*First off, it's been since July 4th that I posted. And this post is thanks in part to Ms. Sweet Tea...aka LA girl! Thanks for inspiring me to blog after what, a two week absence!?*
Anyway...as you know or don't know...my son and daughter came to me from their dad's (in FL) overweight. My son ALWAYS comes to me overweight. He's sadly, short like me...19 years old and 5'3-1'2 and his father doesn't seem to give a shit about his health. So he comes to me this summer at 208. I am VERY proud of my son. Without too much prompting from me, he has stuck with his exercise program and with much food structure from me, he is down to 194. He leaves for home this Sat. I am hoping against hope that his father, my ex will see that once again, if you just put in a little care and effort, our son can be on his way to being healthy and a bit lighter. He should be about 150-160 but I guess living with his father, that's a pipe dream.
My daughter unfortunately twisted her ankle a week and a half ago and so she can't do much because the trip down the stairs made a child hood foot problem (osteomyelitis) flare up so when she goes back to her dad's for a month, he has to take her in for that. She also has to wait until she goes to FL where her insurance will take affect and have two root canals taken care of...so needless to say, she's in a lot of discomfort but she's a trooper. But yeh, it's inhibited BIG TIME her desire to work out. I can't blame her. So she sits at 143-144 and 5'1. Not good and on top of everything else...I've found that she has been eating candies in secret. That does NOT help!
When she returns in Sept. all healed up, I'm sure between school, work and me making her work out a little...she'll be on the road to fitness herself. She wants to be back down to 120...I know she can do it.
Now on to me. I haven't weighed myself for a few days. I am almost afraid to..I don't want to see 137 or even 136. I had a good run of days at 134(!) and 135.
I've been a slacker for the past week..only doing the tread.
After the kids leave, I'll get back to the weight training.
I've just gotten bored with the routine.
O.k., so, I've posted! And tomorrow I'll weigh myself for better or worse!
Man I hope I don't weigh over 135....
As Gloria would say...fxfxfxfxfxf! (crossing fingers!)
