180.5!!
WOW!
I never thought I'd see that number again, not this fast! Not in just 3 months??! But YES!! It seems the 180s are just flying by and I know the Master Series will take me into the 170s.
I feel like sitting down and crying! I am just over the moon! I look at myself in the mirror now and can't believe it is working, can't believe I am here at this point!!
It has been hard and a tough road but I have done it! Such a great accomplishment and pride you feel for stepping up to the plate and doing it! There are just so many obstacles and so many things you have to fight for it is so easy to be lazy and sleepy and just really not feel like doing it. Lack of motivation...just so many things! It's hard to change habits, it really is. But you know, they always say that if it's really worth it, then it's worth working hard for! Nothing comes easy! It has taken me years to get that heavy and it will not all come off in a blink of an eye nor some magic pill or potion.
No...dedication and hard work and determination! That has gotten me thru this. Plus great support and a drive and motivation helped to see me to this point!!
I finally was not going to accept defeat, not going to accept the excuses I created and oh boy am I good at making them too! I took a long hard look at what I was doing and when I would give up and why. What was happening then at those times? How can I overcome it? I know there is nothing I can't do if I set my mind to it! :)
I still have a way to go...but what a great start this is!! Just one small goal at a time! I really would love to lose one more pound by Sunday. Just one. I want to see 179.5!!
3 more days to workout, so we'll see!! :) Even if I don't make it, just to see 180 flat...wow...!!!!
Enjoy your day!

Last Week of Power90!
Here it is....the very last week of Power90! I really can't believe it's here and that I have actually made it!! But I have!
And even more that I was able to go to San Antonio and not gain weight! Not even one pound! I ate fairly well while down there, keeping as close to my normal and regular diet as I could. I did eat a little dessert, mostly mango sorbet and a few bites of a nutella x3 at some restaurant and bites of others. I also ate very late on one night and another time almost as late of a time. But! I made healthier choices and oh boy that was super hard! There I am in the heart of San Antonio, on the riverwalk and in front of all those wonderful restaurants! The Mexican and Italian were really a big challenge!
I did have my Irish Lamb Stew tho' at Waxy O'Connors, that, I could not resist. I had even eaten the wonderful brown bread they have with it, tho' it is a skinny small slice. Even the last night there at the seafood restaurant, Ostra, I had a roll too with my salmon and broccoli and a glass of red wine.
I got home yesterday, kept to my food plan for the most part too, had half of a salmon burger, corn on the cob, a side salad of just romaine and shredded carrots and a lil dressing and half of a slice of Texas Toast--(Bad I know). But...this morning? I weighed in right now at 182 flat. Tho' I normally weigh myself after I workout and just before breakfast so it could very well be 181 something or other. But WOW! Even to be 182 flat is just amazing! I did fairly well, I'd give myself like a 85 or 90% on my trip!
Very proud of myself because not only did I eat fairly well, BUT! hehee I also worked out in the room!! And that was not without it's difficulties for the disk really did not want to work in my dvd drive that I had taken with me! I almost panicked there for a moment thinking it was not going to work! I had to exit out of almost everything and then it would play it! I will be glad when I am in the Master Series with a new dvd!
The only bad thing in returning home was that I felt some fluid in my right ear. :( Took some medicine and some advil and it zoinked me right out last night. It feels a bit better but I know I will have to go get some allegraD or something for it. It's been a bother lately and may have to go see my doc.
I am so very happy that I was able to overcome the obstacle of my trips! I have another one next week, but I expect it to go pretty much the same as this time! I realize I have to make a concerted effort to do what I need to do for me. This next one however, I'll be staying in a friend's home so it will be a bit harder to get my workouts done but I am hoping I can still manage to do so.
So now, last week of Power90 here I come!!

I can't believe it...
I had to check the scale so many times this morning and even bounce on it and try to make it show heavier for I could not believe the number it showed me!!!
181.5!!!
OMG! I am like wow...where did the fat go? I mean yea, I know where it went alright, but just wow!!
I have not been this thin since I lived in Vegas! I know I still have a way to go yet but...
I sit here looking at that number and I just can't believe it!!
But what is even more touching and moving? Was the look on my son's face last night when I said something to him of his weight. I noticed his belly wasn't protruding as much and I asked him to lift his shirt so we could see the difference. He looked down and was like wow...you are right! Then I noticed his jean shorts were very loose and he said he kept having to pull them up!! Hahaha!
I told him he would soon need a new wardrobe! We laughed and he mentioned about these other shorts he did have that were too tight on him yet. I said really? When was the last time you tried them on? He said a long time, so I told him, go try them on, and let's see!
So off he goes and he comes back just in shock! Not only can he fit into them, but he can pull them UP AND OVER his belly!! He was like holy cow!! I told him it was suppose to be up there, and he said he preferred it low as it is more comfortable for him, I said yea, cause your belly was so big it was cutting into you that's why but look! You can pull them up over now and he was so amazed! He said he should be able to tuck his shirt into his shorts come vacation time!! (July 31st) I told him YUP!!
Then I said to him, look at your legs! Look at your calves and how that calf muscle is just popping!! He looked and turned his leg so he could see and he looked back up at me with his eyes shining and glittery and was just WOW!! I told him look at your thigh! Look at your other leg!! Look how thin they are now!! He was just floored! So excited and I was never more touched and ready to cry in joy for him!!
It was just unbelievable! He has made such great progress! I congratulated him and told him to be sure and get those fat pics up and we'll take 30 day pics for him here soon! We'll also take the same beach photos we did last year of him and he will be shocked I am sure to see the difference!! Hehehe!
Love it, Love it!!
That had to be such a great moment for me to see his face like that! It was just unreal! He is down to 166.5/167 and he is excited! I know he is going to go all the way and get really super fit and it's gonna be just awesome and amazing for him! I told him, he could possibly win some money! I have noticed he is ever more mindful tho' of what he is eating and how it effects his weight and such. It's just awesome! He's been drinking the Shakeology, Tropical/Vegan/Strawberry and is about finished. I hate for him to stop it but I know he wants to go back to his salads. So we'll try it for a week or so and see how he does. And if he wants it back, I'll go ahead and order him the Chocolate Shakeology.
I am so proud of him! He's done so well and he's only been in the 1-2 circuit of Power90! Wait til he moves to the 3-4 and it will kick his metabolism into a higher gear! He's going to just soar with the results he will get!
GO GO GO!!!
