Since I made the decision to get back on the wagon and start my road to healthiness again I have lost between half a pound and a pound a week. Although this means that I have a long road to hoe, it means that I am getting there. I am almost down to the where I was in September of 2009 when I was at my lowest weigh and my highest fitness level. The best part of this whole process is that I am having fun doing it.
I hit the gym during lunch 3 or 4 days a week. Mixing it up between cardio and strength. Right now I have been focusing a lot on my abs because honestly I WANT this tummy GONE! I shouldn't blame it on the two c-sections that I have had because lord knows that this tummy was there before my two beautiful children came along. But I would like everyone to see the tone muscles that are there underneath the pudge. ;)
I have been riding a lot but not as much as I would like. This week was an off week for me with regards to the bike. But that just means that next week I will come back stronger and harder. I have a Monday night right to do and a Wednesday night ride to do. Perhaps I might sneak in a Tuesday or Thursday night right as well. We shall see. ;) But I am still spinning. I love spin class! I am getting stronger and faster. I burned more calories this week in 45 minutes than I have in any of the other classes that I have taken. I keep improving and one day I might actually burn more than the guys in the class. Keep you fingers crossed for me!
We are still working on the food addiction. I love food people. LOVE IT! I love to make it. I love to eat it. I love to look up new recipes on Pinterest. I love to talk about it. I LOVE IT! But I need to find more food that makes me love my body more. I am having a hard time with veggies at the moment. I feel like I am not getting enough. There have been many days in the last few weeks that I would go a whole day without eating ONE vegetable. This just isn't good. Not good for me or the family. I have got to fix this stat!
Summer is right around the corner and I want to feel comfortable in a swim suit taking my kiddos to the beach. Gotta kick it up a notch! Who's with me?

Let's Go Ride Bikes!
I have a lot to blog about but not the time to do it. Lets just say that the Cycling Season has started! I am so excited and feel so confident this year that I am going to conquer all my goals. Whatever they may be.

February Blogging Break
It looks as though i took a break during the month of February from blogging. Truth is I was just lazy. ;) Not lazy with my workouts but lazy about my blogging.
Things are going great. I am feeling pretty good the weight it steadily coming off. I have lost 4.5 lbs since I started my journey which isn't a lot but it is consistant and steady. I still have a hate hate relationship with the scale but as long as the numbers keep decreasing I am ok with that.
I just completed my lab work this week for my yearly physical. Everything came back well in the normal range. Even though I have 50 lbs to lose (or more), my good/bad cholesterol, triglyserides, CBC, and thyroid are all normal. :) YEAH ME! I even increased my good cholesterol to the normal ratings. That makes me super happy because I don't want my doctor to tell me on Monday that I need to take fish oil like she did last year. I HATE fish oil. Even the burpless kind makes me feel like I had a tuna fish sandwich for breakfast. I just can't handle that!
Workouts are going well. I have hitting the gym 3 days a week and a taking a spin class once a week. On the other days I have been walking or riding with the kids. We work in the yard a lot and we just keep busy. It helps me to stay motivated. I am not anyway close to where I want to be physically (looking or ability) but I am getting there. Still working on my food addiction, that has to be the hardest part. But with baby steps I will be able to conquer that!! HA
Next week is going to be a good week! Even though I dread Springing Forward an hour for daylight savings, I am super stoked about getting back on my bike. Monday and Wednesday I will be pedaling my little heart out. I am looking forward to it and the calories that I will burn. :) It has been a long winter for me (broken bike, feeling depressed about my body imagine, super busy with work and kiddos) and this is the break that I have been looking for. Lets hope I don't fall over. ;)
