Game Face Back On

My little pity party is now over and I'm feeling much better lately! The past 2 weeks I kicked it back into gear and really got busy. I finally got on the scale last weekend and it wasn't near as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was prepared for a full meltdown. But it was not bad and here we are again. Renewing. Recommitting. I mean, what else can you do right? I hate that I've talked about weight loss so much on my blog and it's embarrassing to think about how many times I've posted "here we go again" in regards to fitness and weight loss. I know I shall always have to fight this battle but ....a certain scary birthday looms into my future in the next few years, and I refuse to still be where I am today when that birthday rolls around. If I'm going to be "that scary age" I'm going to rock it.

I've been having some pain in my right knee the past few months, so running is out for me right now. I am not one of those crazy "push past the pain" when it comes to my knee kind of people. Sorry...my love for running is not that intense. So I needed a new game plan. I joined a new gym and so far what I like about it are all of the cardio options. There are arc trainers, ellipticals, treadmills, bicycles, etc. I've been trying them all out, and getting some awesome workouts. I'm still doing some weights at home, a little P90x here and there and also using My Fitness Pal like it's my JOB. My coworkers are starting a biggest loser contest in a few weeks so that should be interesting! It's $60 to enter and with at least 10 people in the contest...well you do the math. That's a pretty big pot and incentive!

I also may or may not have bought this:



Don't judge... (I'm loving it!)

Not much else to update! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend. xo!

We need to do that around here. Will never happen though. Brad and I should do something like that.
Soon..very soon.

If you ever need to see a good sports medicine doc, let me know. We have some at our clinic and they are awesome. I can totally recommend one (I have to play favorites, right? LOL). Good luck with the challenge! I did well on our first BL challenge at work last year, but have gained the 10 pounds back. I'm starting over again just like you!

But stop the talk about "that scary age", because *I* am that age!! LOL And it's not half as scary as you think it will be.

Hi! I'm new here! I've been reading a few of your posts and I really like your blog. As far as the dieting and getting fit part is concerned I know what you mean. I've been fighting with my extra kilos since I gave birth to my second child (a daughter) 9 years ago! Lately, the past 4 1/2 months to be exact, I've managed to loose 8 kilos (17.6 pounds) with healthy, smaller portions of food and lot's of walking. I do cheat sometimes but I don't get stressed about it, so this "cool", positive attitude towards this getting fit quest keeps me going and motivated. Thought I'd share that with you! Keep up the good work!!!
