Weight Loss

Is this how anyone else feels? Boy, I sure do. Maybe I should invest in a gun...=)
I have not blogged for a long time about my ongoing weight loss challenge. Because there has been nothing to report. I decided quite a while back that I was going to take a break from my running because I wanted to concentrate on something that was going to be better about burning fat which is what I wanted. The running didn't seem to be cutting it. So I quit running with every intention to start a new "program". Well, long story short, I didn't stick with the new "program" and I ended up not doing anything! Then, a friend let me borrow an aerobics video that really helped her get back into shape after having her baby. So I tried it. It really was a really good video...but it was hard! Like an hour of hard. So I did that a few times, but it's really hard to work up the motivation to spend an hour of really hard. That and it's hard for me to even find an hour. So I stopped doing that. So now here I am, not doing anything except watching what I eat...(I really enjoyed watching myself eat all those chocolate peanut butter bars I made this week!)
A couple weeks ago I decided to join weight watchers. I've heard good things about it. I'm doing the online version of it so I don't have to go to meetings and weigh myself in front of bunches of people, so that makes me happy. I did it for like a week and then I stopped because of the busy-ness of the wedding stuff. But I'm just now restarting it. Hopefully it will help me. I also decided to start my running program over again. I really did like running. And the nice thing about it is that I can go out and do it and then it's over. I also just discovered that we still have a valid membership to cascade athletic club. (Josh's company does the website for them and in exchange we get a free membership there...but I thought it had ended.) So I am thinking about joining some of their classes. I just can't decide between the weight lifting class or the ab class...hmm. I probably will go for the weight lifting class. I like to lift weights. Anyway...we'll see what happens.

Yea you for getting back on track! (He, he, he! Aren't you running again;) Sometimes that's harder than starting in the first place.
Just remember, it's not your weight that matters, but your waist. I heard someplace that the inches of the bigest part of your waist should be half that of your hight. I'm about an inch away! And I'm sure you'll be dropping inches left and right soon.....ess. when you start the wieght lifting class!

Kristi-
I wish I could go with you and work out! Some of the "GROUP" classes seemed really good...Bill Fisher (G manager) teaches some, so does Ben Maddox (EG manager)! :)
Have fun and enjoy running in this gorgeous weather!

Kristi,
Carrington here--I'm hoping you remember me from our phone conversation a while back. I'm 30 weeks and 3 days now with my triplets and definitely feeling the gravity of the impending changes. I just watched the video on Josh's blog of going to the farmer's market with the kids. Usually I'm a pretty patient person myself, but sometimes I dread the attention to come... I love reading your blog though (and I love the fact that you update it as often as you do). You are more than welcome view my own blog if you have any interest: http://mostlylife.blogspot.com. I started it in January, after we got news of the triplets on the way. I'm still hoping we can meet in person sometime. My c-section is tentatively scheduled for July 17, so some time late summer early fall... Take care!

I am quite fond of the Centergy class and will be starting it again next week. It is low impact, but you will be sore in places that you didn't even know you had muscles(which I think is a good thing!). It is a combo of pilates and yoga, and the abs part really makes you want to roll over and curl up in a ball-but the relaxation at the end is lovely!(p.s. I am also starting a fitness program Monday, maybe we could coordinate on a day or two? e-mail me if you want)
