Battle of the Bulge has Begun....

Okay so I have not been on here in a little bit and there has been so much that has happened. Where to start??

From Jan 1st-Jan 7th I ran a total of 6 miles and had no workouts. I did not lose any weight. I went up and down everyday and at the end of the week I ended up where I left off.

In between all of this my husband was extremely sick and managed to lose 15 pounds. Go figure.

Jan 8th- My oldest daughters 5th birthday and the start of a new week. We surprised her with all her Little Mermaid goodies, went to Pump It Up as a family (yes mommy got in and may have ripped her pants a little bit), got the birthday girl a new booster seat for the car (which I hate because it is so bulky it makes it hard to buckle her), rented some movies, ate at Pappa Burgers for the first time (highly over-rated and expensive). Overall it was an amazing day spent with my little cupcake.

Jan 9th- This is the day I finally decided to get my lazy a*$ off the couch. I did the first day of Jamie Eason's livefit trainer and finished it up with a mile run in the rain. I felt so amazing. I have been looking for a program that incorporates weights. I wanted more like a guideline and Jamie Eason does that. However; in order to see results you can not do cardio the first month. I of course have to because I am training for a half marathon. In my search I learned about bodyrock. I had heard of it before but was more confused then intrigued. Then I heard about the 30 day challenge. I was thinking "I can do anything for 30 days". So I checked it out. These workouts are short but INSANE. I thought I would give it a shot but it didn't start until the 10th. This was also the day I decided that I would not be going back into the Surgical Tech Program. It was a super huge decision and trust me...I cried and prayed a lot. There is just so many things I want to get in order. One of those being us moving into our own little shack :) and making it our own. I also really want to get my bachelors. Some things just are not meant to be. Maybe I was rushing gods plan? Whatever the case. I am extremely happy with my decision. I am going to enroll at UNT in the fall with a major in Kinesiology and hopefully a minor in History or business (I have not really decided). I am starting the ground work now to find out what classes I need to enroll in. So these next 8 months I am going to focus on saving, moving out, hitting some personal goals, my body, mind and spirit (I started doing a bible study. It's just a paragraph a day, but it changes my entire mood)

Jan 10th- I got up ready to do this crazy bodyrock fit test and because the girl that does it is overseas she does not load them until the evening. So I decided to do day 2 of livefit trainer. After I lifted I followed it with another mile. The did my measurements and all that jazz. For the most part I ate really well. UNTIL...ray was finally able to hold down foods so he made these amazing potato fries...I am not kidding when I say they were amazing. I could not eat enough they were so good. I made salmon and stuffing to go with it, but in the end its the fries that did me in.

Jan 11th- I woke up and it was amazing outside (high of 70). I went back to work. Had fun and made some money. Came home put all of my money in my pimp cup (savings mason jar). Then I went and ran 3 miles, picked up the girls, went to the park, fed the cows, did my day one fit test (super brutal), paid bills, finished my drug cards for the girls that are returning to the program, and finally me and kylie cooked dinner together. Bourbon rubbed salmon with BBQ sauce, black beans, corn, and avocado slices. I will be darned though if ray didn't get home and made more fries...YES I made him make a batch for me...they are soooooo good.

I am not sure if I missed anything but if I did I will catch up on it tomorrow. Good night all.
