So this week ends my one month work out of Hip Hop Abs. While I stuck to the exercise program, my food was not on point. So... the end weightloss result is not what it could be. However I do feel like I toned up some regardless.
My goal was 11.6, the reality was 4 lb. Not great but not horrible either. I wanted to lose that weight before my trip... but 4 lb will have to do.
Don't get me wrong, 4 lbs in 5 weeks is good... very healthy. BUT I know I could have done the 11.6 lbs. I just needed to get my food in check.
I'm not going to worry about food on my cruise, going to eat what I want to and when I want to. I may regret that later, but I'll deal with it. This trip is what I call a trip of a lifetime, when I met and married my husband he told me that he has no interest in going on a cruise. However, that's one thing I've always wanted to do. We don't take a lot of vacations, usually because they are just too darned expensive. So I was a little worried that he'd be upset with me for going. But he's not. Which is great and makes me feel that much better about going. I'm sure he'll have some big hunting trip he'll want to take without me too.
Anyway - My non-food plan for the cruise is to get my 10,000 steps in each day, use the exercise room at least 4 times and get my swim and tanning on. These should all be do-able goals.
When I get back, I need to get right back on track. I'll be starting a new exercise program then too. So this was a good time to end one and ready for the next one to begin. I think I'll do my old "The Firm" videos. They are a good mix of weights and cardio.
I can't wait until I'm Healthfully Ever After!

My Plan through February 10th
As always, I struggle AFTER the holidays. I've done so well through the holidays (with weight management/loss) and then I let go a little afterwards. I simply cannot do this again. Although I am and my post last week proved it. It was jumbled and not really focused well.
So I need to refocus and realize my goals! I do want to lose another 10 lbs BEFORE my cruise. I leave February 18th, so that means within the next 6 weigh-in's I need to lose almost 2 lbs a week. That didn't happen this week (was hoping to stay the same) so really I have 5 weeks at 2 lbs a week. Do I think I can do it? YES, absolutely. I just need to be more disciplined.
What is my plan you ask? Meal planning and working out.
Meal Planning:
I haven't spend my Sunday's prepping for the week and that's proving to be a negative for me. So, this Sunday I will make the meals that get us through Friday. I am continuing my Rockin' Body by Beachbody work out - which is not proving to be an issue for me. I am not having a problem being disciplined to fit those in.
Work Out:
I've also picked my next work out - which is going back to the 21 Day Fix Extreme by Beachbody. This plan will take me out to February 10th, the week before my cruise. This work out will likely not help me lose the weight that I want to but it's more for strength training so my food needs to be on-point while I'm on this. There will be a few days where I'm away at a scrapbooking retreat so I'll be off-track for 4 days but then will get RIGHT BACK ON. Normally I would tell myself that I'll be good during scrapbooking but I just end up letting myself down because it never works out. So I'm going into like I'll be cheating and not tracking but still working out -- I bring them with and can do them at the retreat with no problem.
Are you wondering what my results were this week? Well... I gained 1.6 lbs. So now I need to lose 11.6 lbs before vacation. I can do this.
What are your goals for the new year? I'm not asking for resolutions... I'm asking for your goals you've set. Please comment with your goals and how you plan to meet them - the reason I ask you to do this is your comments may help someone else reading this set their own goals. Or come up with a different goal or way to meet their goal.
My next post will likely not be until February 2nd... as it's too hard to commit to every week... but rest assured
I still can't wait until I'm Healthfully Ever After!

New Year Goal - Get Back On Track
Well it's been a month since my last update... I've been a very busy little girl.
Week ending 12/9:
I finished the 21 Day Fix Extreme videos like a boss! It felt great to complete yet another set of difficult videos. The end result after 3 weeks was 5lbs and so much strength. I totally could have lost more but I wasn't tracking well and was eating bad here and there (more there than there).
Week ending 12/16:
After finishing up those videos I started Jillian Michaels for a few days and wasn't really into it. So I decided to pull out videos that I've owned for 2 or 3 years but never really did them... Rockin Body - another Beach Body product. I started just before the kids came home for Christmas... so the first two days they were here I still did the work out.
Week ending 12/23
When the kids were here we decided that the first couple of days that they were here we wanted to go up north for a few days. So we headed to Duluth... IN THE WINTER. I started to panic because I really didn't have a plan for us other than mentioning going to Bentleyville to see the lights (they were awesome -- but not something you spend more than 2-3 hours at unless it's really busy) and maybe doing some hiking.
I've never hiked.
Not sure why I thought that's what we'd do. I don't have anything to wear including the appropriate footwear. Regardless we packed up all the winter gear we had and headed up to do some hiking. We went to Gooseberry Falls State Park and did some hiking. It was actually a great day to hike, it was 26 degrees... a little windy so sometimes chilly but overall perfect weather.
It was probably one of the best times we've had. The kids loved it as did my husband and I. We decided that every year the come home for Christmas (every other year as their mom lives elsewhere) that we'd take a couple of days and hike (try out some new places). They said that should definitely become our tradition! GREAT IDEA
The next day we hit the Jay Cooke State Park for some more hiking. OH MY GOSH it was a warm day with no wind (warm being 34 degrees). I was hot and sweaty. The trails were groomed but not used... so it was like walking on a beach because there was about a 2" dusting of snow the night before. Again, I loved it but it was soooooo hard! I wasn't going to be the one to say I was done... but was soooo happy to be done once the others decided they had enough.
After that we had a few days before Christmas where we went shopping and kept busy. I didn't take the time to track nor was I eating the best. I did say to myself "I sure hope I can get back on track after being so lax."
I weighed in that week and had gained .6 lbs -- couldn't believe it after all the hiking we did, but like I said I was eating what I wanted and also had some beer :) Plenty-o-beer!
Week ending 12/30:
Then Christmas came and went, I ate what I wanted. I wasn't exercising (I hadn't exercised since we hiked). I wasn't feeling healthy, strong or full of energy. I was sad that our daughter had to leave us as I hadn't had enought time with her, we were having such a good time. Then our son went to spend time with his friends for a few days and to celebrate New Years Eve with them (wouldn't expect anything different really). I was sad... but realized I can't be. This is life and they are not going to stay - for goodness sakes they are 22/25 years old now. They are adults.
On a positive note, I was so pumped from hiking that I went and bought myself some hiking boots and poles. Can't wait to get back out there... goal is to do that soon just not when it's below zero.
Jan 1 hits:
I feel like crap. I know I need to exercise. I hadn't really gained, but wasn't losing either... just not feeling good about myself. I knew I needed to get back on track - so I had to start back up on my Rockin Body routine as it's a 4 week program. I'm so glad I did. I'm still trying to get back into logging EVERYTHING but I'm trying.
By the time I weighed in this week I had lost what I had gained AND then some. I'm so glad I'm getting myself back on track. This was my goal. I'm making it happen!
Since september I've lost 33.4 lbs. My total weight loss since joining in March 2012 is 59 lbs.
I'm setting goals not resolutions for the New Year... first goal get back on track. Second goal - go hiking by the end of January. Third goal - finish Rockin Body. Fourth goal - set my next work out program before I finish Rockin Body. Fifth goal - set new goals.
I can't wait until I'm Healthfully Ever After.

One Week Left
I have one more week of 21 Day Fix Extreme work outs. They are great work outs, very challenging and even though I'm not able to do everything... I am able to enough to feel like I've gotten a good work out. Again, some of my moves have to be modified more than their modified work out. That's the thing I like about this series... it does have a person that's doing the modified version. I ended up ordering the video's because I'm borrowing them from a neighbor and I liked them so much that I wanted my own. $55 I feel is worth it if I use them enough... which I will, it'll be put in my rotation.
So what's next? I'm not sure. My thoughts are I either do my "The Firm" video program - which is 30 days, each work out is between 52 and 63 minutes. Those are long work outs, but there's two days of rest within a week. Which I like. OR I do my Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred... which means no rest days (work outs without rest days are HARD). This is about a 37 minute work out each day.
I have other options as well... My gym membership kicked back in this month (I haven't been there yet - boo!) so I could work in either a class, biking, treadmill or weights into my routine on top of these.
Now to the nitty gritty. This past week was not my best. Not even close. I ate a lot of sweets and some other not so good food for me. The good news is that I continued to do my work outs, tracked all my food (even if it wasn't pretty) and tried to compensate for those naughty times by eating better at my next meal. I did end up losing 2.2 lbs this week. Now that doesn't mean that the weight won't show up later (because it sure can); I was just happy that it didn't come up on the scale today.
Coming up this weekend I have some fun plans... and you know what fun means: hard food choices. I have a friend and her girls coming to stay over Saturday night and then I'm hosting our annual girls Christmas party on Sunday. This is an extremely fun event but it very much centered around food - the last few years the theme has been appetizers. So typically those are not healthy choices. I'm going to have to work very hard at not over eating. The good part about the party is that it starts at 11 - which means that if I do end up eating like crap, I have a good part of the evening to make up for it. I know that's what I'll do (I just know me).
Anyway - I'm just going to try and focus on being good all of the other days of the week. That way - two days of festivities shouldn't really affect me if I keep up my work outs and eat right the rest of the time. It's the 80/20 rule right???
Oh... another progress report I can give is since I started working out again at home (second week in September) I've now lost 29.6 lbs. It's about 3 months time. So remember that - hard work and good choices really does pay off... and I feel amazing. I even want to fix myself up again -- wear make-up, do my hair and dress nice-ish (don't get me wrong, this girl loves her sweatshirts and yoga pants).
Well here's to another successful week under my belt.

I made it through Thanksgiving!!!
Well, we've made it through two holidays so far. Halloween and Thanksgiving are under our belts!
I've also made it through a trip to New York City - where we walked anywhere from 8-10+ miles per day. It was a fantastic trip! Although the trip wasn't booked before I started Insanity, I viewed it as being my reward for getting myself back on track and sticking Insanity out until the end. I'm still very very proud of that accomplishment.
So far, I have two special Christmas celebrations prior to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, two of which I'm hosting. Then factor in getting together with girlfriends for dinner around this time as well... Still many more challenges to face, but if I keep up what I've been doing I really shouldn't see any issues.
So you know I finished Insanity (I've mentioned that about a billion times now) and are possibly wondering what I've done since that ended on the 11th? Well, let me tell you...
Between finsihing Insanity (did I mention I finished Insanity??) and going to NYC, I had about 5 days between them. I didn't want to start a new program but I also knew that I needed to continue working out. So I took a day or two off (it's blurry to me) and then took out my Jillian Michael 30 Day Shred videos out and did level 2 for 3-4 days (still blurry).
When I got back from NYC I started my next work out video session the very next day. 21 Day Fix Extreme. It's a 21 day in-a-row work out video set where there's a different work out each day. They are not easy, but not as hard as Insanity (did I mention I finished Insanity???). I'm 10 days in, almost half way. I haven't missed any work outs in those 10 days (well I missed one, but made it up by working out twice one day later). I've not seen as much weight loss with this program as I did with Insanity BUT I've also not tracked like I did while doing Insanity. Mostly because I went to NYC for 5 days and then came back to Thanksgiving, Black Friday shopping, decorating, etc. So I haven't had the time to plan as well as I did previously. I still made meals and tracked most of the week days but the weekends have been more lax.
So Last time I wrote I had given Insanity results of 25 lbs. At this present time (I weighed in today after two weeks of being away from WW meetings) and I'm down another 2.6. So 27.6 since the second week in September. My total weight loss (from when I last started WW) is 53 lbs (that update is for the man I'm in competition with -- yes Jen told me Bob -- LOL). I had a rough 2 1/2 years before I kicked it back in gear as my total was once 96 lbs.
I can't beat myself up about the weight I've gained back because I never gave up, I continued to go to WW meetings most every week, I would lose and gain and lose and gain (mostly gain obviously)... but I never gave up. Sure, I was really unhappy with myself for letting go a bit... but I'm back on that wagon. I can't give up. I feel too good when I lose weight - not just my appearance but my body aches less, I have more energy and I'm really truly proud of myself when I can keep myself under control.
So, the lesson to learn is: NEVER. EVER. GIVE. UP.

Post-Insanity Results
Over the last 63 days (as of Friday 11/11) I was doing the Beach Body Insanity program. It's a very intense work out, typically for those that are in much better shape than I am. In the beginning it said not to do the work out program if you have a bad back or knees. I have both of those things, but decided I will see how it goes and modify as needed.
I needed to modify A LOT. Normally, I would have probably quit because it was way above my level. However, the results were as insane as the work out. After the first 4 days I had lost over 4 lbs. So I decided I'll stick to it... plus my husband was also doing it. I'm super competitive so if he wasn't going to quit there was no way in HELL that I would either.
I've posted a couple of times over the last 63 days about it so you knew that I was getting results if you read my last two blogs.
In 63 days I lost just over 25 pounds. Along with the work out, I was counting my points as well. I was not perfect, meaning on the weekends or long weekends I was off track, but I still tracked. So I knew how bad I was doing, but as soon as that weekend or vacation time was over I'd get right back on track.
So, I do think back and wonder how much better I would have done if I didn't go off track. But I can't change what I did,nor do I want to. I'm very happy with my results and I didn't deprive myself at all while I was doing it.
I'm amazed at how strong I feel... and some of the pain I'm in because of it :) But I'm ready to start my next program. I will be going to NYC with some girlfriends this week so I won't be able to work out like I was for 5 days... so in the time I have before I leave I will be filling in work outs with Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred. When I get back, I will begin the 21 Day Fix Extreme work out program (it's another Beach Body product). That's 21 days in a row of working out (I think, I need to look it up) and they also have a food program that they want you to follow... but I'll stick with Weight Watchers because I know how to work it and that it works for me when I work the program.
I'm on my way to being back on track... I have goals set through next November. I'm pretty determined... you probably know that if you've read my blog all alone. But I can get lost as I did for the last two years. For now, I feel like I'm in full control and it feels amazing. I don't see myself straying in the near future and that's what I'm focusing on right now. I know that goal setting works for me - so I'm continuing down that path.
Thanks for taking the time to read - I really do appreciate it. If you have tips to share or questions - feel free to ask and share.

I've posted a couple of times over the last 63 days about it so you knew that I was getting results if you read my last two blogs.
In 63 days I lost just over 25 pounds. Along with the work out, I was counting my points as well. I was not perfect, meaning on the weekends or long weekends I was off track, but I still tracked. So I knew how bad I was doing, but as soon as that weekend or vacation time was over I'd get right back on track.
So, I do think back and wonder how much better I would have done if I didn't go off track. But I can't change what I did,nor do I want to. I'm very happy with my results and I didn't deprive myself at all while I was doing it.
I'm amazed at how strong I feel... and some of the pain I'm in because of it :) But I'm ready to start my next program. I will be going to NYC with some girlfriends this week so I won't be able to work out like I was for 5 days... so in the time I have before I leave I will be filling in work outs with Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred. When I get back, I will begin the 21 Day Fix Extreme work out program (it's another Beach Body product). That's 21 days in a row of working out (I think, I need to look it up) and they also have a food program that they want you to follow... but I'll stick with Weight Watchers because I know how to work it and that it works for me when I work the program.
I'm on my way to being back on track... I have goals set through next November. I'm pretty determined... you probably know that if you've read my blog all alone. But I can get lost as I did for the last two years. For now, I feel like I'm in full control and it feels amazing. I don't see myself straying in the near future and that's what I'm focusing on right now. I know that goal setting works for me - so I'm continuing down that path.
Thanks for taking the time to read - I really do appreciate it. If you have tips to share or questions - feel free to ask and share.
I can't wait until I'm Healthfully Ever After!
