Week 2 - Day 1 Picture & Weigh In

Hi Everyone!

Here is this week's pic and my weigh in info.

Weight:  136.2 (lost 4 pounds)

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.

It's ME again!!

Hi Everyone!

Well, I have gained back 10 of the pounds that I lost so today I am starting FRESH!  I am going to do it 100% like I did a year ago and really work on eating within my points & working out an hour a day, 6 days a week.

I promise to update better on this blog!  I am off to the gym right now for an hour.  Wish me luck!  We are also running a 10K on July 5th!

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.

Where have I been?

Hi everyone!!

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.
