It's Friday!
How's it going? Real quick before I head off to work... Got my walk in last night. Thankfully there was a brief break in the rain! I have been venturing further every time I do go out for a walk in the neighborhood so therefore I am getting more distance and time in as well! This morning, I did the Power 90 sweat workout with the additional abs!! Got my healthy lunch packed up and ready to go and as of right now the sun is shining, but I do live in Oregon, give it a few minutes!! Have a great day~

I'm Back!
I know it's been forever, I sort fell off the wagon as some might say! But, I'm back now. Most everyone knows, but just a quick touch base that I am no longer pregnant. We lost the baby in November. We went in for the ultrasound and found out the baby's heart wasn't beating and was no longer living. Yes it was tough, but we have overcome it.
Anyway, I have been working out pretty steadily for the past couple of weeks. I initially started this blog to keep me accountable to all of you with my actions to become healthier. Well, I am proud to say that I am still on my quest to being healthy. Back in July when I started I was at about 250lbs, (holy wow) and with my latest weigh in I am down to 223lbs. I wasn't sure I was going to start the blog back up, but I was told that it was a motivation and inspiration to some of the people who were following. So, if I can be that extra motivation that you need.. I will do my best to be here for you!!
Like I said, I have been making a conscious effort to do some sort of workout, physical activity every day for the last couple weeks. It has been absolutely fabulous! I am shrinking. I started the Beach Body Power 90 workout last week and the first couple days it kicked my butt! But that's totally what I wanted it to do!! Tonight I skipped power 90 and went for a good walk with Kadie (you all remember Kadie the dog...). I went a little more than a mile and a half...oh yeah~ :) Well, with nearly 30 lbs gone, I still have a goal weight. My goal is 200lbs. and then when I reach that, I have a bonus goal of 180. but I don't want to put the cart before the horse! I try to only weigh myself once a week. Remember it's not about obsessing about the weight loss, its about getting healthy and feeling great! Stay with me... We Will be Healthy Together. Keep active and Eat healthy!!!

gettin' settled in!
Hey there,
It's been nearly a month since my last post. We just moved and things have been crazy hectic the last couple weeks!! I haven't been making a conscience effort to "work out". However with all the packing, moving, back and forth, cleaning and unpacking, I have been able to still get small work outs in. And I walk Alex to the bus stop every morning, which isn't much but for now it's something. The worst part of all that was when the kitchen was torn appart, we ate out for dinner almost every night. Bad news, I know. With being pregnant too, I didn't necessarily make healthy choices for myself, I picked what I knew I would be able to eat!! Cheese burger here, nuggets there, and oh my goodness, I was so super sick fast food, bleck!
So now we are getting settled into our new home, and I have been to the produce department at the grocery store, lots of fruits and veggies in the fridge!! I feel like I am able to eat healthier, now to just get back to walking everynight... time to break out the umbrella and gloves. Oh and a flashlight. I love fall, it's actually my favorite season, but I love, love, love the longer days of summer. Dark so fast in fall and winter, oh well take the good with the bad (or something like that!)
Okay well, I hope I can be back on here a lot more frequently!!! SO Here we go, have a Happy, Healthy day!!!

I've lost track of what day...
Okay just real quick touch base, as I am on the way out the door!
Went camping last weekend, and it was a great trip, no sickness! It was hot though and I did get in some good exercise, but I didn't eat the most healthy snacks that I could have!! For the most part I didnt do too bad but there were a few things that would normally have been on my naughty list!!!
It's been kinda hard to be motivated to workout, because I have been so tired and/or not feeling well in the evenings, but hopefully that goes away soon!!!
I just had my first prenatal dr appt. it was good, nothing to report, just lots of paperwork and tests!!
I might get a walk in tonight if it's not still 8million degrees outside when I get home from work tonight.
That's about all I have for now... will keep you updated!!

Day 52
Good morning and happy Wednesday to you,
I didn't post yesterday, because there wasn't really anything to post... I didn't sleep well and decided to try to get as much as possible by not going to the last cardio class. I had a headache all day yesterday, and it is still with me this morning. Now that I am pregnant I can no longer take any of the headache medicine that actually makes them go away. I can take acetominaphen. I'll make do. I think a large part of it is caffeen withdrawl, limited amounts of caffeen are okay, but I am absolutly sure that the amount I was drinking is not okay!!!
I got my prenatal vitamins after work last night. I got gummy vitamins, I think they are less likely to make me sick. (Thank you Jordan)
After dinner I went for a walk, it was the same route that I usually go, but seemed to take less time, maybe because I didn't have the dog! and I did have my Ipod so that I could keep steady pace!
Anyway, that's what's going on, working the late shift today, and I think I have to go to the grocery store for camping after work... gonna be a sort of late night!!!
Have a great day!

Day 50~
Yeah, It's been a few days since my last post, but I've had a few things going on... Friday after work I had to get everything over to Gregg and Teena's house and priced for the yard sale on Saturday. We were there until around 10:30.
Saturday we got up early to get over to the yard sale that we started at 7am. Thinking that since it was supposed to be blazing hot on Saturday people would be out early! Not so much, was pretty slow in the morning, and pretty slow throughout the whole day actually! I got a quick walk in when I went to hang one last sign! The whole sale was kind of a bust though, we made a little money!
In the evening, we got Alex back from his dad's, so super glad to have him home!
Sunday, we went over and looked at a house that is for rent, we really liked it and it will be so much nicer that living in this stupid apartment complex. We are moving Sept 24th. Then we went to cool off at the river. We came home, ate dinner and I went for a walk.
Oh yeah, I also found out I was pregnant!! Yep that's right, gonna have a baby!! Such a range of emotions going on right now happy excited nervous scared...
I just got home from a walk this evening.
Things are changing for me. This was quite an eventful weekend. I have worked so hard getting healthy and losing weight, I will remain on my healthy voyage, but obviously it will be modified into keeping me and the baby healthy!!!
Good night, sweet dreams~

Day 46~
Good Morning,
Okay, I didn't post yesterday, so I'll give you the rundown; Tuesday night after work, I went for a good walk, Last night I got Jason to go on my walk with me, and when we got back, I didn't feel like I got a really good workout, So I got my ipod and went again!!! I was able to walk much faster and keep steady pace because of the music! Then we sat outside for a while, even though it was hot out, it was more hot in the house, Jason turned the air conditioner on, but then it got so cold... it pretty much only cools the down stairs, so it was 30below in the living room, and still 80 upstairs! We chatted with the neighbors for a while and then it rained like 5-10 rain drops!! There was lightning all around but no thunder that I heard.
Anyway, I got up this morning and went to cardio class! Yay~
We ran and jumped and walked and ran and jumped, you get the picture... good workout!~ Oh yeah, remember how I missed class on Tuesday... so did Angi, she overslept so the ladies that showed up, worked out on their own, good job girls, but how funny that the instructor didn't show also!
So, I'm feeling good this morning, coffee is just about done and time for me to get a little nourishment and yeah, y'all have a fantastic Thursday~
