I did very well this week staying in my point range everyday. I feel like I’m back in the eating game and I’m going to focus on exercise this week. I did go for a 4 mile run with Laura yesterday but that was my only form of exercise.

I’m down to 226lbs again. (a 101lbs loss) Just a little more before I’m in new numbers and don’t have to feel like I’m losing weight that I already worked off before.

And now I’m back.  The last few weeks have not been good.  I ate out A LOT, I didn’t exercise and the result was a 9.5lb gain! Barf.. 

But non of that matters anymore because I am ready to kick some butt and get this weight off of me.  I’m off to the gym this morning and I’m going to work up a great sweat!

I’m so excited!  I weighed in at 226lbs today. That is a 101lb lost in just over 11 months! 

This week has been rockin’! I ran 5 miles Friday, then took Saturday off to rest and on Sunday, Laura and I ran 6 miles! It was tough, let me tell you, but we did it! Mile 5 was the worst, I think. I start speedwork this week and I think it will be fun. Today I have a measly 2 mile easy run. I’m going to push myself and try to finish under 21 minutes or about 10:30/mile. I want to finish my next 5k in less than 30 mins so I need to work on my speed.

I’ve been eating well this week. This could be my week to hit 100lbs! We’ll see on Friday I guess… *fingers crossed*

I weighed in this morning at 229.5! Finally in the 220’s!! It was a rough start to the week but I pulled it together and lost 5Lbs. I took my measurements today and didn’t change much. That shows me I need to start working with the weights more seriously again.

I went on a 5 mile run this morning, by myself. I thought it would be harder than it was though still easier to run with Laura. It took me 59:43! Less than 12 min/mile.

This morning I am getting ready to go meet Laura for a 5 mile run.  Holy Crap, 5 MILES?!  I remember when I thought training for a 5k would take me until November 2009 and then Patti and I were going to TRY to run the Irish Jig 5k in 2010.  Now I run 5 miles? At a time? Non-stop?  Dang…

I think my body is back to normal after TOM. Friday, my official weigh in I was 234.5 (a 4lb gain since 7/24), Sunday I weighed in at 237.5 (a 7lb gain since 7/24) but this morning I am down to 229.5. (a 1lb lose since 7/24)  The body is mind boggling, that’s all I have to say.

Yesterday was day 330 since we started Weight Watchers! 

**UPDATE**

Laura and I ran 5.2 miles in 1:01:31… VERY NICE!!  It was a challenge to keep going at certain points but we did and it felt great!

I knew this week was not great but I gained 4lbs!! What the hell…

On to a new week…

It’s Wednessday already and I’m not ready for weigh in on Friday. I have had an OK week. I couldn’t workout Friday or Saturday, I ran on Sunday, I went to the gym Monday, ran on Tuesday and did some weights, and today I went to the gym again. My food is what has really been off. Saturday we went to my Dad’s for dinner, last night I ate out (and went over my points) and tomorrow I am meeting my friend for the day while she is in town from Kansas. We’ll be eating lunch but who knows where. I’m hoping I can fit in a run sometime on Thursday but I wouldn’t count on it. I really don’t want a gain.

Next week I don’t believe I have any wierd days, so food and exercise should be right on. That 100lbs is so damn close but I have a feeling I might be crawling to it at .5lb at a time! blah…

I went to my friend Laura’s house on Sunday morning so we could run on the trail in her neighborhood. It’s a beautiful trail! We were going to run 4 miles and then walk back to her house which was another 1.5 miles. We started at a good pace and just chatted the whole way. It was the best run I’ve ever had. We run at exactly the same pace. Laura has a map of the trail and it tells you the distances between points. When we got back to her house after the run she re-added the route we did just to make sure we had actually gone 4 miles and found out we really ran 4.5!! NON-STOP AND IN ONLY 54 MINUTES! That’s the farthest either of us have ever done. Next week it’s 5 miles!

I also brought my Weight Watchers information because Laura and her husband wanted to here about what I was doing and try it. We talked and I left my books for them to go through for awhile. I’m glad her husband is going to join her, I can’t image having to do it alone. I mean she always has me for questions and support but if the person you live with is eating whatever and whenever, it can’t be easy. I never would have made it this long without Heather. He seemed really interested in trying it and she did too! It is just so much easier for ME too when my friends are going through the same thing I am. It gives us lots to talk about while we run (not that either of us ever struggle with chit chat :] )

I woke up to TOM,  fun crap.  I did, however, manage to lose half a pound.  I thought for sure I would have gained because I feel bloaty.  I woke up at 2:30am with cramps and couldn’t fall back asleep.  Off to work I go….
