No Ride

Well no bike ride today! Way to darn WINDY! Couldn't even stand up straight outside! LOL Got in 30minutes of running and 30minutes of yoga! Still have 2 pts left for the day but its way to late now to eat anything. My back and legs are sore so I am taking some ibuprofen and going to bed!

A Long Ride

I just finished a bike ride that was 10.42 miles! If it wasn't dark out I would go do it again! LOL! OK maybe not. Also today got in 30minutes of weight training and 20 minutes of pilates. Today at work they had a tray of cheese and crackers setting out in the lounge. First time in there I avoided them, 2nd time I wasn't so lucky! I had a few, didn't "pig out" by any means but did enjoy some. In the end I think it will all be fine because breakfast was 4pts, lunch was 5pts and dinner was 3pts. So I think there were plenty of points to cover the cheese and crackers! OH my 3pt dinner! Mexican pizza...flat bread 1pt, 1/2cup fatfree refried beans 1 pt, 1/4cup fatfree cheddar cheese1pt, salsa 0pt and lettuce 0pt. YUM!

Back2Back Running

I did it! I ran yesterday and today! Back to back days and made it all 30 minutes both day! However todays run was a little slower than yesterdays, yesterday my sprints were 7.5 and 8 today they were 6.5 and 7. BUT I did it and it was still very intense and for sure got my heart rate up! Also got in a walk, 30 minutes of yoga, and a 40 minute bike ride! Ate all my daily points today as well , last week I had 3 days where I was 4 or 5 points under my daily and I think that hurt me! I am still irritated and frustrated about the slow process and lack of big results but I am not giving up! I had that angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other shoulder all afternoon debating about doing the running today! Even in the parking lot of the gym and even when I first stepped on the treadmill I was debating with myself trying to talk myself out of it! But once I got started it was on! I wanted to complete it and finish the entire 30 minutes! So I did!

Irritated

Well I did my measurements this morning, not good! Arms were no change, waist lost 2 inches, hip and thighs both went up!! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!!!! Bruce gave me this line about replacement of fat with muscle....thats crap!! Muscle is leaner and take less room(density) than fat!! I have been so down about it all day! Whats the freaking point of working so hard and not getting results!!!!
Today was a waste on points, over ate and on bad choices! Only exercise I got in was 30 minutes of running!

Another Missed Goal

Well thats two months in a row now that I set a goal to reach by the last weigh in of the month and I failed to reach it! I maintained this week! No loss no gain! Considering how I have been feeling all week I am happy I didn't gain! But I am very disappointed that I did not make my goal of getting into the 170's by today! I know 180.8 is close but its not good enough! Tomorrow morning I am doing measurements, its been 2 months on that so I am hoping I see a big enough difference in those numbers that I can feel better about not meeting my goal. I am so damn frustrated and disappointed right now!!!

Last Chance WorkoutS!!

Well I made good use of my extra day off today! I started the morning with a 25 minute run! Normally its 30 minutes but since I ran yesterday that 25 minutes today was hard and the last sprint my ankle was hurting so I stopped early, ankle stopped hurting when I stopped running! Then I did 20 minutes of power sculpting with Jillian(Biggest Loser DVD). Tonight I went for a 45 minute bike ride, really wanted to go longer but Bruce went and he was ready to quit, Wimp!! LOL Then I finished the day with 20 minute of pilates! I am now officially ready for bed and if I dont loose weight tomorrow at the weigh in I will not be happy!

Back on the Workout Track

Well I gotta in my workouts today! Took a 30minute walk, did my 30minutes of running! and 30 minutes of yoga! I wanted to go for a bike ride but again the weather did not cooperate, this time it was the hurricane winds that were blowing! I still have 3 points left to eat but its way too late now so those points are not going to be eaten! Tomorrow is no school! Wohooo! 3 day weekend! So I am going to get up early and head to the gym for an extra running day this week! Still feeling bloated but not was bad as yesterday but the scale still shows one pound up so maybe the extra running will help sweat out that fluid!

Not What I Planned

Well I was on track with my points today as normal so thats good, but my workouts were not what I had planned! I planned a walk, weights, pilates and bike ride! Well I got in the walk and pilates! On the way to the gym Bruce called and he just had to have help mowing the yard, oddly enough I never need help when I am doing it! Anyway, so I went home and helped, then he decided he needed to trench an area in the yard that is higher ground to run off water(we have POOLS of water when it rains) Well of course right on cue with Texas spring weather as we were trenching the thunder and light show began! SO THERE GOES THE BIKE RIDE! I was NOT a happy camper today! I am feeling so "fat" this week! My knees and ankles are achy and my fingers are swollen, the scale showed a one pound gain this morning! I am retaining fluid like a darn balloon! GGGRRRRR!! Not now! I just need one pound down this week to make a end of the month goal! I am so frustrated right now I want to SCREAM!!!!!

Slower Sprints

Man I was NOT feeling my run today at all! I had to slow down my sprints to 7.0, only got one in at 7.5 and one 15 seconds at 8.0. Not sure what that was about! Whatever it is I hope it doesn't last! Also got in 30mins of yoga! Which I am really beginning to enjoy especially after running! Again a good points day! Was going to go for a bike ride but Bruce is on his way home from Kansas and should be here soon so I am going to go take a shower and......well...I leave the rest to your alls imagination!

Monday

Good day! Ate with in my points, but I did eat an english muffin at 9:30pm! I try not to eat after 7 or 7:30, but I was too hungry to ignore it and it was only one point, a point from my daily points I hadn't used anyway! I got in a 30m walk today, 30m weights at the gym, came home and did 30m of pilates(Which I will be feeling in the abs tomorrow!!) and tonight I got bored with TV so I went on a bike ride for an hour which ended up being 9.25 miles! Got in way more than my normal 64oz of water today too, was feeling really thirsty for some reason! I doubled my water intake probably will be floating away all night! LOL!

Feeling good

Saturday I actually felt good for the first time since early March. I am finally over whatever Shawn and I had. I still don't have hearing, but hopefully my eardrum will heal. I have been doing good on eating. I had a Kashi bar for breakfast and a chef salad for lunch. I did get quite a bit of exercise in over the weekend. Now, on the down side, I am only down 7 lbs. I have gained the rest back. I have all of the women in my family starting the "couch to 5k" running program this week, so I hope to have it off again.

Another Week

Started my week off on the right foot! Went to the gym for my 30 minutes of torture running on the treadmill, split my sprints between 7.0 and 7.5, did push out 3 15 seconds of 8mph! Crazy! Then came home and did 30minutes of yoga~ Changing my running days this week because there is no school on Friday so I may not make it to the gym, may spend the day actually doing something FUN with Bruce! Still have about 4 points left for the day so I am off to get something to eat. Was going to go for a bike ride but its way to windy today! Will go tomorrow!
