Scales do not lie, or do they?!?!?!

The scale was a little disappointing today I got on and I am back at 252.3, UGH.  This is my never ending battle.  I have been trying for way over a year to get under 240 with no success.  I do not understand why, why, why it won't budge.  I've come so close, but never made it.  I have switched up routines and diets with no success.  Sometimes you wish you could just starve yourself, don't worry I know how unhealthy that is & my goal is to obtain that healthy lifestyle I had before.  I know that I can probably get my diet more under control, which is why I'm doing the 21 Day Fix. It's all about clean eating and healthy choices. 

I just recently read this article that I found fitting. 

Dieting vs. Exercise for weightloss

I have been trying to be allot less stressed lately because I know how much that inhibits weigthloss.  It's just seriously hard when you have 4 year old twins & a almost 3 year old constantly whining and doing things that they know they are not suppose to or a DH who isn't that much of a help around the house.  Plus this Summer has been extremely busy now that the twins have started participating in sports.  Don't get me wrong I love that they are involved and such, but sometimes it's just allot of work (now I see what my parents went thru with the three of us, LOL).  I know it's only going to get worse when they start being on different teams.  Plus this Fall the twins will be in Pre-K and Jake will be starting Preschool.  My babies are growing up to fast :-(  Here is a recent picture of them.

This is from a birthday party this past Saturday.  7/12/14!

Well back to dieting... I am going to & I mean going to do the Lower Body Fix tonight (no BS excuses) and I'm not sure what I'm making for dinner yet.  Last night I made  Crunchy Honey Garlic pork chops (yum, yum, yum) and steamed broccoli & cauliflower. 

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

Day 1 of round 2 of the 21 Day fix

Today is the day, the day to flush out all those poisons I put into my body all weekend (beer, processed foods).  It is 3:15pm and I have done awesome so far.  I just am not feeling to good today.  I think it's a combination of my monthly friend visiting any day (TMI, I know but it comes with the territory) and all the beer and nasty foods I ate since Wednesday night.  Well this time I am ready and I will take the bull by the horns and kick some ass these next 3 weeks.  I WILL not cheat & I will succeed.  This is only 3 weeks and anyone can do this in 3 weeks.

I am so excited to get home & eat a healthy meal then get my workout in.  My new tennis shoes came in the mail and I cannot wait to wear them.  I order Asics running, the first time my brother convinced me to get them I loved them after that.  They feel so weightless which is great if you are a runner.  They can run a bit on the expensive side but I personally think they are worth the investment. 

OH, on another note, I had a very disturbing dream last night that involved my kids but mostly my daughter and it wasn't good.  I keep thinking back to it & it really scares me.  I need to get it out of my mind.  I literally checked on her this morning before I left to make sure all was great.  I want to run home after work and hug her and cuddle.  I've never had anything this bad about my kids and I don't want to ever again.  Sorry, I had to get this out because it is brothering me and I just don't feel like posting it on FB where some people I know can be idiots about it (they probably know who they are)

Ok, back the Fix.  My current weight this morning was 253 ( I will do measurements tonight before I work out).  Yes, after this weekend I have put weight on, but I know most of it is water (PMS & bloating) so that'll go away once it shows up (Aunt flow). 

I really wish I had more of an ability to convince people to try out Beachbody (it's 100% money back guarantee if you don't like it).  I cannot get anyone to commit and it is a bit of a downer.  I want people to get healthy, I want to help people feel better.  I just suck at convincing someone (especially when it's a bit costly, but well worth it). 

However, gotta get back to work.  Until next time.........................
