Day 14/30.....Weigh In.....Uh Oh!

Well today was a dreaded weigh in.  Why?  Because I haven't worked out this week like I should have.  I have had this persistent cough for the last week that gets worse when I walk briskly, try my elliptical, etc.  So no working out.

Instead, I made sure to track EVERYTHING that went into my mouth.  Including the numerous cough drops that I had to suck on to keep from coughing my head off.

Well I stepped on my scale this morning and I am down....3 POUNDS!!!!  WAHOO!!!!!

I am still having this issue with my respiratory system so I am not sure how much activity I will get in this week.  Hopefully I am at the tail end of this.  My daughter's lasted 2 weeks....Wednesday will be one week for me but I am hoping mine doesn't last as long as hers did.

Oh and about that project I was working on????  The Lion King Cake???  I completed it and it was awesome, if I should say so myself.  See.......................

So until later.....

Day13/30 SICK

OMG. Nonstop coughing. Ugh That is all.

Day 11/30....Cough Cough....

Don't know what's coming over me but I have no fever, but I have a little cough....when I breathe, it makes me want to cough....Ugh....So no workout again today.  Everytime I do anything strenuous, I get these cough spells.

Hopefully this is short lived.  UGH!

Day 10/30.....Uh oh...

Didn't blog yesterday.  I was all set to get it in but got sidetracked by the news that someone that I know died as a result of a Brown Recluse spider bite.  I am still in shock!  It was less than a year ago that this guy was sitting in my kitchen eating cupcakes with his soon to be wife a daughter.  My goodness....Life is too freakin' short.   RIP Brandon.

Today...I have been in my kitchen, busy trying to get this Lion King cake done.  I will update when I can....Until then...

Day 8/30......Hakuna Matata!!!

Well after missing yesterday's workout due to a project I am working on, I was determined to get in today's workout.  After I got the baby to bed, I got to it!

Started out with a 20 minute, 1 mile trek on the elliptical.  Then proceeded to weights.

Weight workout for tonight:

• CHEST: Chest Presses, Dumbell Flyes, and push ups 
• HAMSTRINGS: Dead lifts...and lots of them! Legs are going to be dead tomorrow.  LOL
• ABS:  Crunches and pelvic thrusts....(yeah, there is such a thing...LOL)

Planned workout for tomorrow....Cardio only....so that's another trek on the elliptical!  I really do love that thing! (no sarcasm...I really do!)  Feels like dancing since I keep up with my music.  So much fun...

Did I say that????

Project I am working on?   Replicating this wonderful cake by Peggy of Peggy Does Cakes.....Working on the figures....Can I get activity points for that???  Heck it took 5 hours to sculpt Simba!  SHEESH!

Until tomorrow.......Hakuna Matata!

WTH? Day 7/30

I put in all the work last week and I jump on the scale and I had a .4 increase in weight? WTH?
I looked back in my tracker, as it tells you to when you gain, and sorta kinda figured out what happened.
Well considering the fact that AF was here last week, I didn't compensate for that by increasing water. As a matter of fact, I drank more diet soda! Bad me!
So today starts a new week for me. I'll keep moving and increase my water and hopefully will see a big loss next week!

12:22p-Just had lunch...I'm drinking water with orange from my 24oz Tervis tumbler....boy do I feel a difference already! I have gotten fuller faster and I'm peeing lots! (yep I'm excited about that....ridding myself of the dreaded AF bloat!)

10:19pm  OMG!  Can't believe that it is almost 10:30pm and I haven't worked out yet!  I have a huge project I am working on for Saturday and I have been working on it since 7pm (after eating dinner, feeding my babes, making lunches for tomorrow, cleaning the kitchen...) OMG!  I hate to use this as an excuse but I am not even near done!  I stuck to my points TO A 'T' today and didn't use any over my daily allowance.  I also drank water ALL DAY!   I soooo wish I could get up earlier in the mornings for my workouts but I already get up at 4:30 to get myself to work on time.  Earlier???  That a'int happening!  I will try my best to get my workouts in some way or another this week.  I will have to walk during my lunch break most likely.

Until tomorrow....G'night

Day 5/30....I do know my numbers!

Yes, I do know that it should be day 4/30 BUT yesterday didn't happen....the workout that is....I did track but I didn't workout.  I think AF has me in a bitch mood....I just didn't feel like it yesterday.  Plain and simple.
But today is a new day, I am going to get the workout in EARLY since my hubby is off today....No excuses.
7:03pm
Began my workout by doing 20 minute warmup on my killer...Ahem...I meant Elliptical Trainer...LOL In said 20 minutes....well actually at about the 18th minute,
