Well, I'm going to blame it on RBR, GCQMom, and Alexia for adding fuel to the fire! I cannot wait to start running again. It's been since August. I won't be able to start training again until it's warm enough to bundle baby up. The snow and ice outside makes it impossible.
There aren't many "runs" available to me because of the very rural area I'm in. Even then, things are rarely posted online because we are so rural. The ones that I'm aware of are a Triathalon which I am NOT interested in at all. The Grande Ronde Rehab Run which is a 5k or 10k. (I registered for this last year but came down with strep throat the day before the run.). There is a half marathon and full marathon but I can't remember the name of it. THEN there is a run here in my own town that starts clear up Catherine Creek and ends just 3 blocks from my house. You have a choice of a 1 mile (no way!) , a 5K, or a half marathon. Now, I would LOVE to do the half marathon. I don't know if I can but I can certainly train for it, right?
They both will create training programs for you depending on your race, time you have to train, and your level of running (beginner, intermediate, and son on).
Just thought I'd post. So far there's no new info out about the local race but I can plan that it will be in august.
This weekend has sucked butt. I just want to eat. Nothing helps. Hopefully tomorrow I can make up for any damages.

This meatball sandwich was so good and the meat didn't taste like chicken. If you actually took the time to read this and try it out that way! It came out of my Biggest Loser cookbook.
Yup...Shiznit. As in "I need to get my shiznit together!!!!". LOL.
This is my second time posting this so I hope I don't lose it this time!!!! I've used all my flexies this week and I HATE doing this. I still really want a loss this week and when I use my flexies it's unlikely. This means I'm going to get BOB back out. I didn't take him out yesterday because I was so tired yesterday. So I will have to put him in today. LOL. Now OneDitto I know what you're thinking...BUT I'm referring to my other love, Bob Harper. LOL. Miss Joy this is for you. I still can't beleive you are being this deprived in Ireland!
EDIT: I did get my cardio in but I felt weak and like crap the whole time. I almost stopped the dvd during it several times but I didn't. I even took a little snooze earlier tosee if it would help. It did help but not with my fatigue. I thought I would even feel better after working out but I don't. I'm only glad that I got it done.
Today was just one of those days where you feel you can't catch up! I hate that. I locked myself out of my house today. Which meant I couldn't drive my car or unlock the door at my work . It was crazy---- and a long day.
Eating was okay. I needed to workout today but I was just so tired and got home late that I didn't.
Nothing much else to report. Boring, Boring. I'm off to check on you all!
So since I have not taken any measurements since November--- I took them today. Of course I'm not as small as I was last July and when I was running. I had no difference in my thighs, 1.5 inches less in my chest, 1.5 inches in my hips, and 2.5 inches in my waist!!!!! (Which is amazing since I have no real waist). I want my measurements to be what they were when I was 142lbs this last summer but I will get there right? This spring--- it's back to running for me.
For right now--- I'm enjoying my tryst with Bob everyday.
The recipe I made was AMAZING!!! I hate to cook but this was good. It's actually three recipes so I will have to make a separate post for it. It's an open faced meatball sandwich. The meatballs are another recipe and the marinara is another recipe all in the BL cookbook. My parents loved it and my dad is a total red meat guy. My husband loved it too and he is a red meat guy too. Plus, he usually hates anything I cook but I got rave reviews with this one! So watch for a post with the recipes because I'm too busy to do it now. I have to check on all my EP buddies!
Well, I'm a little disappointed. I know you all will say "be happy! A loss is a loss!". I know, I know. I lost 1lb. There is a reason for this. I worked out pretty hard and I'm so sore that I know I have major lactic acid build up. I can barely walk or bend over!!!! lol.
I did the Cardio Max in the morning yesterday and then when I got home from work I did the power sculpt and finished just in time for TBL to start! I becoming addicted to that show!
I'm actually going to cook something from scratch. I'm going to make the open faced meatball sandwich from my new Biggest Loser cookbook. If I like it then I will pass the recipe on.
I will check on you all this afternoon after I get back from the store. Love you guys!
I cheated and got on the scale this morning for a "preview"--- I should have a loss tomorrow at WI.
I got my BL Cardio Max workout in before work. I'm off to work now. I plan on doing the BL Power Sculpt tonight after work and before BL! I have a lot more to post but will do that later tonight!
You all know I've been anxiously awaiting my package. The snow was so bad that the mail was really late. So no chance to use my new dvd before work.
BUT I after work I used my new Biggest Loser Cardio Max dvd. Oh my it was a great workout and I only did a Level 1. This time my BF Bob Harper did the warm up, level 1, & the cool down. In the Power Sculpt Jillian does warmup, level 1, and Cool down. You don't see Bob until level 3.
Bob said during the work out say "I love Bob, I love Bob". He has no idea. lol.
I sure hope the scale is down. I have used AP's and some flexies this week and I seem to kind of sticking to last weeks number. We shall see Wednesday!
Well last night I wanted to do my BL workout dvd but couldn't find my dvd remote ANYWHERE. I'm sure either the puppy or the baby has drug it off somewhere. I know what you all are thinking--- "why didn't you get your butt up and press play on the dvd player". WELL, you have to have the remote to select which workout you want and several other things. My actual player does not have those buttons--- just the basics. I could have started it but all I could have played is the warm up.
So, I improvised. I worked out for 30 mins using the same exercises from the dvd but at a little faster pace and I incorporated more ab work. I was proud of myself.
Today I bought a universal remote in case I can't find the dvd remote. I've been so busy today with it being my day off that I haven't got a workout in. UUUgghhh. Now, I just want to take a darn nap! I suppose I'll get my crap together here soon and workout. I still have Monday and Tuesday to work hard before my WI.
I really, really, hope my other BL dvd is waiting for me at the post office along with the BL cookbook. I won't get the Bob Harper book until it's released in April. Just in time for my bday!
So I was thinking back. I'm most definately smaller than I was a year ago. I also am just two pounds more than I weighed in on my 25th birthday --- which was my 10% WW goal. Do you guys remember back? I worked so hard that week because I wanted to make my 10% on my birthday and I did? SOOOO by April 4th this year I should weigh less than last year if I keep working hard. That makes me feel a little better about gaining almost all my weight back between the months of August and December.
ANYWAYS, I must go check on you all. I didn't get to last night.
EDIT: Even though I got my new dvd remote I decided to go ahead and improvise my own workout again because my glutes and abs are real sore from yesterday's --- which means that I did good! So another 30 mins for me! I have one teensy problem tonight I am really, really hungry. I've used my points for the day and don't want to use anymore flex points this week. I've used about half of them already. I hate that. But that was because of my "relaps" last wednesday night with alcohol. Oh, what to do. I don't have anything 0pts around. Damn. I'm chuggin the water.
I need to get my exercise in check guys! I didn't home last night from work until late and then I was starving and I can't workout right after eating--- it makes me sick. I won't be getting home until late again tonight but hopefully I can squeeze in dinner at work so that when I get home late I can workout after getting baby to bed.
Still no package in the mail.
The wind is blowing snow outside so hard and it's soooo cold. I hate having to go outside to get to the car or to warm up the car.
Eating has been okay. I have used some of my flex points this week. Mostly because of my "relapse" on wednesday. But with exercise and still staying within the limits I should still have a loss for the week.
I will try and do double workouts tomorrow since it's sunday and my husband won't be home tomorrow until late.
I'll check up on you guys tonight! I hope you're having a fabulous weekend! I have to go to work so I'm going to go get myself a skinny sugar free latte to wake my tired butt up!
