So I had an okay week, could have been better, but definitely could of been worse.  I am trying to drop 13 lbs in the next 6 weeks for my daughters Pre-K graduation.  Thats my mini goal.  So I need all my Rockstar teammates & my buddies to stay on me

• Walk/Run 3 Miles x 4 Days
• Workout DVD x 3 Days
• More Water/Less Diet Pepsi
• Do My Rockstar Challenges Daily

So my official weigh in day is on Sunday, but I weighed today anyways and am happy to announce that I am down 3 more lbs!!  So that is a total of 7lbs lost in 10 days.  Seems like a little too much, but I am sure it will not be like this every week (not that I don’t want it to be)  I ran into one of my clients today and she commented that I had lost :)  Isn’t that such a good feeling?  Definitely keeps me motivated!

 I am still trying to get situated with a workout schedule.  Last week I did really well, but I didn’t have any early morning appointments, (I own a pet sitting/dog walking company) so it was fairly easy.  But for the next 2 weeks I have a 7:15 am appointment, so I will have to adjust a little.  My workout really consists of running/walking with my german shepherd puppy Layla.  We usually do 3 miles in the morning, and then walk 2 miles after dinner.  I have also started doing a Jillian Micheals video that I found ON DEMAND.  I am aiming for 3x a week for that.  I also need to start riding my bike again.  My oldest daughter and I went for a very short ride on Sunday and my butt is still hurting from the seat!  I will have to get used to it though because biking has always helped me lose in the past, plus its sooo much fun!

Did excellent on my workouts and eating today!  Layla and I did our 3 miles this am and another 2 after dinner.   That plus all the other dogs that I walked in between made for a pretty good day.  I hadn’t worked out since Friday, so I am a little surprised I have lost. I am still trying to eat between 1400-1500 calories a day but lately I have been falling at about 1300.  I am trying not to go too low because I am very active during the day and know that my body needs the fuel. 

My youngest daughter is graduating from Pre-K on June 5th, so I have set a goal to lose 13 more lbs by then.  That is about 7 weeks away, so I am aiming for 2lbs per week.  I know that is doable, I just need to be consistant.

Hope all you fellow slimmers are doing well!  And thank you everyone for the wonderful boosters, they really make my day

Well I haven’t logged on in a while and I am now officially at my highest weight ever!  I started eating healthier and working out last Sunday and am down 4lbs already, so I am on the right track. 

It always seems like I do well the 1st week or two and then I quit. When I told my fiance last week that I was starting back on my “diet,” he rolled his eyes and said “I just wish you would stick with something.”  Now, don’t misinterpret that!  He has been so super supportive through all my weight struggles.  Everytime I say I want to try the latest miracle diet pill or cream or whatever, he has been the one to whip out the credit card.  I now have 5 bottles of diet pills in my cabinet that I spent money on and have never finished.  So I know he is right.  It seems like every other week I want to try something new and I can see why he is getting frusterated with me.  I’m gonna show him this time…

I did reach one of my 2008 resolutions though!  I walked/ran my very 1st 5k last month!  It was amazing, and now I’m totally addicted!  My ultimate goal is to run a whole marathon next February!  I have started walking/running 3 miles every morning M-F with the dog, and then doing a 2 mile walk with the dog after dinner.  I am starting a marathon training program in August to prepare me for the biggie in February.  I’m very excited

 Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
