Camp differences...

 2012 Girl's Camp

2007 Girl's Camp - 50 lbs heavier.

2007-2008 was when I was at my all-time high weight.  And I seriously looked like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.  I still have 30 more pounds to get down to my mission weight, another 30 to get down to what I used to think my ideal weight would be and another 20 or so pounds to be at what I think my ideal weight will be now.  That's another 80 pounds.  That's a lot of work, but the difference in these pictures really shows me what a difference every pound makes.

I've been really bad the last 2 weeks.  Birthday parties, family visiting, and being busy with camp and stuff has made me exercise maybe twice....the whole 2 weeks.  That's bad.  And I haven't been tracking my calories.  Incredibly enough, I haven't gained anything, but I'm sure my muscles are losing their strength a bit.  Anyway, I'm going to definitely get back on track tomorrow.  Tracking calories, running on the treadmill, and just generally being healthier.

I really liked all the good, not-so-good for me foods these last 2 weeks, but I feel sick, I don't feel happier, and I'm ready to start losing weight again.

Wish me luck.  :)

Today

Today, I did 1.5 miles on the treadmill.  I walked a total of .5 miles and ran 1 mile.  Yippee.  Now I stink.

Homer said it...not me.

So I feel wierd blogging on here because I have been so bad about exercising but I actually did something today and it's not even 10:30. :) It seems pitiful compared to what (I just started spelling what -waht and then when I went to fix it I spelled it whate......anyway) Karen does. You are definatly so much better at all of this then I am but a starts a start. I really have to exercise almost everyday. So this morning I did Taebo. Or should I say most of Taebo. I didn't do the double time kicks (never do) and I stopped a few times but overall I did most of it and I am sweaty.

Since it is hot I was wearing my stretchy pants and a sports bra. So the pants kept slipping down and the bra kept riding up off my stomach. Half way through I caught a glimpse of myself in the tv........in case you didn't know seeing your stomach rolls bounce around is not exactly thrilling.

It reminds me of a quote from the Simpsons....Homer - "Look at that blubber fly!" Someday.....that blubber will be blubbering....because it will be gone. :) I know...that was lame. :)

1.54

I lost 1.54 pounds this week, and have felt pretty good.  I wish it were 15.4 pounds but that's not feasible.  :) 
I walked on the treadmill a couple of days, ran yesterday, and tracked my calories and was good about what I ate.

This Week

I lost 2.42 pounds this week!!!  We had pizza twice this week, plus cake and ice cream of course.  It wasn't a banner week for fitness, but not horrible either.  I got some Dancing With the Stars cardio dvds from the library and am going to try those out this week, as well as more walking and running.  I really need to get the jogging stroller out and run with the kids around the neighborhood.  I'm just feeling lazy about that.  I was looking in the mirror today and thinking how fun it will be to be skinny.  I've never been, and it will be interesting to see what my body and face will look like.  It's weird that there's a fit person in there, trying to get out.  It's really hard to stay focused sometimes, and I definitely slip up sometimes, but I'm so grateful I started this whole weight-loss journey, because it has really made me happier and has gotten me more focused on other parts of my life.
