New Adventure in Water Aerobics ...

In my quest to see if I can get past my plateau on the scale I have tried different diets and now different types of exercise!  Now that Ricks is a full time employee at the hospital we have Insurance!! Whoo hoo!!! With insurance comes a discount at exercise clubs, including the YMCA!  I was so excited I signed us and the boys up.  Even with the discount it still is a good chunk of change a month so I'm going to take advantage of all the classes that are free (which really isn't free just part of your membership but it makes me feel better to say free). 

So I signed the boys up for swim lessons, Caden for Soccer and me into a few classes.  I've taken the Ab class and also the water aerobics.  Let's just say it makes you work out like no tomorrow!  Of course you have the group that has been doing it forever and gives you the nasty looks for entering their class, the ones that talk and laugh the whole class and then the one nice person that took pity and helped me.

Let's just say it took a lot of courage for me to put a suit on and while doing the exercise all the loose skin from loosing the weight was moving in all different directions!  But it was a crazy hard work out and I can't wait to go back!

Now for a swimsuit funny!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Test Run of a Swim Suit

For many years now you wouldn't find me caught dead in a swimsuit.  There were several people that would always get on me to put one on and I never would.  I even had myself convinced I really didn't want to swim so why would I need one!  Then you have a really good friend say to you "You know if you felt good about your weight you'd be in one".  YUP that stung for sometime until I started my weight loss journey and knew she was very right.

We have a swim party planned for the boys and their classmates next Saturday but we just found out Rick's schedule has changed so our party has been moved up to this Saturday.  Which means I must get in a suit!  YIKES, I did find 2 really cute ones at Old Navy on clearance (who would have thunk that) for $9 each!!  So I now am braving a swimsuit, well that is with a cover up but still there is a suit on under there.  I'm moving my way there!  I probably will never post a pic of me in a bath-suit here, but I can do the cover up pic :).

So currently I'm down 103.2 lbs, I'm not going to make my goal of 113.8 by my birthday next Sunday but man I can't complain after a 15 months being were I am right now. ( I had to update Friday AM, I'm down 104lbs woo hoo!, 9.8lbs until goal)

Hope you all have a great weekend!

And We Wrap with a Funny!

It's been 2 weeks of some ups and downs here and just needed a good laugh.  I saw this posted on Facebook last night and laughed and thought I should share.  Since I took a water aerobics class last week and had to put on a bathing suit in a very long time.  It was great to fit into a much smaller suit size (going from a 3x to large) but the lumps and bumps did want me to run to comfy clothes ... lol.  Happy Friday!

And yet again I will do my ChaLean work out tonight and try to get in 3 miles.

Comfy pants won't win today ... lol
