Week 2-Update

My hard work is finally starting to pay off.

I know it's hard to see in the picture but my waist line is going down fast. I already lost two inches off my waist line.

Plus, I picked up a size small in workout pants and they fit. Yippee...I'm wearing a size 4-6!

I also lost 2.5 lbs!

Week 2-weight loss update

I managed to drop the pounds.

Last week, I ended up gaining two plus pounds!

This week, I managed to drop four pounds.

The starting weight was 131.5 and I'm currently at 127.5!

Only 2.5 pounds to lose before I will be reaching me goal of 125 lbs!

Inferno Fire-Results!

The results are in...I didn't make much progress!

I burned yesterday alone over 1100 calories and I gained one pound.

The only area that I say any difference was my waist line.

Talk about feel'n discouraged.

I'm going to have to try again...I had a hard time following the low calorie plan but I was still eating super healthy.

Life sucks sometimes!

A Pat on My Back!

I decided to not post this on my family board...I'm not sure why but I don't want everyone up in my business if you know what I mean. I really have been struggling for the past eight years gaining some confidence is the parenting arena. I really have been struggling with some issuses with my self confidence and trying really hard to figure out myself. Any time you want to deal with issuses that are not fun it sucks. I really sucks. I have really great kids that act prefect 100% of the time at school but at home it's a compeletely different story. Ummm...I wonder who has the problem. It's ME! I know...it's earth shattering. I have done a good job teaching them morals and standards. I love them way too much and give them too much stuff. I'm not a very discpline person and will run off into a million different directions. Well, life's hard...especially when your hubby tells you that his tried of hearing you on the phone at work complaining about the kids not listening to me. Ya...let's be honest. I wouldn't listen to myself either. Empty threats...I know don't work. I know all of these things. I have read and study the subject. My hubby has told me a million times over that I have to make the kids listen to me. I really don't know for sure what's the issue per see by I'm getting closer to resloving the issue.

So, today...things could of gone really bad. I even called my hubs two times but luckily he didn't answer the phone. I really had to dig deep and have the self control to handle the situation. Instead of blowing my top and losing control. I stayed focused, I look my child into his eyes, I was firm, and he knew I meant business. I decided to not let him perform for me anymore. I will not be his audience when he doesn't get his way. I even went as far as to lock myself in my room and igorne him. It worked...a few minutes later I opened the door and he was sitting on his time out chair.

I feel really good. The kids completely trashed the house and I was able to get them all to help clean up the huge mess. It's not completed done but I'm happy about the progess they did make.

I'm going to be open again...I'm really afraid to confront my kiddos. I have no idea why but I'm always afraid to tell them "no". I'm not sure if it's because I'm worried they will hate me or not love me. I really don't know...I need to keep working on this.

So...I had a really good day.

I was in control of myself, I was confident...and the kids knew I meant business.

I didn't know yell at them.

I didn't give up and sulk and complain about being a bad mom.

The kids will come to respecting me and knowing where the boundaries are at.

I have to know what I want from them first before they will know how to behave.

Like I said my kids are wonderful and special.

I think the biggest issue is that I haven't be consistent and have sent them mixed messages in who's in charge.

No, Landon you are not in charge. It's me!

I'm really hoping for the best...it's only going to get better.

Plus, we have sat down for dinner for two nights in a row and read scriptures at the dinner room table.

Everything is going smoothly. Hopefully, I didn't jinx myself.

Inferno Day 3

The past two days haven't been easy but I really feel like my eating habits are getting better!

I jumped out of bed this morning and thought for sure I would of lost a few pounds.

Well, I was really dissapointed when I didn't lose a single pound.

I feel better so I decided to pull out the measuring tape.

I remeasured myself...well...I remeasured my waist line and I'm down one inch.

My waist was 30 inches and now it's down to 29 inches.

Yippee!!!!!

My abs are my biggest problem. I'm really happy with my arms and legs but the pouchy tummy needs to go.

A New Me

Suriving the Holidays is hard.

All those candies, sugary treats, and stress equal one stressed on Mom.

I managed to pack on a couple of extra pounds.

I'm not happy with myself.

So, I'm recommitted to improving myself and reteaching myself healthy eating habits.

Back in July...I started Turbo Fire. I kicked it off by doing the Inferno Fire 5 day plan. I managed to drop several pounds and I felt amazing. Some how along the way...I lost my focus.

For the next month...it's all about me. Ya, some might say I'm being selfish but I don't care. Taking care of myself is sooo important. A stressed out mom isn't a good mom. I'm really hoping to get myself back into eating heathly and focusing on improving myself.

I'm going to be following the Inferno eating plan but I will be changing up the workout plan.

I'm going to run in a marathon this spring.

The Oz marathon plus I will be running in the Bentonville Half Marathon.

The Oz marathon is April 16th and the half marathon is Apirl 1st.

I can't wait....my hubby doesn't want me to run in a marathon but I don't care. He can deal with it.

I'm going to use MarathonRockie.com training schedule, click here! It's a 16 week schedule. I'm going to have to change it up. I don't like running back to back days. I don't want to hurt myself. I have an arch problem...I don't want it to flare up.

Also, workouting out isn't my problem. I can push myself but eating healthy is my biggest problem. I don't eat fast food but I have a problem with portion control.

Here are my stats:

Dec 27. 2010

chest: 34"

Arms: 11"

Waist: 30"

Hips: 35.5"

Legs: 20"

My biggest problem...waist and hips!

Focus, baby, focus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My current weight which is horrible is 131.5 pounds....my goal is to get back down to 125 pounds!

I'm currently at 23% body fat...I really want to get 20% body fat.

Overall, If I keep blogging and keeping my goals in focus it will happen.

I'm trying really hard to be my personal BEST!

I'm BACK!

I'm back...I took a couple of months off from blogs.

My running pace is faster than ever before.

I PR'd on my lastest 10k race at 57:16!

I'm chubby but it's hard to stay too skinny during the holidays.

I'm lov'n my life at the moment.
