This week had its ups and downs. I didn't get to log as many minutes as I would have liked, and the cold that has been lingering came back with a vengeance. But, I had an awesome run on Sunday. I felt so good, once I hit the 30 min mark, I kept running until the mileage was 3miles, then I kept running until it said 3.25 so I could honestly say I ran for 3 miles straight (I walk for the first .25 miles). I ended up doing 3.5 miles total! Then did weights!! I felt so good when I was done. Then woke up Monday morning feeling like shit!
Despite the crappy week, I still managed to lose. I am really hoping that I can kick this cold so that I can get back on track!
Challenge #1 track fitness minutes: 237 minutes
Challenge #2 track sleep: most nights I got 7 hours of sleep. However I routinely have a 3 year old who climbs in my bed at night, so I really don't think my 7 hours are quality hours.

Shrinkvivor Weigh-In
The first week of Shrinkvivor went pretty well. We were challenged this week with logging all minutes of exercise and to not eat fast food.
I always feel like I let people down when I have to log my minutes. As a working mom with three kids in activities I have to squeeze in my exercise when I can. I would love to be able to do more, but I'm not sure I could.
Staying away from fast food is not an issue for me, typically. We did eat out on Friday and ordered carry out on Saturday. Not sure if that counts as fast food. Friday's meal, I had a salad and used my dressing (on the side) sparingly, so I felt pretty good about my choices. Saturday we got Chinese carry-out. Not such a good choice, but I watched my portion sizes. My husband and I joke that a night of Chinese puts pounds on us overnight. This weekend was no different. I woke up on Sunday morning 2lbs heavier than I had been on Sat morning. Have spent the days since then drinking tons of water and trying hard to compensate for it.
I worked out everyday but Friday this week and feel good about my 324 minutes (5 hours 24 minutes), but wishing it could be more. I'm working really hard at getting back to running 30 min straight/ 3miles. Hoping it won't take too long to get back there!
My weigh in wasn't too bad, considering the Chinese food, but had hoped it would be more.

motivation
It's been a long time since I posted here. It's been a long time since I posted any where. Part of me wants to say it's because I've just been too busy. But a huge part of me knows that it's because I'm no where closer to reaching my goals. I turn 40 in less than 2 months, I have weigh more now, than when I last weighed in on this blog.
It isn't for lack of trying. I'm not going to lie and say I worked out a ton, but I did work out pretty darn regularly. This summer, I walked 2 miles every morning with the dog. Then I often went to the gym 3-4 days a week and ran 2-3 miles and did light weights. Didn't drop a pound.
I've been to the Dr and she says my thyroid is a little low. So now I am taking some medication, but still nothing budges. What is even worse, is that my husband has dropped a ton of weight and is up to running 5 miles and looks awesome; meanwhile I look like his frumpy dumpy wife!
Now that I'm back to work full time, I haven't had as much of an opportunity to work out, but I'm still doing something. I also feel like I'm pretty good about what I eat.
Obviously, not good enough.
That being said, I'm gonna do this again! I just signed up for the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans Shrinkvivor Challenge. I did it last year and it was great. That challenge is actually what got me running in the first place!
Hoping I get a great tribe this time around, and that I make it to the finals!

May Your Way Weigh-In #2
I'm participating in the May Your Way Challenge with the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans this month. I would love to say that I had another awesome week like last week. unfortunately, the great momentum I had last week waned a bit. I didn't get to workout like I thought I would, and the leftover Easter candy constantly called my name.
It wasn't a horrible weigh-in, but it could have been so much better. I did do awesome on drinking my water (averaged about 70-80 oz a day!)
I went to the gym yesterday after work and managed to run/walk a 5K in 40 min. I was pretty happy with myself since I took so much time off from running. my hopes of running in a 5K race at the end of the month are shot. Must find another one, soon!
Here are my numbers for the week:
Starting weight..........................187.2
Challenge starting weight.......186.6
Last week...................................183.4
This week...................................183.0
Loss.................................................0.4
Challenge loss...............................3.6
Total Loss.......................................4.2

May Your Way Weigh-in #1
I started the May Your Way challenge with the Sisterhood of the shrinking jeans on Sunday, May 1. Today is the first weigh-in and I was excited to step on the scale! Even though it had only been a few day, I was feeling good. I've been logging in my food intake and kept active, I knew there would already be a loss!
My goals for this challenge are going well. It is a busy time of year, but I am determined to get the exercise in! My husband was scheduled to be on evenings this week, so I felt I would have the time to go to the gym after work before having to be home to let the dog out. Monday, I screwed up and didn't take my clothes to work, by the time I got home, we got involved in things and I felt that I couldn't abandon my hubby with all the kids after staying home all day with the 3 year old (we have daycare issues this week). Tuesday, I spent all morning proctoring an AP Computer Science exam. Proctors are not allowed to do anything but watch the kids take the exam; it is soooo boring. So, I wore comfortable clothes, my sneakers, downloaded a pedometer app, and just paced around the room for most of the test. I managed to walk over 6000 steps just during testing! I was able to squeeze in some time in the gym after work as well. My body did not enjoy running after weeks of vacation. It has been screaming at me all day today!
I am sore today, and the schedule does not allow me time at the gym. However, I walked during my AP proctoring again today, despite my feet being angry! Hoping to get to the gym tomorrow after work! Once I get back into my routine, things will be much better!
Here are my weekly numbers:
Starting weight...........................................187.2
Challenge starting weight..........................186.6
This week....................................................183.4
Loss..................................................................3.2

back in the game
Things have not gone so well for me in the "be fit by forty" pursuit. I finished my last challenge with The Sisterhood and then stopped. I chose not to do the next challenge but chose to do it on my own.
That didn't go so well.
A little over a month ago, we brought a new puppy into our lives. While he is awesome, I had forgotten how time consuming it would be. I found myself sacrificing my workout time to rush home and let him out of his crate. I haven't' worked out or ran since he came home. I feel like shit because of it.
Eating-wise, I didn't feel that I was doing bad. I gave up candy for Lent, which was so hard, but managed to do it, without cheating! I was even good over Easter break. I got on the scale for the first time in a few weeks on Sunday-it was not pretty. I had put on over 5 lbs! Clearly, something needs to be done.
So, I am joining up with The Sisterhood for the May Your Way Challenge. My goals for this challenge are more about getting back into the workout routine, the weight loss should just be an added bonus!
Goals
Workout/run 3-5 days a week
Drink enough water
Lose 5+ pounds
Join me in this challenge!

Weekly Weigh-In, Belated edition
Just realized that I forgot to weigh in yesterday. Was home sick and totally forgot. Oh well, what can you do? Haven't been able to run in well over a week, and am definitely missing it. However, the upside of having little appetite and dulled taste buds due to a raging cold-a loss without working out!!

Power of One Weigh-In #6
This was not a great week for exercising, unfortunately. Lost of stuff at work and then kids got sick, but I was able to squeeze a couple of runs in, including one on Thursday that was my longest ever-33 minutes! Now I've picked up a cold from my kids and I'm miserable. Haven't been to the gym in a while and don't see it happening tomorrow either. SUCKS!
However, I still managed to lose. Am worried that maybe there is something wrong with my scale, I just don't understand why I would have a loss this week at all. Oh, well, I'll take it since next week might not be so good!

Power of One Weigh-In #3
Another week of the challenge and I'm already slacking. I really didn't get to work-out that much this past week. Schedules with three kids is tough and then the holiday weekend, events, basketball, Girl Scout cookie selling, then illness and an ice storm sidelined me! Still managed to lose though!

The Power of One Weigh-in #2
I totally forgot to weigh- in yesterday. Not sure where my head is lately, but better late than never, right!
I didn't get in as much running as I would have liked and we had company over the weekend (and that always means not-so-great eating). But I managed to eek out a loss!!
I wrote my letter to my 2011 self and am working on the weekly challenge for this week. I am super proud of my 5K run on Sunday!!! Because I fell behind on my C25K training, I wasn't able to run the whole thing, but it felt sooo good to do it and finish. I still can't believe that I ran for 28 minutes straight!!!
Here are the numbers:

The Power of One Challenge Weigh-in #1
Once again I am participating in a Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans weight loss challenge. This one is called The Power of One. The challenge actually started last week with our starting weight weigh-in, but I didn't do a blog post about it because we were out of town at my in-laws. I did weigh in though and got my starting weight, which wasn't actually that bad considering how many holiday goodies I had consumed!
There wasn't a whole lot of change with this weigh-in since I was really still in holiday mode until Jan 3 when I returned to work. but I am raring to go for the remainder of this challenge. with 2011 already started, it made me realize that my goal of being "Fit by Forty" is more important than ever. On November 10, 2011, I will turn 40 years old. I am more determined than ever to reach this milestone as a healthier, trimmer, fitter me!!
My New Year's Resolutions (with regard to fitness and weight loss) are as follows:
Workout AT LEAST 3 times a week
Run in a 5K this spring with my husband
Lose 20 (or more) pounds

Holiday Hoedown Weigh-In
This was a horrible week for me. All of a sudden the holidays are here and I am behind schedule. I am not sure how it happened, but I feel like I'm running on stress and caffeine. And Christmas cookies. And the cashew brittle someone gave my office.
AARRGGHH!
I haven't worked out all week. Unless you count hours of upper body workout with a rolling pin! Aside from sneaking a few cookies here or there, I actually haven't been eating that badly though.
Starting weight.........................187.2
Challenge starting weight......183.0
Today's weight..........................180.6
Challenge loss...............................2.4
Total Loss......................................6.6
not looking forward to what the next week will bring. I definitely won't have time to work-out over the holiday AND we will be traveling to my in-laws where the food is always plentiful.
Help me now!!!

Holiday Hoedown Weigh-in Wednesday
This week, I felt like I rocked my workouts. the weight loss didn't show it, but I really felt great after all of my runs. The C25K pushed me to do a 20 min run on Friday. I was terrified of it, but I did it without stopping or lowering my mph on the treadmill. I felt AWESOME!!! Thursday night I did my first exercise class at the gym-a 60 min Zumba class. I felt like an idiot, completely screwing up half of the routines, but it was SO MUCH FUN! I will definitely do it again.
So, there was no change from last week, which totally sucks, but at least I didn't gain anything!

Weigh-In Wednesday
Well, it's another wednesday and another weigh-in. Not too bad, but could have been better. I've been doing the Couch to 5K program (though I seem to be a week behind the other sisters who are training for a virtual 5K in January) and it was a big week for me. I was able to do all the runs without dropping my speed down and felt GREAT! There hasn't been a great weight loss(I'm still not back to my pre-Thanksgiving weight), but I feel great and my clothes are fitting better and people are noticing change... it feels so good!

I suck
I totally suck at this whole blogging thing. What on earth made me think I could keep up with two?! I could barely do one. I'm insane. Thank goodness I have a day job and don't need to figure out how to make this my job.
Today, I started week 4 on the Couch to 5K program...it kicked my ass. It didn't help that I really didn't pay attention to what I was putting in my mouth this weekend and jiggled a few more pounds while I was running my ass off. running for 5 minutes straight totally sucks once, let alone twice! I know that someday I'll look back on this and laugh, but right now it's not that funny.
As for the weight. I had an awesome weigh in last week, but am not hopeful this week at all. I didn't think I did that bad on Thanksgiving, but I guess I did. I've been fighting a cold off and on for weeks and my period came today, so I just know that tomorrow will not be pretty. AArrrgggh.
It is just so frustrating. I feel like I keep losing and gaining the same damn 5 lbs. I can't get things to move. I know I just need to push through, but hell, this sucks!
Pat started running again this week, after having taken quite a few months off. He pretty much just fell right back into it, running 3 miles easy. I think he secretly laughs at me when I tell him what I am running with this program. He asked me this weekend if I was going to be ready for a 5k in the spring. Duh! I said I would do it, and I am!
I will keep trudging along, but if you see an almost 40 year old frumpy lady huffing and puffing at the gym, please don't laugh.

Wedensday Weigh-in
This week I really feel like I fell into my rhythm. I finally started feeling awesome after my workouts and really dreading it when I couldn't go to the gym. I kept up with my water intake and tried to get my minutes logged working out as best I could. As I've mentioned before, finding more time is not too much of an option for me. I purposefully use the elliptical machine to get the hardest workout I can for the limited time I have. It works for me. In an hour I can get a great 30 min workout (plus 5 min cool down period) on the elliptical that logs me about 3 miles. Then I do 15 min (plus a 3 min cool down) on the treadmill where I get a little over a mile in. That's about all the time I have. I want to start incorporating some weights with this workout, but have to find the time.
Here are the numbers:
Starting weight: 187.2
Last Week: 186.0
his week: 184.0
Total loss: 3.2
Minutes of workout time: 206
Ounces of water: over 500 ounces (I am bad at keeping exact numbers)
NO Fast food (not even for the kids!)

Shrinkvivor Weigh-In #2
Man is getting old difficult. I swear my metabolism had damn near come to a screeching halt. It used to be so much easier to lose weight before I hit my late 30's!
This week we had some challenges thrown into our Shrinkvivor experience. We were challenged to log all of our exercise miles (not on a bike, however) and then to up our water intake. The folks at the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans told us to take our weight and divide it by 2 and that is the number of ounces we should be drinking daily.
Our miles were logged in beginning on Friday morning until last night. Here is what I logged
Fri 1
Sat 4.1
Sun 3.5
Mon 1
Tues 4.2
Total 13.8 Miles
Not great, but I also don't have a ton of time to get the miles in.
I wasn't as accurate at logging in my water intake, but I did pretty good. I calculated that I needed to drink over 90 ounces of water a day. I spent a great deal of time in the bathroom this week, but, except for Saturday when we were travelling, I was able to get my ounces in plus some.
Here are the numbers for my weight loss:
Starting weight 187.2
This week 186
Change -1.2
Total Loss -1.2
This week we had some challenges thrown into our Shrinkvivor experience. We were challenged to log all of our exercise miles (not on a bike, however) and then to up our water intake. The folks at the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans told us to take our weight and divide it by 2 and that is the number of ounces we should be drinking daily.
Our miles were logged in beginning on Friday morning until last night. Here is what I logged
Fri 1
Sat 4.1
Sun 3.5
Mon 1
Tues 4.2

Shrinkvivor Weigh in
I've been a member of The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans for about 18 months now. Until this latest challenge, I've posted my weight loss on my other blog. I am not sure how this whole blogging in two places is going to go. For now, I will do this here!
I am a little disappointed with my weight though. I went to the gym 5 times since last week and have been watching what I eat. Slow and steady wins the race, but maybe not Shrinkvivor!
Starting weight: 187.2
