Margo and I put ourself back on a new challenge... A Military challenge.
We both came up with this.... this weekend we did a mock PRT We ran 1.5 miles... did as many sit-ups and push up as we could in a minute.
Next month we'll show off our improvements.
Our goal? We're both buying a dress for Christmas that is two sizes too small from where we currently are.
My personal goal is to on Christmas eve weigh in at 199....
So numbers weight numbers aside from the moment
I ran my 1.5 yesterday... it was 19.54 minutes. slow as hell...
32 sit up in 60 seconds... again i know I'm ashamed
The pushups were hard... for a few reasons... there is a problem with one of my shoulders... a service injury that is going to be looked at next week. But I did agree to do this so...
Push ups 5... I know I know.
I'll keep doing my weekly weigh ins but we'll see how we do.

Mackenzie went to Public school today!
Oh wow... I didn't expect to cry. yes, I cried.
She was so brave... we got up like we always do... and got dressed in a new outfit. New backpack, new hanna montana lunch box.. it was very cool and Nana was here mommy (me) too off work, its two blocks to the big kids school.
Laura had to have a backpack on and she walked the whole way with us today... now mind you it was the coolest its been in a while here it was 57 this morning. But the girls happily walked on... as we got closer to the school mackenzies expressions began to change. From giddy to ok.. to hey I don't know any of these kids... and lastly... I don't know about this...
Saving grace a boy from her kindergarten at the private school we attended last year was standing with his dad and mackenzie saw him... the whole face brightened up... she was thrilled. I gave her a hug and a kiss and she practically ran into the building.
Thats when I started to cry... not the blubbery crying just a few tears... of pride. She looked so cute she's getting so big...
yes yes!! there will be pictures. After I go pick her up later.

So I'm 30 now. Old in the simming world I think. I think most people grow out of it by now. Most.
On top of that the other day would have been my 10th wedding anniversary... would have been.
I'm tired of being single... alone. The girls are only so good at keeping me company. I'm getting ready to by a house... but I dread the idea of living in it when the girls grow up and move out.
someone to cook for and come home to... you know. Cuddle up with. Vacation sucked this year because mom and dad were together, my sister and her boyfriend were together and there I was... hugging a pillow.
Anyways
Base weight... 221.... I know I know
Summers winding down, I can get back to taking this thing seriously again.

You know it has to be rather pathetic when you send yourself flowers for your birthday. Or worse have your own bloody party.
I'm 30 this year... feels older today.
I got out of bed, knowing nothing was going to happen. That was a regular day in everyones book but mine. Ha...
I've been reading this book lately called The Circle Within... its really a good spiritual book. (no not christian so if you go looking for it, be warned) Other people have spiritual paths to.
And its very insightful. No I'm not lost on my spiritual path but I think a good health reality check is always in order. And I couldn't help but start to see what she was talking about in it. People are in a rush, and we don't take time to go outside anymore. We're stuck in our windowless holes (officer, windowless for most. I'm blessed) we get in our cars and we go home, we go to bed we go to our cars back to the hole... what the freak! Get outside! I went to the farmers market today... and it was a different experience.
Same Farmers, same fantastic fruits and veggies... (good apples huge!)But I got there and it was a different prospective. I didn't care if I only had 30 minutes... (I was there an hour) I didn't mind the people who were in a far bigger hurry then I was... i stopped and watched the children dance to the bands... It was up lifting. And then I saw something on the way home... There is a warehouse just down the road and there were people not a lot only three that I saw.. who brought those foldable chairs to work and they were camped out right there in the small stretch of grass between the parking lot and the road... reading books, having lunch. Some people get it....
yeah I know... I'm ranting.
So shoot me I'm thirty!

I bought the ultimate mom-mobile last week. A maroon Dodge Caravan... yeah I know it screams soccer mom. but you know between the slumberparties and the girls, camping trips and everything it actually works out really nicely.
Whats slumberparties? hehe if you don't know by now... I'm not gonna tell ya. if you're curious you'll hit... www.slumberpartiesbykimberlee.com But i did warn you.
School starts again at the end of the month. Still working on the school clothes for Mackenzie, i know public school! Clear backpacks too, isn't that silly? Like what on earth is 5 year old going to take to school? Really, people!
I didn't lose any weight this week... kinda sitting ideal again. That 6 lbs really threw my system. It took me a while to get over losing that so quickly I didn't realize what a shock to my system that was going ot be.
Its going to be a hot week here, first one of the summer. And the Make-A-Wish Foundation Carnival is this weekend... so you know where I'm going to be... all weekend long.
Hmmm stay cool

What an aweful weekend!
First off let me just get the details out of the way.
Weight last week 218lbs
This week 217lbs
Yeah I know one lbs pat on the back for me... sorta. Well I mean its not 6lbs is it.
Ok,,, the weekend. Humanity in large I will alway assume is a little off. I live in a very... mundane town on a very mundane street. Everyone knows everyone else... all the kids play together... and we typically all sit on our porches chatting away about the latest you know whatever. Yes I know... the town time forgot. It also happens to be the town drugs for got and the town that school shootings forgot... so I like it. We don't lock our car doors and only a few of us lock our front doors at night. (I lock mine, I'm a single mom come on)
Well Saturday... in my nice quiet little community the houses shook... and I do mean shook. 1/2 a mile from my home... near next to the highschool my girls will be attending someday, a couple in the middle of a divorce had been fighting... the husband enraged that his wife no longer loved him took my little town by storm. He blew up his house. Damaging the highschool... 30 houses around him. the front door of his home was found 100 yards away... two women who happen to just be walking on that beautiful day were hurt.
The only saving grace... no one was killed.
But it was an impact that was greater then anything I think he could have imagined... for the first time in the 3 years I have been in that town... that night there were no children outside... no women chattering on the porch. The streets were silent. It was a gut wrenching silence.

Ok so Finally we can post something positive.
I hadn't posted a number last week before well it went up... the weight last week was 224... and I was horrified
But I guess before ever moment of hardwork comes that swift kick in the butt to do it.
Last weeks weight. 224lbs
this weeks weight: 218lbs!
thats right 6 lbs in one week! Finally over that 222!
I am 5 lbs away from my weight before I was pregnant with Mackenzie.

Spending the weekend with my father and step mom we had a great time. Out on the new boat with the girls it was laura's first time out. She loved it. We had lunch on the river and spend the day in the pool.
But Colette. (step mom) made a comment about our weight lose struggles. She had given up for the summer... why? Because she didn't want to struggle while everyone else was having hotdogs and potatoe salad she didn't want to have to have a piece of lettuce... at first I laughed and agreed. But the whole drive back to the house last night (all 2 hours) I rolled that conversation over and over again in my head. Was that why I was having troubles losing weight had I given up because it had gotten... too hard.
Wasn't that the point of a challenge? It's not supposed to be easy.
So the summer challenged me and I blew it. That was enough of a reason for me to get up early this morning and go for the mile walk. To cut the snacking and go back to just the 4oz of soda whenever the real need hit.
There's cucumbers coming out of the garden and I've got one cut up with my lunch today.
So... its a summer challenge.
My weight is at 220... that nasty little number will change monday next week.
I promise

ok ok Tuesday
I'm down a lbs... not a tada I was expecting but hey... its a start right?
So last weeks weight 221.
this week... 220. I know I know... that means we're into the teens! I should be like woohoo and yeeha! But I'm not.
I guess mental issues have a lot to do with how well you loose weight.. No... I'm not talking like sanity issues. I'm a lot of things I'm not a lunatic... yet. But there has been a lot of drama in my life lately and well I can't help but wonder if its effecting how I loose weight. I know it effects how I eat. The bag of potatoe chips and soda I had last night will agree with me. (little bag, little bag)
I know I keep thinking Police academy! Cop... Officer Powers... sounds cool right... and then I go.. 30 year old rookie. So?
So if anyone had any ideas how to get the baggage outta my brain so that I can get back on track let me know.
Still fencing for those interesting! Kinda cool really, I'm going to have to start seriously considering buying my own Foil and Epee now... Semion says its time to start considering competitions. Ha! They're giving me sharp objects... and I think I'm the one with "issues"

It had been months maybe since I've lost any more weight.
I've lost focus, track somehow.
My weight is still sitting idle at 221.
I keep looking at the clock in the morning and convincing myself that I need five more minutes. 5 minutes turn into 15 minutes and then there goes the gym. I should take a picture of myself add stick it to the clock... there are some horrible ones from vacation.
eating wise I'm doing fine... well not fine but not horrible. You know... enough of the maybe's...its always a maybe I should.... and what if I.... damnitt (if I can say that on a blog) just go to the gym and put that picture of and stop with the soda... just accept it.
I did good from Feb to May.... I lost what 13 lbs... now... its July and I haven't lost anything since... piss off? yes.... Good do something about it!
lol thats my idea of a pep talk. I know... I'm not right
