FINALLY!!!!

I have neglected to get on here and blog about the daily grind of the whole weight loss thing! LOL I did take measurements and weight on Monday and I had LOST! WHOO HOO!!!! from my starting weight it is not a huge loss BUT from last week and the fact that I gained a little it makes it look alot better!
so here goes ( and I am not really sure these are correct, my hubby did them for me, but he did the starting ones too)
WEIGHT: 244.6 ( that is 2.2 down from starting!)
Neck: 15  (15.25 start)
Bust: 47.5 (48.5 start)
Waist: 45.5 (45 start)
Hips: 52.75 (52 start)
Thighs: 27 ( 28 start)

So as you can see I am doing something! LOL

Today I am really sore, I went to work out at a gym with a friend Tuesday, and i think I MAY have over done it! since I have not been to a gym in ohhhhhhh 15 years! LOL I did 15 min elliptical, 15 min stationary bike ( while watching a movie which made it really easy!) a few reps of ab crunches, assisted  pull ups, some tricep curls and some inner and outer thigh work, leg lifts, and a few more that I cant remember, but yeah my legs are ok, but my armpit and chest are sore, Guess I don't use those muscles! LOL BUT I really did like it, and hope that I can get a gym membership!!! although I don't think it is going to be at the gym I went to with my friend ( which would help me push myself  I think) just because of the fact we don't wont to have to sign a contract! SO my hubby and I are looking into other options, he is behind me on this though! he knows I really want to do this, and even if I do have to go alone, I am going to do this, I will just put on my ipod and not look at anyone! LOL I can do it! and I WILL do it!!! even though I am hurting a little today, It felt SOOOOOOOOO good to work out! it really did!

so until next time...

it is so hard

to stay on track when you have your birthday dinner and it is like a bazillion calories, then your sweet hubby and kiddos get you cake, you cant just say ummm I am not going to eat that! LOL so yes I had my cake and ate it too! SO WHAT! I went over on my calorie count on my birthday! GET OVER IT! that's what I have to keep telling myself! LOL things of been a bit hectic here and I have neglected posting things on the blog pertaining to my weight loss and such! but MONDAY is another weigh in and HOPEFULLY things will continue to go the way they have been going this week ( with the exception of my birthday) and my weight will be down! One can hope right!

In other news, here are a few updated pics of the kiddos for those who care! LOL
