30 by 30.
What's that mean?
I will lose 30 pounds by my 30th birthday (July 7th).
There are multiple reasons:
1. It's nice to have a rounded number to aim for.
2. This will put me at my last lowest adult weight (from about 7 years ago).
3. I will be close to 200.
4. We're planning a trip to Vegas between July 7th and 14th to celebrate my 30th and our 5 year wedding anniversary (July 14th).
That's 158 days.
There are no more excuses.
That's 22.5 weeks.
There are no more excuses.
That's a little over a pound a week.
There are no more excuses.
I can do this.
There are no more excuses.
To put it in reality, today I weighed 244.0. I know, I know...don't start with me. So, by July 7th, I WILL weigh at most 214 pounds. This would match what I weighed in December 2005 when I was last at my lowest.
There are no more excuses.

Did you notice?
Did you notice I haven't updated in almost a week?
Did you notice I didn't weigh-in yesterday?
Forgive me bloggers, for I have sinned. I have been bad. I haven't tracked calories. I haven't been drinking the water I should. I've been eating fried foods, rich in calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium. I drank beer. Two times. And a lot of it.
I did work out four days last week. So I give myself props for that.
But, that's in the past. I'm moving forward. Tracking. Drinking (water). Moving. Living.
I want out of the freaking 240s. This is ridiculous. But it is my fault. I take responsibility. I'm moving on.
Oh, and did I tell you that I burned 695 calories at kickboxing tonight? Kicking some ass and taking names.

Kickboxing rocks my socks off.
751 calories is 45 minutes tonight. Awesome. Sweat was just dripping off me. Some people don't like to sweat. I love it....because I know my body's burning off that jiggly crap I have mounted up on my arms, abs, hips, and legs.
I even stayed a couple minutes and kicked the sh*t out of the bag just for fun. That's the bomb.
Jillian Michaels, eat your heart out.

Let's kick it!
Okay, more like punching, but anyway...
Max10 bootcamp is back baby! Tonight was 50 minutes of sweaty hotness. We didn't get into kicks since it's the start of a new 10 week session, but I got plenty of a workout! It was just like old times....jab....cross....jab-cross....hooks...uppers...and a combination of all of the above. We even did ladders on the first night! For those of you who don't know what they are, it's a set of punches up to a number and back down. So for example, we did hooks. You're with a partner on her bag....you start with one hook and your partner does one....then two each...three each...all the way up to 10....and then, you get to work your way back down! Now, it sounds tiring but I'll tell you this...punches are way easier than kicks when doing ladders!
I tracked my food today and I'm happy with how it went. I actually had the day off due to school being canceled (gotta love Iowa in January....combo ice/snow) and I'm happy I didn't let myself snack like I could have. In fact, I even took a nap!!!
Cheers to Tuesday!

This is what happens when...
you only workout once and you don't track your calories.
Weight: 242.8
Gain: +2.0 pounds
Boot camp starts back up tomorrow. I expect to be sore. That's a good thing. Time to get my act back together.

It's Friday and I'm still here!
Sorry I haven't updated...although I'm not sure I have many followers anymore...
I've been diligently counting calories and working out (with the exception of yesterday as it was my rest day). Thus far, I have lost exactly two pounds. Not exactly what I want, but I'll take what I can get.
I have an hour massage scheduled for tomorrow and I can't wait. I have a tightness just below my shoulder blades (I think it's from the gloves and bands I use doing tae bo), so I'll be glad (and sore) to have that worked out!
Exciting news for me is I'm signed up to do my Max10 bootcamp again starting January 23rd. This was a big time and financial decision and I decided I was willing to sacrifice both to go back. I'm glad I'm doing tae bo now so maybe I won't be "quite" as sore!!!
