So after a good week of workouts, however painful it was, I had my weigh-in on Tues. and gained a pound! Now I'm not really mad, bummed or anything like that. Maybe a little disappointed, but after the workouts I did last week I figured I would have lost something. Even with it being my birthday weekend and superbowl, I don't think I 'treated myself' so much to keep from loosing the weight and actually gaining! So now I have to try harder! Work out harder and really watch my eating! UGH, this is the part I hate! I don't want to have to change anything, just do it by cutting back. Not going to happen I guess! So now to plan out meals so that I am eating better without taking away from everyone elses meals!
So to add to the fact that I gained a pound, my work outs have been cut back some. Alot of the exercises I have to do modified right now. This is because on Tues. morning on our icy porch I slipped and went down on my bum! All the way down to the last step hitting them all! Not good on the taibone, hips or back! Two of which I already have problems with! UGH!! How irritating! I am not only limited on my exercises but also sitting and laying down are problems! I use my ice pack and take advil regularly!
So I've managed to get two work outs in this week, modified. I'm trying to be careful with what I'm eating. However I just don't have a good feeling that my next weigh-in will be good! Which means I will have to write down everything I eat and really count everything!
I don't like having to do that but I guess it will help me be accountable for everything!

First Week
Well today is the last day of my first week of training! After three days of hard workouts, first one was upper body, second day was lower body (legs), third day, today, was abs with some work to the legs, I have to say I am extremely sore and in some pain!! My whole body hurts and I have a really hard time doing alot with my legs!
I now have four days until my next training to get rested up. But I still need to keep working. So we will walk, ride the bike, and go to the school as we can.
I will admit though that it is going to be a long starting process! I knew I was out of shape, but didn't realize how bad I really was!! It's really sad if I think about it!
This kind of working out is also and adjustment for my body. Tonight after we got home when we sat down for dinner I couldn't eat it all. I ate my salad, but couldn't finish the small portion of lasagna I had. I felt like I was going to be sick. I guess in a way thats a good thing, then I won't eat as much, but I don't like the feeling it's giving me. To me its kinda weird. Another adjustment I'll have to make!
It's supposed to get easier as I go, we shall see I say! Hopefully it doesn't take to long for the workouts to not hurt as bad.
So, I have done the ice pack, now I need to take some ibruprofen and then lay on my heating pad.
Tomorrow morning will come early for our 5:00am walk with the dogs!
After a busy friday I hope to enjoy a somewhat quiet, somewhat relaxing birthday weekend!

Anew
So I'm back! Hello! It's been awhile, a long while. I kinda lost touch with my blog, but now that I am on the road to a healthier, better me I decided to start it back up again, to keep track of how I'm doing and to just have it to use as a journal as needed. So here is the start of anew, me on my path to being healthier!
Today I started a workout program with a trainer. I will be doing my workouts three days a week, about one hour each day for a 10 week period. The three workouts she has me doing are each different. One is for my upper body, one for my lower, etc.
I'm excited about taking this venture and making the necessary changes to get back the healthier me! I am a little sore today now. Hopefully I won't be worse in the morning, it will make work hard to do!
I have not decided if I will upload pictures of myself from the beginning and through the changes. I will however post my measurements and weekly weigh-ins.
These are my starting numbers:
Weight 214.8
Bust 41
Abs 36
Upper 36.5
Middle 42
Lower 43
Waist 36
Hips 47.5
Thigh 27.5
Calf 16.5
Arm 13.5
My weigh-ins are once a week and I will do a measurement recheck at the end of 10 weeks.
So this is where I am at now. At the end it will be a better me!
