Update

Hey!  I haven't written in a while so I thought I'd catch you all  up on my progress.  I have gained 5 lbs.  Yuck!  We've had a very rough couple of months and we have done a lot of eating out.  Needless to say, I'm SICK of fast food.    Over the last week Skyler and I have been very diligent in taking the kids out for a walk every morning.  While we are getting out and we do walk a mile, it isn't much exercise because the kids are on bikes and scooters and usually one of us is pushing the stroller while the other is helping Teagan.  We have been rearranging our living room so I can start doing Zumba when I have time to exercise.

Korina did invite me to go to the park, but I didn't make it.  Riley got me up at 4:30 and again at 6:30, thank goodness I was home because he was VERY hungry.  I could tell at 6 he was going to get up soon, which is why I didn't leave.

Skyler is being very supportive in my effort to lose weight.  He needs to also and is completely motivated which helps a lot.  I have had a hard time getting out to exercise because Riley has been really demanding lately, but I have found alternatives here at home that are helping.  Now that there is no soda in the house and no fast food, just healthy fruits and veggies with a side of cookies occasionally I think I'll be able to get on track.  The cookies are always saved for Saturday. =)  With 4 kids eating them I don't get much anyway.

My goal is to be down 10 lbs by the end of July and I am on my way.  I haven't weighed myself but I already see a change in my belly so I consider that a good sign.

Sleep!

I really miss my sleep! But this week even with family in town and not getting to bed till after midnight every night and waking up to feed a baby. Still have stuck to my goal! Not going to lie I am exhausted!! Also if it was not for Sarah I probably would have slept in this morning. I was so tired!! I want to put how far we went, but since Sarah is the prego one I feel that she needs to brag. Next week I will had another challenge to my list!

Getting back into the groove

I thought once I had the baby I would jump right back into it. I knew it would be hard and I would not be back over night, but I thought the motivation would be there. And it has not!!

I want to be back where I was, but really do not want to do the work!! I decided baby steps!!

This week I have set a goal to get out of bed and workout 3 times a week. Which I really must say is hard, Dallin is only a month so he is not sleeping through the night and when he wakes up he is up for a few hours. I thought about this and even before I had Dallin waking up to workout was hard. But worth it, plus living in Vegas you have to get out early to beat the sun. But Gary has to be at work. So I had that excuse. But it's summer!!! Which means no more excuses! I have gotten up at 5am(hit the alarm clock a few times!) , pumped, and headed out! So far so good!! If anyone wants to join me text me and I will tell you when and where!! The first day I was on my own it went well walked a few laps and felt pretty good. Day 2 met up with Monica and Tamra we did station and walked(I walked they ran), I tried running I could feel it in my stomach. In two weeks I get released and will not stress has much. But since I can not do abdominal exercises at all the station I did legs, OH MAN did my legs hurt that day and the next!! It helps to go with people, I know they are waiting for me. Again if anyone wants to join us let me know!! Like I always say so worth it. Sleep is nice, but I am just has tired has I was before but I feel good.

Every week I am going to a set a new goal, until I get back where I was. I can't do it all at once but I will get there!! I will be honest next week I am going to workout, but my Mom will be in town and so I am not setting a new goal. My next goal is not eating after 7pm and I know with family in town there is no way I am doing that!! So the following week I will add that.

After this week I am getting nervous about 13.1 miles!!

Getting there

Lost a few more pounds this week. Getting to my first goal. My goal for this up coming week is to workout every day. I did not realize that you could instantly download workout videos from Netflicks. Thank you Sarah! So I found some video, so between that the exercise bike and the WII fit I am hoping to get a workout everyday this week! It is hard to get a good workout outside. Aiden is home now and the double stroller only holds two kids. Aiden complains the whole time, so until Gary is off from his day job I will be working inside. Then this summer I can get my butt out early. Its going to be hard with Dallin waking up through out the night, but I did it once can do it again!

Time to start downloading!
