AP Days 17-19: Took a break

I didn't get nearly enough sleep this weekend. Friday night, our baby girl was miserable and crying of and on throughout the night, so needless to say, I didn't hear my alarm to get up to exercise. I also took my regular rest day on Sunday, so I had a nice break. I woke up bright and early this morning. Okay, maybe not so bright. To tell you the truth, my eyes are stinging and I feel as though I'm going to hurl. But, I know, once I start working out, that will all go away. I need to press on. I need to pray for the strength to press on. Now down to business! On the plus side, I got down to 144.8! Woooohooo!

Accountability Post Day 16

I'm starting to get tired of the name of this post. BOR-ING! How about "AP Day 16: Title goes here." Yes. I like that better. I will use that format tomorrow. :) Well, as far as the workout goes, I am really enjoying the cardio. I'm doing interval training with short bursts of kick-my-backside levels of energy used. 45 second "level-7-can't-finish-sentences" intervals with 90 second "Phew!- I'm-still-alive-and-going!-Can't-wait-for-the-next-45-second-interval!" intervals. This workout is really invigorating. I have never sweat so much and you can use it will any form of cardio exercise. I am using it on the elliptical and I am no longer bored with my work-out!

I know I've mentioned this before, but I'm going to mention it again...water is so important. Our bodies need a lot of it, especially if you work out and live in a dry climate. I need more than 100 ounces a day, and sometimes I just don't drink THAT much water. The last few days, though, I have been chugging it down. There is such a difference in the way I feel throughout the day, especially in the later afternoon. I don't feel the need to snack. I also don't feel the lack of energy---the afternoon slump----that I usually do.

Accountability Post: Days 11 and 12

I took a day of "rest" as indicated by the workout in the Fitness Magazine, so I didn't get up really early and I didn't post!

This week I hope to loose at least one pound. I mean, come on...I'm doing everything I could to loose! I don't have much time to post because I need to get my workout in before the kids wake up!

Accountability Post: Day 10

The scale still isn't budging. You may be saying, "Well, its only been 10 days!" But, that isn't true. I've been doing almost everything you can to loose weight for well over a month now. I suppose my exercise is more consistent now and my calories are being counted more often. I've gone organic with a lot of fruits and veggies and most meat, and all dairy. I drink the water I should on most days. I don't eat processed foods. I choose healthy food and healthy portions. So, here's the deal: If I am doing everything I can to loose weight and the scale still won't budge, all I can do is keep on doing what I'm doing, with the hopes that this weight loss will kick in soon!
