Well, Well, Well! Here I am again....

I have been doing a TON of thinking about my journey and how it plays into my life. The truth is, I am super busy right now. I haven't been tracking daily on SparkPeople. I still weigh about the same as I have for the past year. Would I like to get out of the 120's? Yes! Do I still feel I HAVE to weigh 109? No! My body is pretty small right now. Well, everywhere but the abs/love handles. The number is messing with my head a little, but that has to stop.

All of this weight thinking HAS. TO. STOP. NOW!

I am currently a size 4(27). I would like to get into a size 2(26). I am really close, but my tummy region needs some help!

Enter this gorgeous woman!

I am going to let Miss Michaels help a girl out! I did the 30 day shred for about 10 days or so a while back and then quit, but a few days after I quit, I noticed that my arms looked great...and so did my legs, butt and abs. Damn! Why did I quit? I stopped making it my priority to get it done. I got bored.

But...


I caught "The Shred" fever again and this time I decided to combat the boredom with some Pandora and used the power of the "MUTE" button.

Tonight, I am going to have my lovely man take measurements and "before" photos! I will start the DVD tonight. We'll see what the next 30 days bring.

What is My Issue?

This weekend it was like I was a 175 pound girl all over again. Luckily, the scale hasn't shown my actions. I have been following my 1/2 marathon schedule, plus some extra cardio time. So, we will just say I found a good balance. However, I want to get on the losing streak again. I am determined to get to my goal!

This week, I am going to change it up slightly. I would really like to work on strength training. I am going to start off with the 30 day shred for 30 days and some 6 weeks 6 pack abs thrown in. I will do Jillian Michaels' Yoga Meltdown on Sunday's. 

I have been keeping my 1/2 training page up to date daily. I like that it keeps me accountable and it truly motivates me to do my best so I can show people how I am becoming the fittest person I can be.

In other news, I have officially been a member of 24hour fitness for 1 month. I have gone 18 times in 30 days. Although I am not happy with that number, it could have been worse. I would like to be going 5-6 days a week. So, I am working on that. Let's see how next month goes, shall we?

What has your weekend been like? Are you more prone binge on weekends?
