At least I keep trying!

So, I weighed myself this morning, and I am up to 219.8.  Ouch doesn't even begin to say it!  I have put on 20 of the 45 pound that I lost.  I am very disappointed in myself.  But, I am going to try it again.  I worked out yesterday and today.  I am planning my work outs for the next couple days.  I have realized that I am really good at talking myself out of working out.  When my back hurts, or my knees, I tell myself I should rest, take it easy.  The truth is, I am not going to stop hurting until I strengthen my body.  I can't strengthen my body without working out and dieting.  Again, my goal is 170, and my goal date is June 14, Perry's last day of school.  My first goal is 10 pounds, and I will buy myself the new Jillian Michaels DVD, Fast Fix Kick Boxing.  More goals to come!

Jello: Two Ways

So, as I said, I have not been working out, and I gained weight back.  So, my body feel like Jello.  Today, I did a hard work out, and now my muscles feel like Jello, but that is good!  I am hoping to get back into a regular work out routine, and to be getting back on my diet too.  I did not weigh myself this morning, but I will tomorrow.  I think I am around 218 (groan).  My goal is still 170, and I think I will make the target will be June 14, Perry's last day of school.  So, after I weigh myself tomorrow, I will set my first goal.  So, keeping my fingers crossed, here we go again! 

Here we go again... Again.

So, it's been a while since I wrote, and it's because I have been lazy.  I have gained back 15 of the 40 pounds I lost.  I haven't been able to work out because of cellulitis, phlebitis, and hematomas in my leg.  They are finally not eye-tearingly painful, and the swelling is down.  Also, we went on vacation for 2 weeks.  Boy, did we eat well in Disney World!  But, the point is that I have not been eating well, and unable to work out, so I am pudgy.  And that sucks.  School starts Monday for my son, and next Friday for my daughter, so I will have 3 free mornings a week.  I am hoping to start Couch 2 5K those mornings, and a workout DVD on 3 days a week.  I have a friend who gets up every morning and if at the track at 5:15 am, and she is looking fantastic!  I am hoping that by the spring, I will be nearing my target weight, which is 170.  Maybe I should make the target date Perry's last day of school, which is June 14.  My first goal, however, is to fit into my jeans by the fall.  Oy.  Let's get this started!
