back at it!

-
I took a few pictures wearing some baggy pants that use to fit me.. I love these pants and if i was every on what not to wear they would make me throw them in the trash.. but I wear them rolled up four times and enjoy the comfort while I clean house or lift weights.. (please note I try not to wear them in public :) .. I am just amazed at how many inches (esp in my thighs!) I have lost over the last 18 months or so.. and to think two christmas's ago these were tight on me!!! ..wow.. feels good to make progress! :)
=====
well.. I am back at it today..
had a great workout.. shoulders, chest and tris.. .. then I danced and danced some more while cat laughed. :) it was fun.

eats today:
meal #1: 1 mini pinch of a muffin (DH bought for the kids).. then I ate oatmeal .. water
Meal #2: Salad with chicken tea
Meal #3: trail mix and water
Meal #4: half a serving of beef stew and water (this was right before my workout.. so I ate light)
Meal #5: full serving of stew with water
Meal #6: will be a shake.
(notice more water.. less tea? ... a good day.. progress)

I got a lot done today schooling, cleaning and laundry wise.. will start packing tomorrow:) during my meals today I watched a final episode of The Biggest Looser, I Want to Be a Highschool Cheerleader Again, and also a bit of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Camp Tryouts.. it was inspiring! (all DVRed and fast forwarded through parts) The best quote I heard was "she is one hamburger away from not fitting in those shorts!".. thought that was funny.. and I grew up thinking that people who were fit were just "born" that way or "had the right genes"... the longer I work out the more I realized .. if anyone is in shape it is cause they worked for it! Guess thats why the call it a :WORK out. ! huh. ... but its also "worked for" in the kitchen. ! "we are what we eat"
no other way to get around it :)



so..
a great start to my week!

Well stocked kitchen
Optimism
Respect for self
Keep on truckin
On to the goal
Unwilling to quit
Try try again!

PnP!

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

Bread.

on the way "home" from the grocery store with fruit and some gluten free bread products in my pack :) Oh how I have missed bread. You see I am someone who use to eat a whole loaf of garlic bread by myself on my "free day" when I did body for life. Yummy buttery bread. I have missed you. Since doing the gluten free thing I have avoided buying bread. Mainly because all I could find was 7 dollars a loaf! and that was a mini loaf :( . It just seemed too pricey. I would just not eat it. Its been almost 3 weeks since my last peice of ''real" bread. I have had moments (brief) of missing it. Lately, on our trip I have been missing it a lot. mostly cause we are doing sandwiches for lunch every day. Everyone else has bread and I have lettuce wraps.  In reality I cannot see living my whole life without bread. I have gluten free bread mix at home... but I didnt make it before we left on vacation. so today. We went for a walk I needed to get some fruit...

Happy to say I am not very saddle sore from the bike ride last night.. think this ole tush is getting use to riding again:) it was nice to get up this morning and get to workout.. I did three b's .. squats, leg extensions, dead lift, leg curls, bi curls and then I decided to throw in some abs cause I didnt do them last night.. :) I am feeling stronger and stronger and that feels nice. I am also getting leaner.. today I notice above my knee caps was CUT!.. I am not going to complain here.. because getting rid of fat is getting rid of fat.. but why.. I ask you .. does it come off my knee caps, and my shoulders instead of my baby belly or my bottom? .. its just not really that funny but I cant help but laugh.. what do to.. but to keep going.. and some day I will have the nice lean increadably cut knee knees I have always dreamed of. :) hehe.. Happy friday! taking the kids swimming today.. first time this summer. have to run and get suits for them.. they keep growing out of theirs! ho...
