I want to be a loser

I can thank my online running buddies for helping me find this site.  If it wasn’t for the support they have given me the past 9 weeks I would still be sitting on my couch.  I can honestly say that I can run 3 miles without stopping.  Although my face is beet red when I am done, I can do it. 

So, now I find that it is time for me to get support and an outlet for my eating habits.  I tried doing a blog before and it worked for a while.  I even had a deal with my daughter that if I didn’t lose the weight that she would post my before pictures on my myspace page.  I was only wearing my sports bra and tiny shorts.  Not a pretty picture.   I didn’t lose the weight and being the loving daughter she is she didn’t post the pictures.  I also deleted my myspace page just in case she changed her mind. 

My eating habits have never been good.  But I hope that having to write everything down I will be more conscience of what I eat.  With that said I will let you know I just finished off a bowl of rocky road ice cream.  I don’t think that it is bad to have ice cream.  It is the size of the bowl that matters. 

A little background on my life-6 years ago I dropped 25 pounds.  I was 125 when I started and at my lowest I was probably under 100 pounds.  I was unhealthy.  I was going through a stressful time in my life and my diet consisted of tums, water and sometimes a power bar.  Every once in a while I would have an apple, yogurt, or a string cheese.  That was it and not at the same time.  When my life started get back on track I started eating again.  The weight came back on.  And back and back.  Now I am up to close to 160.  I would like to just get down to 130.  And then see from there. 

So here I am going on and on.  I should be going to bed so I can get up and go for my run. My goal for Monday May 19th is to have cereal for breakfast. Yogurt for a snack. WW lunch with an apple.  Dinner I don’t know yet, but I will keep my portions small.  And drink water all day. 

I am also planning on running 3 miles in the morning. 

I will say that today I did work out during The Office.  I lifted weights and did some ab work.  I will do that Monday night too.
