Okay so i am journaling here to get some good adv and to keep motivated. I am 26 mother of 3 and have been together with my husband for 9 years and 7 years married high school sweet hearts.. My starting weight was 250 lbs and now at 180lbs 2 years later it has been a great process and i would not change it for world my kids are happier and so am i. Last month i hurt my knee pretty bad the whole knee came out of socket such bad pain so i have not been able to workout really good for that long it has taken it's toll on my mentally, i have started getting back to squats and lunges trying to take it slow i will come out at anytime so i am trying to get back my stregth in my knee uggghhhh hard work. For me i love going to the gym and pushing really hard and getting out quick now i cant i have to watch every little move i make it sucks but so goes life!
My workout are usally like this
am-cardio hitt eliptical- 30 mint. 5 min warmup 1min full speed 2 min rest. incline 9-10- full speed usally 9 mph- rest i like to hop off for a full rest then i jump back on/ 2-3 times a week and maybe some light cardio thrown in
3 day a week i workout with my husband doing a full boby hitt rot. with heavy weights, i have had to go light with my knee latley!
Water i have doing 1-2 gallons a day, i hold water so bad
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~diet~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oatmeal- royal jelly 1 tb. on top water green tea Jakie chans
protin shake made with water/splenda too
tuna with wheat bread and some veg's
protein shake made with water/ spenda too
dinner chicken or organic lean flank steak with sweet pot 1/2 and veg's
And if it is that time of the month i will make a sugar free jello with some berries in it yummy my kids love it
Crystal light all day and green tea WATER WATER WATER all day
That sums it all up i try to keep the diet the same i will make some adjustments but not many, with 3 kids i am so busy, but a always find time for me. My kids love going to the gym and they have a pretty healthy outlook on life. I love knowing i gave that to them. well i have to get back to them.

Welcome! What a beautiful family! Your little girl is CRAZY gorgeous!!

Hibiscus09 · 06-26-2007, 12:36 PM

Wow -- beautiful family!!! I was thinking how precious your children are and how they're clones of you and have the exact same beautiful eyes as you have. Then, I looked at your hubby (a hottie) and realized he has the same eyes too. A family of clones!!

Congrats to you for the great progress you've made so far also!!

Oh, and chocolate and/or wine are the only things that make me play nice during that time of the month.

Congratulations on your wonderful successes to this point, and I think now is a great time to start journaling here and take your diet and exercise to the next level! Be INTENSE!!! You can do it!

(Edited to add... you have THREE kids! hehe Sorry, I did read that, it just didn't sift thru to my brain very fast.)

Simpy · 06-30-2007, 07:34 AM

I usually buy EFAs from Beverly. I've not had good luck with fish oil capsules. I have reflux and seem to spit them up or burp them a lot. :gag:

Recently, though, I bought some fish oil capsules with lemon. The owner of the nutrition store guaranteed that I would not burb them at all, or she would give me my money back. So far so good.

Congrats on being 2 lbs down

#1mom · 07-03-2007, 07:40 AM

I am still going strong! 6 day a week in the gym with any slip ups. And i am down 28 lbs. damn i feel good right about now, I have not posted in here in a while but i need to start agian. I find the ppl here are alot kinder than in other fourms (not saying witch ones). so cardio 6 days aweek with 2 days being H.I.T and the rest just fast paced on like a 15 res. and weight day are at 3 day i do not do a split i like doing full body ses. i really am thinking about adding 1 more day of weights since i love it so much. Thheeeyyy! My kids start school on Monday and my little girl is starting K. but still have 1 more at home with me my 3 year old! Everthing seems to be going great. i feel like i am in a good space right now

#1mom · 08-24-2007, 07:58 AM

Ugghhh my little girl started school this week and it is so hard my older son started 3rd grade and he is set no mom please dont come to my class kinda thing. But he has been sick and missed 3 day so far of school, Monday he will be back in school!!!
But the gym is going good i started on the new BSN product called atro-phex great stuff when you have your diet and workouts in order. BSN products are great(my opinion).
anyways i have been cutting back on cardio and really kicking up my weights, it great i really see girls in the gym watching me lift! I have not checked my weight i will do that with in the next few weeks maybe ????
life is good right now

Ninja J · 08-24-2007, 12:44 PM

How did your son's biopsy go?
Btw, yes, you have a beautiful family and your little girls is just too precious. I only have one child. A little girl. She's 3.

Looks like you're doing great on getting to your weight goal.
