impressed!

Am I finally getting my head out of my arse and getting back in the game plan? I think so! I have been tracking Weight Watcher points this week and staying in range. I also worked out FOUR days in a row!!! I have started back slowly. Day 1 was an hour on the recument bike, days 2 I hit up Low Impact with Torri (she does ww with me and our husbands work together) and the 3rd day we did water aerboics.  We of course were the youngest in low impact and water aerobics but i hope to be that fit when I am their ages.

Then came the lazy day...what do you do when you just don't want to gather the kids up and drive to the gym? I can tell you what I did! I set my timer on my iphone to 30 mins and hit my stairs in my house, up and down up and down at the top, I did different exercise at the top and the bottom! Whew let me tell you after 10 mins I was over that and wished I had just went to the gym lol!

The rest of this week I plan to work on more water, water, water.

2013!

So yes I have been MIA, no I didn’t do my running streak and sadly I have a running injury!  I have plantar fascitis and it totally sucks!!!! I am going to have to give my foot some really good rest before picking up running again.

The new year has started and I made a couple goals for myself. 1- decrease debt not increase it, the goal is no credit card usage 2- to get to 175 lbs by new years eve 2013.  3- to run Women’s half marathon in Petersburg, FL in less than 2:30. 4- read the bible entirely.

I hope to keep my blog up to date more as well :) As far as family life goes, this weekend we drove up to LA so Todd could get in his CA half towards our goal of running in all 50 states. I signed him up for one we could go both go to and I also thought we were moving this month so we needed to have it early in the month. He got to run in Dodgers Stadium but he said it had about 4 miles of hills. I think he wasn’t very happy with me for picking him a half to run :)

Todd has mentioned he is kinda bummed I stopped eating paleo because he really wants to eat that way when he finally goes to shore duty so maybe I will pick it back up but for now it is Weight Watchers for me! Weigh ins are with a bunch of girls in my housing area on Wednesdays so i will start updating wi results.

Workout today consisted of 1 hr recumbent bike.
Happy New Year everyone, let’s make 2013 a great year!

One week of the streak complete!!

Yay!!! I'm starting my 3rd night shift in a row but made sure I had time set aside to get in just one mile. I know myself and if I skip a day it'll be easy to skip another one.

Big news, I'm going back to Weight Watchers. I'm going to start Saturday with the reveal of their new program. I know I go back and forth but WW is how I got to my lowest weight after having Berkley and I'd love to see the 160s on my scale again!!!

For the best news today, I ran a mile under 10 mins!!!

Day 1 in the books!

Well day one was hard but I stuck to my goal of logging in My Fitness Pal (MFP) my food intake. My goal is honesty to myself. I was doing really well and at dinner time I was starving, then I realized I hadn't consumed very many calories. This made leftover cookie cake irresistible . I found hot tea helps and I had 3 cups
today.
Well I'm off to order Half Marathon by Jeff Galloway and catch some zzzzzzzzzs

Streaking?!?!?

It's not what you think!  Happy holidays everyone, my waistline is ready for 2013 that is for sure!!! Potlucksm, birthdays, holidays etc has put a HUGE gain on my scale boo. As I was catching up on blogs this week I read about Runners world holiday streak. This is perfect for me, especially with my work schedule. I along with Todd have pledged to run at least ONE mile a day from thanksgiving through New Year's Day.  Thursday and Friday I ran one mile, Saturday 2, and about to head out for today's run.  While I'm running I will decide what meal plan I'm starting in the am! I'm also promising to myself that I will log ALL food intake for a month starting tomorrow!

I hope everyone had a great Turkey day and didn't add the pounds like I did :-/

Update

The plan to eat paleo for fri, sat, and Sunday worked great. Then I got off work Monday and met a friend for breakfast. I had sweet potato pancakes, eggs, bacon, and coffee. I munched on paleo foods the rest of the day but come Tuesday I binged. Tuesday was my sister's bday, she would have been 31.  Today has been good, I ate at the Habit and skipped the bun :)

I am halfway through week 2 of my half marathon training. I wrote out my schedule in my planner and trying my best to stick to it. Sunday I ran 3 miles, Tuesday 1 mile and Zumba, Wednesday 3 miles.  I have a 4 mie run planned for Friday.

Today was my first appointment at San Diego Spine and Rehab. I told them about my right knee pain I get while running and the pinched nerve I think I have. They took X-rays of my knee and shoulder, gave me a focused massage, and put me on some electronic device with ice on me. I go back tomorrow to review my X-rays and set up a treatment plan. Currently I am supposed to 3 times a week for a month.

Can you guys believe Thanksgiving is a week away?!?! Who is running a turkey trot? I am not this year but plotting a half marathon for my husband to run before we move. P.S. we are moving to Kings Bay, GA after the holidays, don't know the exact Navy definition of "after the holidays" .

different approach

So I am stuck in that rut where breafkast goes ok but somewhere between breakfast and bedtime all hell breaks loose and I have ate like it is the end of the world. I saw a quote this week about setting smaller goals so you can reach them so I decided to make a small goal. Tracking fri, sat, and sunday before I go to bfast on Monday morning. Saturday has went well!

Carlsbad half training-going the same as my diet BAD! blah I skipped my long run this week which was only 4 miles. I have to get with it!!!

I need motivation people GIVE IT TO ME!
