Eye of the Tiger

Whew! I did something today that I am so proud of...I stayed on the elliptical for 45 minutes, burned 696 calories, and went 3.6 miles! I have never ever done that! It was awesome. My best friend Pam, gave me the motivation to push it to 45 minutes. She is so great! I think I will try to keep that up for a little while, and then bump my time up to an hour. My clothes a fitting loose and my pants are really baggy, but I am trying to hold out on getting a new wardrobe until I'm like a size 18/20. My weight, after working out, was 340. I want so bad to weigh in tomorrow and the scale say 339. I am realizing, though, that I can't rush the process. I have a tendency to want things right then and there. I guess you could say I am compulsive to an extent. If there is a deadline, I like to start early, rather than procrastinate. That's because when I procrastinate, things won't get done until the last minute.
In other news, I got accepted into UCF! I will be majoring in Psychology/minoring in Film Studies there in the Fall. I am so excited! Orlando here we come! I feel really good about things.

40 lbs gone!!!

Bye Bye to 40lbs! This morning I stepped on the scale and to my surprise, I was down another pound! I am so excited about how fast and safe this weight is coming off. I really feel that come July, I will be in the 200's! I walked an hour yesterday though because I chewed a sliver of cake that I made, and then spit it out. LOL...
Mother's Day wound up having a good finish. DeAndre cooked me dinner, gave me a beautiful frame to put a picture of Kayla and I in, and gave me a new glass blender. It's digital too, so it's really cool. I can make my smoothies more often! Then he drew me a bubble bath with rose petals, and gave me a massage. I actually felt like a Queen! :) He also apologized. What a great ending to my First Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy mother's day! Well at least it should be a happy one. I have my health, people who care about me, and the Lord. However today has not been what I expected. I expected to relax, be made to feel like a queen. I should have known. A mother's work is never done. This morning, getting Kayla ready for church, I hurt my neck. Then while I was in Walmart I felt like my heel of my shoe was breaking, and my feet started to hurt. So I have a sore neck, sore feet, and hurt feelings. See, I received a $7 coupon for baby formula. This was going to be great considering how expensive formula is. However, at some point during my shopping, I lost the coupon. It's almost as if someone stole it. I wouldn't be surprised. I mean I retraced my steps twice! To make matters worse, I have the most frugal Husband in America, so needless to say he was not happy. I felt incompetent, and inept. It's just frustrating. I thought my mother's day would be going differently. Hopefully the rest of the day turns around.
On a side note, and what this blog is really about, I have now lost nearly 40 pounds. 2 more and I will be there! I can't wait to weigh in tomorrow.
