Today's weight: 178.4lbs
Okay, so even with my success in losing a few more pounds, I'm not shedding the weight like I would like to...so JaNae and I have decided to 'push it' with out workouts a little bit. Today we are going to attempt to run a 3.5 mile instead of our usual 3 mile ( well, that was the plan...its raining right now and I'm not sure if JaNae got a chance to map it out.) and I'm hoping that will kick start the metabolism a little. Also, not sure if I mentioned it but its worth mentioning again...we are going to run without the kids on Saturday and see how fast we can go. usually we run on average a 32 minute 3 mile...but that's also with a jogging stroller and chatting the entire way to take our minds off of the fact that we are running. lol. I think if we take our ipods and try not to chat as much, just run the best we can, that we can lower our time to at least 30 minutes, if not a little lower. Ill record the results in here when the time comes.
I'm also considering adding additional strength training to the stuff we already do. We usually alternate days between abs and arms. I'm thinking that I will always do crunches everyday, regardless...I'm hoping the added muscle will help burn more calories and also tone me up.
My diet has been going 'OK' at best. I cave alot, unfortunately, because there is always some sort of delicious food at work. Luckily, I wont be there this weekend. Every weekend the doctors buy us food from random dine out places all over the place. Last weekend there were hot dogs and cheese fries etc etc. and you can buy whatever you want for free. To a food addict like me, that's heaven...but also diet death. lol. So Ill be in control this weekend, thankfully. Also, next Sunday is fast Sunday...so obviously I don't over eat on that day. I'm hoping to see close to 175 by the end of this month...that would get me to the 8 lbs I wanted to lose, I do believe....or at least very close to it.
I'm feeling good!
I'm still frustrated with my body in pictures and in the mirror though...I still look fat compared to the young thriving blonde that I used to be. Ill get it back, I think Ill just have mom hips from now on. :)
Motivated!

Do you have any free weights or resistance bands to do your strength training at home? I know you don't have a gym to go to for that stuff, so I was wondering if you had that stuff at home?
I have a resistance band...I really want some 5 lb weights because JaNae has them...but they were too expensive for me. They said I could use canned foods and stuff, but its too hard to grip in the middle of a workout.
Do you have any stuff like that? Ive been trying to find a friend who has used a medicine ball. Im interested in trying one bc supposedly they work but I dont know anyone personally who has tried one out.
