Hard... my arms are killing me and I could not get through all the push ups. The cardio is getting easier though.
I guess that's a good thing. Going to take a break tonight as it's game night and then I have a party to go to afterward. Gonna be good though.
Tomorrow I'll get back on it in the morning cause the rest of the day is BUSY!!! And S and S are coming over for dinner. But at least S is doing the diet thing with me so we won't be tempted to drink...
Happy friday

30DS Day 2
And I didn't die!
Not really much pain either. I'm probably doing it wrong.
Day 2 last night. I think after 5 days I'll up my weights from 3# to 5#. At least on some of the activities and then on day 10 I'll switch to the other level. EEK!
took measurements and pictures. Gah.. horrible but hopefully it will work and one day I can look back at them and say - yeah - that was me... crazy huh?!

30DS Day 1
Ok - so I bumped up Day 1 of 30DS to yesterday rather than friday and I survived... it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. Arms were a little sore this morning but not crazy. I have a feeling tomorrow will be baaaad. Arms were sore in the shower right after working out.
I did the modified exercises and I did not wear shoes.
Day 2 tonight!
oh and TOM started today too....

A new me?
So I wanted to see what would happen to me if I didn't post about food/diet last week when I started my new plan?? And guess what? I lost 4.5 lbs!!! Yay me!
So, what am I doing? cutting down on my eating. Following myfitnesspal to keep track of calories etc and so far it's working.
I also bought JM 30Day shred and I'm looking forward to doing it. Kinda... I figure I'll start on friday cause I'm deathly scared of being out of shape and dying when I'm doing the workout, so I'm going to run Nick to game on friday and then work out and then go watch him... that gives me an hour enough time to embarrass myself right!
I don't want to work out and then not be able to walk to work etc. That would not be good.
So wish me luck...
oh and it's TOM week as well - if it would ever show up ! Show up already!!!

October Financial goals....
Ok - my goal for 2012 is to get control of my money! But no sense in waiting until January to start, I'd like to get a head start now.
I have two major credit cards that I want to pay off - asap.
Amex - 1727.70 (has higher percentage)
BMO - 12270.00
I'm going to try to do the pay more on the high percentage one to pay it off first and then switch all my payment to the other one. Must still pay off the minimum on the lower percentage bill.
We do have some extra expenses this month with the boys' hockey but will try to make it work. also want to start planning some christmas gifts
for October I'm going to allocate $450 to paying off my bills ($225 Oct 15, $225 Oct 31)
Amex - 80 and 75
BMO - 145 and150
let's see how this goes!!!

Setting new goals
Ok - new season, new goals. Well not really new goals but new goals for Fall '11
Actually stepping back just a bit and going to set a weekend goal.
For Friday - today - Going to drink a shit load of water... and I mean a shit load!!!
tonight is game night so I don't need to eat dinner but I'll plan for something small.
Saturday - lots of running around to do tomorrow but I have to make a point of doing a fruit and veggie shop and cutting, prepping.
Sunday - Make a decent meal for us all.
Monday I have off.
Want to exercise a bit this weekend as well. Need to start getting something going. Going to talk to S about this too cause he's fat too and we both need to lose weight. Maybe we can do this together!
AND SOON!

MERDE MERDE MERDE!!!
Ok - it's a new school year which means that I can start fresh, put the past behind me and move on.
On the school front - R is now in grade 4, ended up with a good teacher and more importantly, friends in his class this year. Last year, it was a disaster when there were no friends with him.
He's playing football and hockey! So adding to our already busy lives. R made the A1 rep team for hockey and we are so proud of him.
N is in grade 7. It's going to be a good year for him although I'm sure he would wish it would just hurry up and be june already. Can't believe he's in highschool next year. It's so sad that my boys are getting older!
N is playing soccer and hockey this fall. Add this to R's already busy schedule and I'm not sure when/if we will ever see a family dinner table full until christmas. N is playing for the A1 team again this year and is showing some serious promise of doing something with hockey in his future. 2 more years until the draft so we need to start thinking about the next steps!
Ok - enough about the kids. It's time to talk about me. I'm good. This september was better than most in the past where I've been stuck in a funk. I do need to start exercising and eating better. I'm back up to 209 lbs which is disgusting and my clothes are tight again. Oh well... gotta start somewhere.
Still have my WW account and I'm going to give it a whirl on Monday. Get through the weekend and then start fresh on monday. Or maybe tomorrow?? Whaddya think?
Until tomorrow.. :)
