Urgh! Ugh! OUCH!

Yeah, I'm sore tonight. But it's a good sore. I finally got a day with my workout buddy. She's doing great! She's up to an hour 3 days a week, which makes me feel very sheepish. I'm still at 30-40 minutes 3 days a week. And even then I usually don't get in all 3 days.

Which is probably why I weighed in this morning and have gained 4 pounds. I hate the 260's. At this point I just want to be below 250!!!! That's not a huge leap, but it seems whenever I get down to 263 my weight starts climbing again.

So today we agreed to meet every Friday to workout and encourage each other. This is so important when you are trying to lose a lot of weight. It takes a long time, and if you don't have someone you can get together with and recommit every week, you will have a very hard time reaching your goals. This is the lesson I've been learning lately.

Today we decided to up our workouts to 5 days a week. I'll continue to do the bike Monday, Wednesday  and Friday. And I'll be adding Yoga (just the basic stretches) on Tuesday and Thursday. I'm hoping this, along with religious calorie tracking, will help me get past this plateau and into the 250's before the holidays hit. It is also really important to workout regularly and eat consistently through the holiday season so you don't come up on the new year 10 pounds heavier.

Other areas of our life are going well, though. Homeschooling is going fantastic! Little Meme is picking up her letters and sounds really fast, and she's even started "drawing" her letters in Sunday School :-P Harmy keeps us smiling and both entertains with their singing and dancing.

I hope everyone that happens by will have a great and healthy weekend!
