Last Day

So although the contest ends tomorrow, today is technically the last day for me as I send in my weight on Friday mornings. So today is my last day to really workout. I have a big day planned too. I've been working out twice a day every day this week. Today, I'm going to push even harder by working out for a little longer doing my workouts. I am SO thankful though that my period came last week and I don't have any bloating this week. Plus, even though I still do it, I don't have to work out on my period. I really hate doing that because all I ever want to do is sleep and eat chocolate glazed donuts....ooh donuts.

So I'm off to get my day started for my last chance workouts.

Biggest Loser (Show) Finale

WOW! I can't believe Helen won. Okay, actually I can. When they brought her out, I thought to myself "she looks really good, she'll probably win". I am just so happy that Mike and Ron didn't win anything. I didn't like those two at all. But congrats to both of them. I feel a little sad for Tara cause she literally worked her ass off along with her belly, thighs, and arms. But it took her a long time to come to the realization that she really wanted to win. Scratch that, that she deserved to win. Oh well. The biggest thing is they all changed their lives for the better.

And speaking of...so have I. This is the last week of the Biggest Loser contest with the mom's group I'm in. I don't want to sound cocky which is why I haven't mentioned my standing in the contest very much. Because honestly, it's not about swagger to me or bragging rights. Yes, I want the money. Yes, I deserve the money (as well as others working hard). And I hope to goodness that I win. I am currently number one in the contest. And I just hope I can keep the lead. I am working extra hard this week. I want to win so bad. I will not lie. I will definitely be hurt if I lose, but knowing I have changed my life for the better will be a nice comfort. And, losing to one of the other ladies will make me feel proud because they have all strived so hard. These ladies are incredible and inspire me to keep going.

Whether I win or lose, after the contest I will continue on my journey. Because fitness is a journey, not a destination. And I am enjoying the ride. I have hit my current goal of 165lbs. I would love to be 150lbs by the end of the year. No matter what this has been a great time in my life. I have lost all of the baby weight I have ever gained from all three of my pregnancies. And I have knocked off weight that was just from Little Debbie and Betty Crocker. I am so proud of myself. And nothing, not even a contest, can take that from me.

Help! I've Been Robbed!

Somebody stole the little junk that I had in my trunk! Seriously...I mean it. My panties don't fit anymore. Yes, I said my panties don't fit anymore. Stop laughing. I never had a whole lot of junk in my trunk to begin with and now I'm about to suffer from flat ass syndrome. Now don't get me wrong, I'm loving the weightloss and my new body. But nobody told me about losing my ass. And, yes I was too clueless to put two and two together and figure it out on my own. I'm trying not to complain, really. But it sucks. I've never had a big ass, but at least it was nice. Now it's starting to deflate. How am I supposed to pull off being Janet Jackson if I don't have an ass? Yeah at first people will be fooled, but then once I turn around they are going to be like what the hell! So now I have to take money out of my soon to be hired bodyguards (to protect me from the ravaging fans) to pay for ass pads. Cause I just refuse to get plastic ass surgery. Do they make ass pads in cotton? Cause you know, I need breathable material.

GOAL!!!

Just popping in for a quick post to say I hit my goal weight of 165lbs!!! I'm really proud of myself. Anyway, no time to blog today. The littlest one is sick with a cold and is MISERABLE. So I'm off to take care of my little guy.

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Ooh!!!

Yes, I know! It's been forever since I've posted something. I'm sorry. Thank you to everyone who sent me emails asking what's going on. What's going on is my husband now works out of home and hogs the computer room when he isn't traveling. Last week he was out of town, but I was just too swamped with my boys and work to find the time to blog. And, then once I did get some energy, the husband came home and took over the computer room. Which drove me nuts because he has a freaking laptop so he shouldn't be utilizing the office. Okay, well...it is HIS office, but still. A girl needs to spend countless hours on facebook, blogging, chatting, and websurfing. But I digress...

Anyway, I've been doing really well. I'm still losing weight and last week I made some progress in losing inches. Which is what I really want. I'm doing very well in the Biggest Loser contest and I'm really hoping to maintain the lead because the money would be very nice. But, like I said from the beginning, it's about the money, but it's also about so much more. I'm healthy. I'm able to walk, run, climb, and wrestle without feeling winded or like my heart is going to jump out of my chest. So if I don't win (I'll cry my heart out, lol) I'll be happy because I have totally reinvented myself and that is priceless. Yes, money is nice. But being able to keep up with my boys and seeing myself growing old with my husband is better than anything money can buy.

Which brings me to the title of today's blog. NO! I'm not getting married. I'm already taken. LOL. But when I was thinking about posting something today, it's the title that stuck with me. So here goes....

Something old...I'm proud to say while I'm still a size 12, I was able to get into a very old dress that I haven't worn since after my second son's birth!

Something new...I got a new laptop. Although, it's small as crap and irritates me a little because it's so small. But I love it. The hubster bought it for me so I wouldn't have to wait on him to finish in our home office. What a guy! It's also an early Mother's Day gift.

Something borrowed... I got new books from the library, lol.

Something Ooh (as in Ooh la la)... In a few weeks, I will be celebrating my 6th wedding anniversary. And the hubster is taking me away for a little trip without the kids. We haven't been together without the kids in like 4 years so this is a very needed trip. Anyway, I picked up this awesome bathing suit that I plan to wear. I'm so excited too because I haven't worn anything this sexy to swim in since forever. And, I owe it all to the contest. It has given me so much confidence. I can't wait to surprise my husband with it. Normally, I wear one of those blob like things from Walmart.
