Andrea's February Journal!

[al09]

My name is Andrea, I'm 22 and I'm married with 3 kids.

I started my journey In April 2011. I weighed more than I ever had not pregnant in my life. I actually weighed just as much as I did the day I gave birth to my 3rd child.

I lost about 12 lbs and then gained it all back by October 2011. I restarted my journey at the beginning of November 2011 and so far I've lost about 15 lbs!

I'm very committed this time and have no plans of giving up at all.

I'm 5'0 and currently at 147 lbs. I started at 162. My goal is somewhere between 100-110 lbs, just depending on how I look when I get there. My goal by this summer is to be 120 lbs.

Here's a link to my other journal which was October-January:

Wow good start to your February :) I think you forgot to post.

[al09]

Weighed in at 147.4 lbs for the 1st day of February.

I've been bouncing around this weight for awhile now. I'll go up a little and then right back here. I'm not too upset about it...yet...because it is my lowest weight I've been in about a year and a half. If I'm here too much longer though I might get upset.

Did levels 1 and 2 of Jillian's yoga meltdown today. Exactly 60 mins of hardcore yoga :)

*update* Love when I get my workout in early in the day, then towards the end of the day I usually feel like doing more. So today... I did! I did p90x kenpo. 58 mins! Definitely got a good sweat out. It's one of my fav workouts. I just love it. I enjoy doing it. It's SO much easier for me now after doing Insanity...lol. I'm not standing there baffled by what the people are doing and gasping for breath during kenpo. ;)

146.8 this morning!

Good for you mama!  YAY!

[al09]

Good news... Yesterday I was down to my lowest weight in a very long time. I did have a rest day though since I was about due for one and I was pretty sore from working out 2 hrs the day before. I didn't really watch what I ate and I did make some pretty unhealthy choices. I knew I was doing it...I just feel like I need to eat whatever the heck I want somedays. *sigh* In my defense it is rare these days, as it used to be an every other day event.

Got up today. Weighed in at 149.0... obviously WAY up from the day before. Almost 3 lbs up! I got right up and worked out first thing this morning. Even before I had breakfast...which I almost never do. I did levels 1 and 2 of yoga meltdown which was a total of 60 mins. For lunch we were out and about and I really, really wanted chinese. I haven't had it in like 6 months, seriously... so we went. I didn't go TOO crazy... but I did have 2 plates full. I know that stuff is FULL of sodium pretty much no matter what you get and all those calories and sodium plus my unhealthy eating yesterday is not looking too good for my "official" weigh in of the week tomorrow.

Anyways. I'm back on track now and going to do my Insanity workout for the day here pretty soon. I'm going to have a light dinner that hopefully consists of little to no sodium at all... lol :/

Ok...got my 2nd workout in! Insanity cardio power and resistance. 39 mins.

Total of... 99 mins for the day! :)

[al09]

147.0 this morning.

Better than I expected...and still at a loss for the week!

I was 147.8 last Saturday... so not a huge loss... but still good after 2 days of not eating so great!

Great job mama!  Keep going!

[al09]

So far I've done Insanity pure cardio and cardio abs today. About 54 mins total.

Going to try to get another workout in when the kids go to bed. :)

Also...tried on a pair of size 7's today...just to see. Yep...not happening. Not yet. 8's are still pushing it. Sucks because I see changes and I have lost 15 lbs...but most of it has been in my waist and tummy area...not in my big problem area which is my thighs!!!

Great job mama!  I don't have much energy left after those two workouts!
