well i'm surprised that the numbers have gone down and i'm also not suprised since my pants are not as tight these days. Hopefully it will keep going steadly down :-) we've also started taking pics which i probably wont post until i've hit my comfort level but we are taking pics of my progress :-)

Valentines

I'm so glad I have a loving husband who asks what i want for valentines instead of doling out money on stuff i don't want or need. I wanted an office chair not sparkly things and that's what i got! and i love it! I also love my new desk and the new sofa in the kids game room! I'm loving our house and how it's all coming together. I have the most awesome best friend, lover, husband and partner. We rock! I thank god every day that we met and are together! I couldn't want or ask for someone better!

Sinus Infection

So I haven't worked out in almost a week since I've been ill. I apparently have a sinus infection plus i had a stomach virus. So I've taken some measures to make sure this never happens again since it hurts like hell almost as bad as my migraines and I'm sure this also plays apart in my migrains. Today we bought a steamer so I can inhale that twice a day and we got a neti pot, nasal irrigation system, from SinuCleanse. Hopefully these two things together will 1 help with my allergies so i don't need to take pills for it (this is what it says) 2 help clear my sinus infection faster since it's not really seeming to budge with the antibiotics. I really want to feel better so i can get on with working out (i really miss it) and function in my daily life because since i got ill I've haven't really been up to par.

coming to the end of week 2

Well here i am I've worked out almost every day now for 2 weeks! Go me! I for one didn't think I'd ever manage to do 20 minutes sweating on an elliptical but that's what I'm up to now. For the most part it doesn't even feel like working out until i get off it and every muscle in my body screams at me say what the hell did you just do to me. At the beginning of this week my weight had dropped down to 153lbs but has gone back up now to 155lbs? they do say muscle weighs more so that's what I'm going with. So far the benefits from working out aren't that great. 1. all my muscles ache pretty much all the time 2. i seem to poo way more than i used to (i guess this is a plus except when I'm try to hurry and leave the house and it's like uh oh got to go again ugh...and yes tmi i know) 3. (even more tmi) something I'm taking, which i think is the creatine drink that with out I'd be crippled, is giving me some seriously foul gas. i mean like clear the freaking room gas that makes you gag. no a plus at all. Gary says he can see a difference in my body I just don't see it I guess I'm being to judgemental on myself. I did my yoga/palates DVD today on top of my elliptical work out and holly cow i can tell a difference from when i used this DVD and was skinny to now. I can barely do any of the things like i could before. How did i ever getting things this bad. Oh well at least instead of just complaining about it I'm actually doing something about it now. A huge step in the right direction. I may just bust out the measuring tape to see if there is actually any change in that? Maybe not don't want to be disappointed if there is no change. Oh well it's 2:30pm and i stink so i need to get in the shower :-)

Sore

I worked out hardcore this morning then went walking around target for 3 hours then vaccuumed and scrubs all my hardwood flooring. Ugh I hate pain it makes me bitchy and i'm pmsing on top of that. Oh joy. happy days!
