New strides

Even though the skies looked grim today, I went for a walk today. The neighbor was going to bail, I made her get up and go with me. We went down to bratcher estates and walked the neighborhood and decided to come back and just walk our street in case is started to storm.

Normally I just got for a walk and occasionally I'll do a sprint but never an actual run or jog. I'm not sure what compelled me to jog today but I did it! It felt so good!!!! So I see some more jogging in my future. Boss loved it too! His ears just flapping in the wind, tongue hanging out. Too cute! Hopefully he will sleep well tonight, I know I am!

Venting

I'm not happy let me just throw that out there! I don't understand people. I went for a walk with Boss today. Here we are just trucking along, Boss checking everything out, Me just jamming to the iPod. We are minding our own business not bothering a soul just walking and sweating. There were some typical honks and waves and all that jazz that you get when walking on a sidewalk in town, that is expected. What was yelled out today, stopped me dead in my tracks. I had just finished my one mile on way and was starting on my way back home when this car full of teenage boys ( they couldn't be a day over 17) passed by and as they are passing by one hangs half way out the window and yells " WHALE!!" Really?!?!?! Why? Here I am trying my hardest and actually getting out there and bettering myself and you want to make nasty comments like that? How rude. I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me. It did. No one wants to be called names or hurtful things said to them. It doesn't make you feel good.  But I can say  I am not going to let it phase me, I am still going to go out there and do my walks and continue to get myself all fit a sexy. A month or so ago if this would of happened, you wouldn't see me back out there for fear that that moment would happen again. Not this time! You aren't getting in the way of me and my goal mister. I just hope that whom ever it was that made that comment gets at one with himself and solves what ever issue he has that makes him feel better by making other people feel bad about themselves. 

So people just remember when you see a bigger person out walking or running or whatever it is they are doing, don't yell out mean things to them and make them feel bad about themselves. Believe me, we already have enough self image issues, we DON'T need you to publicly point out our flaws. We are aware of them, that's why we are out there.... TRYING TO FIX IT! 

Ok Im done I am off my soap box......A full body pic with measurements will be coming up in the next post or so! 

September 20

Finally went for a walk today. It has been a week since I have done anything. What a slacker! Good news though I weighed myself Saturday, I am down to 265.8. So now I am down 18.2 pounds. Which makes me excited! Almost 20 pounds lost! Other than that, nothing too exciting to write about!

One more day for progress

Awesome day! Was told my scrub tops where looking big on me! HECK YES! I was smiling from ear to ear when I was told that! Little comments like that mean the world to me and makes me want to keep striving towards my goal!

Had an awesome walk with Boss today at Shepherdsville City Park. Did 3.5 miles. Was all sweaty and nasty and I was okay with that! No sweat, no glory.

All Smiles

Weighed in yesterday and I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear! I weighed in at 268.4!! I am so excited to see 260 something! That's been my little goal is to see 260 something before Halloween! AND I DID IT! So that puts me at a total of 15.6 pounds lost since I have started my blog! Pretty stoked about that! I am half way to my goal of loosing 30 pounds before the end of the year. Hopefully I will reach that goal and possibly exceed it! How awesome would that be?!?!?!

Today our city park they had a Remembering 9/11 ceremony and instead of driving up there, me and the neighbor walked! It's about a 2 mile walk from my house to the park. So I got my exercise in and I got to par take in all of the festivities! It was a win win situation!

Told you I was super excited!!! 

Who said Yoga was easy?

They lied! Yoga is not easy! It's hard and kicked my ass! I am weak! I have come to realize I have ZERO upper body strength! But not for long! I found this 10 lbs slim down Yoga program on my exercisetv channel and I figured I would try it out! Boy oh boy! What did I get myself into? My body was contorted in positions I did not know I was capable of doing. And the crazy thing about it, I was actually enjoying it. I was stretching muscles I haven't in a long time! I had no idea how up tight and tense I was! So I definitely see me doing some more Yoga in my future, it hard, but makes me feel oh so good!

After  I did my 22 min yoga thing I decided to go ahead and do a 10 minute cardio session as well. Boy oh boy again! That man doesn't play either! Longest ten minutes ever! And once again I loved it! 

So all in all it's been a good day. I even stopped by a local tanning salon and signed up for an unlimited month deal so I can be all fit and sexy and tan!! yay!!!!! 

Great Success! 

Sunday Morning

Completely forgot to blog Sunday after my walk. Boss and I woke up really early Sunday morning since that seems to be our new trend. After a few hours of just sitting around doing nothing but watching TV I decided we needed to get out lazy butts up and burn off some calories. We went to the Shepherdsville City Park since it is closer to home and I didn't feel like spending $5 to get into Bernheim :)   We walked and slighty jogged 2.5 miles.

Here is our POV of Sunday morning:

 BossMan found a lady friend we was rather fond of, I think that's the only time we was willing to run lol 

Poor BossMan was exhausted! 

And just a little FYI that makes me SUPER excited.... My once "fat pants" ( every girl knows what I am talking about) that sadly became my "oh crap i need to suck in pants" have now become my " i think im going to need a belt pants" HELL YEA!!!! 

and another little FYI, I need to someone to buy me one of these http://www.shopbounce.com/product/bras/sports-bra/310184.do?sortby=ourPicks     because my sports bra from Old Navy just isn't supporting my "gals" like it should and I'm just flopping all over the place and I refuse to spend that much money on a sports bra :)

No assembly required

My TV wants to help me get fit! Thanks to my wonderful Momma, I can now follow workout videos via On Demand. I have NO idea there was an ExerciseTV channel. I feel like I should of known this option was available before last night, but there is too much going on and too many channels  I haven't a clue whats on there.

Jillian Michaels! Has her own show on this channel. She is even fierce in her 10 minute workout. I saw this and was like oh 10 minuets this will be a breeze. WRONG! I was sweating and feeling the burn 2 minutes into it. She's a beast! And I like it! Momma tried to do it with me but my puppy kept trying to eat her pant legs so she just took pictures instead lol

Defiantly not my most attractive side but hey it works. Figured it was better to get a picture of the final stretching part rather than the mid work out dying look... not flattering at all :0)

I'm loving finding out all of the new possibilities to get a work out in without having to spend money! Now I am off to take Boss for a walk at the park! More to come!
