Well I had my follow up appt with the Ortopedic Surgeon today and whoo hoo.. My bone density test came back normal so no worries there.. YAHHH .. now my Vitamin D levels didn't fair so well, the range is between 30-100 and mine was right at 30 so I have to stop on my way home to pick up some Vit D and I need to spend at least 20-30 minutes a day in the sun. I think I can handle all of that... I can run but ONLY after strengthening my thighs and hips up some to bear some of the weight and take the pressure off of my knees. The paper also suggested that I do walking instead of running for a while.. blahhh but oh well what ever it takes.. I want to get this bod to rockin so whatever it takes...
On my eating today, I think I am doing AWESOME.. I do seem to go over my sugar intake a lot but it is all from fruit.. and I am not going to stop eating fruit so my numbers look good.. I have cut out all the unnecessary sugars (candy, soda, cookies, etc...) so I think that the sugars from fruits aren't that bad for me.. I will do additional research and ask around but I just think that if I am gonna get sugars wouldn't it be better to come from fruit than other sources???? huh huh??
So anyway.. I also am excited because a few of the gals around work want to do the Brazil Butt Lift DVD with me at work.. that makes me happy to see that others want to get on the GET FIT Train.. I have a few more EAS drinks and then I am going to order some Shakeology.. I can't wait for that.. it is a replacement meal and I hear it is actually GOOD.. I know from the label it is GOOD FOR YOU but the taste is what I was worried about.. I hope they are right but I am sure they are.. I don't think that many people would stand behind a product if it tastes like crap.. or at least I would hope not.
I am going to try to go walking around 3pm today to get in 20 minutes of my time.. and then go walking with or without my mom and Russell later this evening for the remainder of my time. I need to burn those calories and get my heart pumping!
BRING IT!

Gotta get back to it
Well we are back from our camping trip and I ate a bit off track but nothing too bad.. I had a Dr Pepper .. SUE ME.. LOL but I also drank about 123425 gallons of water and equally sweated it out. But as far as exercise goes.. I walked every where I went and even went hiking a few times.. went swimming and used the stairs instead of the elevator (at the lodge we stayed in the last day due to lightening storms).
So today I have to get back to it.. and today isn't a great day for getting back to it but I am going to .. I am soo darn tired and need to catch up on my sleep.. yep gonna hit the sack early tonight. I have walked once already today and plan on doing it again after this post. I am back on track with my eating I am doing good with water consumption, eating low to no fat foods.. lots of fruits, veggies and nuts. I will try to get my mom out for a walk this evening so that will make 3 walks so I will at least get in my 60 minutes of exercise today. Tomorrow I am going to get back on my cardio kick and get this fat off my azz.. I want to start working on my arms too and hopefully after my follow up appt with Dr M tomorrow (orthopedic surgeon) I could start the P90X for REAL DOG.. I am super excited about and can't wait to see what type of results I get and Steve too .. I love working out with him.. he inspires me to be great.
So we shall see.. If I get brave enough I'll pin up some before pics so everyone can see my SUPER KATIE TRANSFORMATION!!!
until then!!!
I ROCK!

Did it Again!
Well today I had a super awesome day.. I ate VERY well and came in Under my calorie points.. whoo hoo.. I also did the BBL again and yet again it kicked my patootie. but I felt I did do a few of the moves better than last night. My legs and butt hurt quite a bit mostly my legs when I sit down or get up but it is well worth it.. and this weekend I will not be able to do any of my video work outs so I will work on my arms.. and hopefully be able to get in a few hikes to get in the cardio aspect. I wish I could run.. but won't know that until next week. Finger's X'd.
So I am gonna turn in early tonight.. stayed up WAY too late last night... no work tomorrow or Monday though so YIPPEE..
Bring it!!!

BUM BUM kicked my BUM BUM
Well I got it.. my highly anticipated Brazil Butt Lift DVD's came in today and guess who did a work out on it??? yep that would be ME.. so yes it is AWESOME.. I totally love it.. it is hard as hell though and I think that is why I love it so much.. I was sweating so bad it was dripping from my nose and I was standing under a fan while the a/c was running.. hard stuff I tell ya.. my legs and butt will remind me tomorrow I am sure. So I did Bum Bum tonight it is about a 35 minute work out with the last 5 minutes being a cool down period. I have a lot of work to do on the coordination front.. but most of it I could do just not 100% (yet).. I love it so much I am gonna keep it.. (haha, get it.. like a puppy or kitten) well anyway.. so now the dilema.. I can't figure out how many calories I burned during that work out... I tried Googling it and got NOTHING.. so I have placed the question on my Facebook status to see if any of the Beachbody folk may know and come to the rescue. I can't complete my diet and fitness log without that info... arrgghh
So Steve took some before pics and I can't wait to see the after pics.. I just know they will be ROCKIN.. I finished my work out with a AES AdvantEDGE protein drink to help the ol' muscles regain their something or another (insert technical stuff here) ... after I have finished the remaining shakes I have, I am gonna order Shakeology.. it is a meal replacement shake that per the reviews is awesome.. we shall see.. I don't like to spend that much money on something that doesn't work.. so IT BETTER BRING IT!!!
Well it is 11:06pm and I know I am gonna be tired tomorrow.. should prob start my workout earler than 9pm huh??? maybe tomorrow I'll do it during my lunch hour at the gym at work..
Until then.. have a wonderful night and sweet dreams..
You can do this Katie, Remember your goals always!!

Mid Day Bummer
So I did extremely well with my actual FOOD at lunch time.. only about 163 calories in all.. and SUPER YUMMY choice.. I had about 1/4th of a McAlister's Sweet Chipotle Chicken Salad (fat free dressing) and thought I was doing sooo darn good.. then I looked up the Sweet Tea I had and SUPER OUCH MART... 308 Calories.. ouch... so I immediately stopped drinking the tea and will either give it away or toss it, not the cup though it is recyclable.. YAH!!
I am slowly learning about nutrition .. even got Nutrition for Dummies (from the library of course, didn't spend money) and I will learn.. I have a pretty good idea about what to eat and what not too but really didn't think much about drinks other than things like shakes, pop, and other known sugary drinks.. I am not sure why I wouldn't have thought about Sweet (hint) Tea... Well I do now and I am fortunate enough to have great friends and one of them just took my tea so I wouldn't have to toss it, and she gave me grapes in exchange for it.. YUMMY.
I am trying to get a few gals on board with working out.. everyone can benefit from working out and eating healthier Right???? I know I wont depend on them to work out with because I know this is an individual goal of mine and working out is really an individual thing.. but it never hurts to have lots of support and a few buddies to work out with every once in a while.. but since we have a super cool FREE gym at work, why the hello not have some gals join me down there.. the room is plenty big enough... but I know, since I have done it before, that I can do it alone.. this is my Katie goal and I know I can only depend on Katie to do the right thing and take control of my body.

Morning workout didn't happen
Well just as I figured, the morning work out didn't happen. 1st off Steve didn't get a chance to read all of the P90X info that he wanted to because he went to bed early.. and 2nd I didn't get my lazy butt out of bed until it was time to get up and get ready for work. SOOOOOO I guess that just means I'll have to bust it out at lunch today and possibly tonight.
On a side note, I just went with Steve to get the volume issue resolved in the gym.. yesterday I used the P90X Kenpo disc in silence because I failed to push one measly little button.. damit.. oh well I still got in an awesome work out.. you don't have to be able to listen to work out and follow a DVD right?? I guess sight would be the only necessity. So anyway the volume issue is resolved and while we were down in the gym Steve felt he needed to show me the proper way to work a few of the machines since I complain about being a Nerd for reading the instructions in front of all of the "MEAT" down there.. so he was kind enough to show me and it is VERY apparent that I need arm and upper body strength training uuhhh like IMMEDIATELY.. I did one pull up using 110lb assist so that means I got about 63lbs of butt up in the air... I seriously need to get this little weakling arms up to shape.. and I thank God every day that I don't have those hangy things on the sides... long arms tend to stretch that stuff out... Thank you God!
So today's lesson will be Shoulder's and Arms.. and yes I know I am not going in the proper P90X order at this time but it is because I am just getting warmed up and ready to begin the P90X 3 month journey after our vacation .. plus I should have my Brazil Butt Lift dvd in as well and I can't wait to get started on that.. I don't really need a butt lift but would like to firm it up some and work on my inner thighs.. this dvd is supposed to work out 3 muscles in your butt (yeah you have 3 in there ladies and gents) , abs, thighs, hips, the whole shabam.. I really am excited... I have a few more AES protein shakes left to finish up and then we have decided to invest in some of the Shakeology drinks.. they are meal replacement drinks that have tons of GOODIES in them.. and yes if you think that I sound like a Beachbody infomercial .. good job you pay attention.. I am not a BB Coach (yet, thinking about it) but I know for a fact that at least one of their products works and that is P90X... I have also done a lot of research on some of the supplement products BB has to offer and the Shakeology product is top rated so I figure I'll give it a try.
So since I am at work I should probably get to it.. Just wanted to blab about a few things..
Have an AWESOME day! BRING IT!

I Did it!
Today I got started.. it wasn't a well planned attempt but it was a start and I am proud of myself.
I got in 40 minutes of Kenpo X and boy do I need some coordination skills. I found out quickly that kicking and punching really has an art to it.. I'll have to keep working at it, cuz I aint got it right now!
Tomorrow morning we (Stephen and I) are going to try to do it early in the morning so we can get it in before the nasty day starts.. so Chest and Back here we come.. Ab Ripper X may have to wait until tomorrow night because I am not sure we will have an hour and 1/2 to dedicate to this in the AM before work.. we shall see.. I have 20 more minutes of working out tonight so I think I am just going to do a few crunchers and call her a night..
We are getting closer to our Camping trip.. I am so excited.. also excited about getting my Brazil Butt Lift DVD set soon.. I eagerly go to the mail box each day like a kid at Christmas time.. it is crazy.. I also got Nutrition for Dummies.. I need to read up and learn how to eat better and why I am eatting the things I eat.. EDUCATION is my friend!
I can do this, I really can! I turned down home made Rice Krispie treats that mom and Joshua made today.. they look sooo darn good.. and also got offered a donut this mrng.. passed on it too.. I am doing great... actually when I was offered the donut I got this vivid image in my head of my butt and it had two donuts for my cheeks.. LOL I guess the saying is true.. "You are what you eat"!!!
