feeling good

Really feeling good about my program. Working out with the Billy Blanks videos really makes a big difference. He really gets you sweating. Can't wait for the weigh in this Monday to see how it has helped. Also am doing Slim Fast. I am amazed that I am not hungry. I am so determined to lose this weight.

weigh-in

I am so excited, I lost 3 lbs. Staying with the program pays off. With me doing this blog also keeps me accountable for what I do. Kim also lost 3 lbs and she also was very excited. I am glad we are doing this together. When you have some one there pushing you it helps to keep both of us motivated. WE CAN DO THIS, that is our Motto.

new workout video

So Kim and I decided to buy Billys boot camp cardio inferno workout video. It is 52 minutes of non stop cardio workout sweat your butt off. We really like it and also want to try the intense abs workout by him. We are so determined to get this weight off. If this doesn't get the weight off,I don't know what we can try next. But I have a feeling this is going to do the job. I will keep you posted on our results.

weigh-in

So, it didn't go as I wanted. I actually gained a pound but I will not let this get me down and discouraged. John,my son-in-law actually has a certificate for a personal trainer and he told me to up my cardio. I have been doing the same thing for quite sometime so my body is use to it so it needs a change. So, I am going to take his advise and see how it goes. Being 60 doesn't help either and having a under active thyroid surely doesn't help the situation. Anyhow, I will keep plugging along at it until the weight comes off. Kim maintained which is better than gaining.Will see how it goes next Monday.

our first weigh-in

Well, it went as I suspected for me but I will not let it get me down. I maintained and that to me is good since I was not able to work out since I was sick. Kim lost 2 lbs and am very proud of her. Brandi and Gracie weren't there when we did our weigh in so I am not sure how they did. Hope they did good. Went and bought the shaker weight and just did the 6 minute workout. I could really feel it in my arms and shoulders. Always could use a little extra workout. We shall see if it is as good as they say it is. Hoping next weigh-in I lose some weight.

better

I was sick all weekend so I was not able to get any workouts in. I was in bed for two days. Now I am all better and ready to get back to my journey of lossing this weight. Tonight is the weigh-in and not sure how I have done since I wasn't able to work out. I did still watch what I ate so if I maintained ,that will be good. I will let you all know the results.

sick

It never fails, I seem to get sick right after the New Year. I was suppose to workout with Kim, Brandi and Gracie tonight but instead I will be staying home. Hopefully I will be better by Sunday to continue with my journey. I will defientley be there for the weigh in(think it is on Monday). I really love doing the Biggest Loser Wii work out with them because it motivates me. I will keep you all updated on my progress week by week.

our first workout

Me, Kim, Brandi and Gracie all made it through our first workout together. It was a good workout and I am hoping we all will meet our goals. Gracie wanted to know what the person will get who wins the biggest loser. I told her she was in charge of the prize. She said $500 I said a little too steep for me. Then she said $250. I said maybe I should be in charge LOL. Next workout Friday.

Wii Biggest loser

Tonight Kim and I started the biggest loser on the Wii. Kim called me and asked if her friend Brandi and daughter Gracie could join us. I say the more the merrier. It is nice to have extra support in the battle that we are all facing, our weight. We will do a 12 week program to start. When we are done with that program we will start another one since it will only let us do 12 weeks at a time. I am hoping by the end of the year I will be close to my goal or at goal. One step at a time though. So far I have been doing very good with what I have been eating. Going to the gym comes easy for me since I like going there so much. I am so glad that I have the support of my daughter and that I can give her the support she needs also. I will also give Brandi and her daughter much encouragement. The Biggest Loser this season is couples so this is so appropriate that Brandi and her daughter are joining me and my daughter. Let the competion begin and see who is the Biggest Loser at the end of the year. Good Luck.

cardio

All I have to say is CARDIO CARDIO CARDIO! Doing alot of cardio to start out the workout program. Will add weights a couple times a week. Don't want to build alot of muscle right now. I will probably just update this once a week on Tuesdays. That is when Kim and Iwill be doing our weigh-ins when we start the biggest loser on the Wii. We start this Tuesday. So excited.

the gym

Today is my first day back to the gym in the new year. I am really excited to get started with my workouts. I do love going to the gym and I can spend 3 hours there with no problem. Swimming is my favorite thing so I will swim for an hour. I also love riding the bike, walking on the treadmill and doing the elipitical. Here's to a healthier new me.

day one

In my just getting started program, I woke up to have toast for breakfast. Lunch I am going to have a salad. For dinner it will be pork chop, corn, applesauce and a few potatoes. I know my workouts won't start until tomorrow because I will be at Kim's all day today.Maybe we can do a little workout at her house with the medicine ball. Kim will be working out with me also. We will be encouraging each other this year. Good luck to her too.
