Well so much for that!

-
I set an alarm today to get up extra early so I could get a workout in BEFORE any kids got up. Of course before any of that I had to feed chickens. While doing that all of a sudden this intense stabbing pain in my shoulder blade came on. It took me to my knees. I thought I was having a heart attack at first (until I realized that was the wrong side lol). I took some deep breaths and tried to stretch out my arm and then finished the chickens real quick and hobbled into the house. Woke up my 16 yr old and begged him to try to pop my back (normally my 12 yr old does this wonderfully but I didn't want to risk waking the other kids). He tried, no luck. So it hit me, it was probably muscle pain not bone. I can't reach to massage this spot so I'm just doing shoulder rolls and lifting my arm up and down to try to work out that muscle. It actually helps. I also took some iburpofen because, ouch. I have a high tolerance for pain, I gave birth to two 10 1/2lb babies with no drugs before during or after! But this took me down. The pain is radiating down my ribs and through the front too.

So much for getting up early to workout. Ugh. I'm still gonna try. Going to give my meds 20 minutes or so to kick in then try to do the cardio. I'll skip the weight lifting today.

Ouchy!

UPDATE

Ibuprofen kicked in... not bad, not bad at all! 381 Calories! BOOM! Take that back!

 I did it!! I DID IT, I DID IT, I DIIIIIIDDDDD ITTT!!!! Excuse the blurry picture, crappy cell phone mixed with not being able to turn the light on (babies sleeping).  Tomorrow is weigh in but I'm doing it a day early because, well I had a feeling I'd be there. SO excited!!! This is the first time in years I've been under 200lbs!! Really motivates me to keep going!  My reward for this is - SKIPPING CHEAT DAY! Yes, I am done with cheat-day Sunday. We do DQ on Sundays so I may have a mini blizzard but I can eat half and fit that into my macros. Sunday always sets me back, then I'll screw up Monday and it's a vicious cycle so I'm just gonna stick to it. I've lost 25lbs in 11 weeks, so I know I can do another 25 in 3 more months! Although I know the lower I go, the harder it will be. I got this.  So what am I doing? People ask this, it's funny because on some of the facebook boards I'm one of the people asked how they did it, vs being...

More bad than good but...

-
This week has been more bad than good but somehow, I've lost more weight that previous weeks!! Husband filled the house with junk, he's been on vacation. I've had bday parties and playdates to go to. I had cake at the birthday party. We had DQ yesterday for a treat for the kids. We had a long day and no one felt like cooking so we ordered pizza. I wasn't going to eat it but I was starving and just didn't feel like cooking, even just for myself, so I had 3 slices - crust and all! I had a granola bar the other day (it was like 33g carbs). Sonic messed up my drink order and it was most certainly NOT diet. I actually didn't drink much of it, but I had some. I also have only got in 2 days of exercise all week! So this morning I got on that scale expecting to see the worst.... but instead I'm down 3.2lbs!! How did that even happen?! Am I starving my body? Is that why I'm not losing as fast? Should I be eating more? Maybe getting more carbs than 50? I don...

Why didn't I think of that?!

-
Yesterday afternoon I was talking to my oldest son about wanting a treadmill or an elliptical on our patio so while the girls play I could get in a workout. My husband chimes in, "why don't you just go jog around the goat yard?" Wait, what?! Why didn't I think of that?! Of course he's thinking of saving himself $200 but it was a great idea! I've always hated walking/jogging our neighborhoods because of.. neighbors. I feel like I'm being watched and maybe a little judged and it's just not my cup of tea. But out here, no one to watch! No one to judge! And it's a BIG area and if we wanted more we could actually go jog the front acre too! So my son and I had a little jog. He jogged a little, ok, a lot faster than me and he could have probably done 3x the laps I did but we did it! It felt good! We're gonna do it again today and tomorrow. Then add a lap each week. He loves working out so he's really enjoying my desire to exercise. On the foo...
