Oh my glutes! I am definitely feeling the 1000 rep workout that I did the other night, and I am NOT complaining. I hated every minute of it; however, I am loving the pain...work muscles work.
Still no pop to report-10 days and counting!!! I have decided that next week, I get down and dirty with the food. I am going to try a program that one of my friend's swears by, and she has the results to show it so there must be some truth to it. Haven't seen her lately, but I hear she looks amazing! I am just not sure how far my will power will go on the food side... It's amazing how the mind can mess with you-mine thinks it's just one big funny game.
Well, until my workout tonight, I have nothing else to report.
Stay healthy!

January 8th, 2012
Just when you thought I wasn't coming back again...here I am. I am not quitting this time so expect to see many updates.
My biggest accomplishment this week is my one week anniversary of NO POP! Sounds minute right? It's not though-not for me. Luckily, until today, it hasn't really bothered me. But, today, today I wanted a Mountain Dew like a baby wants it's mamma's nipple. I, however, chose against the nipple and grabbed a bottle of water!!! I can't tell you how many times I circled our kitchen island. Luckily, I about got ran over by my daughter in roller skates-breaking my cycle of it wants me to drink it, it wants me to say no, it wants me to drink it, it wants me to say no...I curse you Mountain Dew for tasting so good. No worries, my husband thinks I'm nuts too!
As for the fitness part, after two straight days of working out, I was done-exhausted, not working out. I was wiped out and seriously prayed that I wasn't slipping into old habits. I watched the Biggest Loser for motivation, stayed connected to the health and fitness group that I am connected to and circled back. I LOVE working out, and I HATE that I have gotten away from it.
Tonight I tried this 1000 rep workout, and wow, kudos to those who did 1000 reps the first time out. I did not, however, I plan on doing it weekly or bi-weekly to build up to the 1000. It was a really great workout! I can't wait to do the entire thing!!!
So, my point, set goals (even if you have to baby step your way to your big goals, it all adds up), find support (I'm sure there are those who don't need it, but if you do-and I am one of the "do's," find it) and don't give up. No matter what size you are or where you are with health and fitness, it is hard to get going and keep with it; however, you can do it. If you are exhausted, go for a walk. You'd be surprised to find out how energizing it can be. And, don't worry, I'll take my own advice!

Well, I overcame the first workout (aside from the first run, the hardest part of working out)-P90X Kenpo topped with Just Dance 3 on the Wii with my daughter. I have also found a group of ladies with similar goals that I know will help keep me focused. Some friends at church have convinced me to register for the Air Force Marathon; however, the marathon concept does nothing for me so I have chosen to do the 10K the night before.
Aside from all of the great support and events to work towards, I found the ultimate motivation today! I took my dreaded (and I now know why they are ever so dreaded) "BEFORE" pictures. I hate how I have let myself go so I have big plans to print the pics and write my goals underneath so I can look at them daily!
I hear the voices of The Smurfs and the laughter of young ones permeating the walls which tells me that I must go join priority one....my family.

January 1, 2012...Thank goodness - a new year!
Ok, almost five months since my last post. Uuuuggghhhh. I have nothing to say today as I am pretty sure I have used most of my excuses now. It's just time to make a change. Stay tuned. I am really going to do this, and I am REALLY going to need the motivation.
Happy 2012! Good luck on wherever your journey takes you. I expect mine to be adventurous, challenging, accomplished and fulfilling...
