Losing weight is not an easy process. If it were, we would all look like super models. We would all look like we never gave birth. I am completely amazed at women that lose all their weight and that have no hips. Before I had children I didn’t have hips. Then when I was pregnant with my daughter I got a spare tire for a stomach and hips in my legs. Now I feel like the shape of my body will forever be the shape it is now.

However, it’s just those last pounds that I want to lose. You know, If I were to lose 10 more lbs I would be the weight I was before I had children, If I lost 10 more than that I would be the weight I was in college. I would also be in the healthy weight range that some crazy chart in my OBYGN’s office said I needed to be in. For my height I’m supposed to weigh between 114 and 135. Crazy I think but I’ve seen people taller than me weigh in at 131. So it can be done.

This week my weakness was the coffee run. Before I went on my trip I had given up coffee runs and if I was having coffee I was only having one cup a day. So I was cutting out a ton of sugar. I failed my goals this week and yesterday I was feeling really badly about it but today I’m feeling much stronger about it and my goals. (It could just be the difference in the weather today)

We had our monthly weigh in at my MOMS Club and I did not lose any weight. I was 151.1. It was depressing, but one of the moms said I looked really skinny and that I needed to stop wearing baggy clothing and show off my stuff. So that was uplifting. Thank goodness for friends or we would all fail all the time.

My goal for next week is to give up the coffee runs, and go back to one cup a day. Also to increase the walking with my kids. I still find myself sitting too much. So Here we come next week to kick your behind.

The first part of my week I did not have any exercise. Except for the work it took to travel to Texas. I carried my diaper bag, back pack with my computer, held my daughter’s hand and strolled my son across the airport, until I was getting on the airport and I had to life my son, while he was in his car seat and carried it to the back of the plane. Can you picture this. I had to life him up over the seats and try to keep it above the seats so that I didn’t hit anyone with him. Then I threw him into the seat and had to find a way to take care of everything else. EEEK. My muscles are still hurting.

That was Monday!

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I did no exercise. Thursday I was in the car all day, oh wait, yes I did exercise yesterday. Once I arrived at Opryland I walked what feels like five miles going back and fourth from my room to the events here at BlissDom.

I passed out last night because my whole body was so tired. I think for the rest of the weekend I’ll be ok eating whatever it is that I want. There is so much movement going on here and lots more to do tonight. I’m having a great time. Seeing familiar faces and making new friends. Opryland is so large. I had no idea how big it is, there is a boat ride inside, a ton of stores, conference rooms and hotel rooms. I’m loving it.

I’m not sure that I’ve lost any weight yet, but my clothing is fitting. I’m wearing a pair of pants that I haven’t worn in three years so YEAH!! I’m so excited about that.

This weekend I’ll be walking everywhere and next week I’m getting back into my routine with my children. I need to get my kids walking with me again once they are feeling better. I know that walking will be great next week, well weather permitting. I think I’m randomly going from topic to topic about exercise. Good Luck with your fitness this week.
