I went. It kicked my backside, but I did it.

Circuit weights. 1 minute on each machine, light weight, as many reps as I could do. Alternate with 1 minute on the bike. I worked a little too hard on the bike and almost passed out, but didn't. I was lying on my face doing leg curls anyway, so I didn't even have to worry about falling.

Tomorrow, I will do my 30 day Shred.
Did you hear me? I am GOING to do it.

Back to the grind! I've missed 2 weeks of the Ultimate Loser. We were at the beach for spring break, then I had a baby with a fever and a snotty nose. Everyone is better today.

The weather is gross: rain, thunder, lightning. But I'm going!!

Phew! I kept my promise to myself. I did NOT wimp out. I went tonight. The girls went and took a Kids in Motion class and had a great time! I lifted weights and rode on the bike. I have decided I am a freak though. I can't do the tough cardio for another week or two. I want to be running the big hill or going up and down the stairs. I know the more I do, the faster I will be healthier.

I am going to be sore tomorrow, and I can't wait!

Delay delay delay
Samuel has an allergy nose and cough. I don't want the YMCA to think I am bringing a sick kid to them. So, no Loser this morning.

The good news? They do it at night too! Nathan is going to do his very best to be home at 5:30 so I can go at 5:45 and get my workout in. Isn't he great!

I AM SORE!! Not unable to move because I overdid it, but those muscles are there and worked hard and are a little SORE!1 The very very best most amazing thing? My stomach hurts! I have ab muscles somewhere in here! HOORAY!

Ok, I'm putting it ALL out there. I went to the YMCA yesterday and had a decent workout. Things were a bit scrambled at the beginning, but I did all my weight work. I also weighed and measured and got my BMI. I am going to be brave and post it. This blog is mostly for me. I know you people in cyberworld read it. I know I am big big big, but I want you all to celebrate with me when I am going down down down!

Sit-ups: I can't do any. None. I managed 20 crunches in 1 minute
Push-up: Girly style. I used to do them manly! 18 before fatigue
Chest: 45"
Waist: 48"
Hips:51.5"
R Bicep 14.25"
R Thigh: 22.25"
R Calf 15.75"
Weight: 224 lbs
BMI: 37.3
Age: 33

My goal is 150 pounds. That was my weight when I got pregnant with Celeste, my oldest. I got down to that before I got pregnant with Lydia, and got close before I got pregnant with William. If I get lower, then great!

Off we go!

Tomorrow is the big day. I start my Ultimate Loser Challenge at the YMCA tomorrow. I promise to post pounds and inches lost, in addition to my workouts!

Praise the LORD! For He is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we can imagine!

I went to the doctor for, hopefully, my final followup on the stress fracture. I still have some swelling and tendeness. I went for a bonescan. The Doc was concerned that I wasn't healing and would need to be in a cast. NIGHTMARE!!

The bonescan revealed that my stress fracture is almost completely healed. My right foot was "hot" from the instep of my foot up through my ankle since it has been picking up the slack. She said I NEEDED to be out of m yboot for the sake of my right foot. I am to wear my good tennis shoes around the house. I should wear the boot if I go walking somewhere, the zoo, the mall, for the next 3 weeks. Then I am clear!

I signed up to participate in the Ulitmate Loser program at my local YMCA as well. So far, there is only one other participant. I get 11 weeks with 2 sessions per week with a trainer for 1 hour. I only have to share her with one other person!

I can't wait to get started!
