Week 8 - weigh in - Lost 2 pounds!

My jogging has improved! And I can do it pretty much every day now which is awesome. I'm doing more running than walking now but I still have my day when I'm feeling sluggish. I'm just not letting it slow me down...I'll just walk it until I get a burst of energy and run LOL. My progress is showing thought, since this past week I lost 2 pounds!!

Yesterday’s tweet: “just ran 3.1 mi in 42 mins 15 secs and burned 481 calories. Total burned so far: 4988 calories! on 2/19/12 at 8:36 AM #cardiotrainer”

I’m amazed at how easily the weight is dropping now. I get full faster during meals (shrunk stomach??) but I’m hungry more often. Great news for me! Means I’m metabolizing efficiently now. I’m still not on 100% healthy meal plan but it’s getting there. I eat less bad food so I say that’s a feat in its own right LOL.

I’m scared for this upcoming weekend. Friday we are heading out to Big Bear for a weekend vacation. I’m excited to finally go on vacation but traveling on vacation and traveling for work are different things. Vacation means bad food and lots of alcohol. I’m not going to lie..I’m going to indulge. So I’m thinking my goal this week is to eat healthy every day leading up to Friday. At least I’m able to get one last good run in on Friday before we depart. I may make that a 4 mile run! Saturday and Sunday I’ll aim to do a Tae Bo video or my own kickboxing and running in place since we are going to be snowed in. On Saturday we will be active with snow tubing all morning so at least I will have some activity. I just don’t want to gain anything for Sunday’s weigh in.

Wish me luck. Any suggestions on working out indoors will be greatly appreciated!

Week 6 - weigh in - stayed the same :/

Stayed the same weight. 

  Yup, I drank this week. I can see it reflected in my lack of weight loss this week. It was my gf birthday this week. So we had 3 dinner events for her plus I went out Friday and Saturday for drinks. I don't know how people can go out and lose anything? Kinda sucks.

At least I didn't gain anything this week, however, that was hard for me. I had to run/walk daily to make up for this weeks events. I missed 2 days of working out because of the going out so that didn't help me either.

This week I'm in Florida all week at a trade show. Traditionally this is the week I eat very well because I have to eat out daily but I'm determined to eat healthy at least! Starting tomorrow though LOL. My Monday was really bad! I ate fried foods all day and slept most of the day since it was my travel day. It's not like I can run on the plane hahaha.

I see seafood all around me. I'm going to opt for fish and shrimps whenever I can this week. Any other suggestions on how to eat healthy when you have to eat out day & night are welcomed! I'm already craving my morning breakfast of pancakes LOL. Maybe just a veggie omelet?? hmmmm....
