4 more weeks

Today was the second weigh in- I have lost a total of 9lbs since I started as well as 2 inches off my waist, hips and thighs!! I am noticing more energy and the diet is getting better. I am so anxious for this to be done and see the major results!

6 lbs in 4 days

WOW.... This workout and diet really works. I did my weekly weigh in yesterday and to my surprise I have lost 6 pounds!! I do not know where but it is gone and will never return if I have anything to do with it. I was all ready to work out 5 days a week, however this week I came down with a cold and have not worked out since wednesday morning. I plan to be baqck full force Monday. I am sticking to the very strict diet so that I can still see results. I want to feel good this summer and again look good on my wedding day.

Day 2 of the Crash Course Challenge

Today I woke up pretty sore and layed in bed trying to talk myself out of going. As I layed there I actually talked myself into going reminding myself I have 123 days untill I walk down that isle and I want to be as beautiful as Jon thinks I am. I want to feel and look great.

So I got up and was ready for the gym. I got there did my warm up and then the work out was on. Today I ran 800 meters and did 60 pull ups 55 sit ups and 60 push ups. I believe the goal was to do 100 of each as fast as you could or in 5 minutes? Needless to say I am in more pain today than yesterday, But it is a great feeling.

The diet I am on however is another story, I can only eat 1000 calories for 3 days and then 2000 on the 4th day. I am drinking ALOT of water and taking vitamins and supplements for the next 6 weeks. Then I will get on a system that is more for life. I am so anxious to see the new me. I am not a patient person. I want the results now. I know I said there would be a before picture on here and there will be. I just need to get someone to take it for me. More to come.

Have a great day.

New Hair

SO lastnight Jon decided to have Bubba shave his head! It will save on haircuts, Then as they were in the bathroom shaving it all off Jon and I realized that we still need to do our engagement photos and invitations... oops!!!!

I actually think he looks pretty good hairless, I may just want him to keep it this way!

Chris then touched up the spots Bubba missed!

Can you say JELLO

I went to my first workout today at 6:30 am. It was fun but kicked my Butt, My legs are JELLO and it has been a challenge to do layndry so far. These stairs are going to kill me.
I am so excited to see the new me in 6 weeks!!

Yesterday Jon and I planted flowers for our big day and I am spent from that as well. We started at 9am and ended at 3pm. I was asleep by 9pm and up with energy for the day. I am in such a great mood today and am so very excited for the future!

Crash Course Challenge

I have signed up for a free 6 week work out challenge that is looking like it will kick my BUTT!!!! I am so excited to be working with my old trainer Lizz whom I know will help be look the best I can look for my wedding and myself! I will be taking supplements for the 6 weeks, weighing in once a week and working out atleast 3x a week. I am looking forward to the changes in my life. I hope that while I am doing this my family (Jon, Austin, Tristan) and anyone else will see how great is feels to be healthy and have energy to do things. I am looking forward to a active summer. I am tired of being lazy and having no energy.

Lastnight I took my neice liv and the two boys to the zoo. I am so out of shape and was ready to be done within like 30 minutes of being there, The nest time I go to the zoo I want to be running all over the place with Liv enjoying all there is to do and see. I want to be the fun aunt. I then went to the meeting about this challenge and was so excited to get started, I know some pople doubt me or think I will give up, But I am determied to change my life for me. I want to feel good about myself, I need to feel good about meself! Although I have the best guy and the best kids in the world I need ME to be able to take care of them. So with all this said I will post on here once a week how I am doing. I will show you all before and during pictures. (scary) I will let you all know of my successes and my failures. I know I have written about this all before but this time I am going to succeed!!

Scared and Excited

I just signed up for school to become a medical assistant for now and hopefully onto a nurse. I am scared of the debt this will cause once I am done with school, But I am excited for the new challenge. We have so much going on in our lives right now. Jon and I talked it over and we knew this was a choice for our future. It will be tough but we will make it. We have made it this far. Although we will not have everything we want right now we will have each other and our kids.

I have wanted to be a nurse for as long as I can remember. When I went to school today to finish things up a lady there was very discouraging (which I found odd, I thought they were supposed to make you excited) She said I will not make much (She is wrong) I will always be on the go and on my feet. She asked what I was making at my old job and said " You know you will not make that being a nurse?" I know I may not become a millionaire but I will enjoy what I am doing and I will be happy with my life. I have been in collections for 16 years. I am good at it but I want a change, I want to help people, I want to make them smile and know things will be alright.

Onto other stressful things- We are getting married in 4 months and I feel so not ready. We have the place, date and time, colors, tux's and our grooms men and brides maids. But nothing more. I am not where I want to be weight wise. I put the planning off really until we knew more with others things that were going on. Now that we have that settled it is time to plan plan plan. We need food, tables, chairs, invitations, photographer and so much more. Although it is a stress I can not wait to become Mrs. Jonathan L Wootton! We both want so many things in life and I know we will get them together.

Zakarys Two!!

Here are a few pictures from my little nephew Zak's second birthday! He is such a doll. I do not see him near as much as I once did, He is growing up so fast. I love this little guy and look forward to many more memories!!

Finally

Finally there is now a bright bright light at the end of the very dark tunnel. I slept better last night than I have in months and I think Jon did as well. It was so nice to have so many people there to support him. The outcome is good and this will all be over soon. We can now plan our wedding day and put into movement trying to get visitation for Jon to see Chelsea and Kody! He will not be 100% until they are back in his life. This road has been long but we got through it and we will get through the next chapter as well.

I am so Thankful for Jon and what he has given to Austin and I. Yes there have been stresses but beyond all that he has given us security, love and family. Austin adores him and would be lost with out him. We also have Tristan and although he is a handful I am happy we are able to give him a good life. He makes me smile all the time with his no teeth grin.

Our dreams for the next 5 years are to get married, buy a home, get the kids back in Jons life, Become a nurse (well be on my way atleast), have one more child and most of all be happy!!

Thank you everyone for being such great friends and family!! We love you all very much!!
