Club Hasay Update

I had to go out and buy clothes tonight because I have an interview tomorrow. Uuuughhh, I hate trying on pants, especially because I haven't lost as much as I would have liked. Stupid pants don't like to fit over my big hips. Ggggrrr. I have no really nice clothes that fit. They are all in smaller sizes from before I had my daughter almost 3 years ago. That's the only bad part about having babies so close together. You don't really have time to lose the weight you gained from the first one, before you start gaining for the next.

Last week I lost another pound and a half, to make my overall weight loss 7 pounds in 3 weeks. I have been doing well at the gym. I go 4-5 days a week and stay for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. This is my 'me' time, my escape. LOL. I think I need to start keeping better track of my food. I was very bad last night and made up a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Bad me!! But I had been so good, that I felt like we needed a treat. I didn't eat too many of them. But now we can be good again for a few more weeks!

Club Hasay Update

Well, the gym thing has been going well. I went at least 4 times last week (I should really be writing that down. lol). I have been working out for 1 1/2 to 2 hours each time I go. 20 minutes on treadmill, 20 minutes on elliptical, strength training (usually do about 5-6 different exercises plus abs) and then 20 minutes on the bike.

I have lost another 1 1/2 pounds, so I am happy about that. Even though I know that could have been better. I had a very bad food week. There was some hot dogs and even some ice cream. But all in all not too bad. I m now down almost 6 pounds in 2 weeks. YEAH. I have to say that reducing the cable so we could get a gym membership was the best thing we could have done. The gym is open 24 hours a day, so it is really easy for both me and hubby to get to the gym.

My finals are 1/3 of the way over and I only really have to study for the one tomorrow. The one on Thursday is for my spreadsheets class and that is easy peasy! So, after that I will be less stressed. Therefore, less likely to eat bad things! LOL. We are also going to be actually planting in our garden this week (we had to put up a fence first) and that will also give me a good workout.

So, hopefully next week I will see a few more pounds coming off (definitely feeling better and feeling more trim).

HASAY update 5/4

Man, my inside of my thighs still kill!!! I did the machine that works your inner thighs on Tuesday night and my inner thighs still hurt when I do certain things. WOW!!!

I went to the gym 4 times last week and worked my butt off (literally lol). I didn't get there this weekend but I did work on getting stones out of the garden for several hours on Saturday - believe me, that was a work out. I haven't gotten on the scale today, but I definitely lost at least 4 pounds, possibly more. Plus I have definitely been toning up those muscles. So, I am really happy with that.

I would like to get to the gym this evening, but we shall see. Hubby wants to go work on the fencing around the garden again tonight and I also have to work on a difficult homework assignment that is due on Thursday. I have been doing pretty good with portion control and even counted out the 24 mini wheats that are in a serving yesterday. I am just trying to be smarter about how much I eat. I have been craving chocolate chip cookies the last few days and I may just have to give in and make half a batch. I don't want to deprive myself of treats because I know that will lead to binging-like behavior.

I really think that going to a gym is what's really going to get me to lose this weight. With all the kids and hubby at home it is really hard to work out. Now I just use the gym as an excuse to get away from it all... LOL. It's my 'me' time. I am hoping to get to the gym at least 3 times this week (I have finals next week so I am not making my goal too high) and will continue to watch how much I eat. I am hoping to lose a few more pounds this week.
