Here we go!!!!

Still here!

I am still here!  I am still weighing in each Thursday and doing my best to watch what I eat.  I haven't gotten in a real workout though and I hate that!  I haven't had time or made time.  I had planned on doing the mini BBM Challenge but haven't.  I am looking forward to starting 2.0 on May 5.

This was my weigh in this morning.  Not too bad!!!

BBM Challenge complete!

I did not complete the last week because we went to Seattle.  My ending weight was 222 lbs, which was a 3.6 lb loss.  And as of my 60 day check in I lost 11 inches!

I really liked the challenge and was extremely proud of myself for sticking to it for so long!  There were probably only about 4 of us that stuck out the challenge in my accountability group but that's ok.  I am looking forward to the next challenge BBM Challenge 2.0!

(Late) Weekly Weigh In

We were in Seattle on Thur morning and I forgot yesterday so I weighed in today.  I weighed 222 lb, up just a bit which I'll take since shark week started.  Jim's headed out of town next week for work so I'm hoping to get back on track. 

Weekly Weigh In

Weighed in today at 221.6 lbs on my home scale.  This will be my starting weight from here on out. 

I have made the decision to not continue going to WW.  With all the changes in our house right now I could really save the money for something else.  Plus I wasn't going to the meetings and using the tools like I should've been so why pay someone $45/mo to step on their scale? 

I can do it at home, I've done it before.  Lyndsey and I have promised to hold each other accountable.  I ask that you please do that too!  I'm contemplating doing it like I did 4+ years ago.  Each time I would weigh in I'd pay $2 and then once I met a goal I got the money.  Then maybe if I gain I could add a $1?!

So here we go!  Wish me luck!!

Nice walk!

The sun was out again today and I needed to go to the bank.  Good thing it was a cardio day!  I decided to walk down to the bank.

Ryan was loaded in the stroller and off we went.  He did a great job on our way there.  I did a walk and jog combo and was comfortable with my pace.  Most of the way there was downhill which probably helped.

We went to the bank, walked to the post office and then stopped at a new place for lunch.  I tried to make the best decision and went with a wrap and half order of fries which I was supposed to share with Ryan but he hasn't been into fries lately.  Sure wish I had that self control!!!

We then loaded back up and headed home...uphill!  It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.  it was definitely a slower pace than the way there but we also had a lot of stopping and going.  Ryan got restless and wanted out.  He then had a full on melt down about a half mile from the house.  He wanted out to run but we were along a very busy street and Mommy said no.

We made it back and it felt good!  By the end of the day I had over 15k steps.  I see myself walking more places this Spring/Summer/Fall!

Luck O' the Zumba: The Sequel

Ryan approved of the green hairspray

There was a prize for best dressed so I made my shirt and skirt for the event.  I also made my mom's tutu.

I haven't done Zumba in a LONG time so I was a little nervous.  The two hours went by quick and the only problem I had was with my stupid skirt creeping up.  Otherwise, it was a good time!!

After the event we went to a local pub to have some grub and green beers.
