Week 14 - Weigh in - same weight

Stayed the same @ 199.6

Ok so my weight stayed the same this week. As long as it doesn't go up it's good right LOL. Last week was really hectic. Everyday somebody needed me for something so I didn't really get to work out all week. I walked a mile and a half on Tuesday and I ran on Saturday but that's about it. However, I was never inactive. I walked all day everyday so I'm pretty that's why I didn't gain any weight.

I also wasn't in the best of moods all week. I was sad and tense all week due to my grandmother's passing away last weekend and having to deal with the funeral this past week. I was happy I was so busy all week because I didn't want to sit down and think about it. Now I'm just trying to get back into my routine.

I feel almost normal today. Had a 3 mile walk. I didn't feel like running but at least I was able to walk :) As I've been told before...just keep on pushing! 

Week 12 - Weigh in - same

At 200.8 now

Ok so I stayed the same (well gained some ounces) last week. No bueno! It's like 199 is teasing me and is trying to deny me entry LOL. Darn you 200! I shall conquer you haha. Ok enough of the dramatics, I only have myself (and my roomie shhh) to blame for the lack of movement. 

I did run daily but instead of eating first and running I swapped it out all last week and ate out with my roomie nearly nightly. That did hurt me. We've been going out due to a working fridge but I took advantage and chose every fatty food nightly lol. I'm not doing that this week. I'm back to eating better but I still feel sluggish.

I felt sluggish last couple days too. I did half my workout (less then 2 miles) by taking my bf's son out for a walk/run and I took yesterday off and I feel it. After my initial resistance the run felt great today. I even raced some chippy who was trying to pass me. Don't you know you can't pass me if you run at my speed?? I always pass em. 

So the plan for this week is activity, activity and more activity! We have a video shoot I will be working on for my company so I will be on my feet for next week. Active week here I come! I may need a massage on Monday when it's all over LOL.

Week 4 - Weigh In

Date: 1/22/2012 
Weight: 208!
Activity: Walk & Jog


Rough week but I lost 1 pound! My nutrition was horrible. I didn't eat very healthy but I continued and actually increased my workouts! I finally ran for 2 straight miles! That was so cool and happy that I was finally there but since doing so on Friday I haven't been able to repeat lol. My shoes are horribly worn down and I felt it that night and the rest of the weekend on my knees. They ached all night. Felt like I even had water in my knee. Can that happen with bad shoes?


Needless to say, I'm getting new running shoes this week LOL. I did manage to walk briskly both Sat. and Sun. so at least I was able to stay active. 


However, I'm still having issues accepting that I have to eat better. I ate heavy starches most of the week. The only thing that helped me was that I've increased my walk to 2 miles for the most part. 


The best part of all this though is that I'm finally seeing the weight loss on my waist. My Patriots Jersey I wore today was not as tight as it has been lately :) I'm just excited to see the beginnings of tangible results!

Week 3 - Weigh in

Date: 1/8/2012 
Weight: 209 :)
Activity up to this date: light bike/walk/jog/dance
Activity this week: Walk/jog/dance


Had awesome week! I lost 3 pounds. The 2 I had gained plus an extra one! I'm excited! Finally. It's been my 3rd week now no soda now, still sad about that lol. Between that and my daily walking, I'm pretty sure that contributed to my weight loss. I'm taking my walking up a notch this week. I'm going from 1 mile (1 walk around the park) to 2 miles! I still want to increase my speed. As I'm walking I have to keep reminding myself to speed up because I tend to get sucked into my music and stroll lol. No strolling! 


My roomie has managed to walk with me half the time...pretty good for her. She's not the most active person I know so that achievement is pretty good for her. It helped her lose 4 pounds this week. That and not eating as much LOL. We both ate less and better this week although I still had a lot of tortillas with my meals so the nutrition part of my overall change of life is less than satisfactory but better than 2011 already!


We did have a party this weekend and danced a lot on saturday. I dance most of the night and made sure to stay active. I also limited my alcohol intake to just Tequila shots so I didn't load up on juices and soda drinks as is my norm. I do plan on having some of these cocktails this AFC championship Sunday (go Patriots :)) but I'll make sure to work out ahead of time! I did do that this weekend, even Sunday, even though I was very tired, I still managed to do a brisk walk to continue my routine. 


Not only is weight loss a goal in 2012 for me but so is constant activity. I was too stationary in 2011 and I'm not going back! :)
