Weigh in 1.31.12, Joining the YMCA

Ugh so my site was down yesterday (in the process of looking for new hosting) hence no weigh in. I will post my stats today.

 

Stats

Highest post pregnancy weight: 278
Last week’s weight: 271.5
This week’s weight:269
Total weight lost this week: 2.5
Total weight loss: 9lbs

 

Last week was great. I don’t know if I mentioned before but I signed the family up the YMCA. They were having a special to pay no joiner fee so Tony and I decided to join. The boys love to swim and play basketball etc and they just re-did the fitness area. It was a win win. When you sign up they give a a free GET STARTED appointment along with 2 personal training sessions. My GET STARTED appt was for friday after work. It was great, I explained to the guy that I already know about nutrition and I just want to learn to add strength training into my routine. So we went through all the upper body machines and he showed me good form for each. He also talked to me about getting in other cardio because he felt like Zumba wasn’t “enough”. I had to explain to him that he’s never taken my Zumba classes. Both my teachers do their own choreography so it’s way more intense than other classes I have gone to. Either way he invited me to take his spin class. Which I may do. I took spin way back and I liked it.

I stayed under my calories everyday except Saturday. We went to one of our fav restaurants and yea ate without worry. We didn’t over-indulge it was just food we don’t eat on a daily basis. It was so good. I had no regrets. Xander was the LIFE of the party. All the waitresses came over to “talk” to him. The big boys watched the All Star Hockey game and played tic-tac-toe. It was a great night.

A few non-scale victories:

I ran for a mile (again) (getting back into running has been tough)

100 consecutive squats (on my way to 200! yippee)

 

Hoping this week is as great as last week.

Creepin’ on a come up

I’m baaaaaaack.

Time flies! I seriously cannot believe that 6 weeks has already passed.

I gave birth to my son Xander Amir on Sept 16th @ 7:10pm after 17 hours of pretty easy labor. Since I seemed to get huge in the last month everyone thought he would be a big baby but he was born weighing 7lbs 9oz with a full head of hair.

Recovery was easier than my first son. By the 3rd week I felt back to pre preggo self. I was actually in one of my best friends wedding 1 month after giving birth, that’s how great I felt. Since I am breastfeeding the weight has literally melted off. As of my 6 week checkup I am only 15 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight.

I am going back to work in 2 weeks which makes me incredibly sad since Xander will still be quite young. Great thing about the situation is that he will be watched by his grandmothers during the week until hopefully he turns 1yr.

With all that I will be making the transition into exercise
again. One of my bffs purchased the Zumba game for wii so I’m going to try that and hopefully within the next 2 -3 weeks actually start real Zumba again. Since it’s quite cold now I will not be running outside again until at least April. My treadmill will hopefully become my best friend again.

I’m also going to be working on the blog. Changing the layout and maybe even the focus. Basically everything is in transition.

I just wanted to stop in and update whomever still follows my blog to let you know all is well and I will return. Oh and pics of baby Xander will be posted soon.

Fake it ’til you make it

**I intended to write this post Monday as a intro to the week but life,work and general laziness got in the way so I guess this is a recap of my week.

My mindset this entire week has been “Fake it til you make it”. I’m still not my 100% enthusiastic self when it comes to healthy living but I cannot go into the new year the way I have been living the past three weeks. I refuse! I have had a great year of weight loss/healthy living and I refuse to start 2011 on the wrong foot. So even if I am faking it come new years eve/ new years day at least I am making an effort to change my attitude. My focus isn’t on general weight loss but on living a happier, healthier life (and hoping to get some weight loss out of it). Just because if my heart isn’t in it I don’t feel like their weight will come off period…or at least won’t come off easily which will probably lead to some whole other issues.

So far this week my FITIMI mantra has been working quite well:

Monday: 45 mins of Tae Bo as weel as tracking all my meals

Tuesday: Tracked all food and a rest day (ate within my caloric range)

Wednesday: 1 hr 10 mins Zumba class and all food tracked

Thursday: 50 mins Zumba class and all food tracked

Looking at the above I am extremely proud of myself because I did everything I set out to do. I exercised and ate right. I did indulge 3 days (tues/wed/thurs)  in beer but they were light beer and I only drank 1 or 2 each day. So all in all I felt good with my efforts and felt good in general. I usually only step on the scale once a week but I stepped on today just to get a feel for where my weight was and I was extremely happy with the number I saw.

**sidenote I’m not doing any weigh-in’s until the beginning of the year..must get out of this funk first.

I have an extremely busy weekend coming up but I am determined to at least get in 30 mins of some hardcore exercise in before hitting the bed. If that means working out at 11pm so be it!

Hectic

Sorry for the lack of posts. This week has been super hectic. My son started the 5th grade this week so I took two days off to go up to his school. I met with his teacher and sat in on the class just to get a feel for everything.

Wednesday was his first day back. I spent that whole day running around while he was in school because I had my god-daughter. Then I picked him up and I took him for ice cream and pizza to celebrate the start of the new year. That night I went to Zumba. I didn’t burn as many calories as I would like but I still did great. I didn’t put as much into it as usual because Tony woke me up at the ass-crack of dawn to go running. That coupled with dealing with a 4 yr old all day had me wiped.

I came to a conclusion though while I was running (amazzing how clear headed you are during a run) that I run kinda fast. Not lightening fast but faster than I run on the treadmill. I can easily do a mile in 15-20 mins on 4.5. Yet trying to do that same mile on the street kills me. I realized that I run faster (hence getting tired quicker) when I run outside. Since it really stinks for me to get up @ 6am to run I am going to up my speed on the treadmill to match my running speed outside.

Thursday was ok. I relaxed all day and braided up my hair. It’s been irking me lately so I decided to braid it before I cut it off. My eating on both days were good despite the fact that I was home. Usually being home is a cause for me to eat any and everything just because it’s there, which of course is not good. I am a bit disappointed thought because i didn’t have enough time to exercise Thurs or Friday.

Yesterday we went to Texas roadhouse and I am extremely proud of myself. 1st of all we got a small app for all for of us instead of the combo appetizer. You know the one that has like 4 different appetizers on one plate. Instead we got the baby blossom which while not good for us was the perfect size so none of us ate too much. Tony & I felt like it was way too salty. For dinner I ordered shrimp skewers with butter on the side (I ended up not using it) with a sweet potato & broccoli. I was happy because my usual meal there is like a steak with a loaded (sugar/marshmallows) sweet potato and a side of veggies. I easily saved myself some calories. I also only ate half my meal. HELLO NON-SCALE VICTORY! I love it. 

Today I am working a double shift which means I probably won’t get a traditional exercise session. I bought my HRM in with me and I am going to walk the streets of Boston on my both my lunch breaks. One is 45 mins and the other is 30 mins. I will walk fast so I will hopefull get my heartrate up there enough to burn sufficient calories. Hey everything counts right?

Let’s Zumba!

So last night I tried Zumba for the first time. Usually I don’t do classes. I don’t know why, actually I do. It’s usually because I feel like people are looking at me and critiquing my every move. I know that is not the case but still.

When I took my son to camp this week I noticed my community center was offering a Zumba class and I swear it was written in the stars. I had literally just read Bitch Cakes blog (Check her blog out it’s seriously great!) about her trying Zumba for the first time. I thought to myself “hmm maybe I will try Zumba someday”. I asked the woman at the front desk about the cost and she said a word that made me insanely happy FREE. I said “excuse me” because I had obviously heard wrong. She told me the classes had been going on for about 4 weeks and were to continue (FOR FREE) until September 2nd!!!! How great is that. Apparently it’s part of the YMCA’s (which is around the corner being renovated) initiative to get the neighborhood healthy over the summer. They offer numerous FREE classes all week for children all the way to adult.

I immediately jumped in the car and told my mother that she was coming to Zumba. She said “uh, maybe”, yea that’s as far as that went because  I told her she has no choice. She always begging me to start Jillian michaels again so I told her this would be like live action Jillian michaels with some Spanish flair. We tried to go Tuesday night but apparently I read the board wrong and the next class wasn’t until Wednesday.

I was soooo amped that I announced the class on my twitter, told people I would be attending and asked them to come along. A few people inquired but no one agreed to go (I’m gonna try again next time to see if I can reel some people in).

Here is my mother & I right before we went to class (photo courtesy of my son).

Wait first of all can you believe my mom just turned 50 2 weeks ago! She doesn’t look it at all. I love my mama!

Ok enough of that..onto the class review:

All in all the class was absolutely fantastic. I forgot to start my HRM when the class started but for the 45 mins it was on I burned about 958 calories, Amazing! Whats even more amazing is that I actually had fun. While some of the foot work was a bit too fast when it got deep in the latin steps a majority (90%) of the steps were super simple. I loved it and I cannot wait to go back. I wish I could remember the teachers name because she was a beast. She made it fun though, reminding us to keep our abs in and doing the steps in slow motion (not really slow motion but slower than they were performed at regular speed) before going full speed. We had a few breaks to get water (which we didn’t bring…We eventually found a fountain right behind the stage) and the music was great. The hour flew by.

My mom and I have already made plans to attend next week! I cannot wait. I encourage any and everyone to try the class at least once it really is like a dance party. For us youngins (who only just grew out of the club stage) it’s like the club with out the darkness and nasty sweaty guys! I am so happy I decided to step out of my comfort zone. I think even after the free sessions have ended I will still pay to take the class.

Monday Weigh-in/Drop that 15lbs challenge

Stats

Highest weight: 293
Starting blog weight: 279
Last week’s weight: 250
This week’s weight:251.5
Total lost this week: +1.5

Thoughts

I am officially back from vacation! First of all I am still super happy about yesterday. If you haven’t read my post check it out. Yesterday I ran a 15 min mile. I know that isn’t super fast but is was a great accomplishment for me because I didn’t even know I could run 1 full mile.

I stepped on the scale this morning to assess the damage and lo and behold I only gained 1.5 lbs. For all the crap we were eating that was great. I figured I wouldn’t gain too much since our main form of transportation our entire vacation was our legs. Yup we walked everywhere. We stayed in Atlantic City right on the boardwalk so we walked up and down it numerous times a day. Then the 2nd half of our vaca was spent in NYC. We were in a hotel in Jersey City and would leave early, head into Manhattan and stay out all day criss-crossing the city on foot & on the metro. Fun times. My boys loved all the sites and didn’t complain too much about all the walking.

Towards the end of the week my body was straight up rejecting all the food. We ate a bit better in NYC than we did in NJ. We were all craving fruits and veggies since that is how we eat normally. The boys especially were asking for fruit even though they loved being able to eat bugers and fries and pizza even they realized how much better fresh food made them feel. We also drank TONS of water. All in all it was a good vacation. I will do a picture post soon. I have to sort through the hundreds of pictures that were taken.

Now that vacation is over Tony and I have looked at the calendar and GASP we only have 4 weeks until Tony’s brothers wedding. We have both been pretty much at a stalemate as far as our weight so we have taken a pledge to workout hard and eat better for the next few weeks. Our motivator is the wedding but even after the wedding we plan on continuing with our pledge.

Tony rode his bike today since neither one of us woke up early enough to hit the gym this morning. When I dropped my son off at camp I saw that my Community Center is offering free Zumba Mon & Wed! I have already enlisted my mom to come and have hit up my Facebook (personal & fan page) to enlist some others.

I have also decided to join the Drop that 15lbs challenge hosted by Kimberly @ Living The Fit Life. This is a 60 day challenge with check ins every Monday. You can join whenever you like. Pop over to the site and check it out.

I’m so excited!!!

Thoughts

I am happy with how I met my goals for last week. Granted nothing was 100% but I still made an effort and that is all that matters. My week went pretty smooth until on Friday I found out some news about a family member that made me sad and almost made me cancel my trip to NYC for the weekend. My friend and I left for NYC Friday afternoon. We had some serious bus trouble and even though we were supposed to be in NYC by 7:30 we didn’t get there until about 11pm!

Highly upset but starving by the time we made it to my besties house on Staten Island we were STARVING! We walked to a cool bar around the corner from my friends house and I had some real hard cider and a huge burger with brie and caramelized onions on a English muffin! Probably not the best choice but after not eating for almost 10 hours I really didn’t care. That burger and fries hit the spot! My other friend had steamed mussels. It was live music night so the 1st band was pretty good. Then a 2nd band came up and they were so great. I wish I could remember the name of the band but I can’t and it’s making me sad. They were playing all types of instruments (kazoo, wash board,ukulele,banjo etc) but by far my fav was the dude playing the bottle! He was a beast. All in all it was a fun time.

My 2nd day in NYC consisted of walking and more waking. I walked so much that were walked into a modells and I purchased some purple  all stars because my sandals were pissing me off. We made our way to the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn and ate at Pegasus. OMG again I ate so much but it was so worth it. More and more walking. We were trying to make it to a BBQ but once were finally grew tired of walking and looking in stores we looked at the address and realized it would probably be another 40 min walk to get to where we were supposed to go. At that point we each had a bag and were ready to go. Before we left we stopped by Cinnabon (there are none in Mass) and I proceeded to inhale a cinnabon. “Wow this is so great” is what I said to myself as I ate the sweet, gooey,yumminess that is a cinnabon while in the back of my head I am thinking “wow! did you see this was 920 calories?……920” (thanks nyc for the calories on the menu!). Obviously I silenced the voice in the back of my head because this is one temptation that I don’t have to worry about because these stores are not in Mass. It was a one time delicious deal! After that breakfast and sweet snack I was no where near hungry for the rest of the day.

That night we went out partying and went to a club that was full of AARP card holders. Like a majority of the men and some women were no where near our age bracket. We had fun because that’s just us but seriously the oldies were COMEDY! I had 2 beers and 1 drink which since I don’t drink too often gave me a bit of a buzz.  We left after this woman who was standing behind us thought it would be cute to just throw up. It splashed on my feet & yea…like I said we left shortly after. My friend got street meat and we took a taxi to the ferry only to find out we had at least an hour before the ferry would arrive. Cue us falling asleep in the terminal looking like hobo’s.

We finally got home at about 6am only to set our clocks to be up in  a few hours since our bus was scheduled to leave at 3:15pm. Talk about tired! I have no words for how sleepy I was when I finally woke up. Before we left our friend ordered us real Mexican tacos from a restaurant around the corner. Probably the best tacos I have had in my life. Everything was fresh and the meat ( we had a pork, a chicken and a steak taco) was perfectly seasoned. Pefect ending to our trip. We lugged our huge bags on to the ferry and then onto the number 1 train to Penn Station. I don’t even remember the ride home (except for the AC being on FRIGID!) bc I slept the whole time.

Woke up this morning to a sore body, from my stomach to my legs and back to my arms NYC did a number on my muscles. Then I did my customary monday weigh-in thinking that all the food I consumed would surely lead to a gain. Only to look at the scale and see that I had actually lost 1 lb.  Amazing I guess all that walking paid off!

How was your weekend? What are your goals for the week?

This week’s weight: 248

Total lost this week:  2.5 lbs

Thoughts

Wow, I am extremely happy. I worked out hard, kept a close eye on my calories & the type of food I consumed and it most definitely paid off.

Recap

Last week I made it a point to re-vamp what I was doing. Nothing was working for me my body is fighting me every step of the way. It teases me with the 240′s only to snatch them away the next week. I was extremely determined not to slide back to the 250′s. So I walked everyday on my lunch break. Each walk was about 2.8 miles or more depending. Then I was coming home and also exercising. I either ran or went to the gym. I tried waking up early a few days but my body/mind was not having it. I even thought I woke up one morning and had a great workout only to wake up and realize I was dreaming. Tony tried waking me up a few times, it just was NOT happening.

Along with the exercising I also made sure to keep my calories under 1600 daily. That’s just for eating. If I exercised then I tried to eat back some calories but still making sure I didn’t surpass 1600. I made sure I wrote everything down in myfooddiary. I am happy that all of this paid off.

What really stinks though is now I feel burnt out & I really don’t want to do shit. I mean real talk exercising twice daily really takes a toll when you want to do other things like lay down (lol). I know I will love the results, especially from going to the gym. I have a new fav machine the torso twist!!! I love it because it’s what i hate the most…my love handles. If I could cut them off and not worry about bleeding to death I would be a happy camper. Despite my feelings towards going hard again this week it needs to be done. Life hasn’t changed and I still need to lose the weight.

C25K

So update, update…..SIKE there is nothing to update. I have been acting like a punk & when I got to my 25 min run I staight up stopped running! FOR 2 WEEKS. Now I am well not quite back to square one but I need to do a few more 20 mins runs before I decide to tackle a 25 min run. Once I do the 25 min run I will finish up the C25k. I am trying to go to sleep early tonight so I can get a run in tomorrow morning..we shall see if going to sleep early makes a difference.

My birthday is in 12 days and personally I cannot wait. I never do anything super special but still. I am actually somewhat angry this year because the bakery that I have gotten my birthday cake from every year since I was small closed this past october & I really do not know what I am going to do for cake. Maybe nothing, sort of like an in memoriam for my old birthday cake. Yes I am that sad…it was such a simple yummy cake and while other people do make it, no one makes it like them.

M.I.A.-C25K-Late weigh-in (40 lbs lost!!)

Hey my lovely readers! So you may have noticed I have been M.I.A. for 2 days. Well the main reason is because my basement flooded. Massachusetts had been getting torrential downpours since Friday and once sunday hit everyone was dealing with some type of flooding. The governor even declared a state of emergency. My basement didn’t start getting water until Sunday afternoon. I had my mother get a wet/dry vac (she could only find a 9 gallon one, all others were sold out in the region!) that afternoon.

For a while it wasn’t too bad but once it hit maybe 7pm the water was coming fast. From 7pm to the next morning at about 9am Tony, my mother, my step father and I took 1 hour shifts sucking up the water with the vac, carrying it to my laundry room and dumping into my huge soap stone sink. We also had a drain which is supposed to drain out start erupting with water. We used buckets to gather that water and emptied those into the toilet. We took a break (we were fed up and exhausted) after 9am until about 2pm. Let’s just say it didn’t stop raining until Monday at 12 am. I took Monday off and I also took Tuesday off for the clean up. Once it stoped raining it only took about 2 hours to rid the basement of excess water. Now it’s just damp. The damage done is to my walls, a couch that must be thrown away and a fridge. I count myself lucky because some people had water fill their basements and move up into the main house.

C25K- Week 2 day 1

After lugging 9 gallon and 5 gallon buckets pretty much every 5 mins for a good 30 hours my entire upper body is SCREAMING. After the Tuesday cleanup Tony and I decided to let off a little steam and so we did C25K Week 2 day 1. Um Killer!!!!! I don;t know if it was because my body was already tired or what but it was hard and my running intervals were slow. I wanted to stop so many times but I didn’t! I plan to do week 2 day 2 tomorrow morning so we will see how this goes.

I let Tony talk me into going to the gym. It was a good workout but all we did was work out arms and after the basement incident my arms hurt. I was proud of myself though, I lifted some pretty good poundage. Also the rowing machine may be my fav machine ever!

Weigh-In

Since I was busy Monday I didn’t get to post my weigh in even though I did check it first thing Monday morning. Here ya go:

Highest weight: 293

Starting blog weight: 279

Last week’s weight: 256

This week’s weight: 253

Total lost this week: .5

I am officially at 40 lbs lost!!!!!!!! Woooooo hooo. My joy was quickly over shadowed by the basement but I recieved  another reminder about how far I have come yesterday. I had to go buy some new work pants since mine can no longer stay up. So I went to Ashley Stewart since that is where my current pants are from and because it’s 5 mins from my house. First I grabbed a size 20 because it’s a size down from the pants I have now. Well I put them on and I am like wow…these are still kinda big. So I call to my mom and tell her to get me a size 18. I put them on and lo and behold…they fit! They fit well. Did I do a happy dance in the dressing room? You bet I did.

It’s funny I really don’t feel like I have lost much weight. It’s probably because I see myself everyday. My mother looked at me the other day and she’s like wow you can really tell you are getting your shape back. She’s like look you only have 2 rolls and the 2nd one is almost gone..yay!!! I love my mother, she’s a trip.

It’s been a hectic start to the week and I have tons of work to catch up on but I just wanted to pop in and let ya’ll know I am alive (and 2 sizes smaller!!!! still can’t get over that).

Thoughts

I am extremely happy. I didn’t do anything too spectacular during the week. I just made sure my workouts were done and that I ate right. We have been buying fruit really cheap lately so I am consuming more fruit than usual. I am also happy because I decided to stop tracking my calories on the weekend (more on that below).

Today I started C25K. I went to sleep fairly early since I have to wake up by 6:15 am to be able to make it home on time to get everyone ready for the day. I was really scared and even contemplated not doing it. It was so very hard for me the 1st time around. I remember my very last run sometime last summer. Tony and I were on Week 3 day 1 and we went to Castle Island to run while the boys rode their scooters. The only reason why I finished and didn’t cry or vomit all over myself was because he was there. I literally wanted to throw-up and cry or do both at the same time. It was so hard! That is how it was for me since the week 1 day 1. So like I said I was scared this morning but I still got my butt in the car and drove to the park around the corner. I scoped it out to see how many people were there and there were only about 3.  So I stretched and turned on my pod cast……

Dare I say…it was easy! No really it was ok I will say no where near as difficult as I remember it. Maybe it’s because I am carrying less weight? Maybe it’s because I already kinda knew what to expect? I don’t know. My main focus was my running style, I didn’t want to hurt myself or end up limping away from the park. My second focus was my breathing, first my breathing while running. I did the whole in through your nose, out through your mouth to try and regulate my breathing so it’s not all huffy puffy and I also did the same during my walks. I felt like I recovered pretty fast during the walking portion unlike when I did it the first time and I felt like I was gasping for air walking and running. All in all it was somewhat enjoyable and I was extremely pleased. I cannot wait for Wednesday!

This weekend I decided that on the weekends that I would stop tracking calories. I do this all week; I have been doing it the entire time I have been losing weight. It works. I mean how much easier you can get than calories in /calories out. Regardless of how easy it is I do not want to do it forever. I want my eating to be more self regulated. Does that make sense? So I did that this weekend and well as you see from the weigh in I didn’t sabotage myself. This was with me going to a get together at a friend’s mother’s house. They had all types of goodies that I of course sampled. I had a small piece of homemade cheesecake, some shrimp cocktail, and 2 triangles of black bean quesadillas and some feta salad. The only thing I didn’t partake in was the liquor. They had wine, beer and hard liquor. I really could have had a glass of wine (oh how I wanted one) but before I left the house Tony and I had a MGD 64 (Which is not bad but it sure isn’t a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat). So because of that I stayed away. Yay for me! All in all I think I am going to try and stick with the no tracking on the weekends and see how I do. If you have followed me from the beginning you know my weekends were what used to mess me up but I find that as long as I have somewhat of a plan I am good. I will keep you updated.

This entire weekend has been beautiful! I mean 50 degrees and sunny. I don’t know if any of you know this about Boston but to Bostonians this is like summer! So because of that everyone and they mama was outside enjoying the weather. On my lunch break Saturday I walked to the public garden and then down Newbury street (Shopping district/be seen/fashion district) and back to my job. I was in heaven except for the fact that my hip started hurting.

Sunday was the same. For some reason I was tired and I ended up sleeping my entire break. I called my son and asked him if he wanted to go to the park to ride his bike and of course he said yes. My mother also decided to go so I had a nice walk around the park. Then I did something I haven’t done in at least 10 years! I RODE A BIKE! My son wanted to play in the park so he gave me his bike and at first I was walking it. Then I thought “um this is stupid” so I jumped on it and wow…now I want a bike. Only thing is my booty hurts, does this happen to anybody who rides a bike? Is my butt too big? I don’t remember this from my bike riding years.

All in all great weekend!

How was your weekend?
