I still have not quite balanced out from last weigh in. I am still hoping to lose one pound!!!
Monday hit the park, then after Marlo, Monta and I went for a walk. I am not sure exactly where we went. But it ended up being 6.5miles. Then I also did a ab workout later that day and few exercise out the house.
Tuesday I SELP IN!!! IT was wonderful!! Aiden crawled into bed with me. And I was OH NO I hurried and grabbed my cell phone to see the time. Then remembered OH wait I get to sleep in!! Then I went to Zumba. That night I did the bike and some more abs.
Wednesday did not want to get up. I seriously thought about staying in bed. We did the workout, then Marlo and I walked a few laps. Not exactly sure how far, but hopefully the sun melted away some calories!!!
Hopefully today I can balance out by tomorrow morning weigh in just in time to loose one pound.

Odd, don't you think??

Confession
So, I went away this weekend for a much needed break. I wish I could say it was totally fun, but it was still work. It is always work when you've got 4 kids you're toting along with you. I did get away from this awful heat and that was fun.
I ate HORRIBLE this weekend!! Friday night we hit Burger King where I had a Whopper JR. meal with, what else, a coke. Saturday we had pancakes for breakfast, lunch at the Lion House. I actually did pretty good there. I got the sandwich and soup and did not eat the chips, but I had a coke there too. =) Dinner was awful! We went to the Golden Corral buffet...I think that's what it was called. Anyway, I had baby back ribs, pork spare ribs, mac n cheese, dinner rolls, taco salad, carrot cake, and apple cobbler!! Way too much for one person to eat but it was SO GOOD! Notice I did not waste my stomach space on veggies or anything good for that matter.
Breakfast Sunday consisted of McDonalds, which I know is breaking the Sabbath, but it was fast Sunday, we weren't going to church, we were headed to Spanish Fork for the day and I didn't want to ruin my sister's fast sunday by asking her if I could make some food. I know, excuses, excuses...but my McGriddle was good. =) For lunch we had mac n cheese, chicken nuggets and mozzerella sticks...mmmmm... then we bbq'd for dinner. Monday was no better. We had Orange Rolls with scrambled eggs for breakfast, McDonalds for lunch, and I honestly have not had dinner yet.
You're probably wondering why I am grossing you out, or tempting you, whichever it may be with my food intake over the weekend. It is to prove a point...not really to you, but to myself. I did not exercise this weekend, I ate enough for 4 people in one sitting at times, I come home and weigh myself, TOTALLY sure I gained at least 5 pounds.
MY RESULTS: 0 lbs gained
That's right ladies! I gained N-O-T-H-I-N-G!!
Is it just me, or is it odd that I can eat like that and gain nothing and I can spend a regular week eating right, and exercising and lose nothing??
I feel like my efforts equal exactly that NOTHING. I work my butt off with no results, when I can just eat like a pig and still have no results. There is just something wrong with that.
Don't worry, I'm not discouraged. I'm just frustrated. I need to find a good doc, get a physical and figure out what is wrong with me because this is just ridiculous. I am totally grateful that I did not gain anything, but it doesn't encourage me at all to exercise.
See you tomorrow at ZUMBA!! =)

Guilt
Last night I did not get to be till after 11pm. As I laid there contemplating waking up at 4:45am the next morning. I wanted to sleep in so bad. I was the only one in our group that was going to be able to go out. But I am just so tired. One day to sleep in would be so nice. Then my husband "just sleep in one day is not going to kill you. You are exhausted." (Don't think Gary does not support me, really this past week I have just been exhausted!) But then the GUILT sets but I have to work out. If I miss one day I will gain like 10lbs. I seriously had tears falling down my face. I just wanted to sleep in. Of course the alarm got set. Because I know if I don't do it at 5am in Vegas heat when am I?? And I don't want to run more than a mile on a treadmill. The alarm went off and I looked outside and it was still dark. "I don't want to go outside by myself when it is dark." I finally got out about 6:25am. It was so hot, I only did a little over 5 miles and I thought I was going to die of heat stroke. I never regret running and I always feel good after the first mile and when it is done for the day. But MAN do I miss sleeping in. Last week Monta and I made the decision, not to meet at the park on Tuesdays. We already do Zumba that day. So I am hoping having that one day to sleep in past 5:45am. Will give me something to look forward to.

Weigh In
Well I am a copy cat! Here is January, April & July. Weigh in wise I lost 5lbs this week!! YIPEE!!
Goals:
- Well my Birthday is in 1 month! And I want to hit my goal 10 pounds in one month. I hope that is not to crazy of a idea but I really hope I can get there!!
- at least 5 miles 6 days a week
- keep doing Zumba
- OH yes those Darn early Saturday morning runs! AHHH
- Training for a half marathon in November
SO Glad we started this!
I've made a couple good decisions in my life. One of those was choosing great friends that help me, motivate me, and believe in me. Friends that decided to start this blog to help each other out on our journey. I REALLY don't know if I could have kept it up for the last 6 months without your encouragement. Thanks guys. I'm not quite at my goal yet, but I am getting closer. Here are my pics from January, April, and July. Even though some months I didn't see huge differences, overall there has been changes. YIPPEE!!

So for my weigh in for the week I lost 2 pounds!!! I'll need to double check and calculate what that is for the month, but I think it's only 3 -5 pounds. My weight loss has slowed down big time, but I'm still trying. I'm a little worried because I'm SO CLOSE to getting into the next decade, and I have a big eating weekend, with the long weekend, a baptism at my in-laws that are known for amazingly good food, and a mini vacation in town. I'm going to try to be good. Because I won't be around for the long run tomorrow morning, we'll be on a mini vacation here in town. My brother has a timeshare through Sunday morning, but they left town this morning, and are letting us stay there- I didn't have to go as many miles tomorrow because I have the 1/2 marathon next Saturday, so I ran my 6 miles today and walked an extra 1/2 mile. I'm going to do the 2 miles I was scheduled to do today, tomorrow morning in the gym there, but I didn't want to have 6 miles hanging over my head while I was in party mode.
Then next week I'll be going up to Utah for vacation, a good long, 10 day vacation. I revert to old habits on vacation, but my family that I'll be staying with is onboard too, and I'll be running a 1/2 marathon while I'm up there. I'll just really have to stay on top of it. I don't want to be this close and then gain 10 pounds on vacation, just to have to start all over again in this decade.
As for my monthly goals - I should go back and check what I wanted to accomplish, but I know one of them was going to the gym, or doing something different at least once a week to shock my body. I've done that!! I really think it made a difference. I'm really enjoying the zumba class, and I really enjoyed going to the gym with you guys, but I haven't been in a couple weeks. I also did a short pilates DVD last night and loved it.
My goals for this month, I'm going to try to be realistic. I want to lose at least 3 pounds, so that would put at a total of 54 pounds lost and only 8 pounds away from my ultimate goal - which I might be changing and adding just one more pound to get into the next decade, but I'm keeping it at 62 pounds for now. I also want to keep doing crosstraining at least once per week, like going to the gym, or zumba class, or a DVD something like that. I also want to keep up on our long Saturday runs, even though I hate the heat, and I hate waking up early, but only 2 more months then hopefully it'll start to cool down!
Six months down, many more to go...

Kim's Results
It amazes me that all the effort I put in gets me NO WHERE! That's right, NO where. I gained 2 lbs!!
I'm not gonna fret about it, but it is completely frustrating that I keep fluctuating between this 2-3 lbs every week. I can't seem to drop any real weight no matter what I do.
Oh well, I'm gonna keep going and do my best either way. I've got a wedding I need to look good for and giving up won't get me there.
