Okay, so I’m going to combine weeks three and four because my life was turned upside down two weeks ago. My husband came in on a Thursday evening and announced that he had been assigned to a new store and that he had to report on October 31st. I was also scheduled to work out [...]
Okay, so we have completed week one of our refreshed challenge and officially I had a 0.4 pound weight loss. I am so unhappy with this, I was exercised everyday for at least an hour. I kept my daily points under 29 (this is my allowed amount), I kept my calories under my goals. I [...]
Sorry, with the holiday approaching I just had to. But today was weigh in day number one for our Holiday challenge and the 194.3 is NOT a good number. I did however get myself out of bed at 4:40am and start my run by 5:15am. This makes me happy. My run felt pretty easy too. [...]
Well, another Sunday is here. I know I should be smiling, but I’m not real excited about just a one pound drop in weight. I know that this a “healthy” amount and going down is the right direction, but I wanted it to be more. I just feel like I have so far to go [...]
Okay, this week the scale shows that I post a 1.9 pound loss. I think I’ve caught the Obsessive compulsive disorder from Christina. I have noticed that I have become increasing obsessive about my weight and the scale going up and down. So with a loss I am happy, but I am just wanting it [...]
It’s Sunday and my scale is my friend today. I lost 3.6 pounds this week. I finally made my original BSB challenge with this weight loss, even a little lower than that now. I did all my weekly plan for the 10K plan plus one extra walk day. Yesterday was my long run and I [...]
Sunday again….so this week I have a 4 pound weight lose. This brings me about a pound away from my original BSB challenge goal. I’m happy with this difference this week. I have been a little more tired this week, but not sure if it’s the eating, the exercise, just not enough sleep, or a [...]
So, just like I thought I gained 0.1 pound this week. I’m okay with that though. I know next week I will be under and I will stay under my magic mark. I did well with exercise, followed the plan for my 10K to finish program…actually I’m doing a little more miles than it recommends, [...]
Failing…..That is a harsh word! This Sunday I had set out to reach my next goal. I planned on running my first 10K race – The Chunky Monkey. I failed, I only completed 5 miles. At the 5 mile mark a little in front of the last water station, I became nauseated. When I went [...]
This week was my first full week with my new toy (Fitbit) and I really like or dislike the data I get. I can see on a graph how many hours of my day I have just sat on my bum!!!! So my goal for next week is to get my sitting still time to [...]
