Update!

I have still yet to make any jewelry, but a girl at work noticed that I was losing weight! Yeah Me! And she had no idea that I was trying. I know sometimes, people feel obligated to say they can tell that your losing weight because they want to be supportive. And I appreciate their support. But sometimes, you do wonder if they are just lying. So, it was awesome to have someone who has no idea that I am trying to lose weight say "Hey Rachel are you losing weight?" And to top it all off, my clothes are getting looser. That's the biggest PLUS! So, I will keep trying to remain focused!

Mostly done!

Well, I got most of my list done. I haven't made the jewelry, but I am tired and need to go to sleep soon. And I weighted myself after the gym and had lost the 1lb I was worried about. So, it could just be water. But, I will try to remain focused.

2 1/2 things done!

I have almost completed 2 1/2 things on my things to do list. I am going to finish paying bills online and try to finish the rest of the list before the kids get home. Well, I have jewelry to make. That may have to wait until after bedtime.

Get up and Go!

I know that it has been awhile since my last post. I have been sloooow moving lately. I have been volunteering at the school's book fair and have no time. Sweeps week is NOT helping. I think I need a 25-26 hr day to get everything. done. Well, I am sure I could reorganize how I spend my time and get more done. I have only gotten 1 thing on my things to do list done this morning. And unfortunately, when I weighted myself this morning my lack of going to the gym showed. I gained 1 lb. But today that is going to change. I am going to the gym and get myself refocused. I think I have a lot of things to do and get overwhelmed. And then don't do the things I need to and then just get frustrated at myself. And I was getting up w/Lucas when I took him to school instead of sleeping (after working all night). I was CRABBY, but getting things done. But I pushed myself too hard. Because I have been EXHAUSTED. So, I am trying to find a balance. Tomorrow is the last day of the bookfair and my last 2hr shift. So, hopefully next week I will go to the gym every day again. But I am going right NOW!

Hitting a Brick Wall


I have been feeling like I am getting into a rut and hitting a wall. I am trying to get through it, or over it. Heck I might have to go under it, but I am having more cravings, not wanting to exercise and am crabby ALOT! So, hopefully I will get out of this rut.

0 star day :(

I have been exercising Mon- Fri and today was the first time in weeks that I didn't exercise. I worked last night, and was able to get 3-4hrs of sleep before getting up and taking my youngest son to afternoon kindergarten. I volunteered in his class today since it was his bday. Then school was over, time for homework/chores before taking the bday boy out for dinner and the movies. So, I am EXHAUSTED now that the boys are finally in bed. And exercise is not happening. And if I don't drag myself to bed, I will be to tired tomorrow. I feel like I am loosing focus. So, hopefully, I will get back on track. I am still having days when I am more hungry so even though I do awesome at the gym, my total calories for the day are more than I want. I had more calories than I wanted for today, but I was under my needs yesterday. And when I work the night before it is hard to be awake for most of 2days while not eating much. Tomorrow is a new day, RIGHT!

Give up Or Give in

Today was hard. It was the first day I really felt like giving up or more like give in to temptation. And not just to food. I didn't want to do cardio. I am still sore from doing weights/squats/lunges yest. And I was hungry. Like starved. But I know as a whole, I could have done better. But on the flip side I could have done worse. I did my workout and I cheated but in small amounts. And I met my calories burned/cardio minutes for the week goal yest. So, I hope tomorrow is better.
