You can't tell from this picture really but the bathing suit is too tight and there for my fat bulges over the side. And I didn't show the back view, which is really where I need the work. I would also like to have some abs!

Day 2

I promise, photos will be added this afternoon. I just haven't had the time to get them uploaded and don't have them here with me at work today.

Day 2 (yesterday) kicked my butt!

First day wasn't so bad. Got weighed and measured and timed our mile, did a few twenties and we were done!

Yesterday, totally different experience. I guess they don't call it bootcamp for nothing. We did so much that I can hardly remember what all it was called. My legs were jello before the first 30 minutes were up. I can say I have had my fill of squats, that's for sure! It is still an awesome experience and I am enjoying it! I feel so much better after my workout!!!

Although, I woke up this morning and could hardly move a muscle! No Pain, No Gain! Right? Ha, that's laughable at this point.

I don't know if I will be going today yet. I really don't want to go to the 5:30 class because of how many people attend that one. We shall see....I know, No Excuses!! But.....ok no buts....just not sure yet. If I go, I'll update on how Day 3 went....if I survive!!!

Get FIT!!!

Today starts day one of bootcamp. Well kinda! Day one is measuring and weighing and a small workout if there is time but we still have to eat right though. We have all tried so many things, all for different reasons, from losing weight to more energy, and nothing has really worked. So on to bootcamp we go! Others have been getting excellent results and gosh darnit, I need to be bikini ready in a month and I plan to be! I'll be blogging our progress along the way (well, as long as I can lift my arms to type, I will) along with some of our meals and exercises. My fellow "support group" members are: Tricia Zwahr (my mom), Beverly Bennett (my aunt), and Tuttie Stiewert (my aunt). Hoping to get a few of the others to let me blog their progress also....we will see.

I will be uploading our before pictures this afternoon....

The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends. ~Author Unknown



I recently had my annual physical examination, which I get once every seven years, and when the nurse weighed me, I was shocked to discover how much stronger the Earth's gravitational pull has become since 1990. ~Dave Barry

A home?

We got to go and look at the house last night. It is on the small side but will definitely work for us. We said long before we looked at it that we would have to add on and in a couple of years, thats what we will do. I am super stoked! Now all we have to do is secure the loan and we will be on our way to home ownership, again. This is definitely what we need. A place to call home. And I am looking forward to blogging our journey along the way!

I see decorating in my near future!!! YAY!
