Day 212 + 213

Today after work I use my stairs and I did tricep dips on my stairs. My intention was to do 5 sets for each stair but it got really exhausting so I think I only did 13 or 15 stairs.

Yesterday I used my stairs after work as well, and I did push ups on each stair. I did 10 for each stair.

Back to the program for tomorrow.

This weekend we made plans to go on vacation in December during little brother's birthday and I'm so excited!! So i officially made a goal to lose weight by then. That was something that ididn't do at the beginning of this resolution for areason. But now I am determined to lose 40-50 lbs, but we'll see. That's about 10lbs a month,  which i don't think I've ever been able to do but I'm determined. I think moreso now than I've ever been. I've learned about myself that if i make easy goals, I punk out on them sooner than later so this is a challenge in willing to accept. But we'll see as soon as the slightest temptation presents itself haha.

So starting tomorrow, this means war! (against myself!).

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength!

Day 197, 198, 199

Tonight after work i did squats. As i was walking up my stairs,  i did 5 squats on each step. I think i have 19 or 20 stairs.my legs felt so tight when i got to the top and my heart was racing!

Yesterday i used my stairs also. Each stair i did 10 back leg lifts and 10 side leg lifts with each leg and all 19 or 20 steps.

The day b4 that i did overhead tricep extensions. My hubby thinks he's funny bc he messes with me whenever i do them. He tries to pull my arms back down when I'm trying to raise them. I guess the joke is on him though bc it turns out to be a better workout lol (arms are still sore).

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 188 + 189

Gonna make it quick, it's waaay passed my bedtime.

Yesterday i did tricep extensions. Tonight i got onto the elliptical for 10 minutes. Definitely losing motivation and trying to think of what i can do to switch things up.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 158

Tonight I did some overhead tricep extensions and some wall pushes. Just been a blah day.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 147 & 148

I'm posting 2 days together bc I forgot to post yesterday and I'm lazy. Lol

Yesterday I did 3 sets of 15 bicep curls with my 8lb weights.

Today I did 5 sets of 10 tricep kickbacks with my 8lb weights.

Did I procrastinate both days? Yes. Did Little Brother come in the room again? Yes, but I has an award ceremony to be at yesterday morning and wasn't going to make it on time bc I woke up late. I barely made it.

This morning I got to sleep in,  but instead of waking up at 7 like I wanted (yes, this is sleeping in for me) , I woke up at 8 and struggled to get out the door to the store before the zoo of people arrived.

Excuses, excuses...

So do I plan to wake up earlier tomorrow b4 work to correct past wrongs? Yes, but I doubt the hand that presses the snooze button will get the memo. (Did I just set myself up for failure? Yep. I sure did lol).

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 122

Today was a work day.  I did 5 sets of 15 overhead tricep extensions with 5lb dumbbells. I also did 3 sets of 12 tricep kickbacks with the 5lb dumbbells.

This past week was extremely stressful. I'm in the process of looking for a new job and I'm just super anxious thinking about it. That being said everything I had accomplished with my food choices weber out the door on Wednesday. I feel like I've gained 10 lbs but it's only been 5-7 (cookies are my kriptonite?). Because I blew it for a week, I'm not going to do my measurements for a week just so I don't discourage myself too much. I just want to get back on track and forget that it ever happened. I'll post measurements next Monday. I still never figured out why my phone won't let me upload pics. Someday I'll figure it out. I've got 200+days to figure it out!

Off to bed to get on the elliptical in the morning. It's gonna be a good day because I'm gonna make it one.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 113

So you'd think (well probably more me than you) that after 100+ days of exercise in a row, I'd be less likely to procrastinate. Nope, I still struggle. I know that if I don't do it first thin in the morning, then I won't do it. It's a reoccurring issue with me. Bad choices. I know better.

Anyway, today I procrastinated and ended up just doing strength training.  Four sets of 10 squats and 3 sets of combo bicep/tricep extensions. Gonna try to get up early before work like last weekend, I just hope little brother doesn't wander in here in the middle of the night again. It's always the worst kind of sleep when you're half awake/ half asleep anticipating a kick in the gut or head. Oye.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 99

Today was not a great day. Little brother brought me to my breaking point again.  I hope this phase ends soon.

I did 3/12 tricep overhead extensions with 8# and 3/10 tricep kickbacks with 5#.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 89

I just got off the elliptical trainer for 90 minutes. I watch Despicable Me 2 with my youngest son. I also did bicep curls 3 sets of 20 with 5 pounds and triceps extensions also three sets of 20 with 5 pounds, while on the elliptical.

One day at a time. one choice at a time.

Day 87

Tonight I did static holds. I worked my biceps again and also my triceps. I can feel them now and I love it!

One day at a time. one choice at a time.
