Week 9 - Sara
And without further ado, here are my results for the week:
Slightly less than stellar. But I know exactly what happened and I really can't blame my body at all. In fact, I'm surprised I even lost any with how much I ate this week. Thank goodness for exercise!
This week I shall do better and will be looking forward to losing a little more than a pound.

Chelsey - Week 8
I am upset. Last week I really did work out every day. I tried way hard, and where did it get me??
TO 190 lbs. That's right, the same blasted weight I was last week. No wonder people find weight loss frustrating and quit.
WHat's worse is the next two weeks are most likely not going to be super productive in my wiehgt loss schedule. Just to warn you all. This week I have an awful cold and can barely get up and do chores let alone work out. Im hoping by tomorrow I will feel well enough to start my new work out video :INSANITY, it's supposed ot be insanely hard and kick my butt into shape.
And for next weeks agenda? Monday Brynlee is getting surgery to remove her tonsils. And from all the mothers I've heard from so far basically the first 5 days she will be crying and not sleeping, and I will be needing to shove food down her throat with a syringe, because she isnt going to want to eat or drink anything....awesome. SO Im guessing with the little time I have that week Im not going to be taking the time to cook healthy meals and workout. Quick and easy food will most likely be on the menu plan. I wont have time for dishes or that nosense. Maybe the added stress will help though. haha.

Week 8 Results - Sara
I did it! Kicked my butt in gear and added a few extra, high-intensity workouts to try to make up my gain from earlier in the week. Not to mention the random lunges and jumps I did while brushing my teeth or waiting for a pot to boil.
(Plus, I took hubby on a date to Krispy Kreme the day after I had gained. I definitely needed to make it up to myself at that point.)
It was a lot of work but...
For some reason Blogger always registers my photos in this direction. But I am just too lazy to go fix it today.
....TA-DA!! It worked! Hip, hip hurray for another 2 pounds down!

Saturday Suggestion
I decided to share a little about my workouts.
I simply can't afford a gym membership at this point, so I do most of my workouts at home in my living room.
But I didn't go buy a bunch of workout DVDs.
So what do I use?
NETFLIX!
That's right, I stream my videos online. They have a nice little selection of videos which allow me to mix it up and try to avoid getting bored with my workout.
Here is one I tried this week for the first time:
This is a fabulous workout! The 50 minute video breaks up into five 10 minute, high intensity workouts. And let me say, they really are high intensity! I find myself sweating before the end of the first 10 minutes! And I have not yet been able to complete more than 30 minutes at a time before my legs are shaking and I'm completely out of breath. But the great thing about these 10 minute series is that you can do just that- 10 minutes at a time.
There is a lot of jumping and leaping, which can be slightly problematic for a busty gal like me. But since I'm in the privacy of my own home, it's not too traumatizing.
As far as workouts are concerned, I would highly recommend it. I would even give it 5 out of 5 stars. If you get the chance, try it and tell me what you think.

Friday Fact
Yesterday I did it.
I overindulged.
I didn't think it was THAT much, but when I stepped on the scale this morning I found that I had gained almost a whole pound back.
You can try to say that it's just normal weight fluctuation.
But I just don't think that is the case.
My scale so-far has been quite reliable. It hasn't fluctuated at all day-to-day (except to go down on occasion).
And so all of my work earlier this week was counteracted by one simple day of over-indulgence.
And that's when it hit me.
I can't just be losing weight.
I have to be changing.
My whole lifestyle.
My way of thinking about food. About exercise.
The way I relate to food. To exercise.
It can't be temporary.
It must be permanent.
Otherwise, I'll just gain it all back when I'm done.
What a waste that would be!
And sure, I know this is not new information. I've heard it all before.
But I think I'm finally starting to get it.
Really get it.
Good thing today is a new day.
And I will start over.
Again.
And again.
As many times as it takes.

Tuesday Tip Two: Rock Out
You know how when you are at home you turn on the tv to watch a movie or show while you're cleaning/working/whatever... Well, if you are anything like me, you somehow end up migrated back to that tv every 5-10 minutes or so to sit down and enjoy some of the show. and then 10-20 minutes later you convince yourself to get back up and continue what you are supposed to be doing. well...
Turn OFF the TV! Turn ON the music!
I started this this week, and it as helped tremendously. Instead of sitting down all the time flipping through channels, I simply stream "pandora" through my tv and listen to music. It gets me moving, and I get my chores done surprisingly early. Plus it makes me have more pep in my step and instead of finding an excuse to sit down, I try to find more things I can get done.
Also, whenever I have to walk from one side of the house to the other, I've been forcing myself to do those workout lunges the whole way. Toned Butt, here I come!!!
