Day 18

Day 18 ~ went 1.63 miles in 30:06mins I did the 12% grade for 13mins man oh man it really kicked my butt, I know i say that every time but it really does kick my butt. I'm so proud of my self for staying on this workout thing. I'm really worried I'm not going to have the time in NYC to work out so I might just do jumping jacks or something in the hotel room here and there. The only reason why i say this is cause they sent us an email telling us they are going to have us super busy and we need to rest up before we get there lol i know right.. I'm stressed out cause my house is not shinny clean and i still have a few more things to pack and yeah rest isn't happening today maybe tomorrow on the plain if i can handle my nerves lol. Well I better be going have a ton of things to do today :) Love ya all and will miss you while I'm gone. Maybe i can try to blog from NYC if i have time to do that :)

Day 11

Day 11 ~ walked at a slower pace today. My brother came over to my house yesterday and we got talking about working out and he challenge me to do a goal for today. I told him I would and all I can say it it really truly kicked my butt lol thanks Eric :) So I went 1.64miles in 30:06 (I guess I wasn't that much slower) The goal was to walk at 12%grade for as long as I could. So I thought about this last night and thought well I dont want to hurt my body in any way so I came up with going a grade % for every song that plays. So this morning I got on the treadmill and did what i pained. Well at 15 mins. I was only at 5% so I thought for every min. I will go up a % and when I hight 12% I staied there for 5 mins. So I had 5 mins left and then for every min I went down 2% grade. My legs was killing me and burning just like my brother said they would and I also burned 100 more cals doing this. I fell really good other then I fell like i have dead legs lol I also fell like I pushed myself as hard as my I could go :)

Day 10

Day 10 ~ went 1.72 miles in 30:08 mins. It was a good workout kids where down stairs playing a video game :) I feel like I'm still going slow but I guess its just going to take my body longer to get faster. I know with the weight it slows me down and makes my body hurt more cause of the weight. But I will fight for it and it will be wroth the fight.

90 Days To Go..

Day 9

Day 9~ Went 1.70 miles in 30:13 mins with doing the 2% & 3% grade.  1/2 way I had to pee so bad and I was doing 1/2 the workout with a full bladder oh and it was killing me. So I didn't think about how the grade was doing on my body lol. I'm just hoping I get some energy cause I need to clean my house today and for some reason since I have been working out I have been so sleepy.

Day 7

Day 7 ~ went 1.70 miles in 30:07 mins. The last 10 mins I got a really bad pain in my right lower leg, I guess like a charlie horse.  I just keep telling myself to walking it off. I just hope that I burned some mega fat while walking that pain off lol. Well I better go get ready for church. I know today is a day of rest but if I take one day off I will not get back on this wagon. So I have to be hard on myself and push myself the hardest my body can go. That's why I'm a little worried for Dec 6th-8th because I'm going to New York with Wounded Warrior Project for a writing retreat. I'm hoping we have some time to our self's so I can get a workout in.  If not I guess I will just have to get up earlier or go to bed later :)

93 Day's To Go..

Day 6

Day 6 ~

    Today was a little hard with the kids home and every 5 mins they where trying to talk to me and wanting something from me ugh why do they make it so hard to workout? Any ways I went 1.70 miles in 30:12 mins.  Hoping to get up before the kids get up tomorrow so I can get a good headed workout in :) I also weighted in yesterday and I lost 1.2 lbs. I was so happy with my self and then Blake comes in and say I lost 3 lbs. It got to me and I told him he sucked lol.. I have been working out and I lose 1.2 lbs and all he is doing is drinking a energy drink and loose 3 lbs. Not far at all. I just don't understand I workout and eat small amounts drink water and its just so much harder for me I hope I can turn this mood into a better one. I am very happy with my 1.2 lbs. and will keep on my 100 days of working out.

94 days to go :)

Day 5

Day 5 ~ Went 1.71 miles in 30:30 mins. I was faster today but I can still feel my body going slow and very heavy. I love the feeling of your body after a workout it's crazy to feel that blood pumping lol I know im crazy you dont have to tell me :) + I get told that a lot.. I just wish it didnt hurt so bad to workout. I know once I lose more weight it wont hurt so bad and I will get faster :) So heres to small goals and losing weight :)

Day 1 of my 100 day workout

Hey everyone,

   Well I just wanted to say that I'm starting my 100 days of working out again I know i should have never stopped working out. Well life got to busy and I stopped taking care of my self so here I go again :) I want to make small goals and do better this time around.

Day 1 ~ went 1.7 miles in 30:06 mins. Walking/fast walking I want to build up to running. I will post a day 1 pics soon

Stress/Happiness

So I have to say I have been pretty stressed because of the government shut down. Because that's where our income comes from. But I've been trying really hard not to think about it and find the good in life :) well Sunday was my birthday and it was a good lazy birthday, watched conference, then went to my grandmas & moms house for dinner and birthday cake. Got to see my brothers, sister-in-laws, nieces and nephews. It's always really nice to spend time with family it gets your mind off the stress in life I think. 

     Then Monday was Mine and Blake's dateing anniversary, 18 years we have been together. We have had our ups and downs but I wouldn't change anything we have gone through :) I love this man more then I can put into words.

      Then today (Tuesday Oct. 8, 2013) Blake and I went to go clean the Manti Temple. It was an amazing experience. We got to feel the spirit while cleaning which is crazy I know. We got to get a great work out (that I can definitely feel tonight), a history lesson, and look at all the amazing things in the temple. It was an awesome way to spend my birthday/anniversary. I also got a job application to work at the Temple:) It would be a drive for me, but I think I would really enjoy it. 

 <3 y'all and good night & thanks for reading my life stories
