Actually Ran A Little!

I went for a night walk around the town and decided to see if I could actually run a bit. I figured no one would be gawking out the window at me if they coundnt see me huh? Well, I did run. Not a whole long way but it felt good that I could do it. I think I have a long way to go to make a mile in one shot but I guess you have to start somewhere.
Still walking two times a week and riding the elliptical and stationary bike the other days. Havent done the wii lately. I should get on it tonight. I already did half hour workout this morning. But I am trying a new thing. The only way I get to watch tv is if I am working out in front of it. Then after the workout I can continue the program. Will see how it goes. I do know it goes so much faster on the elliptcal if you are into a good show. Other wise it is sooooo boring. But isnt all exercise boring?
Have a good day.

Not much going on

Worked alot this weekend. Didnt have any time for exercise. I walked for 8 hrs during my shift on Saturday. I wonder if that counts for any exercise? Tried to stay on my meal plan. Is very hard when you are getting out of work at 7pm and on Sunday didnt pack enough food for my 8 hour shift because I didnt know I was going to be there all day. Did make if home and had a small garden salad around 8 o'clock. Was a tad late to eat but figured it was much better than going without. I will be waking Monday night at the school so I will be looking forward to that. I take my nieces to cheerleading practice and I hang around an walk. Works out really well. Still can't wait to get outside and walk. Come on Spring!

Not too Much Damage

Whew. My popcorn frenzy didnt do to much damage. I actually lost a pound for the week. I drank a ton of water and followed my meal plan to a tee. I have to stay on track if I wish to hit my goal of 100 lbs lost in one year. April 1 st 2010. Seriously I know I can do this but weight loss is so one step forward and two steps back sometimes. You have to just keep plugging along and if you stop you are in big trouble for sure.
I did get to walk for an entire hour Tuesday night. I went up to the school and walked the halls. Much more boring than outside but much more warmer right now! Think Spring!!

Movie theater popcorn

FERGIE

Why oh why can't I just go to the movies and have no popcorn? I have avoided going to the movies for that exact reason. So I went and seen the Blind Side and of course had to get popcorn. But no, couldnt just settle for a small bucket. Had to order the large. I think I ate the whole thing too. My son did a bad job of taking his share. I really cant figure out why I always resort to my old habits on things.

So I chalked the popcorn up as my only dinner and had water and tons of it for the rest of the evening. I did the basic step on the Wii with the 3 inch raisers I bought for it. And today I ate basically well and had more water and more water and actually rode the stationary bike for 40 minutes. All in all I guess not a bad weekend. I have learned if I do make a bad desision it shouldn't derail me for the rest of the week. Get back on and keep keeping on!!

SnowDay!

Oh joy, no school today b/c of snow. I have Friday off and was looking forward to having the house to myself. Oh well. Maybe I can talk my kid into shoveling the driveway. Right!! Or maybe I should just go out and do it myself. Hey, a free work out huh?

On a Roll

Lost another pound today! I was glad because yesterday I did 4 sets of different workouts thoughout the day. I stayed on my meal plan and everything went well. I was so happy the new season of the biggest loser started. That show is such a motivater. I dont know what it is about it. I like riding my stationary bike while its on. Bob and Jillian rock!!

New form of Exercise!

Hey wow! I discovered our WiiFit we got for Christmas. Wow. It is so cool. I really like the running in place game. You actually feel like you are running a real race. I say any movement is better than no movement at all. I actually lost my 5 christmas pounds. Mostly water weight any way from all the salty crackers I ate. For some reason I will never get over my carving for salt. Love it.
So starting off the new year on the right foot. And a good attitude. (for today anyway) lol. I am 3 lbs away from 70 pounds lossed. I can hardly fathom that, its nuts really. I look back and want to say it was so much easier than I thought it would be but in the same breath it was such hard work. It really is a stat of mind. You have to be ready to do this. In my mind I was ready and I am ready to know this is what the rest of my life will be about. Hitting the Wii now.......see ya. Out.
