Post and Run

Man life is busy with Ty out of school. I haven't posted as much but I have been on track. i am now down to 283.5 lbs.

I will post something more interesting soon and some photos. My 10k clinics are going well> I am seeing a change in my body already.

Last Night's Running Room.

So I went. In the rain. I did awsome. We did dome interval training. you know, go as fast as you can for so long then go at a recovery pace. We were supposed to do 8 reps but our leader asked us at the end if we were good for another. I did it. Then he asked if we were good for another and I did that too.

I can see how this becomes addictive. I love it.

My eating is still on track. I have not been posting my menus because I haven't been planning them out. I have been eating only when I am hungry and making healthy choices. I haven't been tracking though so we will see how that goes. I just found that I was becoming way too focused on food.

If it doesn't work out for me I will go back to tracking.

I Am On Fire!

I had another excellent day. I'm feeling healthier already!

I'm expecting to see results this week, but I do realize that when you increase your exercise quickly there is some water retention.

If I don't see it this week, next week for sure!

I'm Back!

Wow, it sure didn't take me long to fall off the posting wagon. I am still doing well though. My points, water and activity are finally coming together.

I did 5k in 1 hr on Sunday and am really excited to see what I do it in next Sunday. I can definitely see how people become addicted to running. I can't wait until I can do the couch to 5k through the Running Room. Right now I am doing the 10k walking program. It's a start!

Absence Makes The Thighs Grow Bigger

Well I didn't post yesterday. I also crashed and burned Weight Watchers-wise yesterday. If I am really careful all week and exercise like a maniac...I may break even. So I'm thinking that if I am at 50 lbs by the time I go back to work, I may get botox for my forehead wrinkle. We'll see.

Today's Menu:

Breakfast: coffee with milk and Twin, yogurt with all bran buds and banana and blueberries.
Snack: orange and a cheese string
Lunch: PC Blue Menu Thai Chicken and home made fruit salad
Snack: I'm not sure yet
Diner: Pickerel, wild rice and broccoli.

Activity: 45 minute high paced walk with Evan in his stroller and I will walk to get Ty from school today.

Sunday Morning...

Steve left on Friday. How many years is that? It hasn't been that bad. I'm just feeling a little crappy and would like some time to myself. I will be heading out to a museum with my kids today so it won't be hard to stay on track for the day. Tonight, however, is a different matter. Sunday dinner at mom's. It is my downfall every week. I spend the rest of the week trying to work off Sunday.

Today's Menu:
Coffee with milk and twin.
3/4 cup All Bran Buds, 1 banana, 3/4 cup blueberries and 1 cup milk.
Orange and yogurt
Lunch: I will be out so probably a McDonald's Medeteranian Salad..(6 Pts)
Dinner: I will really try to be very reasonable.

On Tuesday I will also start putting in my activity for each day. It just is not happening while Steve is away.

I Can Do This!

Today I registered at The Running Room to train for a 10km walk. There's a race at the end that I can enter. This is my first step towards being one of the runners in a race.

Who knows? Maybe next summer I will be able to run a 5km.

Today's Menu...is pretty much not happening.

I didn't eat breakfast. Instead I had an X-Large coffee. For lunch I was at my mom's and had about 3/4 cup of beans in tomato sauce, 3/4 cup of grapes, a weiner and about 1/4 cup rice pudding. I also had 1 1/2 cups milk.

I promised Ty bacon and eggs for supper so I think I'll just make myself a nice healthy omlette and eat lots of veggies with it.

Staying on plan is a lot harder than I thought it would be with Steve gone. I may not meet all the Weightwatchers healthy guidelines over the next 3 days, but I will stay within my points.
