Wow, How time flies??

Hello blog, yes it's been a minute. Well it's been a long minute. I haven't blogged since March, really? Yes really. Well here I am after LAT, after the big birthday, after the vacation, after the 30 lbs weight lost. Back to trying to re-adjust. I have had a great, fantastic summer.

We didn't make it to Greece but I went to Cancun, Mexico with Gayle and Karla and we had a blast. We started laughing at the airport leaving and didn't stop until we got back home. I had way too many tequilla shots, got really tan and felt really good about myself and the trip and us and my birthday and turning the big 50. It was all good. I realized, we realized that it took too long for us to do this and we need to do it again and often. Big fun, if I can figure it out, I'm going to upload some pics.

What else is going on .. well I have found 8 of the lbs that I lost, I really wasn't trying to find them. Oh I did this boot camp class after the LAT, (how could I have forgot about that). It was with DeAnthony and the Dynamic fitness team. Q and Derrick. Wow that was 12 weeks of torture.. kind of good torture... but torture. I/we (Gwen did it with me) was pushed beyond our limits and did things we didn't think we could do, but it was no joke. Daily bootcamp, is rough. Especially with that crew in that gym. There was not much air when it start getting hot. But I guess in all fairness, i learned a lot, I pushed myself further than what i thought was possible. I discovered I could do it and i miss it, just a little :D

I need to get back into something. I've not exercised regularly for weeks now. And it's starting to show. Where I still have my brown tan, i can see those 8 lbs showing up. That the wrong direction.
Well, I'm going to stop now and I'm going to make the promise (again) to blog more frequently.
Cya...

Down but Not Out

Yes, you see how good I did with that blogging regularly, not very huh? Well I have been a little busy, working out and working out and working out and working. So let's get caught up. I made it thru 2 elimination rounds on the Show Me StL Lose a Ton contest. It was really interesting and fun and frustrating. It was definitely an experience. One that got me started and motivated to do what I need to do. Lose weight. I do some form of exercise almost every day. That in itself is amazing. Well to catch up, I got eliminated last week. I lost a total of 26 lbs but I still fell in the bottom 4 of weight loss. And after asking everyone I knew and didn't know to vote to keep me on the show, I came up short. That SUCs... but thats ok. I'm disappointed but not totally discouraged. I lose the dietician, well sort of, she did say we could email and call her. But "officially" lose the trainer. Jesse agreed to let me continue with him on Saturdays and I did work out with him this past Wednesday.

So now the really bad news. I have started doing this Jorge Cruise diet, and I'm not losing weight. What is up with that? it's similar to SB which I was doing, but this has the 15/6 for S/C but I'm not losing. Actually I've gained again. I'm up about 4 lbs. I'm suppose to be going for the at home winner, and guess what. I had pizza today...UGGGGGG after I worked out 3x's this past Saturday, Kickboxing, strength and walking the park with Karla. Body Pump and treadmill on Monday, 2 hours and KBing on Tuesday, and strength and dynamic class on Wednesday. Here I am Thursday, no work out and eating a pizza.... what is up. Something is wrong but I can't figure it out. Ok I'm going back to doing the right thing, but I can't seem to figure out what that is. Gayle's in town. Seeing about her mom. I hope to see her and I pray Aunt Mary will be out of the hospital soon. Well this was a discombobulated blog, trying to get things in. But I'll be back soon. I know I said that before :)

Happy Skinny New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!! Ok I know it's February 6th and yes I've been talking about blogging since the beginning of the year. And it's not like there's been nothing happening. Quite the contrary... things are jumping off (as they say... who are they? you know I can have an entire conversation by myself), Ok I digress. Anyway now that I've gotten back to Blogging... I promise to try :)) to do it more frequently.

I'll have to share with you all the funny stories associated with me being on the KSDK Show Me St Louis, Lose a Ton contest. It has been quite the experience. Be careful what you ask for, God has a sense of humor. I've said for forever I wanted to lose weight. So I sign up for this contest... kind of 1/2 hoping I'll be picked and 1/2 hoping... absolutely not. I don't want my big fat butt on television. I can only blame 20 of those pounds on "Television adds 20 lbs to the way you look". The rest is all me.

But yes you guessed it, I was chosen. And really it is a blessing. It is...really. Now I'm not real familiar with blogging etiquette. But they aren't suppose to be real long are they? Ok so I'll share some of the stories of the Lose A Ton (LAT) contest with you in the next entry. Gotta go work-out... again.
