Good morning fellow losers and awesome maintenance gurus out there!!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketI am feeling so good that the snack monster has left the building since my last eating frenzy. I mentioned previously that I had a plan to get back on track and I followed that plan since Sunday and the scale is finally back down within 1 pound to my goal weight again!! I AM SOOO EXCITED!! Last Saturday I weighed in at 163. So on Sunday I started my own version of Nutrisystem’s Body boost for the past 3 days along with my exercise routines and guess what? I got on the scale and it read 161 again!! Man, was I jumping for joy!!! The read is making me so excited and now I will continue staying on my plan so that I can reach goal. I can really feel it happening this week.

I really want to be at goal or under my before my 31st birthday on September 2nd? Because my hubby and child will be taking me out to lunch that day and I want to enjoy myself, but at moderation of course. A gal gotta enjoy herself every once in the while, but also keep in mind that with those occasional treats comes a reality that there must be harder work to be completed through exercise in order to keep that scale and weight loss in check. So that will mean harder workouts before and after my b-day. Gotta love it!!

Now thinking of my birthday, my lovely hubby asks what do I want for my birthday? I could not believe my reason because this would have never left my mouth in a million years, but I said I wanted an elliptical trainer from Walmart. I was like did I really say that? Normally, I would want clothes, something for the house, or go to a really expensive restaurant. I guess getting healthy has change my prospective on things. But the elliptical is really cool see:

Ellipticals from $94 at Walmart.com

The price point is also AWESOME only $212.00!! How cool! I told that right now I don’t need the top of the line, but this will do. I just want one to burn extra calories when I am just sitting down watching T.V. I also sit down watching my favorite show and wondering I could burn extra calories on an elliptical at the same time. This elliptical also had great reviews too. So I checked it out at my local Wal-Mart and it look great!! So, there you go this is what I want. I told my mom too, but I told her she could always get me a gift card to Wal-Mart hee hee. Otherwise if also else fails, I wanna go shopping for new fall clothes. I lots all that weight last and really didn’t buy a lot of fall tops and sweaters, so that would be good too.

Well, I better go, my little one is really ready to go play at the park before it get too hot.

Chat later :)
