We had great weather today! the sun was out and it wasn't too cold. I went to my 30 Minute Hit today, I was happy to get back. I forgot to tell you guys how I had hubby meet me to pick up Grace and off I went...well I had read the schedule wrong and they were closed =(. It kicked my butt again today and I am starting to feel a little stronger with each circuit.
I have eaten quite well today but did go a little overboard on the cheetos. I ended up finishing them and have decided they are no longer welcome in my house. I just can't control it right now. Some days I have no problem with that kind of stuff, right now is not one of those times. After Grace woke up from her second nap we walked to Costco (about 1 hour round trip) and picked her up some clothes and her first arrowroot cookies! What a mess that was...she had it every where.
Tomorrow I am not sure what I will do for activity. It will be a walk or some sort because I have to take Grace to the doctor to discuss weaning her. I am not sure if I will switch to formula or if they will say it is okay to go right to cows milk.....This may be TMI but at this point I only have one working book and she has 2 teeth and 2 more on the way and let's just say I am sore.....I am hoping to be able to go right to cows milk, she is almost 11 months and I am not sure what he will recommend.
I have planned my meals for tomorrow and I think it should be easy to stick to. I also got a blogger award today and I will do it all up tomorrow - my battery is almost out of juice.....Thanks Need to Get ME Back!

Just Words
Yesterday I read a very emotional post from one of my favorite bloggers. She was talking about how she had failed because she was struggling with emotional eating and she had given in and eaten some cookies. This blogger has lost almost 80 pounds and is doing amazing! If this is failing....what am I doing? I know we all have our own personal struggles and ways of dealing with them. We all have our own ideas of what is success and what is failure, but right now I feel like I am in every meaning of the word a failure.
I have been going to WW for months now and all I have managed to do is watch my weight go down and up in a continuous cycle. This is not because of the plan but because I don't seem to be able to commit myself to anything. I had a plan when I was pregnant that as soon as I could I would be back to WW and back on my way to goal. I followed through with that plan but gave up very quickly....it was too hard. I had a new baby you know and I just couldn't do it. That is the excuse I keep using. I have dug myself into some kind of funk where I just seem too lazy to do anything. I keep going to WW and planning what I am going to do and then never fully following through. I will so a part of the plan but not the whole thing, or I will keep it up for a couple of days and then just stop. I feel like I am in a perpetual cycle of failure....
I have all the knowledge and tools I need to do this so why do I keep failing? I keep failing because I let myself. I keep typing out all these plans that I have....they are just words if I don't follow through with the action.
This week I will go to 30 Minute Hit 3 times, I will make it to at least 1 Stroller Strides class, I will only eat my daily points and weekly points and I will make better choices. This week I will not fail.

WI
Well I was excited again and let down again. I was up .4, I know it is not alot but I felt like I worked harder than that and should have had a loss. I am really disappointed....I know I was not perfect but I was good. I picked up one of the trackers from the meeting (I have been using a 3 month one) and will be showing it to my mom and if I do not lose again next week I will be going over it with my leader. I must be doing something wrong. I think I will start posting later in the day and showing it to you guys too. Maybe I am not being honest with myself? Maybe I am wrong on some of my points? I need to do better if I want to reach my goals and feel comfortable in my own body again.
I am wrestling with pulling my scale out again...Maybe it was helping?

Finally!!!!
I finally got new shoes! Funny enough they fitted me for the same shoes that I am trying to replace! If I had known that was what was best for me I could have sorted this out weeks ago. I had a really nice morning with my mom and we had a good lunch. I had a couple of candies when I got home but I have otherwise been right on track. Hubby said he will be off work on time so we will be meeting at the gym so he can take Grace with him and I can get a workout in. It has started raining a bit so I am not sure we will get to walk to Subway - if not I will just stop on the way home and pick it up.
So we have had a very exciting week around the house here, Grace has started to really crawl, sit up on her own and she can moo like cow now! I know this is supposed to be about weight loss and stuff but I can't help but talk about her a bit. You can see the most recent picture here. The other day she was laying on her tummy and then all of a sudden she kinda worked her way into a downward dog type of position and then on to her bum! She has found an easier way of doing it now but it's so exciting! She has also been "army" crawling and yesterday she did a real crawl....she doesn't do it all the time but it's good. When we were playing the other day I showed her the cow and told her it says moo, then I asked her what the cow does and she did it back to me! It's like she's developing and changing so fast!
Well tomorrow is WI - I can't wait to see the number!

Eating
Something I have been smart about today. I took a good look at what I am doing and don't want to waste those amazing workouts I have been having this week. I was hoping to get back into my stroller class today but I got lost in the shoe department this morning. I have still not been able to find a new pair of runners! Tomorrow my mom is off work so we are going to head over to a Running Room to see if they can get me what I need and want. This way I can get a good fitting and my mom can keep Grace company for me.
Again this week I have managed to stay away from the scale. I am excited for my WI on Saturday...it should be better then last week...I have been doing much better. Where I have had some off eating I have had some great activity which I will top off with a walk to my inlaws (takes about 1 hour) and another session at the gym tomorrow. I get home at about 5 and then I am going to see if hubs wants to walk up to Subway for dinner. Then I don't have to cook but it is still healthy and should help me get some energy to get through the night. After my workout I feel like I have left everything I have got on that floor - it's amazing to have this again. I have not worked out this hard since I saw a personal trainer before I got married in 2007. There is only one of these studios in the states (sorry guys - you are missing out!) but if you are in Canada or where that one studio is in the states take advantage of the free trial and see if it is something that makes you feel good. Check it out at http://www.30minutefit.com/ . I just want to make it clear that I am not paid by or getting anything from the company for saying these thing...it's just how I feel.

Hard Work *UPDATE* See bottom of post
I went back to the gym today and it kicked my butt again! What an excellent workout! I can feel it even more today, my abs are killing me!
I was so happy to get to the gym again today, my inlaws came over and watched Grace because hubby was at the dentist. I am really looking forward to going back on Friday....I am going to get stronger every time. To give you an idea of how great a workout it is I took some pictures on my camera....they are bad but here they are anyways.
I have to admit that I did not eat well at all today. I pulled it together after my workout and ate well at dinner but that is about it for the day. I have to do better tomorrow or I am going to be working hard for nothing! I don't just want to keep myself even, I want to lose!
And just for fun I took a picture of Grace in her favorite ride!

One of the bloggers I love is trying to raise money for a 60 mile walk for a great cause. If you are American and can help her out check her out here.

Holy Smokes!
So I was a little skeptical about a 30 minute workout....I was proven WRONG!!!!! This workout was amazing and I was dripping in sweat! It is a MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) based circuit and it is amazing! If you have a 30 Minute Hit near you, give it a try! I was so happy that I liked it, it takes about 45 minutes with stretching and I felt amazing after and slept great last night!
My eating was okay yesterday, I ended up having a quick dinner of Kraft dinner. I used 4 of my weekly points and none of my activity points. Grace seems to be needing less milk so I have cut back 1 point. I have a much healthier dinner planned for today (fresh cut veggies and chicken pot pie) and a light activity day today. I am not going to my Stroller class because Grace hates the indoor classes, she kinda blocks them off and she just sit and yells for me....I don't feel I get anything out of it except a ticked off Grace. We are going to go and walk the mall and look for some new runners. I need to find something that will be good for the gym and walking/running outdoors.
Wish me luck!
