Hey Everyone!
It's time to check in! How did you all do on your first week?? I didn't do as well as I would have liked to. Life got in the way, I got busy, I didn't eat the best every day. That's just life. Here are my deets:
Week 2 Weight:
147.2 (- 1.6 pounds)
Exercise:
I was horrible this week with exercise! My kids went back to school on Monday, so I did a lot of stuff that I do not do with 5 little kids underfoot. :)
I hope you all had a GREAT week!!! Check in with a comment!

Week 1 - Day 2
Hello Everyone!
How was day 2 for you guys?? I did just fine but had my dentist appointment today instead of yesterday. I needed to get two new crowns and although my husband is a dentist, I am the worst patient for a dentist! LOL!! My entire bottom half of my face was completely numb for about 4-5 hours!! That really helped with eating since I couldn't eat anything. I made myself a smoothie tonight and still have a little bit more that I can eat if I am still feeling hungry.
Hope day 2 is successful for you all!

My Pink Loser Challenge!
Hello Everyone!
Are you all ready to get fit and healthy in 2013? I know I am! I started my journey 4 years ago, lost 50 pounds, maintained the loss for almost 2 years and then it slowly crept back on. I realize that I cannot do this alone and I need support. I would love for you to join me. Here is what we will do for the challenge:
*Monday weigh in over on My Pink Loser's Facebook Page or on the weekly post here. (You do not need to put how much you weigh, just how many pounds you lost, if you'd like to share.)
*Set a realistic weekly, monthly, etc. goal. I say realistic because I have learned that if I set my expectations too high, I am just setting myself up to fail. One of my weekly goals will be to get a certain amount of workouts in, for example.
*Be true to yourself and do not deprive. Remember that if you deprive your body completely that is when a lot of us binge. Everything in moderation.
*I will be checking in on MyFitnessPal on my iphone. It's a great way to keep track of your food diary and exercise diary.
*Make yourself a fun award!
*We will have our big, first milestone check in the first week of April! Have a 3 month goal, then we will go on from there.
I will try to take a weekly picture of myself for this blog every week. That is something that helps ME. Start your own fitness blog and track your own personal journey.
I am looking forward to Wednesday! I'll see you all HERE and on http://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Pink-Loser/137106772993983?__req=3&filter=2
Hugs!

New Update!
Hi Everyone!
It's so funny that I haven't updated this blog in over a year. I didn't realize it had been that long. I was basically in my own world, got involved in tennis, and running my household for the past year. I am back and starting my journey again. This time I am totally serious. What makes this time different, you ask? I had some tests done at the dr's office this past week and the test results came back that I have high triglycerides and elevated cholesterol. I really don't want to start taking medication to bring it down so I am going to try eating healthier and exercising more than I already do. I am cutting sugar! YIKES!! Yes, you heard it here. I am no longer going to be the sugar-aholic that I have been known to be. I will have a treat once in a while but not as much as I've been having. This will be good for me. I am almost done with day 2 of almost no sugar and I'm feeling okay. I'm also trying to cut out white flour as much as possible. I made whole wheat spaghetti with ground turkey tonight for dinner and everyone ate all of it! This is not only going to help me but my family as well.

Day 1 - Week 2 Weekly Weigh In
Hey Guys!
I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I actually did really well with my eating. Yesterday I ate a normal dinner with my family and even had dessert but I stayed within my weekly allotted extra points that Weight Watchers gives.
Today I weighed in and I lost exactly 2 pounds. I was hoping for a 4 or 5 but I will take it.
Week 2 - 146.8 pounds.
Today I walked on the treadmill at an incline for about 45 minutes. I ran a mile in the middle somewhere, too.
Hope you all have a great week! I'm making a yummy pumpkin/banana bread recipe I got from skinnytaste.com. We have our weekly family night called Family Home Evening and I wanted to make sure that I could also eat the treat! I'll post a pic with the recipe later.

Day 5 - Week 1
Hello Everyone!!
I am just about to go to bed after finishing Day 5 of Week 1! I am so proud of myself. It has been a looooong time since I've been committed to watching what I eat and working out regularly. Tonight I passed up..... ice cream & caramel popcorn BUT I did go out to lunch with my husband and that was GREAT! I ordered water (before it was always a Sprite) and I ordered Terriyaki chicken with steamed broccoli. Super yummy and I felt good about not giving in to my temptation of always getting unhealthy food at restaurants.
This morning I played 2 hours of tennis but didn't break much of a sweat so I only gave myself about 2-3 points for that. After I went to the gym and walked for a half an hour and burned about 350 calories because I walked at an incline keeping an eye on my heart rate to make sure I stayed in the fat burning zone.

Yep, you are reading that right. I only walked for 1.21 miles but I burned 357 calories!! LOVE walking at an incline. Plus, my Plantar doesn't seem to act up as bad as when I run. Don't get me wrong, I will still run just not as much as before.
I'm going to be a little bit hungry but that is okay. I know that my body is adjusting to eating the calories that I should be eating. My husband and I were chatting after we went to lunch and I told him how usually I am STUFFED after we ate out but this time I felt satisfied. It's actually a really good feeling. :)
Hope you all have a GREAT weekend! Wish me luck! The weekends are the hardest for me, especially Sundays because I don't workout on that day so I don't earn extra points.

Day 4 - Week 1
Hey guys!
Yes, I am still doing it!!! I'm super hungry right now so I need to hurry so I can go and have a healthy dinner.
Today for exercise I played 2 hours of doubles tennis with my league. I didn't break that much of a sweat so I didn't give myself that many points. It was FREEZING but I warm up fast when I am out moving around.

Day 3 - Week 1
Hello Everyone!
It is day 3 and I am still sticking with the plan. I did not go to the Weight Watchers meeting today as I am going to try to do it on my own with your support. I know how to do the plan, it is just "doing" it that is the hard part.
This morning after I dropped off my kids I went to the gym and got on the treadmill. I ran at a 6.0 for one mile and then I did a walking interval. It was super hard but I realized that this is something I CAN do instead of running like a mad woman. My legs feel great now and I burned a ton of calories!
The only problem is that I cannot find my WW book and I need to figure out how many pointsplus I earned for a high intensity workout for an hour! Anyone??

Yep, that's right! I burned 700 calories mostly walking on the treadmill in about 1 hour and 5 minutes!! My incline was at 21-27% most of the time but my speed was only 2.0. Isn't that incredible!! So..... if you don't have access to the gym or a treadmill, go and find a very steep hill and walk it!!
You guys might think I am strange but I LOVE to sweat when I am working out. It shows me just how hard my body is working and how it is getting rid of unwanted junk! Here is a back view of my shirt. Just wanted to share. LOL!

Day 2 - Week 1
Good morning all!!!
I woke up totally starving today but was very happy that I stayed within my Weight Watchers points/calories yesterday. Yay me!! I was tempted throughout the night but I said "no, thank you" every time. Here is a very unflattering picture of me that we took last night. Honestly the dress looked so much better in my bathroom mirror!
Did I not tell you that I usually hide my weight well? This dress did not hide it!! LOL!! That's okay, though because I still a very happy person. I just want to be healthy!
No exercise yet even though I am in my workout clothes. I need to go run a few miles!

Starting Over - Week 1!!
Hey everyone!
Okay, I officially started doing Weight Watchers AGAIN and exercising this past Monday. I thought I would also make sure I journal everything over here for those of you who want to do it with me again. If you would like to read my entire journey from before when I lost close to 50 pounds (10 was when I had H1N1 so I don't really count it) just go to the beginning of this blog.
Weight: 147.6 (I've gained 10 pounds since my last post!)
Exercise:
Monday: Ran 1 mile at 5.0, walked 1/4 of a mile, Ran another mile at 5.0, walked another 1/4 mile, upper body workout with weights. 100 abdominal exercises.
Total: 2 miles ran, 1/2 mile walked
Tuesday: Ran 2 miles at 5.0 - 6.1, Walked 1 mile
Wednesday: 6 miles on the bike going 90 rpm's, elip. machine 10 minutes (1 mile)
Today: Ran 3 miles in 31 minutes at 5.5 - 6.2!! So excited to be running again! Walked 1 mile. Lifted weights for upper body.
So, those of you who have been following me know that I have severe Plantar Fasciitis, which is REALLY painful! I have gone to therapy, have custom insols, etc. I just have to stretch really good. I also just purchased these AWESOME socks that I sleep in at night called Strassburg Socks. Here's a pic of how silly they look. I don't know why but when I wear them I get the Pippy Longstocking song stuck in my head! LOL!

I highly recommend this sock to anyone who is having problems with tight calves, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, etc. I noticed the difference in one day!! I am going to continue to wear them every night.
GOAL: Run a 10K on the 4th of July in Utah. It will be my 3rd year in a row if I am up to it! Anyone in Utah want to do it with me??

Week 1 - Day 4
Hi Everyone!
I am just finishing day 4 and I am really proud of myself. Besides a little chocolate tonight (which I will use my bonus points for) I have stayed within my limit everyday. I have this TERRIBLE stomach thing going on while my body is adjusting to the fiber from all the fruit, whole grains, etc. but that will get better. I kind of remember this last time, too.
I know I said I wasn't going to weigh myself until next Wednesday but I stepped on the scale tonight just to see if I had lost anything and I have. I will not tell you the amount until next Wednesday. Remember that I have had stomach issues (LOL) which is some of the weight loss.
Here is what I've eaten today. Normally I don't eat two microwave meals in one day due to the sodium content but my husband made dinner that wasn't the best choice and I had one handy.
Breakfast:
Banana - 0 Points
WW Vanilla Oatmeal - 3 Points
Vitalicious Vitatop Chocolate Muffin - 3 Points
Lunch:
Pineapple: 0 Points
Pita from Healthy Choice: 8 Points
Fiber One Bar: 4 Points
Apple: 0 Points
Dinner:
Sugar Free Hot Apple Cider - 0 Points
Lean Cuisine - 5 Points
Ice Cream Skinny Cow - 4 Points
Beef Jerky - 1 Point
1 Stick of Pez - 1 Point
I know that I should have had more veggies today. I will do better tomorrow. I also had a ton of water today which I really needed since my body is losing a lot of fluids trying to adjust.
How are you all doing???

Starting Over. Week 1, Day 1
Hi Everyone!
Here I go again! I am completely starting almost over with Weight Watchers. I am 15 pounds above my Lifetime weight of 125 pounds. I got down a lot lower than that during my marathon training but realistically I am good for my height at 125.
I promised I would post some beginning pics again this time. Not very flattering but I've just got to do it. I will post pics every week after I weigh in. Next Wednesday will be the beginning of week 2 for me. I went today because I wanted to get started on the new WW program right away but I don't get weighed in again until next Wednesday.
Week 1:
Weight: 140.2 (YIKES!)
First goal: 130 (by CHA at the end of January)
Next goal: 125 (by Cricut Cruise at the end of February)
Thoughts:
I never thought that I would gain back some of the 50 pounds I lost but I did and if I'm not careful I am going to gain it all back. It started when I got Plantar Fasciitis and had to stop running. I know that I can do other exercises but it is totally mental with me. I lost 50 pounds the year I was training for my marathon and in my mind that is what I relate to my weight loss. I am going to try super hard to get it in my head that I CAN BE SUCCESSFUL with other exercising. I also am a very emotional eater and I have been eating at night when I am having a hard time getting my 5 kids to sleep. I need to find a solution to that eating, too.
Exercise: None today but getting up bright and early in the am to meet a friend at the gym.
Please comment and share what you are doing on your journey.

This is great faith and enduring....
I don't know if any of you have been following Stephanie's story but her and her husband were in an airplane accident. Her life changed so much afterwards and she became a great pillar of strength to so many, including myself. Here is a video that our church put together about her story. It is amazing.

I am so sorry I haven't posted lately. I am feeling like I have overcommitted myself to too many things. I am trying to get my life back on track so I can do the things that I truly love and one of them is sharing my fitness goals.
I am no longer doing the marathon on April 24th due to my being sick for 3 weeks and not exercising at all. I am still going with my husband but I will be his cheerleader instead. I am just not feeling it for me this time.
I was able to run 5 miles on Monday BUT I am still sore today and it is Wednesday!! That is so nuts to me because I used to run 6 miles at least 3-4 times in one week!! I want to build myself back up again. I am going to head on over to the gym in a little bit this morning. My goal for running is to do whatever I can.
I hope you all have a terrific day!!

Marathon Training Schedule
Since many of you have asked I wanted to share my running schedule. This is by Hal Higdon. I do not run or exercise on Sundays so I had to switch my week around a bit. I just make sure I get the running in. Because we are starting our training later this time we have to start at week 8. I have already ran the 3 miles, 6 miles, and will do the 3 miles tomorrow. Our long run will be 13 miles this Saturday or we will just do the best we can.
