Week 39

201.6
Sigh.
We've been home for just over a week from a week long vacation. On vaca I tried to eat in moderation. While we were traveling (we drove) our stops were at fast food places. High calorie, high fat, crap food. While we stayed with family, I did my best to watch my portions and choose the healthier option. However, 3 nights we drank. Not a lot to get drunk but 2/3 glasses. There was dessert in the house, but did try to eat a small portion. On the road, sometimes I'd get bored and would just snack. And my water intake was ridiculously pathetic. Didn't want to drink much on the road so we wouldn't have make extra pee stops. I mostly drank water and tea, but I know it was no where near the amount of ounces that I need. One thing I actually did right was that I got in 6 runs. I'm pretty proud of that. 

Since we've been home, I struggled with getting back into wanting/craving healthy foods. And my motivation to workout was minimal. I wanted to run, but could not get my ass up in the morning. I'd see people running in my subdivision and be jealous that I couldnt be out there too.

Starting this past Monday, I am doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD. Full 30 days. 10 days on each level.

Week 35

Great week. I did my own version of a juice fast.
My normal fruit smoothie for breakfast. A juice for lunch & dinner. An afternoon snack was typically a protein bar.
Don't have much to say. I'm writing this 3 days after weigh in day. I've eaten horribly the past 4 days. Haven't worked out in 3 days. Monday is usually a rest day for me but I'm gonna do something. And the house has to be CLEAN for next weekend. So I'll be burning extra calories all week cleaning.

Week 34

So I haven't posted in 3 weeks. I don't feel confident in my journey right now. I haven't been losing weight. I have eaten complete shit food. Yesterday alone I ate 5 (FIVE!!!) frosted rice krispy treats. That is ridiculous and I know better.

Today I did pretty good. A smoothie with soy milk for breakfast. For lunch a juice with carrots, kiwi, spinach, apples and grapes. Snack was a protein bar and then I cheated and had a few Colby flavored Cheezits. Dinner was another juice with zuccini, apples, spinach, grapes & kiwi.
Before I came up to bed I weighed the same as I did this morning. So that's a good sign.

Week 31

198

I've had a rough week. Eating lots of crap food. Made an excuse to stop at T.arget over the weekend just to buy candy. So so bad. It needs to stop. I've been ridiculously lazy. Still doing my runs and workouts. After that I just feel like sitting on the couch all day. Not good. We're going to have a ton of people in our house next Sat for my daughter's Bday and I have zero motivation to start cleaning now. Even though we'd just just cleaned for last weekend. It's ridiculous.

Tomorrow morning I go pick up my first race package. I'm so excited! And nervous. Although, mostly just nervous about making sure I get up early enough and parking in downtown.
I've heard The Color Run is crowded so I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep my normal pace.

Week 30

Thursday I over slept and couldn't workout. Normally I still would have tried to do a 20 DVD or something but I had two kids to get ready and out the door for swim class by 8:30a. And it affects my weigh in by a couple pounds so that's why it matters. But with clothes on I was only 198.4. Had I worked out I probably would've been 196/197. I ended up working out Fri instead, but still couldn't weigh myself because family was visiting. I really don't feel comfortable weighing myself naked in the kitchen with other people in house.
Hopefully I'll see 195 or 196 this week.

Week 28 & 29

29: 198.0
28: 199.2

Man, I'm really slacking over here. I don't feel like I have much to say.
I did 4.33 miles yesterday (Sat, 8/4) and only walked the first 3 minutes.
I ordered an elastic waist size M skirt from Old Navy and it fits perfectly.
My first 5k is in 3 weeks.
I've lost 43# total.
I did a fast 1 mile run today in10:37. My normal pace is around 13:00.

Week 25, 26, 27

I've been MIA. Stating the obvious, I know!
Week 25: 202.5
Week 26: 204
Yep.
Pretty bad, right?
I did better this week. And reached a major milestone. I finally got into the 100s. It was probably high school the last time I was in the 100s.
This past weekend we bought a juicer, but I don't have it yet. It's our belated anniversary gift. Long term I want to include juices as meal replacement option. Maybe a 1 day juice cleanse once a month. Something I want to do soon though is a 7-10 day cleanse. Will I make it that long? I'm not sure. But I'm going to try. One day at a time. I need my body to crave fresh, good food. I did what I'm supposed to and went the Dr. I knew it wouldn't hurt to have some blood work done. Everything came back great except my thyroid is slightly out of range. It's not something she want to medicate, but its something to be mindful of.
We also bought a new scale since the one we had stopped working.
