Well we had a horrible winter storm last night into today. The base was closed down so I didn't have to work. I cleaned my house all day long, and caught up on laundry. Fun stuff! I completed my creative project for my class on Tuesday night. I'm glad to have that over. Just a little update!

Day 13 of 84

This week has been thrown all out of whack! Update...

Day 9 - fell asleep as soon as I got home from work. Didn't do cardio.
Day 10 - got outta work, hubby wanted to run all sorts of errands and clean the house for guests the next day, and we had to go grocery shopping. Let other things get in the way of my upper body workout. Then hubby & I got in a little bit of a spat and I ate some cinnamon rolls.
Day 11 - Had my plan all mapped out for Thanksgiving but timing got all messed up so I made this day my free day! Also didn't get up in time to run so that went to heck as well.
Day 12 - Didn't plan this day. Was supposed to get back into my eating plan but I didn't write anything down and I couldn't remember what I had eaten. Didn't do lbwo either. Hubby's family was in town and we just visited the whole time. Should have at least taken an hour out of that time and did my workout!!
Day 13 TODAY! - Planned, didn't eat completely clean today but at least I attempted this time. I didn't do cardio today but I did do yesterday's lbwo. Plan on doing today's cardio tomorrow. I don't have time to complete my workout at the gym before going to work (due to gym hours) so I am planning on doing Tae-bo instead!

Okay... So you can see why I say that this week has been thrown out of whack! One of my goals for today is to go back and read my goals for the 12 weeks. I need to keep my motivation in the front of my mind that way I don't ever have a repeat of this week!!

Day 8 of 84

You know?!?!... I think I'm good to go this time. There have been many times that I have attempted and re-attempted to do the bfl but never got past day 2 or 3. I successfully completed a challenge about 3 years ago and I had GREAT results but for some reason could never get started again. I am on DAY 8!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of myself. And I am pushing through.

Day 6 of 84

Things are still going well. I actually accomplished FOUR of my five goals today! :-) The only one I missed was getting up at 0830. It's SO nice to sleep in so I did! I didn't get up until 1100!

I went to they gym after the UofM/OSU game. I had some friends over for the game. I made the EFL sloppy joes. They are SO good. And they went over VERY well. Good stuff.

Well that's it for now! Have a great weekend... Well what's left it anyway!!

Correction to my last blog, a few minutes ago, I have did not go the gym for my HIIT (from yesterday). Got a super bad stomach ache!

Day 5 of 84

Today was so kick-butt! Started my day off with some cardio. Did 40 minutes on the treadmill: incline of 5, warmed up for 5 mins, ran for 15, walked for 4, ran for 7, cooled down for 9. Then I did another 10 minutes on the bike. I felt so good ALL day long!! I am very proud of myself.

Just got done with my upper body workout. I don't think I've sweated this much before while doing an upper body workout! I also danced between my reps. Couldn't help it!... The music was in me. :-)

Now I am leaving to go to the gym to get my HIIT session in from yesterday. Didn't make it to the gym b/c we had some unexpected guests.

Had a very successful day with goals!
1. Get up at 0600. SUCCESS!
2. Do kick-butt cardio. 40 mins on treadmill & 20 HIIT (from yesterday). SUCCESS!!
3. Take vitamins. SUCCESS!
4. Stick to meal plan! Sort of (stayed under calorie limit but wasn't EXACTLY according to plan)
5. Believe in self. Review goals! (meaning 12-week goals) SUCCESS!

Day 3 of 84

Thanks for the post Katie! Makes me feel good that people are reading my blog. I know I hadn't been bloggin on a regular basis but I'm going to start...

Today's goals were:
1. Get up at 0500. Setback (again, overslept. going to concentrate on getting up for early cardio next week!)
2. I will do 30 minutes (additional) cardio. SUCCESS!!
3. I will go grocery shopping. Setback (my hubby picked some stuff up last night)
4. I will take vitamins. SUCCESS!
5. I will focus on my goals & think of them when I want to do something bad. SUCCESS!

Things are going rather well. I am feeling good! I didn't crave any bad food today. Realized it's b/c I have kept my body fueled throughout the day. As long as I am not starving, I can (and WILL) eat good!!! :-)

Day 2 of 84

Started the BFL last night. Got my Success Journal in the mail last night and went right to the gym for my upper body workout. I decided that I do not like my gym for upper body day b/c there isn't a variety of machines for upper body. But I still pushed out what I could! Then someone mentioned the female's fitness room upstairs that I had totally forgotten about. So I am going to scope it out tomorrow and see what kind of workouts I can put together! So I am excited about that! I also did extra cardio (I've decided to do cardio 6 days a week)... 30 minutes on the Arc Trainer and sweated my butt off! Good stuff!!

Goals for today:
1. Get up at 0500. Setback (actually overslept)
2. Go to the gym for kick-butt cardio! Setback (Got really bad cramps after my class tonight, just came home. Decided to switch today for Sunday's day off of cardio.)
3. Go grocery shopping. Setback (hubby and I got into a lil squabble and the last thing I want to do is go grocery shopping with him now!)
4. Take vitamins. SUCCESS!! :-)
5. Focus on goals and think of them when I want to be bad. SUCCESS!

All in all, good day but will focus on doing better with each new day that I am blessed with!

Okay, so I failed another PT test (on 31Oct06). I talked with my Section Commander today and I have 82 days to pass or I get kicked out of the Air Force. There is no way in hell that I am going to say that I got kicked out b/c I couldn't pass a fitness test!!!! This has really motivated me. The big thing that needs to happen is my waist needs to shrink! If I could measure at 33 inches then I can pass. Oh yeah, AND max out my pushups and situps. I am so close!!
