So today is truce day. Or more commonly known as weight in day, I started this diet a week ago today as the scales say I've lost a whopping 2 pounds. Woo Hoo for me. I guess that better than gaining 2 pounds. I don't know I guess when you work as hard as I have this week you just expect it to fall off. But it will continue to come off, slower weight loss is better anyway, so I've been told. I did an 12 min ab lounger work-out yesterday and let me tell it works those muscles. I am sore today, but if it works it will be well worth it. Well I'm off to bed! Night all.

Yea Bev!!!!! I am so proud of you!!!

Yes, the perfect weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. This means you are losing fat, not muscle or water.

Remember, a pound of fat equals 3500 calories! So you have been buring the calories this week, to lose 2 lbs! Wow! I am so happy for you.
Plus muscle weighs more than fat, but takes up less space. (Yippy!!!) Since you are working out, you are actually building muscle that you didn't have before, so that is why the scale is moving slower than you had hoped. But don't give up, slow and steady wins the race!

WOO-HOO!!!! You go girl! Keep up the Great Workouts Bev! :)

Week 2 (this should have been posted Monday , but it's just been one of those weeks) As all of you know I have been dieting and exercising like a mad crazy woman. OK maybe not that bad. I actually just decided that I had to make some major lifestyle changes, to improve my health, my body, and along the way my spirit just jump on for the ride. Anyway today was weigh in day and I have lost 11 pound this week, that was not a typo I did say 11 pounds. I could not believe my eyes when I stepped onto the scales. I actually would get on and off and the on and off just to make sure they were working right. That make 13 pound total so far. I can't believe it, it feels great. I love the way I feel after I've exercised, it's like it empowers you or something. Over the weekend I decided it was time to clean out my storage room and I had found some clothes in there that I had actually put up to take to some of my cousins because I had outgrown them. After 13 pounds of fat gone I ca...

Peace, Quiet, Stillness and yet why can't I enjoy it..... It's Sunday morning and I have sent my family off to church is why... I am so suppose to be with them but after the last few day I know that I cannot sit through Sunday School and then morning worship.. My body for one is so sore and stiff it would never make it. I feel like a old lady( no offense to anyone out there but this is for the birds). Secondly I fall asleep at the drop of a hat and I believe that would be quite embarrassing. So I sent my Hubby and boys off this morning without me. I knew I had a great husband but he has really proved himself over the last few days (not that he had to). I had my hysterectomy on Thursday morning and so not to interrupt the boys schedules to much I got up early that morning and went over and had my mom drive me to the hospital. Donnie stayed home so he could get the boys off to school and he got to the hospital in plenty of time before I went back to surgery. He and mom were the f...

I'm amazed at the difference. So I finally got a new scale and I have actually lost a total of 17 pounds over the past 6 or 7 weeks. Some have wanted to see the difference and here ya go the top picture was taken in May at Eli's birthday party. The bottom picture was taken 3 days ago at Sea World with the boys. Boy am I glad I lost the weight and started exercising I never would have been able to do what we have done this week without having done that. The river walk, Sea World, The Natural Caverns, & The Wildlife Ranch. It was all really nice I'll post more picture of our adventure later. Love to all. Beverly!
