Week Thirty-Six

Not much movement this month, only 172 even. Very busy. House is full. My back was killing me after scraping, sanding, and painting last week. I just spent 7 hours working on it today so I probably won't be able to walk tomorrow. I skipped my core and buns class this morning because I knew I couldn't hold up through the day if I did. I slept in instead and boy did I need it. Going to take a long hot bath now and hit the pillow. Hope I am able to move in the morning.

Week Thirty-Five

I had a good loss this week, at 172.6. The Zumba class is going good. Maybe it kicked my butt in gear. The core and buns class hurts like hell. I didn't think I was going to make through today. Then I had to come home and paint all day. I am exhausted right now

I did some shopping over the last couple days. Hit the sales and saved a lot of money
Got new coats for me, Brittany and Ayden. Got shoes and some clothes for me
I ended up donating all my clothes that are to big to Bon-Ton goodwill sale for 20% off coupons. I discovered I have no clothes. I guess there is no turning back now. For a minute I thought I should keep certain items in case I gain weight again. Talk about negative thinking.

Week Thirty-Four

Alright! 176.4, things are finally moving again. I bought a couple new workout outfits that actually fit me, which I think has boosted my self-esteem. I have to start a pot roast and head to my core and buns class. I kind of regret taking a Saturday morning class now. I really enjoy sleeping in a little on weekends whenever I can. Oh well it's only for two months. I also want to mention we started using the first batch of soap I made. Works great!

Week Thirty-Three

I know I am a day late. Probably because I had a bad week and was trying to put off the inevitable. Or maybe I was hoping for a miracle overnight. Reality bites. No miracle. I weigh 179.2. Not only no loss but a gain. I thought most of the week wasn't that bad but I did eat bread a few times. I cooked some meals for the family (Tuna noodle casserole, Mexican pie) and I ate some. I swear I has small servings! But I guess they were high in carbs and calories. Thursday was the day things really went wrong. We had a cookout and birthday party for Brandon. I ate hotdogs (most of the bun), mashed potatoes, potato salad, potato chips (only a couple), cake, and the worst was sugary sweet mixed drinks. On top of that I was so busy I only made it to Curves once this week. I did join a couple of workout classes at Tonawanda Aquatic and Fitness Center which started this week and run once a week through the end of October. The Zumba class is on Fridays after work. I did go to first one this Friday. It is an hour class and a good workout but not enough to counteract the week I have had apparently. The other class is called Core and Buns which is on Saturday mornings. That is only a half hour but she makes you feel the burn. I think I needed to mix things up a bit. I will probably cut down my Curves to three times a week.
