I'm still here

I found out the other day that some of the "New Change Program" actually take the time to review my blogs. I thought that was really cool!
That being said..how has my life been after the program...WONDERFUL!!! I'm still still doing good, but I did gain some weight back. I still fit in my clothes, but I can feel some of it creeping back up on me.
Why??? Because I stopped writing my food down and had that mindset "I can have this....." So, I am back at it.
I have continued to exercise since the competition, and I am excited about physical exercises I CAN do. I can RUN..I can SPIN...I can do ANYTHING I put my mind to!
Here is what I ate today
Breakfast
Tropi 50 Orange Juice 50 cal
Greek Yogurt 140 cal
Salad with:
Spinach 20 cal
Cheese 50
Chicken Breast 62
Black Beans 40
Avocado (this was a big treat because they are a bit high in Calories) 230
Piece of bread 100
Ocean Spray Cranberry Energy Juice 60
Naval Orange 64
So that's 814 calories so far...still have a snack and dinner to go but I'll be within my 1400 cal range for sure!
I'm going to try to get to the gym tonight too!

It's over......but it has only begun


Tomorrow, Otto, Amy and I are working out. I've taken it easy that last few days, and I have to tell you, I FEEL LIKE CRAP! I am not going back to my old lifestyle, that is for sure!


Wednesday night was great.....CONGRATULATIONS TO ZAC! I am soooo proud of him and Missy and Kristen. WE DID IT! We proved what hard work and mental toughness can do. Todd we missed you, I wish you would have still come!


I was appreciative of all the wonderful comments. I dressed up for the occasion. I don't think anyone has seen me in anything but sweaty gym clothes at the end of the day. There were a lot of surprised faces and a lot of really great comments on how I look now. It made me feel really good!


I can't thank my BFF OTTO enough for the CHANGE that has happened in my life because of him. He was there to lift me spirits up when I wanted to quit. Yes, there were times that I had enough. Working two jobs, family life, stress it all worked on me. The one constant I had in my life this last 12 weeks was OTTO encouraging me "Come on Mamma...show me..you can do it..show um what you are made of". I remember when he first had me looking in the mirror at myself. I didn't like it. I didn't want to look. I then started to see muscle and it was a shock to see my body transforming. He boosted my confidence, showed me what I could do and taught me to try what I thought might be too hard. He pushed me just enough when I needed it. He knew when I needed to vent and would take the time to sit and listen and talk. He carried me when I was feeling at my worst and I will never be able to repay the dedication he gave me. I can only continue to work hard and show him that I am going to keep this up.


Work has been fantastic and I have people asking me to work out with them and to show them what they can do. I'm excited about this.


I gotta get to bed.

xo to all my peeps out there.

This week is our last....it's hard to believe that its been almost 12 weeks.

I remember when I couldn't run a mile.....on Saturday....I ran 5.37 miles in an hour!
I remember when I didn't run a mile in a week....last week...I logged in over 45 miles.
I remember when I would eat a bag of Doritos for a snack....I haven't had one Dorito since 4th of July and I find I don't miss them.
I remember when I wore a size 20....on Saturday....I fit into a pair of size 10 jeans.
I remember when most of my clothes felt too small.....now.....all my clothes are too big.
I remember when I didn't think twice about what I was eating.....now I evaluate what I eat and enjoy eating good things.
I remember when I didn't eat vegetables.....now I eat a whole bunch more.
I remember that I used to eat out a lot......now...I can't remember when the last time was that I ate out
I remember when I slept until 6:30 am...now I run 4 miles by 6:30 am
I remember when I felt alone when it came to losing weight...now...I have an extended family at Dynabody that has helped me realize that I could do it!
I remember when I thought a personal trainer couldn't help me....now...I have a new best friend who genuinely cares about my overall health and well being.
I remember when I thought I'd wake up one day and be thinner and healthier......because of the CHANGE program, I am!

Missy and I went over to Whispering Pines on Sunday and she ROCKED the house. We jogged and walked the trail and it was awesome. We will be doing this again in the future! She encouraged me to try the spin class.....I loved it! That is another exercise I will add to my list of things I like to do now!
See everyone soon!

I'm not feeling well...my allergies are in high gear or something.
I'm stressing over a new class tomorrow. I've been teaching college since I graduated with my Master's in 2006, however, this will be my first class for St Leo University.
That's where I graduated from and I haven't been on campus since then. I'm excited because I now feel like a "real teacher", but annoyed because I don't feel so good. :(

My body is sore from doing legs on Thursday. I was feeling yucky all day and didn't get a chance to exercise. I do feel guilty about this, but I just couldn't find the time between my demands for work and demands for this new class.

I plan on bringing my gym clothes and running at the University tomorrow. They have wonderful orange groves and a beautiful lake. The change of scenery will be nice.

I am enjoying my new position at work. Did I mention that I'm also in charge of the gym? It got a thorough clean up today as I was getting grossed out at the lack of people cleaning up their sweat. When the CHANGE deadline is over...I'm going to start working on a plan to get our officers in shape.

I saw on old friend today. I haven't seen her in months because she moved away. She was amazed at how I look now, she remembered me at my heaviest..212 lbs. She wanted to know where the rest of me went...I told her I didn't care......although I still would like some of my boobs back. They have not been returned to the lost and found yet.

I was talking to Missy and her son the other day. When the walked away, her son came back up to me and told me that he didn't even recognize me and that he had to ask Missy who I was when they walked away. I cannot tell you how much he made my night. I still see myself as 190 lbs most of the time. If I'm looking in the mirror, I can see the CHANGE...it's just hard to wrap my head around it.

Part of getting rid of stress is getting sleep. I haven't had much of that lately. I've been getting up at 0430 to get ready for my run, then after the gym at night, sometimes I don't get to bed until way after midnight or so. That's one of the reasons I haven't blogged, just haven't had the time. So with that, I am going to go hit the hay.

OH..haven't tried it yet, but my friend at work showed me this powder peanut butter. You mix it with water to the consistency you want.......59 calories for 2 tbs...usually it's anywhere from 169-260! I will have to try some of this!

AND......my sons' other mother (Step-Mom of the Year April) has been coming to the gym. She told me she hated me because I've lost weight so she's been working out. I'm so proud of her! She's such a beautiful woman and the best wife of an ex-husband that an ex-wife can have! lol

and....my chiropractor said that since I've been running, my left leg is now shorter than my right which explains why I've been really hitting hard on my left leg when I run. I goofed up my hip a bit too so....I have to go once a week now....which I don't mind because I get an awesome massage by Kevin (who just happened to be my "first kiss" when I was in 3rd grade) (yes, it was a bit awkward at first, but we are over that)(and yes, my husband knows and is secure in the fact that I'm not going to run off with my 3rd grade boyfriend) although he does give a great massage!

ok....Drew is home on the moped.....for those that still don't believe me...DREW IS MY SON! So..I'm going to say hello to him (because I never see him..he's usually at work, school or at his girlfriend Sarah's house ) and then its off to dream land.

almost at the end..but its really a beginning

Time is not on my side....been working hard at working out.....working hard at work and then also my part time college job too. I'm starting to feel the effects of burning the candle at both ends....and in the middle.

I ran a total of 9 miles yesterday....I did 4.33 this morning....I'm off to the gym to put in some more miles. Then its OTTO and I at the gym tonight.

I miss seeing everyone!

Thursday, August 6, 2009

Exciting news….at least for me it was…….

So, I ran the 3.2 the other day….which is 5K so I did meet me goal of running 5K, but I actually want to go out and run a 5K.

Yesterday, I made a goal of running for 45 minutes. It was nice outside so I decided to run…..I went 3.75 miles, which only .25 of that was my warm up and cool down. I was totally amazed that I ran this far. When I went to the gym to work out with OTTO, he wanted me to do more cardio and I ran another 2 miles!

OTTO and I talked about my body last night. He wanted to make sure that I could see the CHANGES that my body has been going through. I must admit that when I look in the mirror, I do see them. When I put on my pants now (the size 12) my first thoughts are “these won’t fit me”. It is hard for my brain to grasp my new body. I still see myself and being a lot heavier. This will take some adjusting.

Someone at work today asked me if I was taking meds and the B12 to lose weight. I knew that this was going to probably come up at some point. The answer is NO, I’m not. I’m doing this the old fashion way. A lot of people here at my work have tried this medication is the past. I’ve seen them get pretty thin and then go right back up when the meds stop. I won’t be doing that!

Well, I need to go and run before I have to leave to get my braces tightened. UGH

My week on “vacation” was fun, but a lot of work too. I think I need a vacation from the vacation. Isn’t that how it usually goes? The German kids were great and by the end of the week, I felt like there were all “MY” children. This of course means that at some point during the week I wanted trade them in to Disney World for some cool Mickey Ears. Even exchange I think!

I was afraid that I gained weight , I was good on my diet and exercise, but not as good as I would have been if I were at home. I wound up losing 3.5 lbs. I was amazed and very glad too. I did prove to myself that I could go on vacation and not make completely horrible eating choices. I enjoyed the exercise and found I missed OTTO a ton! When I would want to skip my run, I’d remember him telling me how I had to push myself. I am the one in control and I am the one that has to make this decision. So…..run I did. I bought some weights too and did some shoulder/arm/bicep work and water aerobics too.

So I am back at work, in my new job. Change is good. I must embrace it and go with the flow. No sense resisting because it will not change the outcome only make myself miserable!

My workouts with OTTO started back yesterday. It was a hard work out, but a good one. I have to work late tonight so OTTO met me at the gym at 0530 to do weights. I was soooooooo not into it and felt very sluggish but he kept me focused and moving.

Postives for me this week:
Ran 3.23. miles yesterday in 32:38 (first time ever running 5K)
Ran 1 mile this morning in 9:32 (my fastest time)

Thanks to everyone for following my blog! The support is GREAT!
I miss seeing Missy, Zac, Todd and Kristen....I hope I get to see you all soon!!!

Keeping fit at Disney

I am currently in Orlando, doing the tourist thing with the 8 German exchange students. I've been packing my lunch and grazing through the day. I was able to resist all the crappy for me but looked really good food until today. I did go to the Bistro in France at Epcot. It was wonderful and tasted good but my stomach feels icky now. My husband I split everything and I had scallops, but I'm sure that sauce it was cooked in was full of calories. I did eat cooked fennel, which I have never had before, not too bad! The rest of my trip will easy to eat my lunch that I bring.

I packed my back pack with lots of water and stuff so it's heavy. My husband offered to carry it, but I told him it was part of my workout for the day. I wake up and go to the "fitness center" which is a smelly room with 1 treadmill, 1 bike and 1 stair stepper. I was able to run 4 miles yesterday and 2 miles today. I'll be up early to run. I'm starting to like the running thing. I want to run a 5 K.

The German kids are great and having fun. I hosted my first exchange student in 2003, his name is Ben. He joined my blog recently, which was very nice of him to do. Ben is more to me than an exchange student, he's my son. He's been home here several times and I love each time he visits. It's like he never left. I'm very proud of him as he is in college and works hard. At the same time, he knows how to live and experiences the world. He's able to find a balance. When I went to Germany to visit Drew (my son) when he was living in Germany, I was able to meet Ben's parents. Ben's Dad said something to me that makes the whole exchange experience worth it to me. He said to me "It is nice to finally meet my son's other mother". I can tell you I about cried when he said that. I had always felt like I was Ben's mum, but to hear that from his own parents solidified the reason why I do this. So, while you all know Drew and maybe my younger son Chayse, I also have a German son, a German daughter and a Chinese son. I love them all like they were my own.

Ok, I'm off to bed...tomorrow is another theme park to navigate.
I miss everyone at the gym and of course OTTO!!!!!!
Oh....I weighed in on Sunday....I'm down to 169.5--tha'ts 20.5 lbs!

Monday, July 20, 2009

1 lb down

Sorry I haven't blogged...I've been burning the candle on both ends.

Still only lost 1 lb last week...that's all I'm going to say to stop focusing on the negative.

My clothes feel great, I have been getting a lot of compliments. I have more energy. I bought new workout clothes!

Today, I ran 2.92 miles in 36 minutes with my dog, Bella. She was happy for the exercise and I was happy for the company. I don't think I have EVER run 2.92 miles because I 'wanted to'.

OTTO increased my work outs a bit and my reward at the end is to punch on the mits with him.
Boy do I love that part. I've been at the gym a little bit later this week. I've missed seeing everyone that I usually see.

My exchange students are doing well...just keeping me busy with work and running around.
I leave tomorrow to take them on a tourist vacation to Disney. I'm on my own for my work outs. I know I will work it.

My office had a shake up and I was part of it. Since I was the Senior District Commander, they decided to move me to help round my career. I'll be over Law Enforcement Support Services...it's a cool gig...but I'll miss patrol!

I'm off to bed!
Catch you next week!

Whole lot of craziness

My life is full...I know it...the world knows it........but I insist on adding more to it.

My husband and I are runing this exchange student camp. He's been doing most of the work, but I've been doing the behind the scenes stuff.

I only lost 1 lbs the previous week and dreading getting on the scale in the morning. I know I know..muscle weighs more than fat....still doesn't translate well to my brain when the scale is not showing how hard I have worked....so...in an effort to remain positive.......

NONE OF MY CLOTHES FIT. This is good, but a bit annoying when I put on a pair of shorts and they fall to the floor. OTTO had to deal with my pulling my pants up during a workout and showed me how to "roll them down"....that was special.

I went to the store to buy some shorts because I knew I was going to Orlando and Tampa this weekend and had nothing to wear. Prior to June 1st, I normally would wear anything from an 18 to a 20. My first instinct was to pick up a size 16 and a 14 for fun. I tried the 16 on, and they fell off. Hmmmm...so on went the 14. It felt big and there was a big gap in the waist line......NO FREAKING WAY....could it be that I was in a 12. I have to say my heart skipped a beat. I quickly got dressed and went out and grabbed the 12. Tried then on and low and behold they fit me. That felt goooooodd!!! In Orlando, I met with my best friend Sallay. She's one of the girls in the Army picture I posted. We did a little shopping and long story short...more size 12 shorts and...wait for it....size freaking 1o shirt. I don't think I've seen a size 12 since I was 14 years old...a size 10? I don't remember every wearing a size 10. I had to laugh at myself because when I was trying clothes on...I picked sizes that I used to wear.

I got to work today and my boss told me I needed to go get new uniforms. He said what I had on was too baggy and looked bad. The pants were a size 22. I fit into a 16 in my work pants. ( Mind you these are polyester, very unflattering pants) I went down a few shirt sizes too.

So that's the positive part of how I'm feeling.
Today...I got to box. OMG was that fun. I loved it. There is something so primal and good about hitting things.

OHHH almost forgot...I can run 2 miles STRAIGHT now. No stopping! I did it in 23 minutes today. Not so bad for someone that felt she couldn't run to the mail box.

I miss everyone and feel like I haven't seen you all in ages. Missy I hope you are feeling better soon. I'm off to bed. I have to get up early and make sure I get to the gym.

Thought I'd share some "before" pictures
















Back to Basics

Was focused over the last few days, but I think my focus was blurry.

Last week went by fast, I really didn't keep track of my food like I have been doing and I think that will come back to get me this week. I don't feel like I ate any more than usual, but something wasn't right. I haven't been able to official weigh in because I've had issues at work that I've had to deal with and couldn't get to the gym for the last two mornings.

Our exchange students flew in on Saturday. I was good with my eating as far as not eating junk, but I don't think I ate enough. I should have packed my lunch before we went to the airport but I didn't get a chance to. All went well at the airport other than waiting in line for over an hour to rent the van we needed for the kids.

Sunday, we had a BBQ. OTTO was able to come. He told me I could eat what I wanted because he'd make me puke it out on Monday. I laughed, nervously. I thought I did pretty good, but I did cheat. It's the first time since June 1st that I've had a brownie or chips with dip. In the end, it really wasn't worth it. My stomach was screwed up and I just felt icky. I need to get back to the basics with my eating and I'm working on that today.

Yesterday's workout was a shoulder work out
Behind the back presses with the bar 4 sets of 10
up right rows-- 30 lbs, 4 sets of 10
Giant set 3 sets of 10 with 5 lbs weight
Active rest in between

Otto said he wanted to take it a bit easy on me Monday and Tuesday but on Wednesday, he is going to kill me. hmmmmmm........I don't even want to think about it.

Cardio Day

I did 3 cardio's today...morning, afternoon and evening. I have been doing the elliptical but this evening I went back to running. I ran my mile and fast walked the rest.

A few people stopped me to tell me how good I was doing and they could see a big difference. Those kind of unsolicited comments are the best. I feel like I'm not just in this with the other 5 Amazing people, but I have a whole gym family that is behind us. For the most part, my life consist of work and my children. I have a few select friends, but in my job, it's hard to branch out to meet new people. I am enjoying seeing and meeting new people. Letting my guard down and accepting the support from everyone around me to help me accomplish my goals.

I mentioned earlier that the Army cadence songs have helped pushed me in my running. I imagine that I'm running with a platoon. When you are doing this for real, dropping out is letting your platoon, your buddies, down. You can't do that. At the same time, if you are struggling, it's your platoon that supports you through the run. On most occasions, the slowest person is put on the left front spot, they set the pace. You sing the cadence to keep focused on running and the people next to you encourage you to keep going and to push yourself. If you drop out, the platoon usually circles around and picks you back up. It's more than running, it's bonding. It's pushing yourself so your buddies don't have to run more. Dynabody is my platoon. I'm pushing myself so that other can see that they can do it too. Those more fit than me are picking me up and pushing me on to help me achieve my goals. Everyone that works the front desk and says hello...they always have something nice to say...they start my workout with a positive vibe. Of course I can't forget Drill Sergeant OTTO. The person who looks through my whining and my eye rolling and continues to show me that I can push myself further than I ever thought.

Thanks just doesn't even cover it!

Back to being focused

After my melt down, I realized I needed to re-focus. I'm always in control, even when I feel like I'm not. I was in control of the way I responded to OTTO and didn't say the things that I was wanting to say.....that took a lot of effort. :) So, it was only the illusion of not being in control that freaked me out.

I find with every work out, I am becoming more confident. People have noticed this change at work, although some are not too happy about it. As Colin Powell says "Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off"

My husband and I are running an exchange student camp for 3 weeks this summer. We have 8 German students flying in on Saturday. I won't be able to make the bike ride :( The next 3 weeks are going to be tough fitting in my workouts but I'm gonna do it!

My work out today:
Lat pull downs to back
3 sets of 15 with 70 lbs
1 set of 10 with 80 lbs
Drop set starting with 1 set of 8 with 90 lbs
I think I conked my head with the bar a few times with this one

Seated Row Machine
4 sets of 15 with 60 lbs

Lower back/Ab Circuit

Long day in general for me!

Mental Melt Down

So my day started out pretty good. 16 lbs down. Not bad.

My workout with Otto started out bad.

We were doing Arnold Presses and I was struggling. I couldn't figure out why and felt really defeated by the time I got to the last set. I think that set the mood for the rest of my night. Come to find out, last time I did Arnold Presses, I did it with 8lb weights and tonight, I was using the 15 lbs weights. Duh, right? Still, my mood was off.

I could feel myself getting whinier by the minute which didn't phase OTTO...which is a good thing.

So, Arnold Presses--4 sets of 12 with 15 lbs
Front detloid cable raises 2 sets of 12 with 20 lbs and 1 set of 15 with 20
Lateral raises 30 lbs for 10, 20 for 10, 15 for 12, 15 for 12
Rear deltoid extensions 30 lbs for 10, 15 lbs for 12, 15lbs for 12
active rest in between sets

After this it was a circuit of exercises for 5 minutes. By this time, I was done. Mentally done and physically done. I didn't want to do anymore. Half way into this 5 minutes of hell, I just stopped and said "I'm done". Otto just blankly looked at me and said "what"...I said "I'm done, I don't want to do this anymore" At that moment he stepped in to say something to me about not quitting, I'm not really sure what, however the perceived aggressiveness of him stepping into "my space" set me over the edge. At that particular moment OTTO became "A man" trying to tell me what to do. I won't go into specifics in a public blog about the things that have happened to me in the past, but I can tell you that I have very good reason to feel the way that I do. I pride myself on being in control and vowed to never let a man ( or woman for that matter) dominate me ever again. Inside, I wanted to yell at OTTO, scream at him...snap his head off. I had to bite the inside of my cheek and I started doing the jumping jacks and finished the exercises but I didn't respond to really anything other than that. I laid there on the mat and he gave me my time to relax. I quickly was back into reality, realizing what had just occurred. I felt bad, really awful that I was about ready to snap on OTTO. I was just out of my comfort zone and in a place that I haven't been and vowed I would never be, which was not in control. I briefly told OTTO that I was in a place that I didn't like. He said he knew, that he saw something change in me. He said pushing me was going to bring up old emotions/issues and we'd work through them.

I left the gym, cried all the way home. My poor husband had no idea what was wrong with me. He grabbed my hands to pull me in to hug him. I looked up at him and said "Let go of my hands, don't restrict my movement right now. It's not you, it's me" He gave me my space and I explained everything to him later on.

I emailed OTTO and told him how I was feeling, why I felt this way. His answer was pretty simple, that I was always in control of how I react to situations. He's right. I also apologized for the things I was "thinking" I wanted to do to him and that I appreciated all the time and effort he was putting into me to see me succeed. I also asked for him not to ease up on me (which I'm sure he wouldn't anyway) as I need that pushing as I need to confront the past. When it all boils down to it, the past is the reason why I was comfortable with gaining weight to begin with. As confident as I can appear in my uniform, there is always a crack there. Now I have seen that, I'm gonna work hard on fixing it.

Thanks OTTO for not taking it personally. :)

Show down with my Arch-Nemesis

I got to see my Arch-Nemesis today. We had a stare down for several minutes. I approached, feeling lost without my sidearm, but knowing that I had to confront this beast, even barehanded. I was confident in my abilities to take him down, I've been trained. However, I still had a bit of hesitation, and in my line of work, that will get you killed.

I finally did it and he was as cold and careless as I expected, however, he could not bulk at the CHANGE that happened this week. 4 lbs down....16 total so far.

I laughed at him when I walked away.......

07/03-07/05

OTTO is on a much deserved break from me. I know seeing me everyday has it’s perks, but I’m sure it gets to a person after awhile….ask my husband! :)

On Monday, I wanted to see if I could run. I hate running, never been very good at it. I did download some Army Cadence songs to see if they would help. So..on Monday, I ran a mile straight. This was a great accomplishment for me! The next day, I went 1.5 and the day after 1.7. Since last Monday, I have run 17.26 miles!!!! ( I did walk some of it) So this has been my new cardio that I’ve been enjoying. I’m staying focused!

Tried some clothes on over the weekend….they don’t fit! Bought two new dress, both size 14..haven’t seen that size in about 17 years. I told Drew that and he said “HMMMM, that directly correlates with my birth, right?” YEPPERS!!!

So, I did Cardio all weekend and the awesome pool work with Anna-Marie. I was off on Friday so I hit the water aerobics class. Zach and I got to be super heroes with resistance fins on our ankles while we swam. On Saturday Zach, Kristen, Missy, Todd and his wife El had a good workout in the pool. It was great seeing everyone! Everyone is working hard and noticing CHANGE! KEEP IT UP!!!

Banging my head!

Long day at work, went by too slow for a 3 day weekend. UGH.
Got to the gym and started my warm up.
I’m not really sure what happened but we didn’t write down what I did tonight.
It was some new stuff so I’m not sure of the technical terms.

For some reason, today, I was pretty whiny about everything. OTTO even asked me why I was whining so much. Had a bit of a stressful day at work and at work, I can’t whine. I explained that at times, I just whine. It doesn’t mean that our work out has to be changed in anyway but it feels better if I whine about it. He was good with it and didn’t let me slide. At one point he was torturing me with this stick I had to hold out in front of me and wind a weight up on. I had to control it on the way up and one the way down. On the last one, my forearms were screaming and my writs were done. I thought OTTO was watching the weight so I cheated a bit and let it down with my fingers…DRAT I was caught. I had to do it over again….he wound it back up but I was trying to do it and laughing at the same time and ½ way down, he wound it back up and made me do over for laughing too much. The punishment was well deserved….kinda like banging my head on that tree. Some of them, you just have to take.
