CHESTer

Tomorrow is December 14th, exactly 3 months from when I started this project.  I will stop by the Doctors office tomorrow to weigh in on their scale to see if I am decreasing the population of Bootyville and Tummy Town.  I will have to tell you I discovered a new place called "Chester"  I know for sure CHESTer has lost some of its population...remember when I said my underwear was relieved?  Anyway, my husband may accuse me tomorrow of trying to kill him, we both did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred dvd and I heard him huffin' and puffin'....tomorrow morning I may just get a little chuckle to start my day!

Darn It!

I did it again....exercised and forgot to blog about it.   I really, really, get aggrevated at myself when I do that.  I had a friend come over and we spent all day, from 10 am till 11:00 pm sewing on projects and cooking.  It was so much fun!  She brought her pressure cooker over to show me how it works and she made a roast in it.  We had roast, potatoes, asparagus, and salad.  It was a meal to die for!  While she was doing a second cooking project, I did a 30 minute walk dvd and after my exercise I went to the kitchen to take a peek at the results...I told you earlier I was easily distractable!  The next time my friend comes over to sew I will tell her I am not really famliar with how a crock pot works......

Tired

 Feeling tired, I put in the Pilates with Band dvd and did a 30 min workout at about 9:30 pm.  I really have no thoughts to give you about it right now...I am too tired...

Progress

Wow! I had alot of energy tonight!  After Survivor aired, I put a chocolate cake in the oven, and did a 45 minute walk dvd (4 Big Miles).  My husband joined me, which is always a kick.  he always has the most bored look on his face while going through the motions.  I breezed right through the 4 miles and felt like I still had enough pep in my step to do a fifth!  I think some of the other cardio intense routines (Jillian's Shred, and Steve Maresca's Make-Me-Over) have conditioned me a little farther...so, now I say... "Bring It ON!!"

Change Your Focus

Why do we associate the holidays with eating?  I would venture a guess that in the olden' days your food was a little more special on a holiday, than the daily mush.  However, today, our food is pretty special on a daily basis and we still center our holiday around the meal and special treats.  Is there another way to pull off a holiday without all the munching, crunching and belching?  I am going to try to keep my thoughts off the treats and on the real reason we gather together.  Tonight, I did a 30 min.walk dvd while I was changing my focus.

Prep and Landing

30 min bike

Make Me Over

I did the Make-Me-Over workout on Exercise tv tonight with Steve Maresca. I used to think the Biggest Loser workout was a tough one, but I would have to say this one was over the top.  Steve loves squats but I do not!  I worked out really hard, then my husband came home late, with dinner...pasta, lasagne, pasta, salad...and french choclate silk pie...  I was so hungry, and although I knew it was late (9:30 pm), I started with the pasta and green salad (good start, right?)...I went onto the lasagne, followed by more pasta, and a topper of chocolate pie.  I felt betrayed by myself and stupid.  Make me over...make me over, which way do you want to go????
