Lick and lower, licked and lower! ahhh!

Hello all,
I met your favorite Yoga instructer today Beth!! I know this is very mean, but I thought she was pregnant for sure for awhile, then she was doing some moves unsafe for pregnancy.... and I thought NO WAY!! She was huge! And her "outfit" was 8 sizes to small for her.
Then she started counting... lick and lower, licked and lower lick lick lick.... IT'S LIFT LADY!
Anway... ha ha.... now I know exactly what you guys where talking about!
Mean Mean. I hope that does not cause me bad karma for saying all that mean stuff.
Did pretty good today eating/working out. I will try to have a good rest of the week as well. That's the plan. Good eating and excersizing to you all this week as well. Final weigh in is getting close ahhhhh!

Sick kids = Feeling Large Momma

Ugh My plans were to really hit it hard this week however that got derailed by snow, 2 kids with double ear infections who want nothing to do with their dad and are not sleeping, and I don't know how to tell people at work "NO" when they ask me to work for them. This week I will have worked last night, tonight, now tomorrow night, Thursday night, and Saturday morning at the GAP for cripes sakes! Half my problem is that I really wish my gym was open later than 10 because I would totally go workout after working since it takes me awhile to wind down when I get home. I guess Jillian is going to have to be my best friend until Friday night. I am also just trying to really watch what I eat since I am not working out as much this week. This is really giving me anxiety!!!

Anyone up for Yoga somewhere Friday night? I have to drop the kids off at Brant's work at 5 and there is a 5:30 C2 class in Minnetonka that I can probably make it to. Love to you all and I pledge to get back on here and blog again!

Bad Weekend!

Hello all.
I had a very bad weekend for calorie intake. Very bad. The worst I've had in some time.
All was pretty good until about 2:00 on Sat. I went ice Fishing on Sat with Grant for a "date" ( I know you are all jealous of my date becuase it sounds so much fun). While fishing I had 3 heavy beers (165 cals a pop) and some chips. Then for supper we had chicken nacho's with lots of guac and I had some wine at night as well.
So today I added all of those cals up on livestrong and it was like 2200!! With the workout we did, my net cals were around 1800 so that's still about 500 calories over for the day. Not a good thing.
Today has been okay. I am just worried about tonight becuase it's the superbowl and I will want to snack. I'm making 3 different kinds of chicken wings and will try one of each kind. I will also have a bloody mary for sure becuase I am making a bloody mary bar. But those are actually not bad for you, just vodka and tomatoe juice.
So worst weeked ever so far during this challenge.
I will get back into gear and really 'strict it up' for these last 3 weeks (after tonight). You won't see a heavy beer within 90 ft of me! They were kind of gross anyway... really filling and made me feel like crap for even drinking them! Dang Ice Fishing!! (I actually had allot of fun though)
Love to you all!

ps. Any plans to work out next weekend? I was thinking of going to Sculpt in EP again at 8:00 on Sat.

Hey ladies,

  When is our last day for this, is it the 27th of Feb?  I thought that was the day, but I just want to make sure.

Here is my progress so far.  I measured myself the other day to see how serious I need to get.  I need to get serious anyways though.  Even with this progress.

My weight has only gone down a few pounds, which I expected.  I am glad I made an inches goal.

Before After

Neck 12------------11.5
Chest 35-----------34 (even with my issues, I guess I don't get minus 5 pounds!) 
Waist 32-----------30 (and yesterday I ate a mushroom swiss burger with sweet potato fries) 

Hips 38.5----------37.5 (i would like this to go down more) 
Thigh 22.5-------22 (I would like this to go down more)
Calf 13.5--------13.5  
Arm 11.5---------10.75

so there is more progress then I thought I would have here.  I could do some serious work these next two weeks, so we'll see how motivated I become and where time allows me to go!  We will also be having chemo within the next two weeks, if Mike is sleeping I'll sneak in some Jillian.

Love you all 

Jen

Goal Weight :-)

Hello!
I've weighed in at my goal weight every day for over a week now :-) Yippy!!!! So now I'm going to try and get below that. Just for fun! And I want a better stomach... also just for fun!!

Long Time Gone...

WOW I haven't posted in a long a** time!!! So, to make up for it, I am giving you all an update/preview of my inches progress. Here is a little chart to show you where I've come:

Neck 12.5 (Nov) 12.25(Now) -.25
Chest 34.5 (Nov) 33.5 (Now) -1
Waist 28 (Nov) 27 (Now) -1
Hips 37 (Nov) 36.5 (Now) -.5
Thigh 20.5 (Nov) 20.5 (Now) No Change
Calf 14.5 (Nov) 14.5 (Now) No Change
Arm 10.5 (Nov) 10 (Now) -.5

I'm pretty happy with that progress, overall I've lost 3.25 inches. It's discouraging to see no losses in my legs, but I guess they're just getting firmer and not flabby, right? That's got to count for something... :)

I had a great time Saturday too, and I can't wait for this Saturday! So much fun, double yoga workouts!!! We crazy!!!

Eating is going pretty well too, although last night I ate at Brady's and had a piece of white bread toast, which I haven't had in a MILLION years (white bread is the nutritional equivalent of garbage) so I felt guilty, but it was only one piece. Overall, staying within the 1400 calorie range, which has been my goal.

Love to you all, and keep posting!!! ONE MONTH LEFT - YES WE CAN!!!!

Had fun on Sat

Hello there,
I had a great time on Sat! Thanks everyone for coming. I thought it was a fun change of pace from the workouts we had been doing together and all our Yoga.
Looking forward to our crazy crazy double class next weekend! Hope I don't completely faint! I might need to change my clothes in between the 2 classes. 2 different workout outfits for 2 different classes. I'm sure I will be completely soaked after sculpt and I don't want to keep that on for to long. See you all soon and have a great week. -Kara
