Weight Loss and The Wedding! Arrrgghh!!!

So this morning I got up and hit the bathroom then the scale! I looked at the number then got off and went to make some coffee. As I was standing there waiting for the water to heat something was tickling the back of my thoughts. I could not quite grasp exactly what it was that was trying to get my attention so I let my mind wander back to Saturdays Wedding while I made myself some breakfast.



The wedding was at the Ren Fair in Holly and since this was my first time going to a Ren Fair I was supper excited. Unfortunately I miss read the web site and showed up late. I got there just after the wedding part ended and was so upset that I missed my best friend saying I do. Luckily his sis is going to send me pics of the ceremony so that I can at least see it second hand even though....

Holy Crap, I lost weight!




My brain finally got my attention and I raced back to the scale and hopped on to make sure I had seen it correctly. It was down 5 lbs!!!!! I was so excited that I nearly started dancing right there! I immediatly ran into the living room to document the occasion for the world to see! Yes I was finally making progress, the world was falling into place once again.

As for the wedding, I was so happy to see Dave and Emmy finally tie the knot! Plus the Ren Fair was loads of fun. I took some video and pics of the celebration and the fair which I will post as soon as I get a cable to hook the camera to my computer.

Whit was dashing in his costume and I looked pretty fab myself! Thanks for the costumes Mary!

Well I am off to get in my workout for the day. I will post on that later!

Happy Training,

An I'm tired kind of day!

I am taking a rest day. I am tired and legs could use a break. Tomorrow I'll do what I was going to do today, and so on through the rest of the week.

For now I am going to take a nap.

Love Ya'll,
Happy Training,

Stolen from Marcy!

Sorry girl but this was too funny!

Everyone head over to her site for the rest of them.




Jenn

I hope this is not the outward appearance that I give. Honestly I'm not lying! Really!


























Whit









Well that answers a lot of questions for me. I just hope venereal diseases aren't contagious.

Oh, they are then?

Damn!

Another Day, Another 3 miler!

Did the Sansone 3 again today. I think I need a change for a couple of days though, I can only take so much of that giggle. I will have to dig through my workout video's tomorrow for some cardio. It may be time to bust out some Crunch Dance Party or Minna Lessig Emergency Workout. I have not done either of those in a while.





Finished up with The Firm Abs Sculpt. I had forgotten just how hard those Firm workouts are. Once upon a time I could do them with ease but these days I struggle through it.




The important part though is that I do it. I put that tape in and grab some light weights and my fanny lifter and commit to the time. I have done my workout 3 days in a row and I am still going strong.





Yeah Me!

"Spaghetti Arms"

"... This is my dance space. That's your dance space. Let's Cha-Cha!"

Sorry I just love that movie. Also my arms do feel like spaghetti right now. I just got done working out and oh boy am I feeling it. I did the Walk at Home 3 miler again and The Firm Upper Body. Actually it will end up being mild bad planning on my part because tonight is the push up challenge. That should be really fun!

I stayed well within my calories yesterday even though we went to Whit's dads for bbq.

I am so proud of myself!

Compliments Day 2

Last night we drove to Lansing to visit with Whit's Dad. Whit's sister was in town from NYC and we don't get to see her much due to distance so we were rushing to get there at a decent hour.

Once we where settled in the car, I put on my sunglasses and Whit reached over and pulled them back off. "You have the most beautiful eyes!" He said as his hand caressed my cheek.

God how I love that man!

I think I am going to have to take Leslie out for a drink for suggesting this little experiment.

Happy Training,

The Compliments Keep Rolling In!

So I was over reading The Weighting Game this weekend and came across an interesting suggestion. Way back in June she challenged her readers to ask their significant other what they loved about the readers body. (That sentence is really hard to put together!) I was intrigued! Now Whit and I have talked about this before but not because I had flat out asked him. It has always been just a passing compliment that was usually proceeded by an I love you.

So last night I asked him, and the conversation went something like this:

Me: Honey I was reading a blog today that had an interesting suggestion.
Whit: What are you starting this time?
Me: NO not like that! It's a body confidence thing. I want to know what it is about my body that you love?
Whit: Do I have to choose one thing?
Me: (blushing) No you can say as many as you like as long as it's the truth.
Whit: Well how about I tell you one thing I love about you every day till I run out and then start over. By the time I run out we will have forgotten where we started anyways.
(aside from Jenn: Do I have the greatest man or what?)
Me: Ok so what is today?
Whit: Today is the first day so I will give you two. First I love your smile. It was the first thing I noticed when I met you.
Me: (blushing and kisses)
Whit: Second I love your legs.
Me: (confused) My legs? What could there be to love about my legs?
Whit: They are strong and powerful, yet soft and beautiful and feminine and smooth.
Me: (blushing, kisses, crying) Have I told you that you are the greatest man in the world?





So now I have compliments to look forward to everyday. Thanks for the suggestion Leslie!
