Yes, finding those weight loss stories are so motivating, but you also find that everyone has such a different approach to their weight loss. How do they do it? From major exercise routines and colon cleansers to medications like Stimerex ES, everyone has a different answer. So yes, you can get motivation, but how do you decide which approaches to try? Which will work for you and are still healthy? That’s a tough question that I’ll be researching and considering over the next few months. I want to push the boundaries, find something that works, but not make decisions that aren’t healthy.

Inspiration
The Internet has its moments when I think it is such a great tool – one of those is when you need motivation. By doing a simple search, you can find a wonderful weight loss story that gives you the push to make wise decisions to know you can in fact lose the weight you are seeking. Thank you Internet for the motivation I needed tonight to know that I can in fact lose a few pounds and get healthier before we hit the DISNEY CRUISE LINE! What are some steps you’ve taken that helped, were long term, didn’t require gym equipment or a gym membership?
10 Minute Workouts
I’m curious to know if anyone has used any of the 10 minute workout videos and if anyone recommends any over the others – which order to attack, that sort of stuff. I’m happy to see that it looks like they require no exercise equipment. As much as I’d love to have workout equipment, there isn’t room in our house. 
I’ve put several into my Netflix Que, and I’m going to try out several and see if I like them, and which ones I like best before making a purchase. Would love input if anyone has used any of them….
EA Sports Active
Wow! I’ve only done one day of the EA Sports Active, but I’m already impressed. It was fun, it was a workout, and multiple people can play (unlike the Wii Fit). I’ve already been looking at Wii accessories to buy the pieces so that two players can play on our new game. I’ve also gone ahead and bought enough Wii controllers and numchucks so that we have 4 of each. I am acutally anxiously waiting this evening so that I can try day 2. According to the trainer, it’ll be a slightly different workout each day to keep from being boring. I’ll keep you posted!
Completed!
I have had this week off from bailing hay between weather, family illness, and tractor equipment failure. But it’s been a nice week because I’ve gotten a good bit done, and Cameron has finished up 2 of her summer activities which will give us time to visit family and friends now hopefully.
Today was the last day of the Summer Reading Program hosted by our public library each year and today was the last day of her swimming class. That frees up two days a week completely. I usually don’t mind, and I’m happy to have her involved in all of these activities in the summer, but since I am working this summer, I’ve hated having to completely depend on grandparents to run her around the country.
This week we also got yearly vet trips taken care of. The dogs are vaccinated and we’ve bought our yearly supply of Frontline to keep them flea free.
The house is pretty clean. The pool chemicals are bought for the summer and the pool is in great shape.
Speaking of shape, I haven’t lost any more weight. 
But I am continuing at least 4 days a week in the gym and I’m able to do more on all of the machines than I was at the beginning of the month. so irregardless to me is the weight right now. At least I know I am getting healthier which was probably the #1 goal. But to help with the weight loss. I’ve just bought EA Sports Active for the Wii, and I plan to start their 30 day challenge today. Wish me luck and trying to keep up. I’ve had it a few days and hesitated starting it because I’m so tired some days and if we travel/vacation I’m not home to do the 30 days, but realistically, that’s my life all the time so I figured I might as well start today.
That’s our life right now. Busy? Of course….but still good. Keep us updated on your lives. We miss everyone.
