Dreaded post

This is a post I have dreaded to write! This week has been the worst yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel horrible, my eating has been horrible, my water intake has been horrible and my exercise has been horrible. Its been a tough week and I feel so bad about it. But tomorrow is a new day and a new week and I will do better!!!!

New Adventures!

Where to begin on this week!!!!Monday morning bright and early I started cleaning the gym I am doing bootcamp at. I spent the majority of my morning before work doing that and let me tell you that is a huge workout!!! Tuesday morning I walked with my good friend Claudia around the park and then began bootcamp that evening! I weighed in and had lost more weight!!! I was excited about being able to mark that weight off the list!!! Eating and getting my water in this week has been so much easier than last week!!! I am getting into a routine on my exercise. Except Monday gotta figure that day out. But I will get it figured out!!! So my schedule is Monday: clean gym Tuesday: Walk in the morning and bootcamp in the evening. Wednesday: clean gym Thursday: Walk in the morning, bootcamp and clean gym after that. Friday: Walk in the morning. So I need to work on a couple of days. But I have faith I will figure it all out.
I have dabbled with the bootcamp idea for awhile and I told Stuart that I would start when school started. I signed up on the first day of school!! I am so glad I took the plunge!!! I have been in two classes and man is it hard work but I will get it and it will soon pay off. I love the encouragement of the girls in the class as well!!!
Last Sunday while visiting a church in town a sweet lady stood and was talking about a Temple Challenge that she was starting at the church. And I was thinking wow what a good idea. My husband signed me up so I will be doing that on Monday evenings!!!
Grocery shopping!!! I really watched everything that went into my cart this week while shopping. I made sure to read most of the nutrition labels. I made sure to throw a lot of fresh fruits and veggies in my cart!!! Grocery shopping took a while longer but that is ok with me for sure!!!! I feel so much better now that I eat healthy and I am trying new things as well!!!
I am so excited about my walk today. I love being out in nature and enjoying it. Today Shane and I were going to walk at first we were just going to walk around Baker Park and Shane said lets walk all around Memorial Park at first I was ok with that and then we were getting ready to pull in and I was like hey lets walk the Wilbur Wright Trail. I am soo glad we did what a great trail that is and it is beautiful!!!! I would recommend it to anyone.
Around here the Mooreland Fair is a big thing and tonight we went out there. I have always gotten a elephant ear since I can remember. I did so tonight and enjoyed my little splurge!!! I will be back to working out tomorrow.
Last but not least I signed up for a 5K that I will walk!!!! I am so excited to do it and need as much encouragement I can get. I would love to have people walk with me that day!!! August 30th is that day!!!
I just want to thank everyone that is encouraging through this journey. I am so thankful for all that have supported me!!! I am also thankful for the people that have came up to me and said I see a difference and you are looking good!!! It really helps me stay on track!!!!

Walking, Walking, and more walking!!!

Today I met with my friend Claudia to walk around that park. It is a mile around our park which is awesome!!!! Looking back to when I really started this journey almost 4 weeks ago I could barely get in a half mile before my legs, lungs, and back were screaming at me in pain....... Today it was like a light bulb went off or I was paying attention to my body but I made it around one time and I was like I feel good lets go for another. I walked two miles today and that is a huge accomplishment for this girl!!!! I am going to push myself to walk as much as possible. One of my goals is to walk a 5K!!!! Hopefully I will accomplish that goal before winter!!

Another Week in the Books!

I really thought this past week would be better............. Boy was I wrong.................. I had struggles upon struggles........ I had been drinking 80 ounces of water daily before this week. Yep that has been a huge struggle this week. Everything has been a struggle from making sure I get my exercise to eating right. Tuesday and Wednesday I had some dental work done. I went in for a routine cleaning and come to find out I had to have all of my previous fillings redone. I have a small mouth (I know right you think I am lying). So any work in my mouth is horrible........ Tuesday and Wednesday I didn't get any work out in and food was the farthest from my thoughts. Thursday was the first day of school and Shane and I were able to walk after we took the kids to school and that evening I signed up for a women's only boot camp which I start on Tuesday (pray for me)!!! I also weighed and lost another 4 pounds!!!! Down 11 pounds now!!!Friday we were able to walk twice!!!!! I love it!!! Saturday was a busy, busy did I say busy day!!!! I started my day off with my walk then went straight to help my OF Tommie at Miracle League working the concession stand... Do you know how hard it was to work in there?!? Then I WALKED from there to meet Shane at a block party. I would have never walked there before but I didn't think twice. Then to end the day we went to a family reunion and I didn't eat a thing!!!! Life is changing once again this coming week but I will embrace it!!!!
This week I am making small goals for myself!!!!
I will drink my water all of it daily!
I will log everything I eat and my exercise!
I will eat a snack or meal every 2-3 hours!
Ok last but not least this week I let Shane take pictures of me and post them on facebook!
