April Goals
No Soda
I gave this up for Lent, but have been slack with it. It’s funny because before I told myself I couldn’t have it, I barely drank it. Once it was on the NoNo list, I couldn’t resist.
I’ve stocked up on soda water & iced tea, so I’m hoping these things will help me get through it this go around.
Exercise 4 times a week
Even if it’s just a walk...

Challenge Failure
A friend of mine & I had a challenge going with one another to see if we could lose 17lbs by March 31. We started in mid-January… so that gave us about 12 weeks.
She did great and lost 13lbs (so proud of her!) and I lost about 8. (I’m offically weighing in at WW tomorrow morning). Obviously, I didn’t do as well as I set out to do, but with a vacation...

Questions for the Weight Watcher(s) out there
OK.
So during the week, I usually have oatmeal in the AM and a salad at lunch. Some days I’ll have some fruit as a snack. Ideally, I would pack snacks, but I’m always pressed for time in the mornings and never plan ahead.
So here’s where I need help, I have all these points for the rest of the night like 6pm onward:
a) is that “normal/typical” for anyone else?

C25K W2D2
2.2 miles in 31mins … OUTSIDE in 40something degree weather.
First run I’ve done outside on the program. It felt great and my mileage really wasn’t much different compared to when I’ve done it on the treadmill.
Happy!! :)

C25K: w1d1
Holy hell!
The program I’m doing had me do a 5min warm up walk, 60 jogging/running, 90 seconds walking (8times) and ended with a 5min cool down.
I thought the hardest part was stopping my running to walk and then walking. I was making all sorts of sounds. My mom came down to ask if I was ok! And I’m not one for making sounds … But maybe since I was home & not the gym I...

An "I'm Going Cray Cray" Rant
Thanks for your comments on what to order tonight… i think i might go with the house salad and the chicken - but just tell them no butter etc. A lady at WW told me to tell them I’m highly allergic - maybe I’ll give it a whirl.
Anyway, I’m still feel panicky (pretty sure thats not a real word!) about tonight. Like woah anxiety. Which is weird bc sometimes when I do have...

Regretting the work dinner I said I'd go to...
Who wants to spend Saturday night with coworkers and their spouses? Not me.
I’d rather go see a movie alone (ok maybe not on a Saturday night, but you get my drift)
Anyway, dinner is at Emeril’s Chop House —> menu And I really have no idea what to get. To be honest, not many of the items look that appetizing. And I’m sure they are all far from...

Lowest I've Been
I just realized this is the lowest I’ve been in a long time. It’s the lowest since I stared this journey over a year ago. I feel pretty awesome about 2011.
I updated my goals, progress , and contact info. Take a look! (I’m on twitter now!)
Next Steps:
Since I reached my 5% goal, I want to hit a 30lb loss in total, another 15.4 to go, by March 31st! That would bring me...

I Used To Be Fat
I watched what I guess is the first episode of MTV’s I Used To Be Fat. The first episode is about Gabrielle, an 18 year old who lost about 90 lbs in 111 days.
That’s pretty fucking awesome if you ask me. Yeah, she had a trainer most days and had lots of time to work out but is still a great inspiring story!!
I wish I had all day to work out - stupid job - and a trainer, a...

Exercise - 1/4/11
Ran/walked 3.2 miles in 49 minutes.
I was happy I was able to get 3 miles in today. It worked out since I was home. I did a new route today which included a monster hill. It was hard - but I’m so happy I did it!!
One thing I did notice I need to work on is my pace. I go way too fast at first, wear myself out, decide to walk a bit, the walk turns slower as I try to catch my breath, then...

I should go for a run while it’s still light & somewhat-warm out. But a nap is also calling my name!
Guess ill head out for a run- I can always nap and clean afterward.
And I hope everyone had a fantastic new year! I was busy driving all around and visiting with lots of family & friends. So I hope all of you had a great few days!
Happy 2011!! :)

Did a little under 2 miles
Outside and in 28 minutes.
There is still a lot of SNOW on the ground! GO ME for even going out to run!!
Although, we are having the big family party here today. So. Much. Food.
Healthy choices is what I keep telling myself.

Grrrrrrr

I guess my walks & snow shoveling didn’t cancel out all the damn cookies and meats I ate.
Damn it.
Seriously. Why is this taking FOREVER?!?!

Going to WW tonight
Tomorrow I have a big family party here and might be out of town on Thursday.
I figured since I did pretty well at the gym today but now that I’m thinking about it, I had some of those leftover pancakes from yesterday. They we’re kind of heavy. And soup and a sammich for lunch.
Hopefully, I hit my 5% mark - which just means a loss of .6. But ill be lucky if I didn’t gain...
