Not much to report, but I was checking in on your blogs and posting my Monday weight on my side bar, and I figured I might as well leave a quick post. Last week I saw 136.5 on the scale...I sure liked that number. For the past few days I've been 137.0, which still thrills me because I'm down 2 pounds from that nasty 3 week plateau.
I'm starting to feel more toned finally. My husband actually said yesterday that he sees some definition in my abs. So, that's my goal for the remaining two months of this competition. I want to lose just a couple of more pounds, but focus mainly on toning.
So, the 5K is this weekend in SLC, right? Good luck on that, ladies! It sounds like a lot of fun for all of you who are doing it together.
Happy Monday!

Finally Again!
Boy, I almost don't dare post about this in fear of jinxing myself or something. The scale keeps going down each day this week! Remember this happened to me last month too. A long plateau and then all of a sudden it drops like crazy one week.
139.0 three week plateau
138.5 on Monday & Tuesday
137.5 on Wednesday
136.5 Today
WOW! That makes me feel so much better after those 3 weeks. I'm so happy to finally see results.
We leave for our cruise in 8 days. I ended up buying two new bathing suits....a tankini and a bikini. Can't decide for sure if I dare wear the bikini yet or if I'm saving it for this summer after our competition. Even though my weight has gone I still feel like a have a lot of toning to do on my mid-section. I probably should start working harder on that instead of so much cardio. I think I need to buy some DVD's or something to help me know what exercises I should be doing.

Finally
So, after 3 weeks of a plateau, I finally lost a whopping 1/2 pound. But, hey, I'll take it. At least it's a new number on the scale and it's in the right direction. And I saw the number yesterday and again today, so it wasn't a one day fluke either.
Seems like everyone is posting less and commenting less this month! Hope you are all doing good and keeping it up!

Frustrated
Ok, frustrated for two reasons....
First, the scale still hasn't moved! I've been working out and eating good and yet in 3 weeks I haven't lost an ounce. Talk about a wicked plateau. I know, you told me that I'm building muscle, I shouldn't rely on the scale as much as taking measurements, etc. But come on, not even 1/2 a pound in 3 weeks?
Second, my twins turned 2.5 yrs old this coming week and suddenly it appears that they have outgrown their naps. My routine has been that I exercise everyday while they nap. So, now I'm fighting with them for the whole nap time (and they aren't sleeping) instead of exercising! Guess I have to get up super early in the morning to exercise now? This totally disturbs me. You have no idea.
On a related note, I also used nap time to do my photography business work. Now I can't do that either. Also, disturbing. And no, so far they aren't sleeping any longer at night since they are skipping their 2 hour nap either. ARGH!!!
Oh, and while we're talking about frustrations, let me continue to rant. Actually I won't rant. I'll just say this. I tried on bathing suits at the store the other day. I left empty handed. Enough said.

Zero
Zero is the amount of weight I've lost in the past week after kicking my butt for a week with work outs and eating properly. Darn! I worked out extra hard this past week. Even went to the club gym twice, on top of exercising at home. And did really good on my eating. And a big fat zero weight loss. Well, maybe my theory of the scale showing results the following week will prove true once again. We'll find out this week.
PS....I'm coming back to SLC next month again! April 22-26. My step-son is graduating from BYU so we're coming to attend the graduation. Maybe we can meet up for lunch again one day.

Motivation
Hmmm. Took my boys to McD's for lunch and I ordered a cheeseburger. Wonder why I did that? I did order the yogurt parfait instead of the fries. Although I don't think the yogurt thing is that great for you either. So I'm questioning where my motivation went. I'll find it again. Just lost it a little after traveling last week and not being in the groove and regular routine.
Actually, I do have one big motivator. We just booked a cruise and we leave in just under one month. Hubby and I are going to the Western Caribbean with stops in Mexico. Part of me wants to kick some serious butt, lose 5 pounds this month and then I think I'd be ready for a bikini on the cruise. The other part of me thinks I probably can't do all of that in one month so to keep my bikini goal for this summer as planned.
Find the motivation, Kristi!!!
On that note, I'm off to exercise.

Monthly Weigh In
Today was our monthly weigh in. It's the end of the second month. Ironically I lost the exact same amount in month 2 as I did in month 1. I'm thrilled to be in the 130's. I wasn't able to exercise during the past 5 days when we traveled to SLC. So I'm excited to get back at it and see what I can accomplish this month.
Also, it was fabulous hanging out with some of you at lunch on Monday. It was great meeting you in person after getting to know you online. I'm looking forward to seeing some of you again in the future too!
Congrats to Karilynn & Katie, our monthly losers.....I mean, winners! You guys did awesome again!
