Maintained

I am not ready for maintance yet but I guess I was this week! No loss no gain! Maintained! Little disappointed of course because I wanted a loss but considering the week I will take it! Hope for much better next week~

Sluggish

I am feeling very down and sluggish today, in fact I have been all week! Eating more than normal(using activity points) drinking more diet soda than I ever do and on my runs I have been slow and my legs just dont want to move. Its been a hard week! With all that I am not expecting any lose tomorrow morning! I would like to see just .8 if anything, that would put me out of the 150s and I would loose a daily point! Not that is a good thing LOL but it does put me closer to goal! I started my period this morning so I know now that is why its been a rough week but I HATE using that as an excuse! Just hope for the best in the morning!

Application

I went to a WW meeting tonight and the leader is a friend of mine and she said HEY I HAVE SOEMTHING FOR YOU! She then handed me a application to work for WW! I was like I thought you had to be at lifetime, she said the rule is you can apply when you are with in 10 pounds of goal! How cool! I am so excited about working for WW~ Today....did ok on eating, on points but had a chocolate chip cookie! Had the points for it but still feel like I shouldnt have eaten it. Got in a 40 minute run tonight and that was it. Tomorrow is the last day before the weigh in and I am not feeling all that confident, I have eaten alot of extra points this week and now I am feeling like I am going to gain! I am emtionally eating and cant seem to put a stop to it!

Less Pain

Still sore today but just sore not pain like the last two days! Got in a 40 minute run and 30 minute of yoga to stretch out really good! Hoping there is no soreness tomorrow! 2 days left to work off the pounds and work out the soreness! On track with points, but again ate a few activity points. Going to be really strict on points the next 2 days and stick to only daily points!

Still Feeling The Pain

Oh my goodness! My legs are still hurting! This can not be a good thing for Saturday! In the long run yeah its good I am building muscle but for short term! Sore muscles means water retention which in turn means weight gain! UGH! On track with points all day, did not use any activity points. Got in a 45 minute run, then also did the weight circuit again with lighter to no weights, it seemed to help work out some of the soreness, at least for now, the morning may tell a different story! Just gotta pray it stops hurting soon and the scale does not go up!

OH My Aching Body

I should have known now is not the time to start a new weight lifting routine especially since I havent even lifted in several weeks! Today I AM SOOOOO SORE! My thighs and innner thighs are in burning pain, my pecs, shoulders and sides are hurting too but not as bad as my legs.! Just hope I have time to workout out the soreness and get rid of the water retention before the next weigh in. Stayed on points all day and used a couple of activity points too. Got in a 30 minute run that was supposed to be 45 minutes. My legs were hurting too much to go any longer and I really had to slow up the speed as well. Got in a awesome 30 minutes of yoga though, even though the stretching HURT it felt good! Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Facing A New Week

Here it is Sunday again! At least this Sunday has been WAY better than last Sunday! I have been on track all day still have some points to get used! I worked out as well, even though I really didnt feel like getting out and going to the gym I still worked out here at home! Did a new weight training circuit that has me sore already! Great way to start the week! LOL! My gaol for this week, to walk 10,000 steps every day on top of the gym workout. For weight loss I have 4.6 pounds to go to goal and want to be there by spring break in 3 weeks, thats about a pound and a half each week! Its going to be hard but I am going to try my best!

Under 5

I lost 1.6 this week! Way better than I was hoping for or expected~! I earned a 5 pound star at the WW Meeting for getting 45 pounds actually 45.8 total! Now I am under 5 pounds to go to goal...just 4.6!

.8 Will I Get It?

Well after a really bad weekend I have worked really hard this week to make it right! Will it be worth at least .8 on the scale!? Hope so but not so sure! But then again lately I have not been confident at all! Today I was on points all day with no problems and got in a 40 minute run, not a hard one just an moderate run but good enough to finish out the week! Guess we will see in the morning if I can get at least that .8!

Love to Run!

Good day!! All the way around! No temptations and stayed on track all day! Got in an amazing 45 minute run that really kicked my butt! Love it! LOL! .8!! One more day to loose at least .8! Running my way to goal! LOL! I so love running I look forward to it every day!

Struggle But OK

Today was again an emotional struggle to not give in to junk food but I did OK~! Gave in once and had a diet dr pepper but avoided other temptations. Stayed on points barely but did! Got in a 4 minute run. I so need to get back into the swing totally with the running, lifting and yoga! Have only been running need to start the other stuff again too! Thats my goal for next week! Still trying to just stay of task enough to get that .8 this week! Right now I dont think I will make it!

Moving Forward

Another good day! It was a struggle at times with temptations but I did not give in~On track with points all day. Got in a awesome 50 minute run as well burning 756 calories! I am going to keep moving forward all week and pray for just .8 on Saturday to get me to total 45!

ReGrouping

OK I am back on track today! Actaully under points today but considering what I ate yesterday it will balance out! Got in a 30 minute run, at normal speed! Wohoo! that felt good! Cut it short because part of re grouping included going to a WW meeting~! A friend of mine from WW also struggled over the weekend and we were talking about it together this morning so we meet up this evening at a WW meeting to get ourselves back on track! It worked! I am refocused and ready to attack the week!

Crash and Burn

That is what I did today! Totally off track! UGH! Did not work out and ate everything in sight! You would think with only 6.2 pounds to go to goal I would be extra motivated but today that was not the case! I am so disgusted with myself! Only thing I can do it forget it and start new tomorrow and just hope it doesnt show as a gain on the scale come Saturday!

OMG!!!

I lost 2.4 this week!! I am sooooo shocked!! I only have 6.2 to goal!! Next weeks goal is at least .8 to get to 45 total! And a 5 pound star! I would like to see 1.2 that would get me to 5 pound star and only 5 pounds to goal but I will take one step at a time lets go .8

Good Run

Still not up to full speed but getting there! Good enough to get in a real good run today! Just hope its enough but not holding me breathe on that! Really feeling like a gain again this week! Ate on points today as well so I guess we will just have to see what the scale shows in the morning!

Just Not Feeling It

Although I had a good day I just dont feel it this week! I cant believe now of all times I got sick! Just have to push it aside and keep working at it! On points all day no problem. Instead of going to the gym I came home and went on a 3 mile walk/run outside! Something different! Its OK but I perfer my treadmill! Back to the treadmill tomorrow! Hope its enough for Saturday!

Day 2 Back

Today was a good day! Right on track with points no problems! Got to the gym too for a 40 minute run, still not up to speed and time from before I got sick but getting there! Just happy to be running again! Still not holding out any hope for a loss this week though!

On The Way Back

I was still sick on Sunday and Monday, even thought I stayed on points those two days I had no workouts in. The scale this morning showed another pound up! This is going to be another gain week I am afraid! WHY did I get sick now?? I was so darn close! Today I think I am on the way back, went a little over on points, comfort eating after the fact! UGH! Wasnt all that bad just over by 3 points. Did get a workout in though, 40 minutes on the treadmill. I was able to do a little jogging but for no more than 2 minutes at a time then had to walk for a few minutes. Its going to take some time to get back up to speed but I will get there!

Sick

Well today was weigh in day, and I am sure you noticed since I post on here everyday that I have not posted since Tuesday. Thats because I have been in bed sick since then! Bad! I hardly ever get sick but when I do its a knock out one! So here I am 4 days later with a .8 gain! No surprise considering the fluid on my chest right now, the antibotics and the steriods the doctor has me on, I exected a bigger gain than that. So not I am 8.6 pounds from goal...I need to update the ticker, just cant bring myself to do it just yet...

Frustrated

I gained .8 this week. I am getting so frustrated with this. I have been exercising and doing great on eating, but still gain. I'm thinking it might be all the stress. Right now I am juggling 3 part time jobs, 3 teenagers, a husband and have 2 kids that need surgery as well as trying to go to school. Do you ever feel like you just have no control over anything??? Things were going so well for us when I first quit my job to go back to school and now it seems like nothing goes right.

Sorry, I will quit complaing now!! Shelly, you are doing great, keep up the work and you will make your goal in no time.

Sore Back

Man my lower back is sore today from the hills workout! Totally feeling that one! Did run today and had some hills in it but I just reduced the speed to make it doable! Got in 35 minute of running, 30 minutes of weight training and 30 minutes of yoga which seemed to help the back some. Ate right on with points all day as well! 6 weeks....7.8 pounds! Thats about 1.3 a week! This week I would LOVE to see 2.4 just because that gets me to another 5 pound star at 45, not likely I know but I am going to work as hard as I can..

Up The Hill

Holy crap!! I ran today a 55 minute advanced hill run! I burned over 900 calories do it too! It was a killer workout and has left me completly drained of energy! Feels good! LOL! Still have 5 points left for the day too but its almost 7pm and I am not hungry so I guess I will be short today on points..thats ok I had too many points yesterday! LOL!
