Chasing Pavements

I finished week 1 of C25K yesterday and didn’t mind it one bit. I am at a total of 4.5 miles for the Slump Busters challenge and am going to need to go to my mom’s and use her bike for the rest of them. Tomorrow is work, taking the kids to Columbus, and coming straight back for girls night!!! Don’t think I’ll be getting any miles in then! I will start week 2 on Saturday.

I’ve been staying on track this week and it’s been exciting. I’ve had to talk myself out of many things. Believe me. Yesterday, the whole way home I thought about driving through McDonalds to get my son something to eat just so I could get some cookies. I hadn’t made my mind up until the very last minute and just turned to go home. After I worked out, I drank a protein shake. I brushed my teeth and washed my face after and that seemed to really help. So far so good and I’m still on track to get my chicken statue!!! Yeah!!!

Yesterday went well. I stayed within my points once I used my activity points. I also did day 2 of C25k, which was a struggle to get started. We didn’t get home until late, but I got on the treadmill. After about 10 minutes I’m cool. Start to sweat and it just felt good. I also got in 2.25 miles for the challenge this week. When I got off, my 2 year old son was standing there. He started clapping and said,”Good job, mommy!” I mean how flipping cute is that???

Here is a bit of viewing pleasure for you….I saw this in a magazine awhile ago and actually saw it again in I think Parenting this month. It’s www.weightview.com. You upload  a picture of yourself and choose how much weight you want to lose. I think they give you the option of 5lbs to 50lbs. I of course chose 50, lol. It takes them a few days to email it back to you, but it’s still pretty cool to see. This pic was taken of me in September I think??? I’ve pretty much stayed the same since then. This pic is also a reminder for me to never wear ruffled sleeves with fat arms. ( The pic quality isn’t so good here for some reason.) (Also..THIS IS NOT ME AFTER. I AM NOT THERE YET! Lol)

I didn’t make last week’s goal…no fancy award for me I couldn’t even tell you what I did Friday night…hmmm. It seems so long ago. Anway I didn’t make it, but am DOING this week’s challenge. My eating has been out of control and I’m hoping this week will help get on the right track.

I started day 1 of the C25K challenge on Saturday. I’ll do day 2 tonight and then again on Wednesday. It felt great and I’m starting to look for some 5k’s to do at the end. Friday I am taking my kids to Columbus for the weekend and we are having girls night. Bw3’s and cosmic bowling!!! I am so flippin excited about bowling! I wonder if I can count the trips up the lane and back as mileage..lol. So kidding! Anyway, I need to make sure I save some points for dinner and drinks cause you better believe there will be drinks!

I am planning out my dinners this week. Dinner always seems to be a major issue for me. By the time I get home, I don’t want to cook then have to clean it all up. I’m headed to the grocery store today so I am completely prepared for ALL meals this week.

So far here’s my day:

B-Coffee-only 2 cups I want more, lol, and oatmeal

L-Not quite sure yet

D- Whole wheat spaghetti with these Jennie-O turkey sausage things cut up and salad

 Also, I’ve decided I’m weighing on Wednesdays again cause I just like it better!
