Sick of the scale not moving

Before I started this workout group with you all, I had already begun to exercise as of about a month. I got on the scale every ten days and I have been steady at 146 pds. This is really starting to peeve me. But I will continue. I am going to go walking after work for 45 minutes and hopefully that will help some. I am also going to find my Curves dieting book (which is alot like Weight Watchers) and they help you set up the six meals. Last time I dieted, that helped. That and giving up evenings snacks and Starbucks hot chocolate. Now, I ask you - what is the point of living? Oh yeah, being healthy....I forgot. I am a member of Doubleday Book Club and I found that the Firm program ame out with a new workout routine - with the exercise ball. I hear this is great for abs. And heaven knows, I need work in this area, especially since I am going to the beach in June. I don't want to scare the natives!!!! Now that I "newly single" I want to attract the attractive natives......

Well I will continue to blog and update you. Kudos to Kia for losing 12 pds. That is awesome! Kim hang in there - you'll beat the shin splints. Ty work that belly girl!!

Don't forget ladies, weigh in is next week. Be prepared! And no binge dieting.

Its About Time

The plan was to wake up at 6am on Saturday morning for my workout. 6 am turned to 8am. But I did it.!! I did 25 minutes of yoga with my boy Rodney Yee and 15 minutes of abs with my girl Tammy Lee. I am sore and I love it. I saw a co-worker of mine on Friday and she looked great. She boxes and she runs with a group. I congratulated her on her new body. She made me sick wearing her 7 jeans, wedge heels, chocolate brown shirt and long dark hair slicked in a neat ponytail. She looked firece and I had to give it to her. So now I have to do what I gotta do and knock it out the ball park. I need to be able to do 10 pushups strong. Wish me luck!!!!

kim's whines.

my start hasn't been so smooth, either. i don't know if it's the weather or what, but my shin splints have really been acting up & it's been hard to do much of a workout. i did manage an hour walk today-- with lots of stretching before and after. i may need to stick to the yoga for now until i can get the muscles to cooperate. i'm going to talk with my cousin (a personal trainer) tonight to see if she has any suggestions for me. i'm sure she will. for now, i'll be glad that i have a least done some form of exercise each day this week. maybe not as much as i had planned, but something is better than nothing. you've gotta start somewhere.
we can all do this!!!!

Fatigue

Yesterday 4/24 was suppose to be the day that I start my exercise routine. When I got home I had to clean up because the place was a hot mess. I put my new dark chocolate pumps on while I was cleaning so I could break them in because the are leather and I need them to fit right. So I am cleaning in my pumps. I start in the bed room, I dump the trash out or the bathroom, I feed the fish and now I am in the kitchen. I take the trash out and wash last nights few dishes. by now it is 7pm and my daughter has not had a bath yet. She askes me to play with her for the second time. I feel bad so I sit with her by her dollhouse and wait for instructions. We play doctor, I am the patient. She shows me that her dolls are having a birthday party for the sister. Its been the sister's birthday since Christmas when she got the dollhouse and the family included. So sister should be 25 years old now. So about 10 minutes pass and my eyelids are getting heavy. I tell her I need to run her bath. She says no so I stay. I tickled her for a few mintues and eased my way off the floor. She was angry. So I clean out the tub and put her in. I remember I did not start dinner yet. Thankfully my pasta sauce came out well so I heat that up. I was gonna make meatballs to go with our angel hair pasta and sauce but it was already 7:30 I would need another 30 minutes to perpare them and cook them with the sauce before serving. After the bath. its time to eat. We start around 8:15. My Mom then calls and vents about her boss. Her boss is trying to f@ck her over and my Mom vows she will f@ck her boss over first. This goes on for 10 minutes. I give the phone to my daughter to calm my Mom down. It worked for 5 minutes. so now I am sitting on the couch and we continue to talk about her boss, the stimulus package money and why my tax returns are not as high as my second cousin's, my Moms first cousin. We end the conversation with her planning to send me money for my daughters birthday coming in June. Its now 8:54. My daughter's bedtime is 9pm. Its 9:01 and I am cleaning the pasta sauce off her face and having her use the bathroom. Now I have to listen to her read me her bedtime story. I tell her only 2 stories. Somehow 2 became 3. Its about 9:15. I realize my husband did not return the voicemail our daughter left him before she started reading. I tuck her in and I tell myself I will exercise at 10:18. That is an hour from now. I lay on the couch for what I thought was 1 hour. When I woke up it was 1:30am. Now it is 10:38am and I am at work and I did not exercise yet. Damn!!

This is my very first blog entry and it is about my weight. What a grand appearance. Anyway, I have been struggling with weight since puberty. Now I am 32 years young and all hell has broken lose. I feel bulky and heavy. I don't like the way my clothes fit on me. and I am sick and tired of this damn pot belly that my husband lovingly calls his honey pot. I have this dress, I like to call it my freakum dress courtesy of Ms. or should I say Mrs. Beyonce Knowels. Its tight in all the right places and back in 2001 I was fitting it and looking pretty fly. Back in 2001 I was 25 and childless. Its 2008 and now I have a 4 year old and I am 32. And now as I type this I am wondering why the hell do I even still have that dress. Well ladies, its a freakum dress, and if I were to wear it out in public, I would probably be mistaken for a hoochie or a lose bootey. And I think it is healthy to have an outfit like that and to be thought of as such. LOL So yes its been in my closet for 7 years now and I want to get back into it and wear it out with my husband by my side. As of right now when I put it on I look 5 months pregnant in it. After having a baby via c-section stuff just did not go back in like it was suppose to. I can't even hide it by sucking the gut in and that ain't even cool. I even have the sexy Steve Madden 3 1/2 inch platform do me sandals to wear with this dress. So today is my day to get it together ladies. I will be taken photos so that I may have a visual progress report. I will have them in my cell phone so I can carry it with me and look at my bulging belly and flabby arms and get pissed and then get fit. I'm gonna make it happen with your help and support ladies!!!!!
