Starting Over

I had to restart my Focus T25 because just a lot of stuff came up at the end of week one the first time around.  Some stuff was my last day at the job and then that following Monday I started my new job and just trying to get myself acquainted to the new routine and getting the kids onto a new one it took a lot out of me.  There are of course a bunch of other stuff going on right now and I'm under a lot of stress so I have to say that Life got in the way last week and I quit. 

I am happy to report though that yesterday I started T25 again and I completed Day 1 alpha Cardio and although it was an a*s kicker it was not as hard as the first time around.  I also pushed myself a little bit harder.  I woke up yesterday and got my fat butt on the scale (first time in over a week) and I was weighing in at a whopping 260.6 lbs.. Yes, I gained almost 7 lbs in over a week and a half.  I knew some it was because my period was due (which came yesterday) and some due to all the beer drunk over the weekend.  So I weighed myself this morning and was at 257.3, still not happy with it, but better then yesterday (a little).  I am determined to get myself under the 250 mark by Halloween, heck if more I'd be ecstatic..  So I have 31 1/2 days to reach my goal and I WILL if I faithfully follow T25 for the next 10 weeks. 

I have no "big" plans over the next few weeks, this past weekend was Jake's 3rd birthday so we celebrated Friday night & then we had our 1st annual block party on Saturday (so lots of drinking) anyways I will not be drinking any alcohol over the next several weeks (I know that there will be drinking on Halloween).  If I do well I may allow myself a glass of wine or two on the pumpkin carving parties that we have coming up next month.  I am going to stick to my healthy eating.  Come on its only 10 weeks and only 25 mins 5 x a week of my commitment and my faithful, enthusiasm.  I CAN and I WILL do this. 

So 10 weeks from yesterday is 12/1/14 which will be my final week of the T25 and I will be down 10lbs or more and several inches off the waist.  I will be going into the Holidays feeling great about myself and will be trying to reduce a lot of stress that is being put on me lately over the next several months.  I don't know how or what I'm going to do but I will try my hardest to accomplish my goals. 

That is about all folks.  The kids are doing great and wonderful at school.  Within that past couple weeks they have learned a lot & I'm impressed with their new school.  Joey does occasionally tell me that he misses his old school and wants to go back.  But within three days of starting school he learned the National Anthem.  Jake & Addi are also learning colors & counting.  Yes, Addisyn is not as advanced as Joey, but she's going strong.  I'm loving the new job and so glad that I have been giving this opportunity with them.  I am very grateful. 

Until next time...............

T25 Starts

Ok, I'm sorry it's been a while since I've posted, but in all honesty there hasn't been that much to post about.  I will give you a sum up of what's been going on. 

I have been slacking on my workouts, but eating has still been mostly healthy (I'm proud to say).  I have started the T25 workout program from Beachbody yesterday.  The program is healthy eating and 25 minutes 5x a week workouts.  There is absolutely NO slacking in the workouts.  I did my first one last night while dinner was cooking and it was a non-stop 25 mins straight of cardio, heart pumping cardio.  I honestly have to say it was hard, but I felt great afterwards and I cannot wait for Day 2 tonight.  I got on the scale yesterday morning for the first time in weeks and was kinda disappointed in what it said (258.1), but I know a lot of it had to do with water weight.  I got on the scale again this morning just for shits N giggles and it said 253.1 so 5 lbs down from yesterday I would definitely say YES it was water retention. 

Other things that have happened since my last post.  I have received another job offer and I start 9/22/14 and I am very excited.  This is going to be a great opportunity for myself and I can advance myself in other things (not to mention the pay was way better then now, $7,000 raise).  The new company has so much more to offer me for the future and I hope I do well and this will become a place I can retire from (Oh my, I don't want to think that I'm getting old).  So this week I am saying farewell to my current employer. 

The trio are loving school (Pre-K & preschool).  They are learning so much already.  I'm so proud of them.  Addisyn has started tap/ballet this past Saturday and she did really good for her first day.  The boys have been asking what they are going to do (since Addi had dance class) so we are looking to see if there are any soccer leagues still open.  

Well folks that's about all right now!  I will update more (I will be really busy starting next week with the new job) but I will try to get on at night time and update on how my T25 is going for the next 10 weeks. 

Until next time.......
