An Epiphany!

As you all know from my previous post I have been working out very consistently for the last 4weeks and have lost 4 lbs. About 1lb/week. Its slow going, but healthy weight loss. Well, I have a tip for you all. If you'd like to loose 3lbs in 2days then I have the best secret....are you ready....Ok this is it..... GET STREP! I had the worst sore throat when I woke up on Friday, Friday night came and my husband was up with me all night while I cried and whined 'cause I couldn't sleep. Morning came and I went to the doctor and was told I had strep. They put me on antibiotics and gave me these really awesome suckers that numb your throat. The first time I didn't put it back far enough so it just numbed my tongue and I drooled a bit, but by the second time I used it I was a pro. I haven't eaten a whole lot for the last two days and I've slept a whole bunch. So tonight when I stepped on the scale to see if I'd kept off what I'd lost previously I was greatly surprised to see the scale read 125! Woo-hoo I haven't weighed that in a while. But, seriously...I work my butt of for the last 4 weeks and get 4lbs...I get sick, lay around all day and sleep and watch movies while my wonderful husband takes care of me and my daughter and I loose 3 lbs. NOT FARE. I guess we'll just consider my episode with strep a true body cleanser...I should write a book!

So if you'd like to loose 3lbs in 2days find someone with strep and share drinks with them, I'd say you could come over to my house but I've been on antibiotics and my doctor said I'd only be contagious for 24hrs after my first dose. Sorry! (: But you can look for my new book....

"How getting Strep enhanced my life."

P.S. It really has sucked and I hope that anyone that was near me late Thursday to Friday doesn't get it. I know I didn't share drinks or swap spit with anyone during that time frame so you should be good.

The New Year!

I started the new year out deciding I definately needed to work out. Since money is somewhat tight and gym memberships can get pricey I thought I'd have to result to jogging outside in the cold and doing workout videos that I've had since high school. Then I went to our family Christmas party and my cousin Hadlee told me about Lady Fitness and that she volunteered in the Day Care for 4hours a week and in return she got a free membership and free day care. I told her I was interested and she talked to the supervisor and got me a spot...luckily they had one opening left. So I signed up to volunteer 1hr Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs. that way it would get me there at least 4 times a week.

I have been attending 5 times a week since the first of January and am absolutely loving it. I run and lift on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, I'm up to 4miles in 40min...YAY! I do Zumba on Tuesday and Thursday. For those of you that have never tried it you've got to. It is so much fun, even for someone as uncordinated as me. So far its been going great. Exercising along with watching what I eat for the last 3weeks I have lost 4 lbs. Just 13 more to go, Wish me luck!
