Days 35 & 36

Our workout yesterday morning was delayed until last evening because of the hubby’s monthly safety meeting in Odessa. I didn’t really have any plans as far as our workout, so we headed out the door and started walking. We ended up a mile down the street to a close friend’s new house. They are in the process of completely gutting just about everything and every room, so I knew that I could show up and put the girls to work for 20 minutes before we headed home – and that’s exactly what happened. The girls hauled mound after mound of trash and “stuff” to the dumpster and were sweating like crazy when we headed home. I know it wasn’t your typical, gym or school workout, but it was a really good one! The girls were making me laugh too! Kitty was acting like Arnold Swortsinizer (that’s how she kept pronouncing his name) and Kiki was acting like that 700lb fat man character on Austin Powers. They kept goofing off and then Kiki mooned Kitty – right there on the street! Oh yeah – that’s my daughter… That last mile was over with pretty quick because we were laughing and having a good time.

This morning, I got up at 5am and headed to the girls room to get them up, but Kiki was already up. I told her to get ready and she said that she had been up all night sick to her stomach (bottom end). So, I canceled the morning workout – not cleaning that up!

Kitty is still disturbingly obsessed with her overall weight “number”, so I took their weights this morning but did not let them see the results. I didn’t take pictures either because the suggested act increased the theatrical drama and I didn’t want to start my day off MAD grrrrrrr.

Week 5 Results

Kiki: current weight is 128.1 – LOSS of 1.2lbs!

Kitty: current weight is 172.3 – REMAINED THE SAME – I’ll give her an ounce!

My current weight is 168.1 – LOSS of 1.7lbs!

Kitty is driving me crazy with the whole “number” issue! I’ve already hid the scale, so I am going to need to come up with another way to motivate, record, change – SOMETHING – so she won’t be so devastated that she isn’t losing completely unrealistic and unhealthy amounts of weight. The whole spin on we are training to run a 5k – IS NOT WORKING! (But we ARE going to run a 5k!)

I know I need to get really serious about the type and quantity of food we consume, but what else do you think I should do?

Do you know of any books that I can make her read that will inspire her to change her negative attitude into a positive and confident one?

Kitty just called and she isn’t feeling that great either, so any workout is canceled for today.

I know life happens and it’s not how many times you fall, but it’s how many times you can get back up that actually counts. Although it is very frustrating on this journey that I am taking with my girls, I CANNOT allow myself to get discouraged enough to give up or even let them give up. (AND I have been this() close!!!) If we are truly doing everything that we can do to become all healthier and bad azz – then shouldn’t our bodies become a complete reflection of our choices and actions? Why is this logic too hard to comprehend for some? Sighhhhh...help.
