Another successful day. I feel so very encouraged!!

I did it!!! Another amazing day. I worked very hard at the gym tonight with my HIIT intervals and ST. I burned 755 then came home to burn another 101....you know me by now, do I ever just stop ;) 

I ate well, took my LACV and I truly feel as if I can do this -- IF and only IF I remain strong and continue to take each meal and each workout at a time. I cannot focus on the bigger picture right now, just this day...the rest will follow. 

I am headed back to the gym tomorrow morning for a spin class and possibility another one in the evening....double spin day...wow! 

Thanks again from my heart for ALL the support. Even through all the ups and downs, the weight loss and weight gain you have never lost faith in me and for this, I am forever thankful. 

Have a blessed and beautiful day! Good night from Norway!!! 

Going strong!

I am doing this! Day by day...

I measured today. It wasn't pretty but I need a baseline so I can see how much I can lose over the next 10 days. It is crunch time for me!!! My husband left early this morning for the US and I plan on shocking him when he gets home with my results! Gotta work HARD!

Measurements as of now and how much they have increased since  2011/12...

Chest - 37.5 - up 1.5 inches

Waist - 27 - up 1.5 inches 

Hips - 37.5 - up 3 inches 

Thigh - 18.25 - up 1.25 inches 

Bicep - 10.75 - up a little over an inch 

Calf - 13.75 - up .75 

I know I will not be able to drop my inches totally in 10 days, but my ultimate goal timeframe is by July 20th which is when we leave for the Greek Islands. The scale is bonkers as of late with all my spinning and ST so I need to take measurements to keep me sane :) 

Ok, it starts now! I have 10 days to lean out as much as I can!!! 

Today's plan is a spinning interval set followed by an ST circuit. Food for today is already prepped except for my pumpkin bake. 

I have to say, I am so excited!

To everyone on FB and Spark - thank you SO much for your support!!!! 

Rise and Shine!

Good morning!!! Here is my juice blend for today...

Beets, cucumber, ginger, lemon, carrot, cabbage and loads of fennel. So good!

MUST stay strong ---- 32 days until we head for the Greek islands!! I am getting so very excited :)

Doing well keeping it GREEN!

This was my morning juice blend! I had 3 glasses.....that will wake you up for sure!!! 

I had an awesome spin class last night and I am getting ready to hit the weights this morning! I will have another spin class tonight...very excited!

I am doing well with my nutrition, keeping it green and combining lean proteins with fruits and overall, I feel amazing. 

We will see if tomorrow's weigh in agrees with me :) 

Up and down...

What can I say about my dear friend the scale....

It has been up and down....then up and down again for sometime now. I am still not back to my reset weight, although I am trying my best :) The juicing has been helping but yesterday I ate a bit too much sodium I think and so today the scale was not kind to me at all. My running is on hold as of now due to my knees. On Monday I went to the doctor and I had an MRI on each knee then an X ray as well. I am going to see a new doctor on Monday to see if we can figure out what is going on. I have a sinking feeling that my October marathon is going to be SLOW!!! :) I might need to cut back my training....not sure as of now.

Back to the scale....

I now have 38 days before we leave for Greece! I am getting really excited :) We booked our ferries from the different islands and now comes the time to do research on all the amazing sites to see while we are there!

Today my goals are to be sure and get my PT and stretching in for my knee and to juice and blend like mad :) I ate a great breakfast this morning and I am ready to attack this day and give it my ALL :)

Wishing you all a beautiful day!

Back from Paris and ready to for a new challenge!!

We returned from Paris on Sunday and since then I have been doing very well getting back on track! I was so excited after meeting my reset goal and I have HUGE goals ahead of me this month. I will blog more about our trip on the family site, but it was wonderful visit to one of my favorite cities! It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday and it was a very special trip I will never forget.

On to the next goal!!! In 43 days we are going to the Greek Islands for 2 weeks!!! I am VERY excited. The last time I was in Greece was back in 2006 before my weight loss journey was in full effect. It will be so nice to go back and play on the beaches with my girl and have a beautiful time together, not obsessing about my size or having to cover up to the extreme as I did before.

First goal is to get back to my reset weight that I reached before going to Paris. I gained a few pounds during our visit but nothing major. A few good days of clean eating and juicing, I should be fine. My second goal is to drop an additional 9 lbs before heading to Greece. It will be hard but I know if I set my mind to it, I can reach my goal!!!!

VERY, VERY excited and motivated!!!! Will report back on Monday morning with my weigh in and weekend report!!

Happy Friday All :)
