So I really felt that I was doing good this week, so I wasn't that stressed about my weigh in today. But, as always, there was that voice in the back of my head saying; "Don't be cocky!" So I was feeling a little anxious about my weigh in. OK, who am I kidding, I feel anxious every weigh in.
So I get on the scale and I'm down 3.8! Three Point Eight! Holy bleepity bleep bleep, i lost 3.8 pounds. I was just a little bit excited. I have been running on a high since then, I am p

Last week went really, super poorly. Pizza, cookies, ice cream and
chips were involved. I kept up with exercise and some non-health goals,
but basically had a week-long binge. It was really kind of saddening to
me that I allowed myself to slip backwards like that. I think it was
triggered by the anxiety and self-doubt that comes with a disappointing
weigh-in. I should be focused on my health and making long-term,
sustainable changes in my lifestyle. If I'm going to get so bent out of
shape about…

Well so far February's goals went by the wayside....but I have a good excuse. Me and everyone in my family has gotten the horrible stomach bug that has been going around. The good news is I lost an additional 4 lbs simply because of getting sick, but I feel weak as a baby.
We'll try to start it out next week!

No school today so I've spent the day relaxing, grading, and hanging out with my puppy. The snow came down significantly last night and with the low temps, all the melted snow is now frozen. It's not too bad out now, but I have to drive to a basketball game tonight and I'm a little worried about the drive home. The snow causes a lot of anxiety now!
Last night, I was hungry. No other word for it. I ate 9 points over my goal. Part of that was because of the cake crumbles I men

So I have been meaning to try these card squats that I saw in a magazine a few months ago....Today I actually tried them. There was a warning with the description to only do like 2x per week because of what a workout it was. After the first few I was like this isn't so bad.... When I was finished my legs shook for over an hour and they are still kinda shaky when going up or down stairs! lol.
I don't feel that comfortable doing my crunches or push-ups or planks or anything like that at m…

I don't really know what happened, but this weekend I just seemed to implode. I felt so great on Friday. I had a great workout and I did great sticking to my food plan. Then on Saturday little by little I just felt my resolve slipping away. I can't even blame it on one thing really - I was a little depressed all day for a lot of reasons. I didn't exercise at all. I ended up eating way more at dinner than I planned. Then on Sunday I munched away all day on the kids animal cookies and other jun

So I finished my trial week at the gym, and joined for real on Saturday. Since my last post, I went to a step aerobics class on Thursday, swam (in the salt water pool!) on Friday, and went to an "intro to spinning" class on Saturday.
I used to bike, but that spinning class kicked my butt. And it was only 1/2 hour. Maybe by the time I'm ready for a 6 AM workout again, I'll be in good enough shape to handle it.
One thing I don't think I mentioned in my first post was that I start…

My first day blogging about my weight. I never thought that I would talk abut my weight publicly but I need the accountability(to myself even if no one reads). I have started to lose weight beginning of January, not as a New Year's resolution but that's when we got back from our vacation. So far I have lost 8.5 pounds. I have a very long road ahead of me about 123 pounds more but I WILL get there. But for now mini goal is 10 pounds.
OK so this is a quick start for my blog. I will get in to m

I have noticed a trend in my life. After reading some books on babies, I have seen a lot of authors (though certainly not all) talk about getting structure to your baby's day. They say that structure is good for both you and the baby. Not rigidity, but structure. That got me thinking. Once upon a time I spent my 4 years in college with a lot of structure. I made structure and tried to plan my classes accordingly. Sometimes it didn't work out...but sometimes only came every now and then. When "so…

I am so terrible at blogging. I've still been reading, just not posting. I've been rather busy with wedding planning. March 21st is quickly approaching. We're so happy and ready for our big day!
In other news, I am 6 weeks pregnant! 2 weeks ago I took two home pregnancy tests, and they were both positive. Went to the health clinic to have it confirmed, and sure enough, I am expecting! My estimated due date is October 4th. We were planning, but with some medical issues in my finace's (R…

Today is a good day. It just feels right. This morning I woke up early before the alarm went off. I felt refreshed and not dead dog tired like I usually do. I was pleasantly surprised since last night I couldn't fall asleep. I got ready and walked 30 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 mph. When I got done I realized that I had a full 20 minutes before I had to get Tommy up for school. Usually I would spend that time rushing around doing this or that around the house. Today I did something different…

On Sunday I started to notice that my knees were hurting whenever I would stand up, sit down, squat down or go up and down stairs. Standing, sitting and walking felt fine, but the transition was painful. Yesterday, I woke up and did 30 Day Shred Level 2, pushed through the pain and then it was so painful that stairs almost brought me to tears. I spent a good chunk of last night like this

Day 1 done, not necessarily succesfully, but I have to start somewhere and it can only get better.
I am catching up from being at my daughter's State Dance Team Competition all weekend so my physical activity was unpacking, doing laundry and chasing after my daycare kiddos - they brighten my day with their little personalities.
Journaling my food, but will begin completly journaling tomorrow with activity, calories, etc. I have to start somewhere and this is a start.

So while on the treadmill at the gym the unthinkable happened! My iPhone crashed and I lost some run data! Bah Nike+, bah iPhone!
The funny part is... Normally I would have put in another 15 minutes, grumbling the whole time and stopped. Instead, i rebooted my iPhone, continued to run and put 30 minutes onto my Nike+ after the crash. That had me on the treadmill for 46 minutes of running! Over 50 minutes including cool down. Go me, go me! I will admit that it was motivated,
