Before After

on weeek 7

Ok, I have 2 days left of this week to finish my week 7. I have been putting it off. Ugh! So, my goal is to do my 25 min. run tonight...in the dark. Not my preference but...I HAVE to bc hubby needs to be home to watch the kids. Anyway, wish me luck that I do it!

I lost 3 pounds!

It took me a month and a half but I'm happy! I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere! Happy Day to everyone!

c25k week 5!

Last night was my toughest run by far. It was so humid, hot, sticky and thick! I felt like I couldnt breath. Anyway, I felt great after I took a cool shower and drank icey cold water. Woke up today wanting to workout, but that will have to be when my baby takes his nap. I lost a few ounces, no harm in that : )
Tommorrow will be my week 5 day 3 of my program. Very excited about that.
On another note, I have been so busy with the kids back in school and activities. Booked my tickets for the wedding. My hubby will watch the 4 older kids for me for 5 days. I am now looking forward to my trip to see my family! Have a wonderful day!!!

It's a new day

I love new days!
Today I will be on my week 4 day 3 of C25K!
Still dissapointed about the wedding, though.

My true feelings

So...there is a wedding that I am going to be in, that takes place in a month and a half. I do not wish to participate in it. I am super upset. Why? Because I will be the biggest one up there, I have to fly to get there, find babysitters for the kids, wear a hideous dress, ect ect. Anyway, I am so frustrated. You would think this would be motivation to lose weight fast, but NO, I'm still gaining. I can't stop eating the ice cream and white breads, ect. I'm so stressed about this and feel like giving up. Why can't I have good days everyday???????????????

Haven't given up

I'm keeping on it. No matter how overweight I feel or look, I know that I have good days and feel good. I feel most good when I work out. I decided to start my week 4 tonight instead of tomorrow. So, I feel very good.

All Caught Up

This coming week I will be on week 4 of my Couch to 5K program. It's a 9 week program so far, I am very disapointed in my weight loss results. I don't know if its that gaining muscle business or what. Frustrated!
Anyway, it also doesn't help that I ate Ice Cream for dinner.
Just stating the facts. Maybe it will make me feel better to own it.

YAY!

So, I didn't have the best two days. But...so far my eating has gone very well! My digestive system is all messed up from that last 2 days of eating out. My hubby took me to lunch yesterday. We went to the Olive Garden. I of course, over ate. Hopefully I can get it together. October will be here before I know it!!!

Actually did well today

I worked out, ate decent. No big binges, yay! And I think I will end on a pleasent note by going to bed a little earlier than usual. Hope everyone wakes up a few oz. lighter!

Someone please remind me....

Someone needs to remind me that I love working out. It makes me feel good and I have extra energy. I finally did my workout that I put off for 3 days! I'm so happy. I will be logging my weight loss on Wends.
I didn't log last week because it was only .4 lbs and I didn't have time since I had company. I'm really shooting for 185 on Wends. COME ON 185!!!!!!
