Finally Friday

So no working out last night and had some popcorn.....but that ended my misery LOL!

I got up at 5:15...my running partner cancelled on me as I was driving to the end of my street. I was excited....I could go back to bed WOOHOO. Oh wait that was the old me! The new me drove my car around my development and found a mile long run. Came home parked and headed out. I RAN 1 1/4 mile all by myself...it was nice. My thoughts and a nice run. I needed it. I felt good. I will do it again tomorrow even though its sat and I DONT work out on the weekend. IT FELT GOOD. AHHHH

I was up 1.2lbs today. Whatever I will work it off.

If I wake up and run, have a good breakfast it totally sets the tone for my day. I feel energized and feel way more confident in making good eating choices. I decided to run in the Wharf to Wharf in July. My bf is going to run with me. Its 6 miles so a bit longer than I would have liked to start with, but I can do it.....and WILL do it! I am excited! Now I have to save up for some good running shoes!!

Im here...

Im here....barely LOL! I am so tired of this yo yo...somedays I am so pumped to be losing and getting fit and other days all I want to do is shovel in the food. I am dealing with the ugly monthly beast and since having my IUD out, she is UGLY! With my IUD I never had cramps, a period, hardly any pms, so this is all new to me again. Adjusting to cravings, mood swings and bloating. Its hard!!!

I have only worked out once this week, Tuesday. So tonight I HAVE to get on the elliptical at home. I am done with my 2 day whine and bitch session and ready to get back to running and eating my best ALL day.

Last night I had togos (bacon, mayo, cheese...all the bad crap) followed by chips and a REAL pepsi and then a chocolate cupcake at small group. HELLLLLOOO NONE of that is on my eating healthy plan and the sad part is I didnt even think twice about it. So needless to say tomorrows weigh in will probably not be the best with only a few days of eating right and hardly any calories burned.

but today is a new day...I am feeling mostly back to normal (aside from some cramps and a stomach ache - um overeat last night did ya!) so back to the GRIND.....

Already Tuesday

As you can tell I dont post on the weekends. Our computer is in our office which has no AC and is sort of seperate from the rest of the house and when my kids are in bed, I am either cleaning something or plopped on the couch watching tv.

So I am in search of a 5K in my area to run. I ran my mile this am and I think Friday I will be able to do 1 1/2. I figure by July/August I should be good to do a 5K. I dont know anyone who will run it with me so I might be solo, but whatever I want to do it and its a good goal to set for myself.

I ate enough for a small army this weekend and luckily was only up 1lb today, so I think things should be ok for Friday. I didnt drink enough water this weekend so I am peeing like MAD today.

Thanks for all the nice comments on my hair. I am loving it still and cant wait to loose another 15lbs and post some more pictures!

New hair...New weight...New pics

Down 2lb...slowly but surely I guess!!!

A few pics of me at 195 and my new hair cut!

I need to start doing something about those BIG ole arms!

Notice how my kids seem to sneak in the pics LOL!

Thirsty Thursday!

Man I am thristy today.....drinking tons of water and still feel thirsty.

So this morning I ran ONE WHOLE MILE STRAIGHT...and it feeel sooo gooood! Then we walked another mile after. Tomorrow I will run another one straight and then next week move it up gradually. Oddly my butt looks and feels bigger LOL Why is that??

Work is soo slow and I am finding it hard to not munch at work. I have been bringing carrots to snack on, but I SWARE they make me more hungry!! I am thinking maybe I need to have a bit more protein in my afternoon snack.

Hump day

Last night I made some yummmmy pizza. I got some store brand crust, red sauce, red onion, spinach and chicken and used a serving of feta. I wish I had made more so I could have had some for lunch today!! I was disappointed with American Idol last night....I wanted Danny to win, so having screachy and weird mouth boy in the final two was a bummer!

I got up this am and did my run/walk with Tiff. We run around the school near her house. Each street is 1/4 mile. When we started I was only able to run 1 of them at a time. Today I ran a total of 5/8 laps. Tomorrow I will shoot for running 1 mile straight and doing a few more running laps to get to 6/8.

I am back to feeling into this. My eating has been good and hoping come Friday I will have dropped a few more pounds.

I WANT pizza....

Have any good ideas for things you like on your pizza....for a lower fat lower cal...

I have chicken to use...
