Getting my groove back

I have been really bummed lately because slowly but surely my weight has crept back up to almost 164 (163 weighing in this afternoon after lunch). The lowest I was at after Christmas was 155.7 and I really wish I could have just maintained that. Of course that was right after I had spent two days throwing up from that virus and then the kids got it. This week I increased my weights while doing the 30 day Shred from 3 pounds to 5 pounds. It made me so sore the first day that I had to take a day off. Then I did it again yesterday.

Early this morning Becky, the neighbor, called and said she had somethings we could take off her hands if we wanted them. One of the things was a bike. An exercise bike but it's really nice. It has the digital reader, heart rate monitor, and an all around great piece of equipment. And even if I can't take it with us when we move (if we go to Japan) than at least it will help me right now. I really want to make it to my goal by summer. I have to buy a new bathing suit this year because after 3 years my other one, which hid my growing belly and saw me through two babies, finally bit the dust!

Today John is super tired and Garrett is getting sick so with them sleeping I have had extended time to workout. I did 32 minutes on the wii. From 10 minutes running to boxing to hula hooping and some yoga and stregth. I also did the Level 2 on the 30 Day Shred and might even go for a walk later with Ellie and the kids. Because it's so hilly here it will be a great workout and something we're all more able to do since it's starting to get warmer. Can't wait to get into this better shape I've been waiting for since forever!!! Seriously feeling good about all this!!!
