Am I crazy...or just fat? ;-)

I've entitles this blog, "Am I crazy...or just fat?" because today I walked half a mile to a little fruit stand with the boys in their jogging strollers, bought some fruit then came back. This afternoon I worked my lil socks off to "Fat burning Express" with Tony Horton. Then when the kids were asleep in their beds I walked another mile with the dog. (While my husband was home with the boys of course).
Now, I've entitles this blog the way that I have simply because I want this STUPID fat off me! LOL It doesn't look good, doesn't suit me and to be quite honest it just simply doesn't belong! ;-) So, therefore, am I crazy...or just fat? I think a lil bit of both! :-) I still have 80plus pounds to get rid of and the more I can do to get rid of it the better!!!
I never thought I'd say this but I'm actually loving exercise, not sort of liking it, not even just liking it but absolutely loving it. I enjoy the air, the pace and also I love listening to my heart, feeling my heart and knowing that I'm getting stronger with every step that I take. I also know that every fit person out there was not born fit, they had to work to get there. Maybe some not as hard as me but I can assure you that everyone with muscles has felt the burn. They not only feel stronger but they also feel a sense of accomplishment and a sense of driven goals, as though they can do more. I believe with all my heart that they can. I can. You can too if you want to.

From my Face Book page from today:

Loralei Hallet just went for a mile walk with the boys in their jogging stroller to a fruit market just up the street. I bought lots of fruit including a cucumber. On the way back William was getting out the cucumber and saying "Coocumber" and looking back and smiling at me. He just had some and immediately said with a smile "Mmmm... delicious!!!" lol....Where do they get such language? Its hilarious, really it is!

Loralei Hallet went for a mile long walk today and exercised (hard)...sweaty and feeling good!

Go girl, I'm proud of you!

Thanks Mom. I've worked really really hard at losing this weight and it's working very well...it's not down to your will as much as it is as much as you want to lose the weight. Last time I weighed myself (last thursday) I'd lost 10 pounds...I can't wait to see how much I've lost now! I have really been working out and also watching EVERYTHING ... See Morethat goes in my mouth...NO more cupcakes, chocolate or sweets. DO NOT eat after 8pm and curb the calories...it has been difficult but getting easier with time.
I'm actually following an eating plan in the power 90 book. If you're to get the most out of this program then youre to climb a 'ladder', called Michi's ladder. I'm sure you can get it on google. Anyway I haven't eaten anything at all in step 4 or 5 for the past week (as long as Ive been following it) and only in moderation 1 and 2 and just sometimes 3. So I'm doing good and I'm sure that I've lost a size or 2!!!
So I'm doing it healthily and l'm really FEELING the results! Who knows, I REALLY like this program and so I may even have abs of steel after this! LOL But thank you for the encouragement Mom! You rock!

ok seriously, most of what I live on - which tends to seem reasonably healthy (cheese, fruit, chicken, pork, bread, pasta) is in tier 4. No wonder I only just manage to keep my weight steady! Thanks for the link, Lora, that's really useful guidelines to have (not that I'm going to manage to eat much better but it'll help me not get worse!!)
The ... See Moreother thing I struggle with is not eating after 8pm, cos so many days I get in at 9 or 10 not having really eaten except for a quick snack before class! But such is life. I am amazed every time you update at how well you are doing at this, it really is inspiring

Loralei Hallet

Aaaw thanks, yeah I know I was shocked when I read all that was in tier 1-5...but it is if you want the get most out of the program...but its REALLY healthy anyway. But i suppose that cheese (non low fat) is really fattening actually...*sigh* so i have it only on special occasions

Loralei Hallet Bring it! Come on fat me! Bring it on! You think you can beat me? Come on, bring it in the exercise ring, I'll beat you flat out (or fat out if you will hehee)!!!lol

Loralei Hallet

LOL I'm such a dork...but I like myself, that's what matters.

Catrin Taylor

we love you too

Loralei Hallet walked a mile this morning with the kiddo's in their jogging stroller, did non-stop exercises for 40mins this afternoon (tiring and VERY rewarding) and just walked the dog a mile at a very fast pace (speed walking with her butt up in the air, very funny!)...Moses is learning how to walk at a fast pace and not run...learning, not there yet...but learning:-)

Loralei Hallet

Moses keeps wanting to run but I'm not quite there yet. To be honest I don't think Moses is either, I think that after a block or two of running he'd be tired and want to stop. BUT this morning would have originally tired me out, then this afternoon I tired myself out by doing power yoga and non-stop exercises...then I go and take the dog for a power walk??? Am I crazy? Don't answer that one ppl, I already know the answer ;-)
