Boot Camp!

A friend of mine has been posting on facebook about this boot camp she is going to. So I decided to make my hubby go with me, since when ever I am a chicken he is my support.  I even had him go in and quit a job for me once. The ladies in the salon where so rude I wasn't about to go back in.  Anyway I have the best husband!  So we go to the college football stadium, there are all these people who are in shape and me?  First we head around the track, then up and down the bleachers!  I was dizzy and tried, but I kept going!  Then one minute of one exercise and 10 seconds rest, repeated three times. Then around the track again!  If I thought there was a place I would have thrown up!!!!!  I can already feel a change in my body, I am going to give this a good 90 days! 

Trying aTriathlon?

A race is always the best way to get my butt going.  I have always wanted to try a tri, and now I am going to get a great start.  I had my FUN friend call and ask me if I wanted to fill in for her biker for the Rage Triathlon.  My first thought was what if I get a flat tire?????  Well I am going to do it!  I have one week to make sure I am ready.  So I just have to ride 12.4 miles, I have done that a few times and I should be able to do it.  But the best part is I am excited to start working on doing a full triathlon.  I have the best example to motivate me.  When I signed up, I asked Josh (my Hubby) to do it with me.  He jumped in the pool and started training.  So now we need to find another one to sign up for.  SUPER excited!

The next thing that I am trying tonight is a boot camp.  Another friend has been going to a free boot camp at Dixie college, since I guess I need my friends to motivate me I am going to go get my BUTT KiCKED, I am so excited.....maybe I will throw up?  No more Junk food....time to get serious!!!!!! Hope I survive:0/

August 22nd

Day one went pretty good..

Went for a 2 mile walk jog?  Kalee road her bike, why is it that your kids love to ride Their bikes, until you want them to then they cry the whole time and say  when can we go back????  But we made it and I was able to jog. I just have to remind myself I am starting at square one, and it will get better.


Eating could have been better, but it could have been worse.   Sugar is not my friend, but I love it so much.  Starting tomorrow I am going to blog everything I eat, and all of my exercise.

The kids are all back to school so I really need to get organized with my time so I can do better. I am starting a new business, and am really enjoying it..now if I can just get control of my health life will be good. Let you know how I am doing...oh yeah I was cleaning my bathroom and threw my scale away, thought it was my old one??? So for now i am just going to work on my clothes getting big, then I will by a scale and see how I am doing.

Until tomorrow.....

Life is Hard, But there is a light!!!

                                                      Bothers supporting each other!!!!

                                                           It's all about time!!


So it's been a long time since I have posted, Life has been a challege.... The weight  journey has been going backwords:( boo!  I have got to find purpose again.  My kids have been my light, in helping me get through is hard time since my mom passes away.  It's hard to sign into a weight loss program, when I already know what I need to do, i just have to do it!!!!!  The kids are all in school, Kalee starts this week:), now I have to make the time to do what I need to do.   So here we go,,bought me a Nija, it makes great smoothies, got my bike (road, mountain, and spin),  Looking into a race my leg will let me run again, my mind is ready now there is no more excuses!!!!  Stay tooned!!!!

A New Life......

Hello Blogging world, it's been a long time.  It's hard to concentrate when your world is turned upside down.  So I have been trying to figure out what my problem is with my stomach, so I have started not eating any gluten.  And it has been helping,  I think maybe I have celiace disease that would explain all the stomach pain, and everything else I have been dealing with for the the last 5 yrs.  So I have been eating gluten free for two weeks, lost eight lbs (yeah), but I am starving....  What do people eat when they need a snack, besides fruit lol.  I am really going through some changes life really is revolved around food.  every thing we do I reward myself with a snack (sugar).  This morning I broke down and went to McDonald's and got a Coke and Egg Mcmuffin... came home and puked it up.  I guess I just had to test myself and remind myself that I really can't eat that kind of food anymore. So it is a blessing and a curse, but I will have to figure out a new way of life and hopefully feel better a long the way.  I will be looking for and posting recipe's I am going to try Wish me luck....

Happy Birthday Mom

Well I know my blog is suppose to be a weight loss blog, but given passed events I am finding all I really want to talk about is my mom.  Today is her 60th birthday we all joke and say she just didn't want to turn 60, but she was never one to care about her age, those of you that knew her know she was a lot younger than her age (not that 60 is old).  So in honor of her birthday I thought I would just share some of my memories of her.  When I was a little girl I remember her going to finish her college degree at SUU, she would take me with her, but I think it was because I was so knotty.  She tried to take me to her friends and I would run away to try to find her.  My Aunt tells me about her leaving me at her house and I would chase her down the road crying.  So that explains why I have the memories of her taking me to school with her.  She worked so hard at getting that degree I'm sure I would have just quit and said I couldn't do it because I had a little brat at home to take care of.  She finished school and then took me with her to tropic to do her student teaching, and she had to put me in her class?   Then I remember her teaching me in Second grade, we had lots of fun.  I was just talking to a friend and he was telling me how much he appreciated her, his family was having all kind of trouble at home and he was a troublemaker in class, and she still loved him and didn't treat him like he was a bad kid.

When I was in middle school I was still a little stinker, but I don't ever remember her yelling at me.  When I wanted to do horse back riding, she talked to her dad and he got me a horse.  My dad told us we would have to feed it and take care of it.  That was one of the fun things we would do, we couldn't really lift the hay so we would count to three and then lift, but we were usually laughing so hard we still couldn't lift it.  One day we didn't get the hay on very good and when we got to the main street the hay feel out of the truck, so we had to try to lift it in.  I always remember laughing so hard.

In high school of coarse we had fun.  All the boys in town thought my mom was so cool, so they would come over and hang out and we would watch movies all day.  She all ways made cinnamon rolls, and let us hang out as long as we wanted, now I know she just wanted to keep us home, and keep her eye on us. 

Raising five girls couldn't be easy.  Everyone always felt bad for my dad, but in our eyes my dad was the king of the world. But my poor mom had to try to get along with us.  She always went walking with us, we could talk and talk, sometimes we didn't even leave to go for our walks until 9 or 10 at night, rain, snow or shine.  I know I am to tired now to do that, but she always had time for us.

Then she was the grandma and mother-in-law.  Always there, to every birthday party, every ball game( or butterfly chasing in Jason's case).  She always wanted me to encourage my kids and husband, never let them know they weren't doing something perfect.  She always build us up.

A while back she had come to St.George shopping, we were setting in the car talking, and we saw these two ladies, they looked like a mother and daughter, but they were much older than us. We watched them and laughed and said that's going to be us in 20 years.  I wish it was....

I LOVE YOU MOM, HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Love, Sherrie
