I hereby give myself permission...

to buy the large container of pre-cut lettuce from Costco! It's hard enough at times for me to eat right and just being able to take my salad straight out of the fridge makes it that much more likely that I'll do it. Screw the extra cost! I'm worth it!!!! ;)

A Pretty Good Day!

I got up, got my tuckus out to the garage and walked! Yay!!! I'm pretty sure I'm not going to lose six pounds in the next four days so my goal won't be reached on time but I'm still going to reach it!

Just Checking In...

to say that while I haven't been hitting the treadmill very hard (or at all some times) I've been pretty good with eating and I'm at 160 right now. :) Drinking lots of water has helped!

We've got house guests for Spring Break and I went on a walk/jog with my SIL and now I have some serious shin-splints. Yikes! I'm doing my best to eat right while they are here but we are dining out A LOT and it's hard.

Send will power, STAT! LOL!

Uhg!

162.4

I need to try harder!

That was hard...

but man, I feel good! :)

I started Week 2 of the C25K workout over again and the last 30 seconds of each running segment really required me to suck it up. LOL! But, I did! Go, me!

I also did my stretching and my floor exercises.

Hello, March! :D

March is the New January!

Well, first things first. I weighed in on Saturday and I'm at 161.4, so I've gained two pounds. I'm actually pretty okay with this as I haven't worked out in ages and I went to a crop over the long President's Day weekend. I left Thursday afternoon and didn't get back until Monday morning.

There was snacking involved! LOL! I was actually pretty good, I ate salads for lunch every day up there and tried to keep the snacking to a decent level. Oh, and I stopped at Burgerville on the way up. Cheeseburger basket, baby! :)

Anyway, my shin splints are completely gone and I'm going to hop back on the treadmill in the morning. I'm planning on running my C25K workouts on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday and walking for 30 minutes on Monday/Wednesday/Friday. I'll still take Sunday's off.

I'm also going to have salads for dinner as well as lunch but only about every other day. I'm hoping this will be enough to help me lose seven pounds before April 4th, Audrey's second b-day!

Wish me luck!

Well, poop.

:) Sorry I didn't post this weekend.

I weighed in on time though! 159.2 Better than I expected. I was a bit afraid that I'd have popped back up into the 160's!

I haven't set foot on the treadmill. :( My right shin is super ticked off at me and my left one is a tiny bit peeved. I'm going to give them both a nice long break. I've got a scrappy retreat coming up this weekend, and I'm not going back on that treadmill until I get back.

So, nothing other than floor exercises and Pilates until a week from Tuesday. I'm hoping I actually get off my tuckus enough to do that much. I leave on this trip on Thursday, hopefully in the afternoon. And, I'm so not packed! LOL!

I hope you're doing better than I! And, I'll see you when I get back if not before!
