Hello world!
I weighed myself this morning (no clothes & after the potty) and I weighed 115.8!!! I'm saying it's 116. Still...this is great!
I've been working out religiously (except for the last 3 days). Tonight I did the Firm Total Muscle Shaping with Stephanie. She kicks my arms in to shape!!! I'm still shaking from muscle fatigue! It's a GREAT feeling!
I'm starting to see the difference in my body now too! My calves are muscling up again. Now, if my thighs can just take the inches off!
Measurements 01/26 (Kelly's Birthday!)
Weight: 116 (118.6)
Waist: 28.5 (29)
Bootie: 36.75 (37)
Hips: 34.25 (34.75)
Thigh: 22 (22.5)
Arm: 9.75 (9.75)...ok with this because the muscle is REALLY building!
So a total loss of 2.6 lbs and 1.75 inches in 10 days! Not bad!!! It's really starting to pay off and show! My eating habits are soooooo much better also!
If you are reading this...weight watchers and the FIRM REALLY work! It IS tough to start off...but once you stick to it for about 3 week...its easy and it does NOT feel like a diet or like HARD work. It feels GREAT! I have so much more energy and I am so much more happy at home AND work (Now...happy at work with 130 7th & 8th graders...WOW!)

New Measurements
Well...I was going to wait until I did my 10th Firm workout...but I got sick...I'm home & figured I'd measure today since I did do 9 workouts.
(in parenthesis is what I was last time)
Weight: 118.6 (119.8)
Waist: 29 (30.5)
Bootie: 37 (38)
Hips: 34.75 (35)
Thigh: 22.5 (22.75)
Arm: 9.75 (10.12)
Total loss of about 3.25 inches & 1 pound. Not bad considering I don't have too much to lose! I have a feeling the pounds will be coming off very soon. Once I get better...I'm going to make sure I'm not over doing it on the workouts. I was working out even when I felt sick...but that probably helped me to get really sick.
Yay! I'm glad I measured...I thought I was doing bad!!

Doing good...kind of
I was doing so great on the weight loss thing...THEN I got sick.
Cole had the stomach virus & I caught it from him. Since Sunday I've been too weak to workout. I may try today.
Yesterday I had a victory though. A student of mine asked if I like fudge. Of course I answered, YES! She handed me on the spot, about a pound or more of fudge (late christmas present). I ate four pieces and then...I broke my own heart. I threw the rest in the trash. I knew it would hurt my tummy & stall everything good I was doing. BUT...I feel much better about it today!!

Road to weightloss begins!
Hello! I did my first workout today...the Firm "Complete Body Shaping" with Christa. My favorite! I have the entire month of January booked for workouts and have marked where the 10th is to see how much I lose by then. (January 15th). I'm going to post my stats & my weight goal.
Weight: 119.8
Goal Weight: 112
Waist: 30.5
Bootie: 38
Thigh: 22.75
Arm: 10.12
(I'm all around bigger than I was 2 months after I had Cole...EEK...MOTIVATION)
If you want to join me & want me to post your stats...let me know! There's no better motivation than knowing other people will see your stats! I will re-post the inches on January 15th. I figure I'll put my new weight every Thursday...that's weight watchers day! I CANNOT go higher than 120 or I will have to start paying! (118 was my lifetime weight).
Before you go judging me...saying I'm at a great weight...I'll explain my reasons!
I was actually down to below 109 while I was prego. I was in GREAT shape. Now my muscles are not visible beneath a layer of fat. Basically I've traded muscle for fat. If I weighed 120 & was fit...I'd be fine...but I'm not fit at all. So...THERE! hehe
Here's my workout rotation this week:
Sunday: Complete Body Shaping
Monday: Fat Blasting Cardio
Tuesday: Rest
Wednesday: Total Muscle Shaping
Thursay: Jiggle Free Abs
Friday: Rest
Saturday: Fat Blasting Cardio
Weight: 119.8
Goal Weight: 112
Waist: 30.5
Bootie: 38
Thigh: 22.75
Arm: 10.12

Christmas
It's come & gone...amazing! We had such an amazing time as a family this year! It is so hard to stay focused on the real reason for Christmas with a little one! But...nobody can afford NOT to remember the reason. As we sat in church Christmas Eve...I listened to the Christmas Gospel reading & tried to imagine what it must have been like to be Mary. To hold your little child & know that he was God's child...literally! To know that she only had a short time with him...that his purpose was an almighty purpose. Wow... and to think that Jesus was a little baby full of wonder & adventure just like Cole. I love to see the Holy Family as the "regular" people they were...not "royalty".
Well...Cole got sooo many presents. From us he got a wagon, tricycle & other small things. He got a truck, police car & bath toys from Grandma & Grandpa. Mimi & Papa got him a ton of clothes, a cute chair singing thing, a belt buckle & a radio flyer horse to ride. He loves all the toys & especially the horse. He rides that thing all day! I think he's going to want to be a cowboy like his cousins.
I got an AMAZING gift from Justin. A new Nikon SLR camera (D40X)10.2 megapixels. I figured I was getting something big...but not this much. It came with a regular lense & a zoom lense, 2 batteries and a great bag. I mean...this thing is AWESOME! I can't wait to see all the great pics I can take!!!! Here's an example of a pic it takes.
Jess & her boyfriend, Adam visited also. He is so sweet. He brought us his homemade pumpkin bread & it is AMAZING. He also brought us GREAT gifts! So genuine & sweet. Jessica's ALMOST as lucky as Adam is! hehe...

Weight Loss Challenge
I'm so pumped after watching The Biggest Loser finale last night.
I'm up about 5 lbs this month. Which means I'm about 10 lbs away from where I was before I had Cole. I'm ready to be in shape. I don't like this extra "baggage".
Justin and I are starting the DAY after Christmas (I'm really trying to begin today). I just can't believe I weighed less about 2 months after Cole was born...than I do now. My legs were skinnier...my booty smaller. I REALLY want to feel healthy. I also want to be in great shape so we can start trying for another baby at the end of the summer.
If you want to join me...let me know! I'll try to post a weekly check in so you can post everytime you workout or whatever. I need motivation from friends & family to make it work (I'm sure youre the same!) We're all in this together! (in the words of Highschool musical!)
