WHO HOO!!!

I am so freeking proud of myself!!! I am not a runner, my stamina it one of my weekest points and decided to work on it today and I just got finished with 20 min on the eliptical and the I got on the treadmill and ran a 12 min mile!!! without stopng or feeling worn out!!! Yay me!!!! then I slowed down thinking I was done cause I reached my long term goal and I felt like running again! So I ran another 1/2 mile and for the last .15 miles I sprinted!!! I am so proud of myself. and to boot Ive kept of 13 lbs. for the past 2 months as well as toned up considerably. I am not going to screw this up in the last week we have to do this so I am going to watch what I eat and work out everyday!!!

Last chance workouts

Ok so we are in the last stretch of this and its time to buckle down and get a move on it. Yesterday I wet on a 8.5 mile bike ride and it felt good. Today I had 2 eggs with some cheese and sundried tomatoes and garlic, a zucchini muffin and a coffee for breakfast and for lunch I had a salad wit some sliced almonds and balsamic vinegrette dressing with a little pork on top. Im going to kick boxing tonight and I going a little early so I can do 20 min on the stairclimber. Im going really lite for dinner and im going to at as soon as I get back for working out so its not to late.
I feel like I need to work on my stamina so in the morning im going to do my running podcast and try to really push myself. Ive been doing my cardio and then doing situps and pushups after and I really am noticing a big difference in my strength but I want to be down 20 lbs by the end of bootcamp so I really need to step it up a bit.

Tuesday

So the class I did last night was the best class ever!!! I loved it and I'm going back tomorrow night for more. I had chicken and asparagus for dinner last night and today I had a low carb zucchini muffin and some slices of cheese and lunch meat for lunch and another muffin for a snack. Then for dinner I had a chicken Caesar salad. I didn't get to work out today :( which upsets me but I'm planing on going on a bike ride tomorrow morning and of course kickboxing at night. I need to go to publix and do some shopping desperately so Ill talk to you more tomorrow.

Back at it!

Ok I know Ive been M.I.A. for a while but its been a crazy couple of weeks. But I'm back and in full force. Ive been stressing over this stall Ive had and maybe this break was exactly what i needed because I got on the scale after missing almost all week at the gym and eating not so great and somehow I dropped 2 lbs.! 164.0! I'm happy so now its back to feeling healthy and eating right and working out. Today I ate breakfast around 11 and I had 2 eggs with some turkey and broccoli and then since I ate late and really wasent hungry I had some cottage cheese with 2 strawberries cut up in it around 1:30 and a yogurt with some chopped pecans around 3:15. I am starting a new class at the gym tonight with Katie, kickboxing! yey! Should be fun, We have to drop our tuesday weight class for a while because we signed the kids up for t-ball. So on tuesdays we will have to bring them and were planning on walking while they play. Ill be back later to let you know how the class went. Bye

Monday

Hi all. Iknow ive been missing for a few days. Sorry about that my cousin from Holland came into town so it was a bit of a hectic week. I did eat alittle more and had a few carbs but what ive strted to really pay attention to is if I feel like I really want someting to go ahead and take a bite and chew it slowly and reallt ask myself if its worth it. If its not I put it down and dont think about it again. If it is I allow myself a small portian and enjoy it. I really want this to be a complete change for me in how I think about food so Im really pulling out the big guns and paying mor attention to myself and my cravings. Most of the time its not worth it so im happy :) Anyway. New week new begining right? Today I havent eaten yet which isnt good but I weighed myself and Im still steady at 166 lbs. I am over the binge feeling. I had a coffee this morning and im going to make a very low carb lunch since I did eat a few more than I should have this weekend. Maybe a tuna salad on 1 piece of low carb toast. I have to push myself to drink way more water and I know my aversion is the blandness. So when i go to the grocery store I will pick up some cans of seltzer water. I might have a bit of a hard time getting good workouts in this week beccause its my sons birthday and were having a party this weekend so its going to be a very busy week. Ill be back later to check in.

Bitch session

Ok so ive been good right??? worked out hard....and now im getting obsessed again and I dont want to be that person. I want to be relaxed about my eating and enjoy working out but how can I do that when I cant lose any weight?!?! How can I be happy when I try so hard and cant seem to do anything right? Why cant I lose it. ive done it before and been way lighter and now I cant! I dont want to be scary skinny I want to be comfortable in my own skin.
I had a ceasar salad with mahi for lunch and I had some of my muffins for a snack. I feel like im walking on a tight rope and about to fall....arggg Not sure what im gong to have for dinner yet. Im thinking chicken and veggies.. Thanks for listening :)

Tuesday morning

Good morning. So my little binge day on sunday set me back 2 lbs! I'm pissed. I tried to be really good yesterday I had eggs for breakfast and a cup of coffee. I had a large salad for lunch and then I had a piece of string cheese and some salami. I went to the gym last night and did 50 min on the elliptical and then for dinner I had steak and asparagus.
I found a couple of low carb options for breakfast that are different then eggs. I made a zucchini carrot walnut muffin out of flax meal and today I made a warm peanut butter cereal out of flax meal. I have to go to the dump this morning and I have Bodypump tonight. I think I'm going to go early and get a half hour of cardio in before the class. I'm getting discouraged because I'm not dropping any weight but I know I cant give up. I really want to be a healthier happier person and I know the number on the scale isn't the most important thing but I also know I can lose weight it just seems so hard and when nothing happens is very depressing.

Grrrrr.....

Ok so im have a crappy day....food wise.....crabby wise... just one of those days... Im doing a little binge eating and its one of those where im telling myself "dont eat anymore your not hungry" but i cant seam to help myself.. anyway i have been able to stay away from carbs but I stil cant controle myself today. I did finally reach the point of stoping but im blah...I had another coffee & wanted to eat all the leftover long john silvers so I finally just trew it all away! then I ad peanuts, then I had a beef stick, then I had a jell-o...uggg im pissed!! now my husband brought king crab for dinner....AAAAHHHHH!!!!!
