I Suck

March 14, 2011

I'm pretty disappointed in myself. At my weigh-in on Friday I was up 0.6 lbs. I wasn't expecting a big loss since I technically lost over 4lbs the week before, but I wasn't hoping for a gain of any sort.

Where I think I went wrong: I'll admit, I was intentionally not eating all my daily points and I know that's something you are not supposed to do. I think my body was in "starvation mode" and clinging to every calorie and gram of fat that I did eat.  This week I am going to focus on drinking lots of water and eating all of my daily points.

However, I am even more disappointed in myself because not only did I not run my 3miles on Friday, I didn't run at all last week since my lame 1 mile run on Monday. I haven't run in a week. L.A.Z.Y.

My 5k is in 20 days and there is no excuse for this.

Today I am going to run 1.5 miles, Wednesday 3 miles and another 1.5miles over the weekend (aiming for Saturday).

I pledge to all of my fellow followers that I will make these distances happen this week.

Hope your week went and is going better than mine.

Nervous

Thursday, March 10, 2011

I weigh-in tomorrow and I am hoping for a loss. After losing over 4lbs last week, I am expecting my body to be a bit resistant this week. I have been on point with counting my points and I want sooooo badly to reach 154. At 154 I will have lost 10lbs and get to take new progress pics. My goal is to reach 154 by March 25 (when I have some visitors coming into town that I will reveal later), and with the rate I am going, I expect that I should not only reach, but pass that goal up with no problem. *knock on wood*

Tonight I am heading to the gym and plan on running 3 miles straight in preparation for my 5k training. As my title suggests, I am pretty nervous because the most I have so far 2.6 miles and I don't want to disappoint myself tonight. My 5k is in 24 days and I am really hoping for a sub 35min time. If I keep my pace up as it has been, I might adjust that to be more like a 32min time. Right now I am pulling off sub 10 and 10:30 miles....just don't know if I can keep that up for 3.2 miles.

Anywho, I will report my weigh-in tomorrow. Best of luck to everyone!

"WINNING!"

March 4, 2011

Today, is a GOOD day my friends.

I didn't make my run on Wednesday night, but ended up going last night so it was OK. My goal was to run 2.5 miles straight. I ended up doing 2.6 (sweet!) and completed it in 25:51.....that's a 9:57 miles folks!!! Best time since I was in HS.

Now, for the very exciting news. If you do recall from my post at the beginning of the week, I had fallen off the horse over the past few weeks. Weighing-in at 160.1 I vowed to get down to my last WW weigh-in weight by my meeting today.

I just got back from my meeting....

I weighed in at 155.8! That means I lost 4.3 lbs THIS WEEK and am down 1.2 lbs since my last weigh-in. To quote Charlie Sheen - "WINNING!" 

Did I mention that this week I hit my 5% loss this week?  Yup! :)

I can't believe it. I am so excited (and proud) of myself. I busted my butt with my running goals this week (still have a run to come tomorrow morning) and have counted every last point. AND IT PAID OFF.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

I Mean Business...

I weighed myself today after weeks of not counting points, weeks of saying "I'll be better next week/tomorrow," weeks of blowing off my WW meetings and weigh-ins for whatever reasons.

After all of that, I weighed myself at home and my scale read 160.1.

UGH. That's 4 lbs up from my last weigh in at WW X-amount of weeks ago. So til I weigh in on Friday morning, I am counting every last point. Running EVERY single day that I have already set in my schedule:

Tonight: Running 1.5 miles
Wednesday: Gym Run: 2.5 miles
Saturday Run: 2 miles

I've got 34 days til my 5k.
And 45 days til Vegas.

I MUST weigh 145 by Vegas.

45 days to get down to 145...

...It's time to get my a$$ in gear.

Something New: Dragonfruit

January 7, 2011

Let me start by saying I LOVE that fruit and (most) veggies are zero points. It's amazing....and it's totally gotten me to eat WAY more fruits and veggies than I normally would - good work WW. At my WW meeting last week, my leader was talking about trying new fruits we have never had before and I took on her challenge. I tried a persimmon (delish!!!) and also I got a (nine dollar!!) dragonfruit. To be honest, I wasn't too impressed with the flavor of the dragonfruit - in fact I think mine may have not been at it's ripest because online it's reveared for it's flavor. Mine was good, but not too flavorful. But I couldn't believe how pretty and it is!! Take a look:
