Hey everyone! This morning I finally got my keester out of bed and exercised. To prepare last night I added a bunch of workouts to the instant queue on netflix, then I watched the one I wanted to try start to finish without doing it. Crunch: cardio salsa. It looked really fun, and a few of the moves were very familiar. So I put it on this morning and I discovered that my coordination at 7:20am is lacking greatly! I switched to a yoga workout. Which I had done before, it is very beginner, and very relaxing. I enjoyed it, but I think I need a workout with a little more oomph. I'm looking forward to my netflix dvd getting here next week I have quite the assortment in both dvd queues. Here's a list, feel free to comment on any you may have tried.
DVD Queue
1. Jillian Michaels: 30 day shred- this is going to kick my butt! I'm looking forward to it though. Once I have mastered the whole thing I plan to send it back and move on. I will do that with all the workouts I like.
2.The Biggest Loser: Weight loss yoga
3. Leslie Sansone: Walk your belly fat
4.Dance Fitness for beginners-Joby Brava
5.Jillian Michaels for beginners: Backside- I'm looking forward to the frontside of this workout becoming available on netflix.
6.The Biggest Loser: The Workout: Cardio Max Weight Loss
7. The Biggest Loser: The workout: power walk
8. Jillian Michaels: Yoga Meltdown
9. Jillian Michaels: No more trouble zones
10. Yoga Booty Ballet: Complete discs 1-3 -This just plain looks like fun. I always wanted to learn ballet as a kid, I guess that's never really gone away.
11.Trainers Edge
12. The trainers edge: Fiesta Fitness Dance
13.Ballet Conditioning
My Instant queue is rather long, but it is mostly Crunch workouts, and a few misc yoga workouts.
I am doing the dvds because I really need to step up my game if I'm going to make it to my goal in less than 10 weeks. On Wednesday my weigh in was 202.8, down .4 from Monday. Which is great, but not enough to cut it. To be on track with my goal I need to weigh in at 200 this coming Monday. My new workouts are going to make a significant difference, and I'm looking forward to seeing results from it. The other thing I am doing is a 2 day detox on Saturday's and Sunday's every weekend until I reach my mini goal. I think I've mentioned this 2 day detox before, it's very simple and easy to follow. And here's the best part, effective!
I want to get to my ultimate goal as healthy and quickly as possible. Because the step after that, and maybe the hardest part will be learning to maintain my weight. Thats the real challenge I think, keeping this going throughout my life.
Here is my stat update
Week 2
Lost: 0.4 (as of Wednesday)
To Mini Goal: 23.8 lbs
Current weight: 202.8
Measurements
Old Bust: 45" - New Bust: 44" =Lost: 1"
Old Waist: 41" - New Waist: 38" = Lost 3"
Old Thigh: 26" - New Thigh: 25" =Lost 1"
Old Hips: 50 - New Hips: 47 = Lost 3"
For a total of 8" lost in 5 weeks.
I'm very excited about that, but I'm also ready to really step things up. Because the reality is, I've been lazy about my exercise. I think it was okay, because I took the last few weeks to really get my eating plan down, and be adjusted and used to it. I'm ready for another change, and more hard work!

mm mm mm Doritos!
Over the last couple of weeks I have had some successes, but I've hit some challenges as well.
Success:
This week I had a loss of 1.8lbs on the scale, I'm back to 214lb.
I'm feeling good, and I've gotten back in the habit of drinking all my water.
I am eating pretty healthy meals, while still apeasing my hubby's preferences. I am opting to put my chicken fingers in the oven instead of in the fry daddy. Or my chicken quesadillas in the oven instead of a skillet with oil. I did not eat a French Bread Pizza with him last night.
The measurements of my waist has gone down. My arms went up, not sure how the worked out but it did.
Here's the one I am most excited about! I mentioned previously buying a belt, well about a week ago I bought a pair of size 16 Levi's. I put the belt in them last week and instead of the second hole, I found the 4th! I am so excited to be using the 4th hole in my belt instead of the second!
Now for my Challenges.
Bingeing. That's a word I don't like to think about, and haven't really admitted to either. On Sunday I arrived home from church, I was hungry. I had and orange, and a couple of other healthy choices. Then my husbands food was ready, a plate of cocktail weenies, and some fritos with cheese dip. I ate 3 bowls of chips, one of doritos and two of fritos. I enjoyed both spinach dip, and salsa.
A little background, I got married to an American, and we decided that we needed to live where he is from in Alabama. We have suffered through immigration proceedings, waiting, paying fees, and further stress for nearly two years now. It's exhausting, and the stress is unbelievable. I feel like these strangers have my life, my marriage, and my future all in their hands. That said, yesterday I got an email from the National Visa Center, that is currently handling our petition asking for me to file another form. Which in turn requires me to file my husbands taxes for 2010. I was very stressed because our important papers were not filed. I knew there was just a pile on a shelf in the closet I would have to sift through. I did end up getting all that sorted and filed. And I felt better for awhile, but then I started thinking about the ordeal of filing my husbands taxes in a few hours. I started for feel hungry and then a little shaky. So what snack did I reach for? Doritos, I'm honestly not sure how big of a serving I had, but I know it was way too much!
Last night while I worked on taxes from 6:30pm until nearly 11pm, including being on hold with the IRS for over an hour, I did not snack! I wanted to, but I resisted. I still don't think I made up for how I ate earlier, but I am trying.
My other challenge, I haven't been exercising in the morning. I want to, but I'm so tired, stressed, and in the mornings my body hurts. I got some yoga programs saved to my netflix, but I haven't tried them yet. I'm hoping to have a better handle on this in a few days. I'm still trying, I did walk for a little over a mile on saturday just because it was nice out.
