Exercise

So I'm trying to lose 10 lbs mostly b/c I'd like to be able to wear a bikini this summer, I haven't worn one since before Megan was born! 10 years! Well and also b/c my self esteem is pretty low. A guy at Biolife (where I donate plasma) heard me say "yes!" when he weighed me b/c my weight was 1 lbs lower then last Thursday! He said "what?" I said "I'm trying to lose weight and it's down 1 lb" he said "oh really? Why are you trying to lose weight? You look great" He made me blush! BUT, the one man I really want to get compliments from doesn't give them. I'm hoping if I start looking "toned" maybe he'll notice me?? Or notice that I'm taking care of myself? Although the house is suffering....I should get off here :)

So 6 days a week I'm exercising. My kids have kind of just accepted it that in the afternoon mommy exercises. I do it while Joshy is napping. I usually let Drew play the computer (if he's not in school). I just started doing Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and OH MY GOODNESS. they are killers! I had to pause BFBM 3 times b/c I felt dizzy and like I was going to throw up!!!
I already did 30 days of the 30 day shred and it did make me a little more toned, and I did lose 3 lbs (now 4). I'm also hoping to run my first 5K this spring!! I'm hoping if I strength train & get my endurance up I should be able to run the 3miles better. I can already run 3 miles but it kills me and I have to go slow.

Anyway...I have to make dinner. we're having salmon (the kids fish sticks) asparagus and squash.
