The results are in..... Im down almost 10 pounds!!!!! I lost 3 inches in my waist, 1 1/2 inches in each thigh & 1/2 inch in my chest. That 6 1/2 inches total so far!! Im happy with that. I am actually starting to be able to notice a small change in my body. I havent dropped a size or anything but my clothes are starting to fit just a little bit looser. (yeah!) The only thing that sucks is that there is a 6 pound difference from what the paper says and what I weighed in with Sharon. If we go by what I weighted in with Sharon I lost 9 point something pounds. ccording to the paper I only lost like 4 (Boo!) But whatever..... The other contestants are coming strong right now but Im going to surprise everyone with big numbers later in the competition. Let them think Im the slacker.... I will show them! ha ha ha :) I ordered Power 90. I just got it this morning so Im going to try it out tonight. Im excited about it. My plan is to do the P90 in the early morning before work. Then I will continue my training with Sharon & still do my homework on days that I dont train with Sharon. Its go time now!!!! Now that I saw what the others are dropping its time to step it up a notch! I know I should really be focused on the other people but Im a really competitive person and I want to win!!! Im still struggling with my damn calves but they seem to be getting better so hopefully sooon I will be back running on the treadmill.
SO this week has been good so far. I had a relly good session with Sharon on Monday. She made me do these things called bridges..... holy crap is all I can say! I knew they were going to be hard when she told me they were her favorite. What you do is lay on your back, prop your feet up on say your couch or stairs and lift your butt up as high as you can and squeeze your cheeks together. It sound easy but after a minute of them you feel like your butt has a match to its cause its on fire! Hard! Hard! Hard! Thats my new homework :) (I love you Sharon!)
Also this week I have been craving PIZZA! I want it so bad. Its the only thing I want to eat. And I have been haunted by it. 1st Tom kept talking about how he was making his home made pizza Sunday and how it was going to be so good. I told him I wasnt staying at his house on Sunday cause of it. (His pizza is really good) That little shit.... hes lucky I love him so much! Then Yesterday I had to go to the dollar store and the people working there were talking about ordering it for lunch. SO then I got home last night from my workout and my Mom has a pizza in the oven! Whats going on here.... Its pizza everywhere!
I still need to find time to cook and stuff. I was kind of hoping this challenge made me cook but I dont have time. I thought it was going to get better but it hasnt yet. The good things is that I tacklled my room (Finally) I got my laundry done, I got everything organized so that will save up some time. I bought the fix it and forget it lightly cookbook & the biggest loser cookbook. There actually things in there that I want to make its just getting the time to do it.
so my homework is:
Cardio cardio cardio 45 - 50 minutes
Mason twists 2 sets 30 reps
Double crunches 2 sets 50 reps
plank hold 2 sets 30 secs
Bridges of couch 3 minutes (ouch!!! I can feel the burn already!)
Step kicks 1 minute
and last but not least start the Power 90!
We will see how it goes tonight... hopefully I will be able to update tomorrow! stay tuned!

Finally a new post!!!!
Hello! Hello! Hello!!! Im so sorry to everyone thats following my blog. I have not been able to update this. Our computer is STILL at Best Buy. Im not really sure why it takes this long but.....
On to the good stuff. Last week was a really rough week for me as far as the challenge goes. I was feeling very overwhelmed, exhausted, emotional etc. I have been having some "issues" with my left calf. I dont know if its the muscles or what but they are so tight after some of the workouts I can barely walk. It is so painful. I think it was last Thursday, I cried through my entire workout. Its frusterating because I walk into the gym thinking I can do everything no matter how hard and then I do it and I dont have the ability. I want to be able to run and I was starting to do well with it and now I cant even walk on the treadmill. I have still been able to get awesome workouts in though. Sharon never lets me stop (which I love) Since I cant do the treadmill I do the bike. Theres always something else you can do.
This week has been a really good week. I had an amazing workout on Monday. I couldnt move after I left and again I woke up feeling like I needed a body casy but its all worth it. Wednesday I trained with Sharon husband (Aaron) Sharon is really sick so her hubby filled in for her. He is just as amazing as she is. They are the cutest couple!!! He had me doing some things that I didnt think were possible. Like a plank hold on a pilates ball. I could barely hold myself up. He made it seem so easy! Im not training with Sharon tonight either because she so sick (GET BETTER SHARON!) but we are going to train on Saturday instead.
Tonight & tomorrow my home work is:
Bike: Steady pace for 2 minutes and sprint for 1 minute for 30 minues
Eliptical: Steady pace for 2 minutes & sprint for 1 minutes for 30 minutes (if I cant do the eliptical because of my calf them do the bike for 1 hour)
Mason Twists: 2 sets - 30 reps each side
Double Crunches: 2 sets - 50 reps
Plank Hold: 2 sets - 30 secs each
Up Downs w/ step outs for 1 minute - 2 sets
Forward step outs for 1 minute - 2 sets
As far as eating goes: again I eat pretty much the same things everyday I just eat them at different times. I was told last night however that I need to be eating more protein and I usually stop eating at around 5 - 6:30pm and I guess thats too early. Mark (whos one of the trainers & nutrionist) told me he wants me drinking 2 protein shakes a day. 1 in the morning and 1 after workouts. So thats what I have been doing. I also started taking a multi vitamin. They make me feel sick but I try to eat one of my snacks once I feel sick and it helps it to go away.
I will get weighed & measured on Saturday when I meet with Sharon. Im so nervous! Of course I want to be down like 10 pounds & 10 inches! I will be very upset if I dont have a good weight loss so far. I have been busting my butt and following everything so well. I know its takes time I just want to know that what Im doing is starting to pay off you know? I know for me, its more motivitating for me to continue when I see the scale moving.
Did you see the video on DailyHerald.com? It wasnt that bad. I thought it would be way worse. Thankfully the footage of me running is in a distance and you cant really see my body flopping all over the place.
Oh and if you are reading this or following this, can you sign up to be a follower??? I keep hearing all these people that ready this but I cant see it unless you sign up as a follower. Its very motiving for me to know how many people are actually reading this and supporting me! I get so excited and I of course dont want to let everyone down so please keep all your support coming! I appreciate it so much!!! You are all helping me succeed & I cant think you all enough.
Talk to you later!!!!!!

Not the usual Happy me :(
Today Im feeling very overwhelmed, bummed, sad etc. I just want to cry. Its one of those days. I think everything is cathcing up with me a reality is setting in and Im not really sure what to do. I feel like I have no time for anything. I havent been able to do any laundry in like a week and a half, I dont have time to cook, I barely have time to play with Taylor or just be with her and its all just really bumming me out. I wake up at around 6, get ready for work, wake up Taylor, get her ready for school, drop her off at school, rush to work to get there on time, leave work, pick up Taylor from Daycare, get home fix her something to eat that doesnt require cooking, go to the gym to train, get home, spend 1/2 hour with Taylor before she has to go to bed and by that time its 9 at night and Im so exhausted and my body aches so bad that all I want to do is lay down and go to bed myself.
Tonight my family is all going out to eat to celebrate that my brother is home safely from Iraq (THANK GOD!) and I just feel really left out. Not at all anything that my family has done. They are going to be celebrating and eating pizza & drinking beer and Im going to at the gym training and then once I get there I will be watching them.
I think everything is just kind of crashing down on me and Im realizing this is going to be harder than I thought so again, Im just over whelmed. But I will get through it. I have a great support system thats cheerling me on so I know I can do it.
Actually I cant wait to see Sharon tonight cause she always help me & makes me confident that I can do this so Im looking forward to her pep talk :) I seriously owe her my life!!! She makes me believe in myself so much.
so enough about my sorrows let talking about the good stuff! I oficially made it in the Daily Herald on Mondy. It wasnt as bad as I though but it said "Single Mom suffering from Depression!" ha ha ha ha ha. I find that so funny. DOnt get me wrong I am sad about my weight but I dont find myself suffering fom depression. Oh well. Everyone that knows me knows Im not depressed and its really only you guys that I care about. I think the video is going to be posted on the dailyherald.com on Monday.
As far as my eating goes: I have been pretty much sticking to the same thing everyday. Im pretty plain. Plus its really easy to pack up for work and stuff. I just bought the Fix It & Forget It Lightly cookbook. Hopefully there are good reciepes that I can set and have ready by the time I get off of work.
Tom is excited about this me needing to cook situation..... We went to Trader Joes on Sunday and his plan is that I will buy the healthy organic groceries and cook for him. Which actually I dont really mind. They say the way to a mans heart is through his stomach!!!! ha ha ha He's so good to me, he deserves it!!!
as far as exercising goes here is what Sharon has me doing for homework:
push ups - 3 sets of 8
mason twists - 3 sets of 20
50 squats
50 jumping jacks
30 minutes of running
Leg stretches & quad stretches
I finally saw my competition too!!! There are 2 other girls and we are all around the same weight and height. and then 2 men that are about the same weight. One of the guys is an "ex jock" I think hes going to be my biggest competition.
Who ever wins gets a $1000 shopping spree, $200 hair & makeup makeover & a photo session. Even though losing all the weight is prize enough for me.... The shopping spree will be awesome!
More to come...............

I did it & I feel great!
I survived the 2nd grueling workout with Sharon. I dont know how I managed to do it but I feel awesome! I woke up this morning and again my body is in so much pain but I also woke up just feeling better about myself. I think its finally setting in that I am doing this for myself and it feels so good to be doing it. I LOVE Sharon!!! She is amazing!! She really makes me feel like she is here for me to get me the best results possible. I feel so lucky to have her guiding me through this journey. Except I dont meet with her again until Monday. I wish I could train with her everyday. Im scared that I dont have enough discipline in myself to do the things she asks of me on my own. If Im running on my own and I get tired, I will stop where if shes there she will make me keep going. I have tonight & tomorrow to workout on my own and then Sunday I have the day off (except I think I might fit in a short workout. Nothing crazy maybe just do a Walk Away the Pounds tape or something). I find myself now looking forward to our training days which is crazy cause on Wednesday I was thinking I just couldnt do this. We will see how the weekend goes.
Thursdays Meal Plan:
Breakfast: 8:30am - 2 Egg Whites, 2 slices of turkey bacon & 1/2 grapefruit
Snack: 10:30am - String cheese with a handful of almonds
Lunch: 1:00pm - Salad with Light Italian dressing, 1/2 cup cottage cheese & sunflower seeds
Snack: 4:00pm - Carrots with Hummus
Dinner: 5:45pm - Chicken with brown rice, carrots, broccoli & Cauliflower
8:30pm (After workout) Protein Shake & an orange
Whats been making it so easy for me to follow a healthy diet is to plan the day ahead of what I am going to eat. I write down everything in my journal and then in the morning I only eat what I have set for myself to eat.
Oh and by the way: for those of you that have also started a healthier you........ GOOD LUCK!!!! I have now realized that when you really want something so bad.... You CAN do it! Its hard to get off the ground but once you do....its yours! I hope as you read these it will help you along your journey too!!!

I survived..... barely!!!!
OH MY WORD!!!!! I got my ass kicked last night like nobodys business. I almost fainted twice and came close to throwing up at the end of the workout. It was an hour and half of pure hell. There came a point that I thought I just couldnt do it. It was very overwhelming and emotional for me last night. I never realized how out of shape I have let myself become. Its not just my weight but everything. My heart rate kept going super high after only a few minutes of training. How could I let myself get to this point? I was very disappointed in myself but then I thought..... this is why I want this and need this so bad. Im only 28 years old. Theres no reason for me to be like this. I want this now more than ever.
So, while I was struggling through this crazy hard workout.... the Daily Herald was there taking pictures & video taping my entire workout!!!!!! It was soooooooooo embarrassing! There was one point where I can feel my pants up my butt and then Sharon (my trainer) is telling me to squeeze my cheeks together.... Mr Daily Herald man has it all on tape!!! Im anxious to see what all they are going to show. This might be very entertaining for all of you! Mortifying for me but entertaining for you.
Anyway... I managed to get through it and woke up this morning and feel like I need a body cast. I have no idea how Im going to go through another grueling training session tonight. I just keep thinking "It will get better!"
Here is how my workout schedule will go:
Monday: Trainer

I met my trainer: Sharon "the Bully"
I met my trainer last night!!! She is amazing!!!! Im very excited to have her as my trainer. They call her "the bully" She doesnt mess around!!! Shes this tiny little adorable thing that is going to whoop my ass! All she kept saying last night is "we are going to win!" She likes to swear too which I love!!! The facility is a private studio so there will rarely be other people there with me when Im training. I love that! She told me if I have to yell, swear cry whatever it takes for me to not give up while we are training then do it. She told me I can no longer eat ANY candy! Yikes!!!! Thats going to be very difficult for me.
I didnt do a full workout last night. It was more a fitness assessment for her to know where I am at. I had to do as many "real" sit ups as I could in 2 minutes. As many push ups as I could and a 1 mile walk/run. Then she took all my measurements. My left arm is 1 inch bigger than my right!! She asked me if there was 1 specific part of my body I want to work on she I said no....just my entire body needs to shrink!
I was so nervous but now Im just so excited & pumped to do this! Its a little overwhelming but I think thats to be expected. I didnt take my before picture yet. Im not sure when they are going to do that.
My 1st real workout is tomorrow, Feb 4th!!! Let the competition begin!!!!

Today is the 1st day of my journey....my new healty life!!! I woke up with a huge knot in my stomach today and keep thinking "What have I gotten myself into!" Im so nervous!!!!! I think Im more nervous about having to take my before picture. Its going to be so embarrassing but I think it will hit home once I see my dimply, rolly polly body posted in the newspaper for everyone to see. I meet with my trainer for the 1st time tonight @ 7:30pm.
My 1st health tip I learned: Drink an 8oz glass of water 1st thing in the morning. Before you brush your teeth, pee etc. The water wakes up your body and gets your metablolism running right away!
I hope everyone will follow this 12 week journey with me! Hopefully through my weight loss experience, I can help others to live a healthier skinnier life too!!!
Talk to you all later!!! (If my fingers arent too sore to type! ha ha ha!)

My journey is about to begin.... Yikes!
Its the night before my 1st day of training and I dont even know what to think to be honest. I am so excited but so nervous as well. Im about to get my ass kicked!!! I spoke with my trainer for the 1st time and I am beyond excited that I have her as my trainer. I think this time I am just so excited about this weight loss journey that I know I will do my very best. Not to mention its going to be published in the Daily Herald for everyone to see!!! Tomorrow I have to take my before pictures....That is going to be scary!!!! But it will be the last time you see me looking like that. Im really excited & I have the best family & friend that are supporting me in this. I want this so bad and I know everyone wants it for me as well.
