Ack! Much to write about. I feel this will be all over the place.
Food thoughts
Weekend was good. Filled with WAY TOO MUCH eating out… what is it about sabotaging ourselves when we’re close to a milestone? I would easily be seeing the 160s right now if it wasn’t for yakitori and Einstein breakfast-induced food comas. [...]
With my weight, that is. Haha. ok, don’t kill me for being cheesy.
Official Friday weigh in is 170.2. Oh 160s, I can see you in the very near distance! Talk about motivation for staying on track this weekend.
The sleep thing - took my B vitamins at 1 p.m. (yeah, what was that about [...]
I can’t believe that the race is one month from today! I am SO excited and feel really confident and ready to race! I think the longer distances that I’m logging every week are really have a good effect on my 5k time. I’m not sure if I mentioned it during my post on Monday [...]
It’s Wednesday. Oh how I wish it was Friday!
Yesterday was pretty typical. I tried to run 3 miles - keyword being “tried,” here. Apparently if I wear myself out running for 50 minutes on the previous day, running another “longish” run the next day will not go well. It took me 45 minutes (oh yes, [...]
Let’s start with the good stuff. I ate entirely on plan yesterday. I ran for 50 MINUTES! The scale is finally showing some movement. Everything that ails me about my body is feeling pretty good. This is shaping up to be a good Tuesday.
Bad stuff is… didn’t sleep well AT ALL last night. I thought [...]
Last week was the first week that I didn’t lose any weight - not even a tiny bit, despite being on plan and exercising plenty. 172 lbs. I’m hoping-hoping-hoping this is not the start of a plateau. I guess I should be grateful that I didn’t gain weight given all the eating out we did [...]
Wow, thank you so much for all the comments yesterday, ladies. You all are so encouraging and gave me lots to think about! Whenever I feel like giving up, it’s nice to know I can come here and feel inspired again!
I did a number of things differently to see if it had any [...]
This whole dieting thing, that is.
I feel like I’ve hit a brick wall. I get down on myself for not eating perfectly, for not exercising, for the scale being ridiculous with its fluctuations. I’m annoyed with myself for feeling obsessed with weight loss. I’ve dreamt about it a few times. I never used to weigh [...]
Just had to post this… we had a visitor around lunch time today:
Yup, that’s Mr brown bear taking a lunch time stroll around my work’s parking lot. He walked right past my window! Unfortunately since he’s far away from his home, we had to call animal control to come out. There’s a very popular trail, [...]
Thank you, FiberOne pancakes. Your effect was a little too great yesterday….lesson learned.
I’m back to 171.8 this morning! *happy dance*
It seems like my mind is in a million different places this morning. We decided to take a trip to Missouri before Thanksgiving to see my extended family - I’m so excited, but it’s going to [...]
