Bad company
Turbofire has arrived! Monday folks, Monday it begins…. I’ve reduced it to its simplest terms – all I have to do is pop a dvd in the player and then do what they tell me. For 20 weeks. I only need to lose 20-25 lbs – so this is doable even if I only lose a pound a week. I am so damn excited. But – it goes 6 days a week. Gulp. Pray for me.
Bikini here i come. Should that be my picture? My before picture? Geezus how none of you or anyone else will ever see it, but for me – shouldn’t it be in that bikini that I want to wear again so badly? I think so. Now to get brave and put it on. Argh.

Still with the headache and runny nose and the cough, but that’s about it. Not sure what to do about Ian’s cough. I called and left a message for the nurse this morning. Well see what she says.
I have that behavioral appt for Ian tomorrow. The one that has been cancelled 4 times. Since there is 13 inches headed my way – ……… ……. of snow …… I doubt I’ll be making the appt.
I tried calling them just now. No answer. Guess I call tomorrow and cancel day of.

I feel sated with most of the bills paid. It didn’t go as far as I thought, so we still need to sell a car to help fix the other one and finish the bills. Only problem, is MD is trying for a trainer job that will cause him to surrender the truck if he makes it. Not even a pay raise – especially not with losing the truck, the ins and the gas. But he wants it. It’s m-f 8-5. No on call. No windy days. No snow. No rain. No dogs. No dog shit. No roaches in houses. No rude customers. No threats when he cuts the cable off in the hood. You get it. I get it. I just don’t know what we ‘re going to do.
I am thankful that we were able to pay what we could, but it had been on back slide so much that it took damn near all of it to catch up. BUT – the car is no longer in danger of being hauled away. Cheer now. AND we only owe $150 on it. That makes me very happy. You have no idea. And I caught up the electric – which was a lot. The rest went to loans needed to get us through. If things would just settle down, we’ll be ok.
Take your before pic in the bikini while holding the newspaper for that day. Newspaper is a way if verifying the date of the before pic. Take a frontal shot, side view and a back shot- the side view is especially good for showing belly improvements. All BeachBody programs run 6 days a week but 2 of those days will be “easier” than the others. And you can hate me for saying this but try to ban the candy during this time. You can’t out-exercise a bad diet. I had to learn that the hard way and when it comes to weight loss, especially long term sustainable weight loss, diet goes a lot further than exercise. Remember it is 80% nutrition, 20% exercise. The workouts are great but the nutrition needs to be good as well. Chalene includes a meal plan and ideas with TurboFire.
Oh! And take measurements!! That will tell you a hell of a lot more than the scale will. Measure arms, chest, waist, hips and thighs. Track every 2-4 weeks.
