Today I walked almost 12,000 steps.  I am really wore out!  Hoping tomorrow's weigh in is promising.  unfortunately I am gaining about 1/2 pound each week for the past three weeks and that is getting a bit discouraging :(  But I refuse to live on cardboard and air.

Last Monday when I weighed, I weighed in at 255lbs and 46% body fat.  So up another half a lb but down 2% body fat.....Hmmmm.  Well tonight I went to Zumba and hit 12,000 steps today which was my personal best for one day.  Hoping to lose at least 1 lb so I can get that extra point for our wellness challenge :)  Wish me luck!

Tonight's Zumba class was great.  A little more challenging than the last class.  I believe I was just wore out to start with.  A BIG THANK YOU to my friend Mary for keeping me going.  It really helps a lot!  I didn't achieve my goal of 10000 steps today like the last day I went to class but I really enjoyed myself and always do!  I weighed in yesterday with 254.5  lbs  and 49% body fat.  I need to work on a few things and get up from my desk more.  The issue is that the work I do is a LOT of desk work.  Well I will weigh in tomorrow and we will see if I was successful at all.

Zumba baby! - April 4, 2013 Not sure how many days it is....lost track!

Weight this morning 255 with 48% body fat.  I don't get how I am gaining weight.  This is crazy!  Im committed to go to my first Zumba class tonight with friends Mary and Tracy.  We had a blast and I put in more steps during the hour of class than I had then entire day up to that point.  It also helped me to achieve 10,000 steps today which is my goal every day!  I am sure I will sleep good tonight.  thanks Mary and Tracy for the head start!  I will definitely go back.  Surely I will have lost lbs or body fat tomorrow....right?

Day 7- Saturday, March 23, 2013

I have been unable to post for a few days due to being at the Annual Meeting for our company.  It is a very harried time but I LOVE IT!  It is a lot of walking and I love to be of service to my co workers.  Anyway yesterday was my first day back in the office so I weighed myself yesterday morning.  It read 253 and 47% body fat.  Kind of a bitter sweet result since I felt like I walked my ass off but if the weight had to go up at least the body fat percentage went down.  I am not sure if I reported it before but it was 49%.  Today I am taking my boys to bowling along with some of their teammates so I won't get much walking in there.  I will have to find some other way.  I will keep you posted.  I bought a Fitbit and it keeps track of my activity so i can report that to you too.  Here's to a great day!

Day 3-Tuesday, March 19, 2013

3:58am- Can't sleep.  Can't get my mind to shut down from this crazy meeting.  Lol.  I consider helping plan this meeting a perk of my job.  It is really rejuvenating to see all our store managers, regionals, and vendors.  Think I am gonna channel this energy and do some stretching to put myself back to sleep.  Wish me luck!

Day 2-March 18, 2013

Well I made it through Day 1 with 300 crunches (not a single one more) and two planks for 20 sec each.  I despise planks very much and thought I was taking it easy on myself with the crunches so I was punishing myself with the planks.  Today begins the frenzy at work with the Annual Meeting this week so it will be a little harried trying to get my 30 minutes of activity in each day but I am determined! 

Weighing myself for the first time in about 2 weeks was a pleasant surprise as the scale at work tell me I am 250.5 lbs (I thought I was 254) and 49% body fat.  Well here goes nothing!
