Sorry I forgot.

So, we all know even the best layed plans don't work. I got sick on day one of my detox and given the fact that I was singing and being Heather's maid of honors just 3 days later I figured my body needed more nutrition then an all juice 2 day detox. So, that didn't totally happen and I missed a ton of work outs and I was stressed and blah, blah, blah. But go figure When I got on the scale at First Place (oh how I missed that class,) I was down to 172! Shocking I know, but I am just rejoicing that God is good even when I am not. 22 pounds to go. The end is definatey in sight. Well, I would love to share more, but I have to get ready for Zumba. Gotta get back on track and burn as much calories as I can, but I will post more soon!!! Thanks!!

the plan!

Well for starters, I quit getting up early which so I started today. I was up at 6am got in sometime with the one who matters most. Then I got in a shot workout with Leslie. I think these are 2 things I just have to do to have a good day much less lose weight. AS for the losing weight that is NOT why I am doing a 2 day detox. I honestly feel I let too much junk into my body and I am paying for it. I really just want to get it out. If I happened to lose a little extra that is fine, but after the way I have been eatting I am just praying I can be right at 175 for my weigh in this Sunday. Nothing lost, but more importantly nothing gained. So that is the detox. after Wednesday is over I will go back to eatting food, but I am going to step up my good choices. Like for breakfast I typically enjoy a bowl of half cheerios, half fruit loops, some fat free milk and a fruit. I think it is time to nix the fruit loop half. Who needs the extra sugar anyway? Also I have an addiction with Cristianos chicken salads. They are cheap and they are heaven in your mouth and did I mention FILLING. The only down side they are big enough to be a serving for about 2.5 people and when I get one I eat the Whole salad. yay, I justify it as well, that is my lunch and dinner and it is veggies and protien and all that, but really, that is not a good habit and it is encouraging my body to still over eat. Haven't I been trying to stop doing that for like a year and a half. Man, am I a slow learner. Anyway, I am focusing on baby steps again so that I can infact reach my goal sometime soon. The only other thing I will be adding is come March I am going to start weight training. I know I keep saying that, but I really mean it. I am going to get together with a friend who is going to help me figure out the details and I am gonna do it! Well, any way I should go get yet another class of my detox juice. Thankfully it doesn't taste too bad. Just citrusy. Oh well. It will be worth it to have my stomach back to normal! Talk to you soon oh and yes Heather, wedding is Friday so I will post some pictures of that too!!!

I have missed you blogger!!!!

Well, not really missed, but I feel pretty bad for missing my last few posts. But in my defense I have not been in my class either. The first week I missed because I helped Heather move to Or. The second was cancelled for V-day. But an update or rather a revized plan is needed. At least for me. Well, I think I mentioned in my last post that I am having an M&M issue. Didn't really get over it. Instead I let things get worse. For about the last 2 and a half weeks I ahve been eatting candy as I please, not watching portions and absolute worst of all not staying on routine a.k.a not always doing my Bible Study. There is no excuse and I will not try and make one, but I know this needs to stop. So tomorrow I am starting a 2 day detox. It ma not be the healthiest idea, but after I have put so much junk in my body I just need it all out. I don't want to say too much, but my stomach and other parts of me have not been doing well, with the added yuck. So I just want it all flushed out so I can start fresh. And with the whole starting fresh I want to seriously start thinking about getting on a weight training routine. I need to start building muscle or else my body is never going to fully recover and look and feel healthy. Anyway, I have more to say, but I also need to get my girls back on a routine, so I am going to go for now and put my little girls to bed. They were up until 11:00pm last night! Not good at all! Anyway, more details coming soon! Good night all, and God bless!!!

Moving weekend

Yesterday Me, my parent's and heather got in the big moving van and headed to Oregon. Heather is now officially moved and the girls and I are on our own! It was a fun weekend. Just me and my parents for most of the time. But due to the fact we woke up in Or. this moring we did not go to church and I sadly, missed First place and my weigh in. So, no news on that front, but I will share this. We stopped at Shop KO on the way home and I was thrilled to find a new work out shirt, a sports bra, a pillow, and best of all a new pair of jeans that were not only on sale, but were a size 12!!!!! I don't think I ahve ever been a size 12. I started wearing 14s when I was a jr. in high school and just figured that was good. I was pretty excited and very encouraged. I figure when I do reach my goal which is still 20 some pounds away I might just be in singke digit jeans. I am really looking forward to see what a healthy Amber looks like. I don't think I have ever seen myself at a truly heathy size and weight. So good times ahead! well, I guess that is all I have. I hope you have a fabulous week and I will post some new stuff soon! Oh, but if you want to see my new Zumba sight chechk out Zumbapraise.weebly.com. It is still kind of under construction, but I am excited about it! Oh and 24 ladies were at Zumba at MCN last Tuesday. Isn't that AMAZING!!!!!
