I NEED to do it. I'm eating good and losing about a lb a week, but if I were to exercise it would go faster! I'm not sure how to get there though, and with my crazy busy days, i'm not sure when to fit it in. I litterally come home from work and make supper then take Izze to swimming/dance or vice versa. Then when thats over its time for the kids to go to bed, then me! </div><div><br /></div><div>Why can't there be one more hour in the day? I guess it wouldnt matter, I'd use it for sleep instead :-(</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><center><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-39045957923517502342011-02-21T10:27:00.000-08:002011-02-21T10:34:14.365-08:00Uber Frustration<div>I spent the last three days watching what I eat HARD core. NO snacks, no cheats, no meals. Lots of water. I felt like I was starving myself (mentally) but felt good phsyically. I did not however work out, as time did not allow. I weigh in every morning as a way to "monitor" my previous days intakes. And every morning this weekend the scale said "WAY TO GO" and "Your doing GREAT". Then this morning came, and I was up 3 lbs? How can that happen? I can account for about 1lb possibly and I'm going to be kinda and not tell you how. But the other two...thats just frustrating. It makes you not want to continue. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm really just angry at myself. Why i let myself put that 20lbs back on between last June and this October. It would have been so much easier to MAINTAIN then to lose again. I looked damn good. I want to look damn good again. How can 20lbs make that much different, I dont know, but do you know 20lbs is almost 3-4 pants sizes?!!? THAT is gross. I want my size 6 back. Most days I'm a 10. But this weekend I had to put on a 12 (on Friday) and that is when I the moment I started to behave. I disgust myself. I know as far as others see me I'm not obese, but that doesnt make me any less disappointed in myself. I have to keep on, but when the scale makes me sad i want to EAT. :-( </div><div><br /></div><div>Please lord jesus, give me the strength. I want and need to love myself like i did last year. I promise never to give in to the eggs again! (Jesus, lets be clear here, I will eat them, i just wont eat 12 a day). Thank you Jesus. </div><div><br /></div><center><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-49964584012276299912011-02-20T10:13:00.001-08:002011-02-20T10:14:27.856-08:00Zumba<center>Today I am going to try Zumba.</center><center><br /></center><center>Oh wait.

WHEW. That one was the hardest of the three, even though its the same, I think because I ate junk and pop today. That will teach me. I like that my body is figuring out how to show me what it doesn't like. </div><div><br /></div><div>I've been watching an episode of Law and Order Criminal Intent Season 1 with each run. Its great timing. I turn on the episode with my netflix streaming, I get my shoes on, plug in the treadmill, warm up, run, cool down. Sit down take off shoes, unplug everything, and then it ends. This works for me. I shoulda started it the first day, so I was episode for work out. But instead I'm done with episode 4 (and workout 6). Maybe this weekend I'll watch two episodes to catch myself up. That would be a lot easier to remember. </div><div><br /></div><div>Yes I AM a dork. </div><center><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-68802775067930341562011-01-19T15:48:00.000-08:002011-01-19T15:51:21.177-08:00Slim Down Challenge<center>2 weeks ago today I convinced a few of my coworkers and a freind to join the Slim Down Challenge with me. You need a team of four. You weigh in on January 5th and bi-weekly you send your weights to the captain (me) for them to send in. The results are posted in the paper. The final weigh in is live on March 16th. </center><center><br /></center><center>My team started off as the SMALLEST team to start with. Combined we weighed 614.2lbs. </center><center>Did I mention they publish that in the paper? And our results each week. At first being the smallest team worried me. But we lost 10lbs! I think thats pretty dang good.</center><center><br /></center><center>So watch for the Divine Diva's in the paper.

Thank you Netflix. </center><center><br /></center><center>So on Monday, I am to start week 2! Kev's gone this week; so it will be tricky to get in all of my runs, but hopefully I can do it :-) I think my new floors are just asking for Izze and I to play Just Dance 2!

I think thats the point, though its not always how MY body knows. Anyone who knows me knows I'm NOT an athlete. I remember in grade school walking the mile. I remember in middle school "cardinals" would kill me during Volleyball (those are the nasty sprints from one end of the gym to the first line and back; to the next line and back; and so on and so on until you go the full length and that counts as ONE cardinal). And in HS I gave up sports that involved running; cheerleading and golf it was.</center><center><br /></center><center>So yes, I'm not an athlete in the least. </center><center><br /></center><center>This is without even mentioning that I have one leg that is shorter then the other; so I run like a freak. </center><center><br /></center><center>But it was easy(er) so thats good news!</center><center><br /></center><center><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-79485079775707156572011-01-10T13:18:00.001-08:002011-01-10T13:18:56.366-08:00Dear Lord,<center><br /></center><center>My thighs hurt. </center><center><br /></center><center>Amen.</center><center><br /></center><center><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-7544631167827978082011-01-09T12:05:00.001-08:002011-01-09T12:09:40.235-08:00C25k...<center style="text-align: left;">...take two.

I got through all my run/walks (20 minutes) and before my cool down decided to see how long I could sprint. I lasted a whole 20 seconds before I though I'd fall off.

I was down to 128lbs. My lowest since high school. I looked good, though I didn't really think so at the time. But now lookign back. Yep, I did.<br /><center><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWpQzXfJ1jLoRsEMJjttOTBRbUSnk2F21HEdU_WgCYYTmObNHV_tS4-ujuVsyuUz_WzhIDkqmT9Yx9CAcC3N-uza8Lg9_7HERgoqWQogY8ZwPwxFK4B7VTtSvdufFUyllY-09eAVr8MQ6r/s400/21059_312929122628_675797628_5048455_615150_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557671560875880866" /></center><center>I'll never bee a stick girl; I'm a curvy girl; but at least they were proportioned. </center><center><br /></center><center>SO why did I let myself get away from that you ask. Why did I put back on 15-20 lbs (depending on the day). Well....</center><center><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 103px; height: 78px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipKQx3JiWe85xd78biTrsy6ayJBVo7CLS_yzTa1Yz7oC0sqPKCLM3fAmkXJlsOMDAtbZ3m4ZMsVQAhOpF9Y2DUp8Uplmc0mb_ikE1P-m3EPueraDFVGeGGVcOWAstRD0yHC_XXgnsTTYr1/s400/Unknown.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557671668623813058" /></center><center>Yep basically these things are my kryptonite. Which is MIGHTY funny if you know that I do not even like chocolate, nor am I fan of peanut butter, heck, I don't even like Reeses peanut butter cups. But take those cups and turn them into an egg and I'm a GONER. </center><center><br /></center><center>My body, or perhaps a divine intervention; decided enough was enough. And when pumpkin season came around, my body rejected them. I think I overdosed on eggs last spring. Now when I eat them; I get ill within an hour. Some days its still worth it...to have ONE. But never again will I sit down and eat the bag....WHEW. </center><center><br /></center><center>SO now its time to get rid of this pesky extra weight. I want to wear my skinny clothes again. So its back to watching what I eat and WORKING OUT. I hate working out. We know this. But I dont mind running on a treadmill. So its Kevs job to get me one. He's been supposedly working on this since September. Seriously. Speed it up buddy. Because now I have not one but TWO deadlines. </center><center><br /></center><center>As of Wednesday; I'm joining the slim down contest in Fbo where they post your loss in the PAPER! I have until March 16th to lose as much as I can to win prizes. I have a team depending on me! </center><center><br /></center><center>My second deadline is June 18th. Yes my anniversary. But also B and Matts wedding. I ordered a size 8 which fit at about 12+lbs over goal weight. But not 1t 15-20+. I'd rather be under; after all I know a damn good seamstress who can make ANYTHING smaller; but bigger....not so much. Besides; that will be summer; and I have all sorts of super CUTE size 6 clothes in my closet that are begging me to wear them again. Don't worry clothes (and summer) I'm coming! I'm coming!</center><center><br /></center><center><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></center><center><br /></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-26951216345440519392010-08-10T18:58:00.000-07:002010-08-10T19:01:05.661-07:00Summer Slacking<center>Well I've spent the summer slacking. Yo-Yoing in a 10lb range. Anywerhe frmo 10-20lbs above the goal weight I reached....BOO HISS.<br /><br />I joined a weight loss challenge 4 weeks ago, and I have 8 more weeks to go. I have lost 3lbs of that. Seriously?! Thats not my best effort and I know it. I put on a pair of PJs that used to hang loose and they are tight. FRUSTRATING. While I wish I could say my clothes shrunk, I dont think thats the problem.<br /><br />So I have 8 weeks to get going. I need to AT LEAST give my best effort. I hate lacking in motivation; I hate that my body is going back to where it was; I dont want to be a yo-yo dieter. I was doing fine "maintaining" until summer it and I got toooo mcuh time on my hands. Hopefully when work starts up that wont be an option. <br /><br />Sigh.

I've done well (by well I mean I stopped gaining weight, lol and started to exercise occasionally). <br /><br />So on Monday, its back to the diet and back to the daily activity.<br /><br />I have to say, I'm starting to think I'm MEANT to be 140. Thats where I plateaued after Izze (before Caden) and thats where I plateaued last summer for about 6 months and thats where my body went right back to when I stopped being diligent.<br /><br />I'm okay with that. However, I promised to be in the best shape of my life at 30. And while that is decent shape for me (my college weight) its not my best. So back at it I go.....and hopefully I can reach my goal....<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wxZguu4/"><img src="http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/t/wxZguu4/weight.png" border="0" /></a></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-33798024985107541812010-03-16T14:43:00.000-07:002010-03-16T14:44:35.638-07:00Diet Bandwagon<center>Getting back on this is HARD. I hate to eat healthy. I wish I liked it. I've been outta control with my eating thanks to Easter Candy. Today I've stayed on track and its almost supper time. My head HURTS because its the first day in 3 weeks, I have yet to have sugar. I'm trying to push through, but boy is it HARD!<br /><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wxZguu4/"><br /><img src="http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/t/wxZguu4/weight.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-46368975939250172872010-03-04T15:54:00.000-08:002010-03-04T16:00:14.101-08:00Peeeuww...musta been the dog!<center>Its Beautiful here in MN. There is mud everywhere. Slush galore. Wet stinky dogs. But the sun is shining and its 40 degrees. That DEFINITELY called for some grilling.<br /><br />So I made some FABULOUS burgers. And what good is a burger without baked beans...NO GOOD. So there you have it.<br /><br />WHY am I sharing this. Well, if you know me you may also know that I once choose to fail a gymnastics class in college because bending and exercising really made my IBS issues come to the surface. Gas and frequent bathroom trips make for an awkward 60 minutes of exercise at times. Your sooo welcome that I shared that. Lucky for me, it has improved greatly over the years but high fiver items such as beans, well that does NOT keep it on track.<br /><br />So for the sake of the other 15 people in the circuit class, I sacrificed myself and stayed home for a video. My family is used to the smell....those poor people are not. And at home, I can blame the dog!<br /><br /><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wxZguu4/"><br /><img src="http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/t/wxZguu4/weight.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-52818522444941182922010-03-04T10:29:00.000-08:002010-03-04T10:32:50.939-08:00Shin Splints<center>YEOWWWCH!<br /><br />I didn't start the C25k yesterday. I had shin splints from Tuesday's mile!!!!<br /><br />They hurt, so yesterday I rested. <br /><br />Today I wont start either, but I DO plan to go to the gym and do a circut class. Now that I typed that I better actually go!<br /><br /><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wxZguu4/"><br /><img src="http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/t/wxZguu4/weight.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-22169674854194512572010-03-02T14:23:00.000-08:002010-03-02T14:25:52.180-08:00Couch to 5k repeat<center>Well, its almost 5k season. I was asked to do one that is 6 weeks away. I don't think I'll be able to due to a schedule conflict, but that means its at least time to start getting back into the running game. So I'm gonna start on week 2 or 3. I was going to start today, but decided to just start with a timed mile (I was short on time today). I pulled out a 12:25 mile, which is not my best, but not my worst either. And at least I hit the gym (I went a whole wopping 3 times in Febuary).<br /><br />So lets see if I can get back into this!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wxZguu4/"><br /><img src="http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/t/wxZguu4/weight.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-11504581990933578942010-02-18T17:22:00.001-08:002010-02-18T17:26:08.296-08:00I'm a pepper...<center>Well, I decided that weight was put on by my reintroducing carbonated beverages to my life. I only had one case, but it went fast, and I was hooked fast. I had gas galore and I was bloated. Since I ran out of Diet Dr. Pepper, I went through caffeine withdraws first. Thats funny because when I started to drink them, I got headaches from introducing the caffeine. Then when I stopped I got headaches from quitting it. SO I quickly remembered why I avoid it. Next, the weight has dropped 2lbs a day with minimal exercise and minimal working out. But now I'm suffering from sugar detox. I'm craving it like no other......what I wouldn't give right now for a Diet Dr. Pepper (but caffeine free please)<br /><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wxZguu4/"><br /><img src="http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/t/wxZguu4/weight.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-72489218246238652222010-02-16T10:24:00.000-08:002010-02-16T10:27:51.278-08:00Fat Tuesday<center>Happy Fat Tuesday!<br /><br />I felt the need to celebrate and over the last few weeks have eaten enough to feed a small orphanage for a year. Thus resulting in my pants hardly fitting.<br /><br />Tomorrow starts Lent. Originally a time for fasting. Now we try to encourage students to do good deeds during the season (as opposed to the traditional "giving something up"). For me, I'll go with the fasting....and my good deed will be to go to the gym. After all, they need business in this tough economy. And after I've done that I will work on not bitching and moaning about it to my husband who will appreciate a happy wife as opposed to an angry one.<br /><br />I feel this is above and beyond my calling.....but I'm a giver.<br /><br /><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wxZguu4/"><br /><img src="http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/t/wxZguu4/weight.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-38072605360000258782010-02-15T07:22:00.000-08:002010-02-15T07:27:08.196-08:00Devine Interventions<center>Yesterday, I FORCED myself to the gym. After a good cry and stalling.<br /><br />I got there and jumped on the elliptical. I had read an article that said, high intensity for a shorter amount of time is better then a long time at moderate intensity. So I decided to"up the resistance" and go for 10-15 minutes. Figured anything is better then what I've been doing for the past 3 weeks.<br /><br />So coming upon minute 13 and who walks up but my trainer. Who I am no longer seeing because she costs an arm and a leg, but I really wish I could. I think 'uh oh" she can SENSE I havent worked out in over 21 days. She tells me they are having kickboxing in an 5 minutes and tells me I'll love it. I can't think of an excuse fast enough so I said I'd join.<br /><br />It turned out to be a GREAT hour long work out (I even stayed for the extra 10 minutes of ab work). I felt very proud afterward. She asked me if I liked it and I said I did, then I confessed. She laughed at me, and said she was glad I was back and that she could hold me accountable.<br /><br />That was just what I needed....now if only I could afford to see her once a week and let her hold me accountable!<br /><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wxZguu4/"><br /><img src="http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/t/wxZguu4/weight.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111612040250669435.post-29657416672535359882010-02-14T06:43:00.000-08:002010-02-14T06:46:05.888-08:00Motivation is lacking again<center>I gained about 5 lbs since getting back from Jamaica. I'm not very happy about that. BUT I haven't been to the gym since before we went (its been over 3 weeks at least). <br /><br />I really need to go to the gym and work out but the idea depresses me. I HATE it. I HATE working out. I try to tell myself I'll feel better afterward, but I just can not convince myself, and I'm not sure what to do about this rut. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/?action=view&current=cecile.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/cecilemarie24/cecile.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wxZguu4/"><br /><img src="http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/t/wxZguu4/weight.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></center>DokkestulDiscussionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408095589135602837noreply@blogger.com0
