Going to Try!

I am going to try something new.

I have become a pinterest addict and there are a ton of good ideas as far as exercise goes (and a lot of other things, lol).

My problem is I don't have the control to do an extensive diet/exercise regimen.

But I found a 3 day diet plan that I think will work.

I think I can survive 3 days. And I intend on adding cardio to that as well.

I start today (after I get off my night shift at 7 am and get a couple hours of sleep).

I will try to keep you guys further updated!

My goal is to be under 200 by Christmas... I know that is a lot but I am going to see my dad and family then and I want to be smaller. Last time they saw me I had started my initial journey weigh the same now as I did then :/ 

I'm Having a Tough Time.

It is really hard for me to get motivated to get on the treadmill. I (mostly) still try to be careful what I eat but I can guarantee it isn't enough.

I think the hardest part is I work two jobs, the second being a 12 hour shift overnight 3 nights a week. If I'm not working, I'm exhausted. And to top it off, I eat a little during the night shift to stay awake.

My weight is up to 231. VERY BAD.

That means almost all of my progress is lost.

I don't know what to do

BUST!

So... Last week was a complete bust.

Monday was my birthday and I had to work and ended up not working out.
Tuesday & Wednesday I was having issues with my car and the service center at the dealership... GRR so no workout those days either...
Thursday I had to go and do an short orientation in the evening for my new job. That day was used up.
Friday was just a crazy mess.

As I said, last week was horrible.

This week??? Not looking good either.

Sunday we cleaned the church.
Monday I did my cleaning job then helped the hubby at work and didn't get home til 830.
Tuesday (today) I had to clean two houses and am currently working a 7pm-7am shift.
Wednesday I have two houses and am HOPING to get some sleep in before another 7pm-7am shift.
Thursday I have two houses (but I have help coming in) and plan to sleep until Friday...
Friday I have two houses and another 7pm-7am shift.

Oh, and every morning I take a ladies two girls to school.

Calculated out 68 hours of work Sun-Fri. Not including drive time!

LONG Day...

I have been dragging my feet all day.

But I cleaned two houses.

Followed my diet (rice krispies with a banana, healthy choice tv dinner, 2 fish fillet with shrimp, canelope).

Did the bootcamp workout...

I think that is pretty good considering I just wanted to come home and go to bed!

So as much as I wanted to walk the dogs (too dark... was waiting for the hubs to get home) I think I will pass.

Doesn't even sound like a good treadmill night. I think I need a nap!

Today's Stats

I forgot to do measurements yesterday... But my weight was 224.4 lbs. Very disappointing.

Today's Stats:

• Weight: 223.0
• Neck: 14.75 in
• Chest: 42 in
• Arms: 13.5 in
• Waist: 48 in
• Hips: 50 in
• Thighs: 26 in

I started Bob Harper's BOOTCAMP DVD yesterday. And I walked the dogs for 30 minutes...

Today I was SORE. I cleaned two houses today for a total time of 4.5 hours and the second house had STAIRS... Ugh, my thighs did not appreciate me!

But today I came home and did the DVD again. 30 minutes but it sure does work you! I was going to walk the dogs at 8 (when it is cooler) but a severe thunderstorm warning came on so I decided I would do treadmill after my husband went to bed... It didn't rain.

Still did the treadmill though! 30 minutes flew by because I was reading a book while walking.

And now my thighs are KILLING me. And my butt. I am sure I will be SUPER sore tomorrow!!!

And the kicker too... I ate my dinner in anticipation of the walk (i.e.: I ate a salad, yogurt with granola, and single serve mac'n'cheese) post DVD workout. So I felt guilty and that I HAD to walk somehow to burn off all that food!
