Oh gosh, I splurged and little too much last week. This is OK. I got it out of my system (until Thanksgiving) and I didn't gain one pound or one inch! Of course I didn't lose either, but I did what I needed and now I'm done. Now for the tricky part. I still need to loose 6 pounds for my next goal weight deadline in 2 weeks. TWO WEEKS! Yikes. No wiggle room. Put the big girl panties on and let's get this done!
Per my last blog post, I was able to increase my weights in BodyPump last week. It was hard. More so mentally than physically. Thanks to the extra IsaPro I added to my shakes I didn't get incredibly sore. Yay!
Isagenix has done more for me than just weight loss. I have experienced less discomfort in my hands and knees. And although Isagenix cannot claim to cure or heal any diseases or illnesses, I am pleasantly surprised to get my grip back in my hands, and my knees can handle more activity. Much stranger is the disappearance of the toe nail fungus I've been dealing with for over 10+ years. Even Lamisil didn't take care of it (and that's an expensive prescription drug!).
Truly, when your body receives the nutrients it needs, it will become the miracle it was meant to be!

Pictures!
Feeling pretty good today! I've had a productive weekend signing up for some 5Ks, shopping for new clothes and rocking my new body.
Wanted to post some pictures.
20 pounds released! 55 inches smaller!
First I have to say how much more happy and energetic I am. You know what they say about people who exercise and those endorphins. Yep, it's true! I feel happier for myself and for other people. It's amazing!
Then there's the shopping because my clothes are looking a little baggy. Of course they feel big, but when they start to look like they're going to fall off, it's time to bite the bullet and get some new ones. I bought the blue work out outfit yesterday in a size smaller than in the past, it's more form fitting than I'm use to, but I'm not self-conscience like I use to be.
Still going to hit the Y to shed the last of the belly, thigh, and upper arm fat. This week looks like BodyPump, Shred, Stair Climber, Rower, running, and taking a day off for a cleanse. If I can stay on task the last few inches shouldn't take long.
Thank you Isagenix and my friend Lori for helping me find my groove again. I feel better than I did when I was 20!

School is underway and a challenge has started!
Labor Day weekend! The sign of the end of summer and the beginning of school. Our school actually started this past week, so we have a week under our belt. The kids LOVE their teachers and have adjusted well. Ty enjoys having mommy to himself again. Mommy loves having a schedule.
Ty had his preschool screening this week. We got about 1/2 into the screening and the teacher stopped. He couldn't finish because he doesn't talk. Yay! Exactly what I was talking about, and finally someone confirms what we already knew. He needs help before starting school. Obviously we have two years before Kindergarten, but it might take that long to get him caught up to kids his age. Our next step is to have a more thorough evaluation by the school district to determine exactly what therapy(s) he will need. We should hear back from them in the next week or two to schedule the appointment. We are very excited for him. How much easier his life will be when he can talk. In every other category he's pretty much normal or above.
I have hit my goal weight and continue to loose inches and fat. I have never felt healthier and stronger. This morning I completed BodyPump class at the YMCA with heavier weights in all muscle groups. I can run longer and faster. Jeff and I have signed up for a 16 week Isagenix Body Challenge. Jeff is signed up for the Performance challenge and I for the Weight Loss challenge. We are both excited to tackle this challenge together.
For inquiring minds, I have released 19 pounds and 53 inches. Jeff has released 15 pounds and 31 inches. We've both gained lean muscle mass. Pictures will follow as the challenge progresses.
And for the kids. They continue to enjoy the shakes and bars for snacks. So much better for them than other snack foods they could indulge in. Larson has taken some additional supplements and we are happy to report that he has more control over his emotions. Maybe not perfect, but better. This is a game changer for him.

Sick kids and lost inches
It's been a while, but I'm back. We've had some minor drama in the family and I finally have time to sit down and blog.
The little guy has some kind of cold virus and ear infection and is being treated for that. He has become a super picky eater during this time so I don't know if he still has ear and throat pain or if he's just being silly. I've also been back and forth with our insurance, the speech rehab facility and the school district on Ty's speech therapy. Right now we are approved by the insurance for eight rehab sessions. I just found out that the school could possibly help him, but they need to do an assessment sometime in August. Today I will be contacting insurance and rehab facility to see if we can wait on those eight sessions until after the school's assessment. Why? Well the school's speech therapy would be free. Speech therapy at the rehab facility will be pretty much 100% out of pocket expense. Not a financial hit we want to take. We will do it if we have to, but we want to check out all our options first. It will be a busy day of making phone calls today.
My big guy had a pretty bad bike accident. Took a good chunk of skin off his elbow, and also banged up his mouth. Stitches in his lip and two broken teeth. Of course he broke his two front permanent teeth. We visited the dentist earlier this week, but his lips were so swollen and tender, the dentist couldn't do anything. We are going back in a few days to get at least a temporary fix on the teeth so Larson can eat normally and feel more confident. It's been a long week.
Weigh in time! Down another 2 pounds which makes 15 pounds in 6 weeks. I only have 3 more pounds to go to make my original goal. Once I get there I have to re-assess because I might want to go a few more. This week I lost 5.75 inches (total of 42.5 inches)! Which is huge because in the past few weeks I had only lost between 3 and 4 inches. I was surprised to find I lost 1/2 inch around each arm because I've never lost in my arms before. Also surprising was 2 inches around my waist! In trying to evaluate what I did differently this week, the only thing I can think of was Body Pump class and an extra effort to work on an ab challenge I found on Facebook (below).
Tonight both kids have sleep overs. We are doing a "child swap" with another family. Our households will have the same number of kids, but different personalities. It will be fun for everyone! I know the kids are super excited!
Onward to fight the good battle of raising kids and trying to be the best mommy I can be.
