Feelin' Great!

So...I forgot my password to my blog....but I figured it out and now I am posting again. I have done really well the last couple weeks!! Not so much on the running front, but on the weight loss part. Whenever I run it really throws my body out of whack. I know I need to push through it and its not like I am even running for more than a few minutes.

I leave for Sunriver on Thursday and I am sooooo excited to spend time with the fam and be outside. Happy fourth to all of you and I hope you have a ton of fun and stay safe.

Weight: 193 (woo-hoo!)

First week down

Well today I feel great. I had a good run yesterday and am gonna do some pilates tonight.

Weight:198

Not so good in the weight loss but I give it to a first week slow start. No worries I'm not letting it get me down. Looking forward to this next week. Jac starts school on Monday and the babysitting begins again.

Happy Fathers Day to all those fathers out there. Hope you have a good weekend!

Why Food Why?

Why is it that when you set a goal and tell yourself you are going to cut back on sweets and greasy food THAT is exactly what you want to eat ALL THE TIME?!?!?! Completely irritating. Only 2 days in and I'm frustrated. On with the fight!! I will win this time fat. I am better and stronger than you!! You better pack your bags cause you are going on a permanent vaca!

Here I Go

I have had 3 C-Secions. The first was an emergency so there we complications. Recovery was hard due to an abscess in the c-section incision. Also I ate crap food the whole pregnancy...basically lived off Taco Bell. I gained 75lbs and only lost 37lbs. Next pregnancy I got up to 240lbs and lost about 40lbs after. Third pregnancy and last I only gained 20lbs but seemed to keep it ALL after. Now I have separated stomach muscles and weight to lose. I have done alright but lately my nemesis CAKE has had a strong hold on me. I love food! I am also an emotional eater. I hope to change these things.

Ok...here is the deal. I am setting a goal for myself to lose 3lbs a week for the next 10 weeks. It is actually a "Couch To 5K Training Plan". Along with this I am doing our Wii Fitness and Active workouts. I am also choosing to live a more active life. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and make it possible to be outside most days.

My current weight is 199lbs. I have already lost 30lbs since the end of February this year. But I have been back and forth over the 200 mark for a couple months. My overall goal is to be 150lbs. This 10 week goal will get me close.

My hope is that by blogging about it I can have some accountability for how much I do. Also I will be able to see the work I have done. I will post pics along the way...however embarrassed I may feel. Plus if I lose all this weight I won't have a choice but to go SHOPPING!!! So...Here I go!
