Moving along

Last week I got all my work-outs in, but Tuesday.  That felt great.  It's nice to be on the roll that just continues you moving forward.  Yesterday I ran 3min walk 2min, 6times.  Plus warm-up and cool down.  I was excited that I went 3 miles.  I really dislike running, and I dislike it even more when about 1/2 way through I feel myself relaxing and getting into rhythm.   BAH!  The outcome, a good run.

This week, in addition, to my workouts; I will be concentrating on getting back to "cooler meals."  Meaning, I will have every last thing I eat planned out.  If I am going to be out most of the day, my food will be going with me.  Meal planning and preparing, I am quite good at - just haven't been so diligent lately.  So that is my goal for the rest of this week and next - to get on it!!!

Fail for Tuesday

I guess you win some you lose some.  I didn't set myself up well for success today.  I had a wonderful day; just not so wonderful in the w/o arena.  Thank goodness tomorrow is a new day.

So I've been a little frustrated with the lack of weight loss.  My own fault.  I'm eating well, just not well enough I guess.  So here is my commitment to myself and cyberspace.  I've pulled out my Tosca books...I'm 100% in.  I know this will give me the greatest success.

Here's to a better physical and nutritional day tomorrow!!!

Have I Ever Mentioned...

I really don't like running.  Oh once I'm further down the road I'll start enjoying it more.  Tonight I was on the treadmill and actually got into a little groove - then I actually had to think about it and suddenly my lungs were filled with lead.  BAH!  The good news, I finished the workout.

It's been a busy past week, and it will take a few more posts before I get into the routine of it again.  Anyway, last week I did ALL my workouts when i was supposed to do them.  High Five.

Bare with me as I get this blog rolling again....

So glad today was a rest day.  My legs are whooped, in fact, I'm a little unsure how I'll make it through a run and Insanity tomorrow.  But alas, I'll pull it though. 

I kept busy today being a mom and working my part-time job, so at least I wasnt lazy and kept my muscles somewhat warm.

Food:
Bfast: 2 eggs, 1 mug coffee
Mm:  cheesestick, almonds
Lunch:  ww tortilla w/chick and avocado, pineapple
Mm:  green smoothie
Dinner: pinto beans, smoked sausage
Snack:  coffee, pineapple

Two for Tuesday

Today's workouts DONE!  One Insanity dvd, One 40 minute bike at the gym.  I thought I would pick an "easier" Insanity disc.  HA HA HA   The cardio max recovery is just as hard as the other ones.  I couldn't even do the whole thing - but it was still a great workout.  All in all I am happy.

Food:
1 pancake
2 C coffee
1 homemade protein bar
1 chicken wrap
3 french fries
can't remember my afternoon mid-meal
roasted corn
chicken avocado wrap
2 small handfuls of almonds throughout day
smoothie
6 reese's pieces

Hard Run

Well dear Trainer, I did the run.  Would you be satisfied if my run interval was a minute less than you said, BUT I did all 5?  Good.  It takes me a long long time before I really start to enjoy - no, like - no, tolerate running.  And I tolerate because I can feel my fat bouncing away.

Tonight, the eldest boy and I cooked dinner together.  We made sweet & sour shrimp, fresh pineapple and all.  Oh it was so yummy.  And quite the easiest meal. 

A great way to start the week.

Keep checking back.  This is the best way for me to hold myself accountable.

And so my journey begins again...15 weeks ago!

A small recap, but no "catching up." 
I started this blog way back when, look in the archives if you need a date!  It was a journal for my journey to losing 50lbs.  Well I almost achieved in, then I got the exciting news I was pregnant, then tragedy struck and we lost Selah at 18weeks.  Between now and then, it has been a journey to mentally regain my self worth and determination.  Yep, it's taken awhile.  But God has moved my life in insurmountable ways.

15weeks ago in walks, Trainer.  It took way longer than I wanted to get back in the swing of daily workouts and to actually lose weight and see change.  Around week 13 this started happening.  I'm excited!

So my journey begins again...want to tag along and see what happens?
