Skipped a day

I did get all 10 mins of planking in the other day but literally did the last three mins right before bed.
Yesterday I was so busy printing envelopes for our wedding invitations. It took me about 7 hours to do them all. I've still got even more to do.
My mom's supposed to come help me with the baby today so I can run errands. Today's challenge is another three hours of being on your feet but this times going to be easier because it doesn't need to be three straight hours. Could be 20-30 min here, 15 here, or just get it all over with at once again. The calories will be burned!

Evening update

So far I've done 6 minutes. I have 4 left to go. I should've spread them through out the day more but instead I ended up with a lot to do this evening. My arms are really feeling it! I hope I conquer the challenge!
Will update in the morning what I ended up with total.

Next challenge

Today's challenge is ten minutes of planking. It can be ten one minute planks, twenty 30 second planks, five 2 minute planks, whatever you have the stamina for. I am just going to go for as long as I can each time until all ten mins are up. Ill record my progress and post.
Since now I don't have a scale I'll have to just go by whenever I fit into my pants to know how close I am to my goal.

Challenge conquered

According to my diet app in three hours I burned 351 cals, but that doesn't include the housework I got done, dancing with my daughter, or the little jog I did the last ten mins. Good motivation to get work done and the cal burn is worth the effort

Broken scale

It's hard for me to get back on track especially when my scale isn't working.
I was brain storming in bed last night on ways to motivate myself to get moving again!
One thing I came up with is a daily challenge.
They might be harder for some than others. For example, I thought to begin with my first challenge for myself and whoever would like to join me is 3 hours of constant movement on our feet. This means no sitting down. If a bathroom break is needed, stop the clock then get back to it.
This could be motivation for myself to get more chores done, or dance around with my daughter. Even if u want to watch tv turn it on and walk in place.
If u have a job where u are constantly on your feet this is going to be an easy one for you!

My goal is to get into my new jeans

No excuses in January

With the holidays over, I'm intent on dropping the holiday weight I put on. Yesterday I was 140.2, today I'm 138.2 so at least I was able to knock off 2 lbs. All I did different was ate at home, had zero alcohol (for a while there I was having a glass of wine every day, it does not help u lose weight!), I drank like 7 bottles of water! Did a short stomach exercise, which was day one of the 24 day ab challenge that's been viral for weeks. Google if u haven't seen it. I don't want to post and be accused of taking credit for it. I have no clue who the creator is. I've actually completed the challenge once, but starting over to do it again with Scot. Once that's over I'll do the next challenge I've seen posted on facebook, days 24-48. Trust me, it's rough but does work!

Also, I started nursing the baby every couple hours. She's coming down with a cold and I'm hoping the milk will be a natural remedy opposed to going to the doctor. We have no health insurance. So, I'm doing my best for her. I'm actually not counting my calories but I am doing the 8 hour thing. For example, I started eating at 10am yesterday and ate whatever I wanted until 6pm. A mixture of all that resulted in a 2 lb loss in day one of returning to my diet.

My wedding is 8.5 months away. Going to a bridal expo tomorrow. Have been trying hard to get planning done but still falling behind. So much to do! So much to focus on in 2014! Happy new year!
