a clue

Read the previous post first. If you are having a hard time figuring out just what it was that Anne ripped, maybe this can help you out...

Let it rip

Nope--not a muscle
Nope--not a piece of paper
Nope--not a song.

Ask Ree Ree what she ripped during leg excercises on Sunday night and it wasn't her pants, although, what she did could have made a hole in her pants....not sure.

Workout for Monday or Tuesday

Workout for Monday or Tuesday

Back and Biceps, these exercises will assist with toning and strengthening the arms. This will be accompanied with instructional videos. Remember to take some relatively light weights or soup cans. Remember you can do anything that you set your mind to doing. Also if there is another night in addition to Thursday that you would like me to come out just let me know and I can check my schedule. You can do it, you know you can.

Jumping Jacks (3 sets of 12) (1,2,3) = 1

Back

Rows (3 sets of 10)

Dead lift (3 sets of 10)

Good mornings (3 sets of 10)

Shoulder shrugs (3 sets of 10)

Upright row (3 sets of 10)

Biceps

Alternating Standing bicep curls (3 sets of 10)

21s (2 sets)

Reverse Curls (3 sets of 10)

Abs

Flutter Kicks 3 sets of 10 (1,2,3)= 1

Leg lifts (3 sets of 10)

If you have trouble picking things up when you are done, that is perfectly normal.

Will be sending videos shortly

FEEL THE BURN!!

We sure did! Megs, Anne, Kelly, Shawnie and I hired a personal trainer. It's my cousins friend Tony. Tonight was our first work out--minus Shawnie cause she is out of town. Anyway, WHAT A WORKOUT! It was great. Yep, I'm sore. Yep, my legs feel like Jello. Yep, I can't walk up the stairs but I am excited to start getting in shape and loosing weight. I had a pretty good week, except for yesterday, watching what I ate.
It was great because we were all there to encourage each other on. If things got rough, and they did, I would yell BIKINI. I am actually looking forward to Thursday at 5:30 to start all over again. Kathleen

I've been a bad, bad girl!

I am so embarassed to write this...but maybe it will make me accountable for what I put in my mouth. For breakfast today, I had a large glass of skim milk(yay!) and a Suzy Q(boo). For lunch, I had turkey sandwich on lowfat bread, baked chips, a diet coke, and two oreo balls(boo). Just ate a snack of a cupcake. Can you see where my weaknesses are?? My kids have started calling me Mrs. McChocolate! How embarassing!~So tomorrow I will try to do better. I have some fat free chocolate pudding in the house that will have satisfy my chocolate craving. Hopefully I will not eat five of them at a time! And I eat like this everyday! No wonder I have packed on 50 pounds in five years! I need motivation BAD! So my motivation is to fit into a size 10 bathing suit(weighing about 130-135 pounds) by our family vacation in North Carolina next summer! I think I will buy it and hang it on my bedroom wall for motivation, just like the yogurt commercial!!

Good so far

I actually DID start my diet yesterday...you know, when we were supposed to start LEENIE!!! No fair that you cheated and ate BK - or is it not fair that you didn't invite me?
I actually did really good yesterday. I was tempted to grab something quick and easy for lunch, but took the time to make an awesome salad with grilled chicken. I think I've finally realized that you can't eat healthy in a hurry and without planning ahead. I'm not going to be able to go to the grocery store twice a month anymore - this will work for most of the groceries, but I'm going to have to go back weekly for produce and I'm going to have to plan plan plan!

I'm actually pretty proud of myself and off to a good start. I gained 20 pounds with Jack and I had lost it and was back to my pre-pregnancy weight just 6 days after he was born. I've gone on to loose an additional 10 to 15 pounds on top of that. I'm out of all my maternity clothes and in my regular clothes and I'm looking forward to a shopping spree soon when I've lost enough to not have anything else to wear.

So for me, it's not the baby weight, it's the weight before the baby that needs to come off.

I'm excited for Biggest Looser to start - that always motivates me! And the help of all my girls. We just have to remember that there is no food that tastes better than being skinny feels. Does that make sense? Not even a Big Mac or Whopper!

Is anyone doing WW again? Not sure here - we'll see how the month of October goes with regular diet and exercise.

Good luck girlies!

Tomorrow is another day....

Anyone start their diet today? I was supposed to but Ree Ree said that Biggest Loser doesn't start until tomorrow so we celebrated by eating Burger King for lunch. Sad thing......we both weren't that hungry but choked it down anyway and it was very yummy. Tomorrow--yep--tomorrow.
