Anyone gotten off track?

I know I haven't updated in a while, and I wanted to do so. I got off track yet again. I feel awful about that but it happened. I think that it doesnt matter if you get off track, its just important that you get back ON track. And I am back.

I had lots of stuff going on in my life, which is no excuse but sometimes life gets in the way. Well, my little girl turned 1 two days ago and we are officially done breastfeeding. I'm both sad and relieved. I'm excited to really crack down on this weight loss journey.

So I kept getting stuck on week 9 and I restarted phase 3 like 5 times. About two weeks ago I restarted again and decided I wouldn't blog again until I stuck with it and finished weeks 9 and 10 and I'm happy to tell you that tonight I finished week 10. Tomorrow I will begin week 11 and I am positive with only 3 weeks left that I will not get off track any more. I'm excited to finish up. I'm also excited to take my final weight and measurements and my before and after photos.

When I got off track the past month and a half, I gained back a lot of my weight. I was back up to 189. Ugh. So when I stopped Body Revolution, I gained weight. I was making poor food choices. Now I am happy to report that last Monday I weighed in at 179! Can you believe it? In the 170s! That's still so high but it feels like such a relief to be out of the 180s. I remember when I went from 200 to 199... the feeling was amazing. It feels like that. I feel so awesome. Tomorrow is my weigh in day and I cant wait to see what I will weigh.

Just a reminder, when I started Jillian Michaels Body Revolution I weighed 195, so I have lost 16 pounds so far. 3 more weeks left and I feel confident I will have at least a 20 pound loss.

I had to buy new pants the other day and I fit in a pair of 14s! 14! When I started, I was in a size 18! This is crazy.

But what is craziest is that my daughter is 1 now, and the day that I had her (before I had her) I weighed 244. I feel so ashamed just writing that. But its true. 244. Now I'm 179. I can't even begin to tell you how much better I feel about myself. I'm only 20 pounds away from the weight I was when I first met my husband. I can get there. I can do it.

My husband gave up on Body Revolution but he just bought Insanity and is on Day 4! He is doing great and I will be starting that when Body Revolution is over.

Sorry this is so long, I'm just excited about finishing up! I will write tomorrow to let you all know how workout 11 went.

    good for you getting back on track. I enjoy reading your blog. My partner and I started this program at the end of March to lose weight in preparation for a cruise. We worked our butts off (literally!) and we lost 26 pounds. I was down to 151 for the cruise--I wanted to be in the 140's but I just didn't quite get there. Of course on the cruise we put some of the weight back on. We've been back for 3 days and still haven't worked out. We plan on starting back tomorrow so that we can finish this thing and transition to maintenance.

What do you do if you miss a workout?

What do you all do if you miss a workout? I used to always start my workout routines on a Monday and aim for one rest day a week on Sunday. Well, what would happen every time is that I would start my workout routine and then somehow miss a day and then say, "oh I'll just call that my rest day." but then something else would come up later that week. So I would get so "off-track" that I would think I messed up everything and start all over again. But then starting and restarting gets old so then I would just give up! I'm so over it. I'm no longer going to do that. From now on, I'm picking a program, doing each workout on the next day that I can and moving on to the next workout no matter which day it happens to be. With three little kids and a husband that works insane hours and homeschooling and taking care of the house and taking the kids to church events several days a week and etc... it is not going to be possible for me to keep up with that Mon

Body Revolution Day 60 of 90

Cardio 3. What can I say about Body Revolution Cardio 3?? Okay. So at first I thought, sheesh this is a piece of cake. No problem. The second time doing the exercises is was a little bit tougher. But by the third time doing the exercises, I was pouring sweat and felt worn out. Each exercise is only 20 seconds. I like that because a lot of the exercises were easy, but some moves were challenging. When you only have to do something for 20 seconds, its not that bad. You can do ANYTHING for 20 seconds. A lot of the moves you have seen before but I was excited to see some new moves. I really cannot express how much I love Jillian Michaels and her workouts. She is the perfect motivator for me. Some people don't like her approach or her language. But I need her roughness. I need her to yell and tell me not to quit. I love the little speeches she gives while I'm working out. I love that she constantly tells me I'm worth it. Because I am. And so are you. By the way. Cardio 3 beat ou

Body Revolution Day 12 of 90

I did it! I survived 2 weeks of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution! I feel strong and accomplished. I did cardio today and burned 271 calories in the 27 minutes.  Tomorrow is a rest day, but I will still be walking on my treadmill. Am I only doing Body Revolution? No, I walk on my treadmill for 30 minutes every day in addition to Body Revolution. I am also doing the Couch to 5K program 3 days a week. On those days, I don't do 30 minutes walking on the treadmill, I just do the 28 or so minutes of Couch to 5K. So basically I get an hour of exercise a day. My exercise time is my "me" time and I've grown to love it so much and crave it. My kids are so sweet but they exhaust me. An hour a day of time to improve myself is something I really look forward to. So even though tomorrow is a rest day, I will be walking on the treadmill. Monday marks the beginning of workouts 3 and 4, and it also means I'm halfway done with Phase 1. My clothes are beginning to look looser. One s
