Well, my Pitner version of UBC has been working out great! The first week was a breeze....everything was new and exciting and I was ready to give it my all. Last week, however, was a different story. John left on Monday morning and was gone until Friday around dinner time. That may not sound like a long time, but when you add in the 5 kids I had to take care of and taxi around (or arrange for a loving uncle or grandparent to taxi around for me) all week, it gets to be a long time. On top of all that, the little guy had bronchitis. So, working out at ATA wasn't in the cards for me but I did do Insanity and Ab Ripper along with my resistance bands. Eating right wasn't too difficult but when I didn't get enough water, I was munchy. Luckily I was able to power through and lost a total of 5 pounds during those first two weeks!
Today has been great! After getting the older kids up and ready and off to school, Brea, Landon and I ventured out to ATA and got in a great Kickboxing class! I love punching and kicking the bags. I need that stress relief! I have been drinking lots of water and eating healthy and often so I feel great so far today. I hope to lose another couple of pounds this week! I have about 10 more pounds that I hope to lose in the next 7 weeks....let's just hope I can keep this motivation!
The whole crew
Everyone smiling at the same time!!

It has been awhile!!
Wow! I just realized that it has been 6 months since I last posted in here. I think my problem was trying to post every day. There are a few things wrong with posting every day. First of all, it is just not realistic to think that I will have the time and energy every single day to write something new and exciting. Second, and this is the biggest problem with posting every day, my life is just not that interesting to everyone else!! Sometimes I wish I lived an exciting, action packed life. Then, I realize that I DO live an exciting, action packed life, just not a very interesting life to anyone outside of my immediate family. :o)
So, a little update on everyone. The big kids are keeping busy with all their sports....as usual. The younger kids are growing up way too quickly, and I get a bit sad when I realize that I don't have a baby in the house. Last year, at this time, I was doing Insanity and I remember that when I would workout, I would often have to do certain exercises with a baby on my hip! Where has the time gone?? The time has gone, but my extra weight hasn't.
This week has begun a new workout regimen for me. Since the new UBC is starting at ATA, I have decided to do the special Pitner version of UBC! I know I can't make it to ATA 6 days a week to work out. The times just don't work for me. But, I do know I can usually make it to kickboxing Monday and Friday mornings. I can do bands on my own at home on Tuesday and Thursday. And, on Wednesdays I will do an Insanity workout! I am going to also try to fit in a workout on Saturday or Sunday but I am not going to be too hard on myself where that is concerned. The kids keep us very busy on weekends right now! I am following the UBC eating plan so I am hoping that I will see results in time to fit into some summer clothes! Today is day 3 (out of 70) and it was a rough morning, but I worked out, had my breakfast and a snack along with water, and I feel great! I weighed myself and expected to have put on a couple of pounds the last few days since I have been eating so often and drinking SO much water. But, I actually lost 1 pound! I know it isn't much, but it is a start. If I could lose a pund every 3 days, I could make my goal weight in no time! :o)
Well, hopefully I will have something new and exciting (and interesting) to share one day soon on here. Until then, I will leave you in suspense, wondering when another post will appear and if it could possibly be as exciting and intersting as this one!
