Week 17 - No weight change

197.2 now! Lost 2 ounces LOL

I am not going to say I reached a plateau this week. I stayed the same because I didn't work out. At least not really. I walked/ran only 2 times last week. That's really bad for me. That explains why I felt heavy last week and only lost 2 ounces lol. Plus I didn't work out because I went out both for lunch and dinners most nights so I was busy. So not good for me! Luckily my metabolism is still working hard for me but not really working out last couple of weeks is not helping me!


I also noticed that I lose energy when I don't work out. Feels like a catch 22 for me. I don't work out I get sluggish but when I feel sluggish I just want to watch TV and don't want to get up and run lol. What to do right? This week I forced myself up and out of there. Hurt me to get back on track but I'm already feeling better :)


It's going to be hard to get back into complete shape this week because its my birthday week and have lots of events to attend lol. So much to do so little time! Actually what I'm doing (which I should of done last week) is switch over to morning runs instead of evening runs since my nights are busy. I have 2 parties (including my birthday one :) ) this weekend so it's going to be a challenge to keep up my good work lol. Shots, shots, shots! Come on next week!! 

Week 13 - Weigh in - lost a pound!

199.6!!

I finally broke the 200 barrier! Sweet! I’m 9 pounds away from my first goal (190) :) So excited! After I reach that goal I will work towards my second goal (175). These small achievable goals are really helping me stay motivated!

I ran all week except for Saturday – Tuesday. I worked 12 – 15 hour shifts from Thursday – Saturday so there was no way I could fit in running. I was walking day and night so I didn’t feel guilty about not running. I slept all Sunday and Monday which I needed badly; I just felt drained. At least my work project is completed so I’m back to normal tonight. I ended up going out last night but I didn’t overdue it on food (did not go carb overboard) and just ate my protein (beef ribs lol) and salad.

I’m feeling kinda sluggish thinking about running today but I’m not giving up. I figure if I can do a nice walk/run/walk tonight that will still help me keep my metabolism going. Although, my body feels loved the break. My knees aren't sore and my legs feel strong. So maybe I needed this rest.

This is my last week of the biggest loser challenge I participated in with my gfs. I’m glad it’s over. I’m tired of being asked my weight and asking my roomie for her weight. I’ll still keep blogging my progress but now the pressure will be over. My overall long term goal is still to run a marathon in decent time so I have to keep working out until I’m a lean, mean, running machine LOL.

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.
