I Feel The Need

The need for speed!  Maverick and Goose.  Or was it Goose and Maverick? 

Anyhow, I feel the need to lift some weights!!!

Ready to roll.  Haven't done much lately, while making a big move.  My workouts have consisted of going up and down, up and down, up and donw stairs, stairs and more stairs, carrying boxes, more boxes, kids, more boxes, toys, boxes, laundry, kids again and lastly, furniture! The move is not done yet, nor are we settled. Water intake has been good. Food and diet have been honestly, meh... Attitude has been meh, as well.

I will be weighing in, within the next couple of weeks.  I have had a "Post Ranch" follow up with my friends at ABC.  I have broken out some of my boxes labeled "Clothes Don't Fit", from a seperate move, years ago.  I squeezed into a 3X t-shirt!  It was tight, and short, but still, was able to wear it around for a day.  Plus, some of my nicer work clothes as well, that have been packed away. 

It's a marathon. Not a sprint.  The littel victories feel good though. We've been cooped up with boxes all around us, hardly any room to walk around our bed.  I miss doing the Cowboy DVDs and abs work outs with Katie!  I miss complaining about getting my butt on the floor.  I miss sweating together.  I miss laughing at the goofball in the cowboy hat on the TV screen.

Feeling defeated these last couple of weeks due to stress, work, and blah blah blah.  Hey, I'm human. But you know what else I am?  I'M THE ONE!

Why not make the challenge bigger right before and during holidays?  Everyone whines about "It's hard to work out when you have kids." "It's ok to eat a little more b/c holidays only come once a year."  "It's hard to stay on track b/c of time." All of them sound familiar?

I've said them.  I'm guilty.  The goal?  I want to be 400 or less by the turn of the year! 

I'll post my weigh in, when I get the numbers. But judging by the extra notch on my belt (the good way) and my tight fitting 3X t-shirts, that I'd be willing to bet that I'm very close to the 100 lbs mark from when I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes.

I feel a good solid 3-4 meals a day, 5 oz of protein with fruits and veggies coming on!

Who's with me?
