HOOOOOLLLYYYYYY COW! I did the Turbo Jams Cardio Party last night and MAN OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MAN is my back side feeling it TODAY!!! Dang... there are muscles back there that I'm not sure I knew about before... DAANNNNG! It's a good feeling but I think I'll have to do Cardio Party every other day this week to ease into it. I have 6 more lbs to loose by May 1 to hit my goal and I have until May 1 to do 7 days straight of Cardio Party so... I think I have my work cut out for me!
In other news today will be filled with preparing for the week ahead. Laundry and Yard Work and Grocery Shopping are top priority for the day. Before any of that can happen though, I'm watching the newest Disney Movie... Princess and the Frog!
In Mazda news, we continue to struggle with her separation anxiety. We purchased a pheromone infuser that is supposed to release a pheromone that is secreted by Mother dogs to make their pups know they are safe and at ease. I'll keep you posted on how it goes!

Slow Learner...
So for years I've dieted and I have kept it a secret or maybe let 1 or 2 people know I was trying to loose weight... that way... if/when I failed... I didn't have anyone asking me questions or steering me back on track... So this time around... I'm telling everyone. The more people that know, the more people I am now accountable to. Should have thought about that a LONG time ago...
Today was a great day... I'm hovering at about 1180 calories w/ 38 fiber. I hit the gym after work with my new polar heart monitor watch. I was able to burn 373 calories in 30 mins. This is way more calories then what the treadmill said I was burning so... keep that in mind... maybe that is not an accurate reading.
I'd say the one downfall is probably that you have to wear a strap around your chest and get it damp before you put it on. All in all not a huge downfall. It was kind of fun. I'm excited to learn more about it and use it more. Tmw... must burn at least 374 calories...
In other news... I picked up some VitaTops from the grocery store based on a recommendation from Hungry Girl. I got the deep chocolate.... YUM. 100 Calories, 1.5 Fat, 21 Carbs, 3 Protein, and 6 Fiber. Check them out they are yummy and there are many flavors... I found them by the Vegetarian foods in the frozen section at Super T.
Also, tonight I made some cut up chicken breasts with a boat load of mushrooms with some BBQ sauce... weighing in at 144 Calories per 4 oz's... it was amazing and I had 8oz!
That's all for today! Did you meet your goals today?

Back on Track!
Ahhh! Today was a fantastic day!! I started with an 8:00 am Mall walk with Jessi, my mom, and my Aunt Laura. We are all at different paces in our work outs but it was great to know that other I knew were there with me! I walked for a full hour... I can't tell you how much I LOVE working out!
Today I was able to stay at at just over 1200 calories... This I consider a huge accomplishment because I went to lunch at PF Changs with my friend Teresa!! I scoped out the PF Changs nutrition guide online. I went with my game plan and stuck with it. I got Kung Pao Chicken minus the peanuts because... really who needs that fat? I divided it into 3 servings at ate only 1 of the three! I also added a bowl of hot sour soup... they have the BEST. I also tried just a piece of Teresa's Pepper Steak... That will be my next meal there :) All and all I was able to eat at my most favorite place for 463 calories!!! Holler!
I also stopped by TD's to pick up my new polar heart rate watch! More to come on that....
For now it's time to prepare for another busy work week! The game plan is mall walking over lunch and then 1/2 hour work outs after work before I come home.
Keep up on your goals!

Middle of the Week
I've made it through Wednesday! What a great feeling. Did 35 mins at the mall over lunch... I really pushed myself today and it felt great!!! I made chicken fajitas for dinner!! They were tastey as always!
I managed to stay at 1342 calories today and max out my fiber and water and I'm still a bit hungry but today... I kind of feel like that's ok... My brian and body can think it's hungry but... I've given in everything it needs today.
For someone who usually eats when they are bored and whenEVER they "feel" hungry... the statement above is a great step. I touched base with my Aunt Gayla, she really is the true deffinition of a halthy lifestyle.... she's my inspiration and my role model! She introduced me to a great website today! http://www.hungrygirl.com/
Check it out! Lots of great info!. Today I also took another fitness step and joined the gym at my work. 50.00 for the year... can't pass that up! I'm blessed to have so many people cheering me on!
My hubby has even gotten on bored and loves this "diet". Today was a day with a lot less frustrations and I'm feeling really great about my choices and my commitment make sure I exercise with out the dvd's or the wii actibve until I have a proper way to measure my improvement AND for learning PORTION CONTROL... ahhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhh Portion Control... I think you all know what popular The artist formally known as Prince...now I think he's just the artist?? that the melody I just sang with that comes from!!
Until tmw! Think Thin and Fit!
And no spell check... lame! <3

Frustration
Today was full of sucess and frustration. I went to Ruby Tuesday's for dinner and managed to stay at 1538 with an ice cream treat, a steak, 1/2 baked potato w/ butter, and mushroom! Holler!
I also took my lunch hour to go power walk to the mall with my mom. It felt great. My frustration comes in excercise... I don't mind exercising... I love it infact but, I can't afford to buy a treadmil, a gym membership isn't in the monthly budget, and it's winter. TD says that DVD's and Wii Active DO NOT WORK. I respect what he's syaing... he's the professional but... his answer to be able to measure improvement for at home work out is... to buy a calorie heart monitoring watch at 90-150 bucks... So what I heard in my head was... the answer is to spend more money. WTF dude? I totally get that you should improve on what you do every day. I'm actually very knowledgeable about work outs and nutrition despite my current health status. I guess to me... it would make sense if your doing a DVD that you are doing something to push yourself harder ever day and trying to improve and change. He' is saying that people do not do that and thier body gets bored.
I guess the answer is to suck it up and buy the watch and move on 150 dollars it improve your health is not a lot compared to 30-50 bucks for a gym membership or dropping the $$ on an expensive piece of gym equipment but... none the less I'm irritated.
That's all for day!
