One Month Workout Challenge

I will list daily what my actual work outs are

but I wanted to outline what I will be doing.

I am going to try and blog my food and workouts daily.

For starters:

My weigh in this morning was 178.6lbs.

Measurements

NECK: 14"

CHEST: 39"

R. ARM: 12"

L. ARM: 12"

WAIST: 35.5"

HIPS: 43.5"

R. THIGH: 24.5"

L. THIGH: 24.5"

R. CALF: 15"

L. CALF: 15"

This workout begins Sunday January 22 and ends February 25.

Sundays: Legs, cardio & Pilates

Mondays: Biceps & Triceps, cardio & Pilates

Tuesdays: Shoulders & Back, cardio & Pilates

Wednesdays: Chest & Abs, cardio & Pilates

Thursdays: "Monday"

Friday: "Tuesday"

Saturday: "Wednesday"

Now, things will fluctuate a tad from time to time. I may choose to do a workout

video instead of pilates, or instead of cardio. The reason I do not have

a rest day is because one of the days during

the week I am not going to be doing a whole lot.

Plus, it's a one month challenge I created for myself.

My motivation:

Valentine's Trip Idea

I LOVE Valentine's day!

I just love the colors and spending a romantic day with my Fiance.

I must say, just about every day is Valentine's day to me.

My Fiance is just the most amazing man.

I am so grateful to have him in my life.

Last year we booked a suite at the Cove Haven Resorts.

We chose to stay at Paradise Streams in a room called the

"Garden of Eden Apple."

 Indoor Heated Pool!

 Comfy Round Bed.

 Heart Shaped Hot Tub

 "Living Room"

 Fire Place

A view of the outside

We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights.

We paid around $700.00

It includes and all-you-can eat breakfast buffet style.

On Tuesdays, you can have breakfast in bed.

They deliver it to you with a small bottle of Verdi.

Personally, the delivered breakfast was not as good as the buffet.

You were on your own for lunch, but you do have a fridge in your room and there is

a cafe that you can order from or go to. Plus, up the road was a Burger King and a few 

other restaurants.

Dinner was around 6:30, I think. There were certain foods to choose from 

for dinner, but there were feature dinners. The staff was amazing.

They were all friendly and we tipped well for it.

They also had night time entertainment.

The had appetizers in the lounge each night and you could order drinks

and there was usually some type of activity.

One night they had Wii Bowling.

Later in the evenings there was a band or a comedian. There was a game show one night and

it was males vs. females. That was fun!

 The lounge

 OMGoodness. That was me at my heaviest!

There were plenty of things to do off the resort.

We went horseback riding. That was eventful.

It was my first time, and probably my last.

Not because of the stable, just because horseback riding is not my thing. haha

 My horse "Cotton"

 Toby's horse. I think his name was Captain?

There was also a shooting range about 15 minutes away.

I fired my first gun. lol

I'm a big chicken because I don't think I'll do it again.

We visited the Stroudsburg Mall.

The Tannersville Outlets were about 20 minutes away.

The resort gives you coupons for them

I bought my first coach bag! haha

The Mount Airy Casino was nearby.

Cove Haven provided a shuttle to and from the casino.

Which was nice, so we could have a few drinks and not worry about driving.

All around it was a good trip.

I will definitely return again. We will probably stay at one of their other locations.

The other two are Cove Haven and Pocono Palace.

There is SO MUCH more to tell you about, but it might ruin the excite for some of you. lol

(I was not asked to make this review, I just wanted to share my experience, because it was a good one.)

New Workouts & Scale!

Today was my day off...FINALLY.

I decided to do a little shopping and I ended up at Wal-Mart.

I purchased 2 new workout DVDS, a scale and a Valentine wreath.

AND

I did the Level 1 in Killer Buns & Thighs.

Honestly, I could not keep up with the beginner in the video. haha

Good workout though!

My Valentine Wreath!

I love Valentine's Day.

This year Toby & I have reservations at Don Shula's Steakhouse

and then most likely staying overnight at the Sand's Casino hotel!

Super Excited!

Food, Food and Food?

It's been a LONG time since I have posted anything, but I am starting to get in the mood to blog again, 

so let's see how long this lasts!

I have been monitoring how I eat the last week and a half.

I have lost 3lbs. I will take it.

These leaves me at 174lbs, down from 202lbs in March of 2011.

I have been getting my water intake up, it's not easy for me.

I just never liked the taste of water.

So yesterday I logged my food for the day..

I was SO full, I felt like I overate and was like "Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow"

After I logged it, I see that I didn't eat enough!?

Seriously?!

I don't think I could have eaten anymore than I did!

(CLICK THE PHOTO ENLARGE!)

I signed up at Planet Fitness on Friday because my gym (Gold's) has closed for a remodel

that isn't supposed to be done until April.....

I went for the first time yesterday. It was a tad crowded, but not crazy....

What KILLED me, is they have like 5 bowls of tootsie rolls sitting out?

I just did the treadmill for 25 mins, not pushing it because my back has been

in very bad pain the last week..I don't know why!?

Burned 175 calories, better then nothing.

Well take care, for whoever reads. lol!

So sad,,,

It is so very sad that I have NO TIME to blog. I want to!
I do have the time to quick post on Facebook...

Weight and a YUMMY green smoothie

So my fiance finally bought me a scale.

I want/need to get re-focused and a scale helps me a ton.

I don't like the one at the gym because it is out in the open.

My weigh in was................ 177lbs.

Now I started at 202 in March. I fell off the wagon around June and haven't worked out up until last week, so I'd say I am pretty happy that I kept the weight off!

My goal is around 135 by October 2012.

NOW on to this yummy healthy green smoothie I found,

I totally have no idea what blog I was reading when I wrote this down,

so I can't give credit, BUT I can say it wasn't mine :)

Ingredients:

1 banana

1 cup frozen mixed fruit

1-2 cups of spinach

1 cup water

Ice

Hope you enjoy!

Wedding date is OFFICIAL!

So I am sooooo excited to announce that our wedding will be on OCTOBER 20, 2012 :)

Makes me one happy girl.

Will be discussing the details on Thanksgiving with my parents!

Means one thing, continuing this weightloss battle of mine!

I'm being a hot bride, or I am not getting married.

haha...

I do NOT want to look back at the photos and see a cow!

Trying to get back to blogging, as you can see.

Baby steps...

Take care!

I am so horrible!

So, I have been totally slacking on the blogging end of my life...

My mind has just drawn a blank on what to write about.

Let's see..

I haven't worked out in like 3 weeks.

I only gained back 2 pounds.

I got hired by Crossmark and started last Tuesday.

I went from sitting around all day, to running around like a headless chicken 40+hours.

Let me tell you, MY FEET HURT!

This job will help out with the weightloss department.

There is no way that I won't lose at least 5lbs from this job alone.

I am lifting all day, carrying things, literally on my feet for 7 hours walking/standing.

My fiance and I are thinking about moving to Texas.

We have both wanted to live there, and he could transfer with his job to Coppell.

My job is state-wide, so I wouldn't have any issues.

Anyone live in Texas?

Any advice?

I don't know about all of you, but I have been picnicing like crazy,

weekend after weekend or BBQ's and parties!

Well that's all for now :)
