I < 3 Tennis!!!!!

So my boys were on Fall break half of last week, so I decided we needed to do something awful. Konnor wasn't up for it so I took my oldest Riley and my two nieces, Jailynn and Lexi to play Tennis at the private course! NOW, I had not played or attempted to play in probably 10 years. However, 10 yrs ago my mom bought me this bag, 3 rackets, a ton of balls, all the gear you need, etc in HS in hopes of me getting off the couch. it did not motivate me then b/c I was too lazy and I sucked at it. I got so winded runnin' after the ball.

So my recent move I saw my tennis bag in storage and stuck it in my car in hopes of playing again sometime soon to see IF I had gotten any better after losing 88 lbs! 

So we go all ready and set up and I was actually good. Good enough to teach the kids the basics, didn't get winded, chased them and all the balls all over the place. 

I FELL IN LOVE!
















Riley and Lexi ended up being naturals and Jailynn struggled but we all had a blast. Unexpectedly got up to 90 that am so they got a little too hot! Oops! But I never even started sweating in the hour we played and ran all over...but I'm pretty used to extreme heat by now!

Update: I went this morning to play by myself after takin' the boys to school. Decided I wanted to go solo and see how hardcore I can be, challenging myself. Rented the wall space where you hit it off the wall and play with yourself (hehe) and it was a ton of fun! I played for 45 mins before my cousin invited me to breakfast at Ihop (which I could not resist, she paid!) But in that time I was sweatin' my ass off, runnin' all over the damn court, sneakers makin' weird noses. It has a high back wall but I hit 6 balls total OVER the high fence! Oops! first two times I laughed, after that I'd say "FUCK!" b/c I didn't wanna lose all my balls! :D It was like an Easter Egg hunt after I was done searching for the bright yellow balls in the tallish bright green grass, lol!

I'm loving my new active life! But the thing about it is...I get monster hunger DAILY when I'm active DAILY! And I feel like I've been eating too much but really I don't know for sure b/c I've been too lazy and busy to keep up with it. But in the last 10 days being super active, I've lost 0 pounds. I'm thinking about doing my monthly measurements tomorrow. I've AROUND this weight for like 3 months now :S

xoxo,
Libby

    Im so active these days, i work out 6+ times a week and i go out of my way to do active exciting things but the weightloss is still slow and its hard because im super hungry too...

    Its bloody annoying... and i crave sugars more for more energy.... grrr! its ok... im sure itll pay off soon i thin kthere is a process with being active and working out where you need to do it for awhile before it starts actually showig.

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
