Nevermind the bullocks, here's Punk Rock Aerobics


Wednesday, September 16, 2009- Woke up at 5:15 am and actually got out of bed at 5:38 am. Dressed and ready for workout at 6:00 am. Worked out. Loved the burn at the end of everything.


That's what my morning was like today. Extremely satisfying in the way of, nothing coming up in the way of things and getting everything done on time. I knew I liked PRA but now I know I LOVE Punk Rock Aerobics.


Really really awesome news!


I lost a pound! YAY!! From 237.8 lbs to 236.6 lbs. In only two days. This is some real motivation, y'all. Nothing like losing weight in such a short time. Maybe I can lose 3 pounds this week.

If I lose 5 pounds this month, and next month, and next month, AND the next month I'll be

216 lbs!! HOORAY!!! Just in time for New Years, too. It'll be faboo being able to buy a size smaller dress for all the celebrations.


I'm going to post my measurements at the end of this week. Along with some pictures and maybe a video.


Keep on keepin' on......

Powerhouse completed!! Moday meanderings....

Today's powerhouse (or, powerhaus) was successful in kicking my butt. I exercised non-stop for 1 and 1/2 hours this morning. They only time I took a break was when I had to pull out another book from the pile on my bed and exercise from that. I'm really loving this so far, as I've stated before in this blog, I really thrive on being pushed to the limit. and today, I was pushed.
Here's a list of the books I used:
6 weeks to a hollywood body
Kathy Kaehler's 30 minutes to a hollywood body
Punk Rock Aerobics
Ballet Fit
Biggest Loser: 30 day jump start
Making the cut: The 30-day diet and fitness plan

I did ten exercises from each book. Man, I can't fully describe how fantastic I feel right now! I know I can do this! I'M GOING TO DO THIS!!
I can imagine the day when I'm shopping in the women's section and not having to walk all the way to the back and lurk in the shadows looking for a decently designed skirt.
I felt great this morning when I was getting dressed and my stomach already looked a little bit more flatter.

Guys, Gals, Kids, Sarah's back on the track in the Race to the Thin-ish Line.

Man, I wanna get thinish.

I'm Baaaaack!!!




Well, I finally got home from Chicago. May I say, thank heavens I was begining to go insane in the membrane. My bed has never been so welcoming as it was last night. I just flopped into it. It was an awesome fish like experience. And, I lost 2 lbs. while I was toddling around the Windy City. From 239.6 lbs. to 237.0 lbs. Hooray!



Monday, I'll resume my workouts. 6 to 7:30 am power house workouts!! Hoo-ah!



It was also a nice experience doing yoga in a hotel room. Never done that before. It felt....energizing. I've finally got the PERFECT workout week down.
Monday- POWER HOUSE!!!!
Tuesday- Yoga and Pilates mixture
Wednesday- Punk Rock Aerobics (PRA)
Thursday- Amazing Abs small workout
Friday- POWER HOUSE II!!
Yes, it works. It works soooooo fine, it's really divine, I'm gonna shine, just gimme some time!
(Sorry 'bout that crappy rhyme!) NO MORE RHYMING NOW I MEAN IT! Anybody want a peanut?
Okie dokie, then. I'm gonna go dive into my bed Michael Phelps style.
Ker-PLOP!!!

Inches gone, pounds on!

Well, I must say, Happy Belated 1 Year Anniversary to me!! *confetti in the air*
And, I need to appologize for not logging in earlier. The scale broke and I didn't know my weight until it was fixed yesterday. The reading was not good.

238.9 lbs.

And that's even after I watched what I ate even more carefully than usual! But, thanks to My_So_Called_Life, I was able to find a well illustrated book by Jillian Michael's that told me to "Take your measurements before you take your weight.." something I wasn't so diligent on doing. I've lost one inch in my abdomen. I haven't really been able to do that much exercising besides jogging due to the fact that I work, work, work, work, WORK all the time.
I run up stars, I run down stairs, I vigorously paint a door, I lift 5 gallons of gasoline, I run from a protective bee, etc. I'm always moving around or doing some kind of muscle building thinga-ma-bob.
But, On Wednesday, I'll take a trip up to see Chicago, and I'll be getting a lot of walking in that way. It's 4 miles to Navy Pier from our hotel and I don't think we're driving 4 miles in a crowded city. That's how French women stay so thin, you know. They walk everydangwhere!
Nevertheless, even though I've gained a few pounds I feel great about the inches gone. It reallys makes me think I CAN get down to 200 pounds by the end of this year.
That's only 1,2,3,..4 months away. If I can average 5 pounds gone every month, I'll be good.

I'm really feeling positive right now. But, I've also got that view of reality,too. I might not be 200 but, if I can even just be in the 'teens I'll be so happy.

Thanks again to My_So_Called_Life (yearning2findme.blogspot.com) for setting me back on the path to sanity.

P.S. I performed an at home Brazillian Wax a couple days ago. Not as painful as I thought it would be, and very appealing now.
