I let everyone down last time and I'm not going to let that happen again. I'm actually looking forward to this weigh in and I tell you what if I don't see results I'm going to PASS OUT! because I'm seeing it in my clothes again! I want to wear a bikini this summer damn it, and I WILL! wow if I get there, or when I get there you all know I'll be posting those pics for sure!! Now that would be awesome!!
Have a great ass kicking day sweetness!

Way to go with the workout, but then again you always kick major ass. I too felt like I let everyone down with the last challenge, these damn lbs just wouldn't budge. I am gonna rock this challenge this time. This frickin' weight is gonna come off. I too want to wear a bikini this summer.

I think you are definitely gonna see results this week. I can feel it!! What would be an awesome incentive for you, Claudia and I to break through these plateaus? Maybe a get-together? I can meet you ladies pretty much anywhere in the states. I think we all should plan a little event together. Somewhere central to all of our locations.


Starting tomorrow I will be bringing my gym clothes to work and will be running during my lunch break at the Big Dam Bridge (bigdambridge.com) that is down the street. My office is right on the Arkansas River so the running/cycling trails go right through our parking lot and the view is absolutely beautiful. The weather is warming up so it will be a nice run. I still plan to go to the gym in the evenings as well.
 
Oh yeah, I'm ALWAYS up for a get together. Hmmm somewhere in the middle, she's way up Northeast, so we really have to think about that one. Maybe we can all meet at her condo in FL. LOL LOL I think this summer I should just take a drive to your place for the weekend, I can stay at some B&B somewhere, you know me and my B&B's LOL LOL. Hmmm, i'll have to check out are timeshare and see what's nearby,then I don't have to pay a dime to stay there, that's the fun of going out of town in my opinion.

Well girl, your going to see results this week, with all that running how could you not! Watch me only down .5 pound after all this good eating and working out, LOL LOL nothing will shock me weight wise, trust me, I've had such a weird experience with the scales it's not funny. And what pisses me off is my hubby told me last night that he's down to like 150 pounds, okay so I'm a fat ass compared to my H, boy does that make me feel better. LOL LOL I tease him about it all the time, since his body is nothing but flat out muscle, something is just not fair! Okay, I'm done pouting, I hope you have an awesome day today!!!

GO GIRLFRIEND GO!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE B & B's!! I'm up for any location. I used to spend a lot of time in Miami with my ex boyfriend, I really miss the city (not the bf).

You'll see a bigger loss than .5lb. I am shooting for 1-2lbs **fingers crossed**. My H also weighs 150lbs, damn him. You're right, it's not fair! He eats whatever the hell he wants and loses! I swear his whole ass is the size of my thigh.

Is the weather as awesome there as it is here? It is 65 degrees and beautiful! I think I'll go running around the lake by my house this evening instead of going to the gym. I'll do weights when I get home. It's way too pretty to stay inside. I may talk Sean into grilling dinner so we can hang out on the deck and let Bella play in the yard. Sounds heavenly!

No more pouting for either one of us. You and I are gonna get this damn weight off!!!!
 
Oh your so funny! I think our husbands sound exactly alike, my H's butt is so fricken cute, but your right, my thigh might be bigger too. LOL LOL :svengo:

Did you get your run outside?? It's been gorgeous here today too. I did go to the gym and OH MY WORD the Kick N Abs class is so hard and works me out to the MAXIMUS! You know if I don't see results by this weekend, I'm going to run till I drop, swear!

You know my chin is about GONE! no more double whopper there, thank gosh!! I always hated that friggen thing, and my H would always pinch it you know trying to be cute, but ummmm it's not cute. LOL LOL well, at least there isn't to pinch now, so HALLELUJAH! now he just grabs my butt, or lately he has this fascination with my belly button. LOL LMAO!!!! what's up with this freaky lover of mine. LOL LOL I don't know but I'll give him a few days to stop. LOL LOL It's all fun. So what was for dinner tonight?

Hahaha! Yes, I love my H's cute little butt too.

Way to go on your workout last night!! I did not get my run in because Sean had to work late so I opened the back door and let Bella play in the backyard while I cooked dinner and cleaned a bit. I then had to bathe her and get her ready for bed. As soon as Sean got home around 8:30 I threw on my gym clothes and ran to the gym for a kick ass hour and a half workout. BooYeah!! My calories were 1580 so it was a very good day!

I have a square jawline so I've never had a double chin but I did have love handles after the pregnancy that are now gone. Woot!! Sean used to pinch them as well, now he just goes for the ass or boobs. Lol!
 
Sean and I are going out on saturday night for St. Patty's Day. We will be meeting friends for dinner then we will all head to Cregeen's Irish Pub for the festivities. I am trying to find a bitchin' St. Patty's tee to wear that night since it will be a jeans, t-shirt and beer drinking type of occasion.

Any ideas? I'm thinking of this green vintage one I found that says "I'm Not Irish, Kiss Me Anyways". Lol!!
 
Oh yeah!! I love that saying, Perfect!! So tell me Amy, what are you favorite type of jeans??? Do you have junk in the trunk?? I'm trying to find a good fitting jean, and to date the only ones I find that fit me well are Old Navy Weekenders, because I have really long legs and short waist, and well just a small little booty, that is still a work in progress, at least its not a pancake ass. LOL LOL I tell you what my thighs are killing me today, I'm sure if I squat down to pick anything up, I might be screaming, HELP!!!!!!!!!!! I can't get up. LOL LOL That's what happens when old ladies take a kickboxing class. LOL LOL what the hell, if I'm still standing after the class, then I'm still going. HAHAHAHAHA Maybe I can talk my babes into doing something for St. Patty's also, what day is that again??? I'm so NOT with the program these days.
Good for you working it out last night at the gym, AND being a great mommy for your little sweetie!

I like Apple Bottom jeans, Levi's 515 Nouveau, and GAP. I have a Juicy Booty so I generally go for lower rise (not super low), boot cut jeans. I can't pull off the skinny jeans because I have muscular thighs, it makes them seem bigger. When I was thin I was told I had a J-Lo booty and now it's even bigger!!

I'm not sure which type of jean would be best for your shape. Maybe something that accentuates your ass to make it seem fuller? I know Apple Bottoms do that.

Way to go on the soreness! That proves that you really kicked ass during your workout. I too am sore in my upper body (arms, chest, back, shoulders), I worked them pretty hard last night. My legs never get sore anymore, I guess they have gotten used to the running, squats and ArcTrainer. I may run the hills by my house over and over again this weekend to work them harder, maybe get some soreness out of it.

Patty's Day is the 17th but most pubs will be celebrating this saturday. We always do something with our friends on this day, it gives us an excuse to drink! All of us ladies are pilots' wives so our H's tend to get together and talk about airplanes so we try to grab a table and do our own thing, which is usually Bloody Mary's, Martinis, and beer. We always get a couple of people to volunteer to DD when we do this. All of us ladies had babies within 3 months of each other so we don't get out much, maybe once every 6-8 weeks. This is why I'm really looking forward to it, we always have a great time together.
 
Oh that does sound like fun!! as long as you like all the wives, then why not!

Where do you find Apple Bottom jeans?? I've heard of them, but what stores carry the brand?? I'll go try some on this Friday evening.

Oh yeah, the wives are great. Actually the 8 of us do everything together and have for years.

You can get AB jeans at Dillards and online at applebottoms.com. I like to hit the sales at the end of the month at Dillards.

You and Kim so did not let our team down that last challenge, so don't even say that. :)

I'm glad you're having great weather. Even ours has warmed up to 40F Oh yeah--heat wave baby!! :rofl:

YOu're kicking as at the gym as usual--no surprise there. I just hope Scalena rewards you for all your efforts. That bitch better start playing nice. :reddevil:

I wanna get in on this meeting up thing! If H and I ever get a house and fix it up, y'all are more than welcome to come up here this summer or fall. It would be so much fun. :hurray:

Damn.... add me to that "I Got a Skinny Bitch Husband Group," mami. hahaaa! Same thing on this end... Sean can gorge on a half gallon of ice cream and not gain a pound. I just run my finger along the damn lid and WHAMO.. 5 lbs go directly to my ass. I am sooo getting jipped here, I think. ;) I've been missing you, girl. Also... I need to start getting tips from you when it comes to running, because you're a damn machine and I honestly don't know how you do it. Hope hubby and the beauitful baby are doing well, doll.
