11/6

I love Fridays - I get off work early - and I don't have to do anything.

And that is what I did.

I laid on the couch and watched 4 weeks worth of Brothers and Sisters.

Then took a little nap and then Matt came home.

We went to dinner at 8:15 with some friends - I was worried that I would eat after 9 - but I finished right at 9 maybe a couple bites after 9.

I drank water at dinner :-D

1- I reaalllly wanted Wendy's today - but I drove my butt home and had a sandwich here instead.

2- No alcohol

3- not much eating after 9 - maybe a couple bites

4- REST DAY :-D

5- no soda - though I was tempted - but the whole no soda for almost 2 weeks keeps me from ordering it

6- 4 nalgenes

7- I could get 9.5 hours of sleep tonight.

 

Tomorrow I have to get up at 10 and go run - I have a lunch date with my mom, then I am getting my nails done and babysitting, then coming back to VA so if I don't run before I go I won't do it. This is the ultimate in dedication as Saturdays are supposed to be a day where I don't have to hear the beep beep beep of my alarm - sigh. Weigh in tomorrow - I hope it is nice to me considering I ate a big dinner at Japanese Hibachi. Lots of rice , and steak...hmmm best ever.

11/5

Today was good - I enjoyed my run and I didn't go kicking and screaming. I thought I broke my toe right before I went running - It killed at first but got better as I went- It has a huge bruise on it. Way to go Ang.

 

1- No fast food  - at pretty healthy

2- no alcohol

3- no eating after 9

4- I ran today and then I did some arm exercises. I ran my normal 1.5 then walked 5 ran .75 and walked 5. I felt good. Sunday I up it again

5- no soda

6- 4 nalgenes

7- I slept about 6 hours last night. Planning about 6 hours tonight. I will nap tomorrow though! YAY!

11/4

First let me say - I have the best bestest ever. I got a nice card in the mail congratulating me on getting in my smaller jeans.

It is hung up for inspiration to get into smaller jeans.

hehe and she is right above it.

Love her


So today was a rough day - I slept horribly last night - I saw every hour on my clock. So I woke up tired and wanting to cry. Then I forgot my lunch, which meant I forgot my water packets too. I really should like the taste of just water- but I only like it from our brita (or a brita) and they don't have one. So I had to meet her to get the girls their swine flu shots- but the line was around the building and she had to get to work and didn't want them waiting outside. No biggie, but the girls slept in the car - so they didn't nap at home. Sigh. I had 1 nalgene to get me through. I didn't have lunch - and I didn't have the energy to lug 2 car seats into subway. So I got a grilled chicken sandwich from BK. :( no fries or soda though. Not having my little packets meant I didn't have any caffeine, so I got a headache. I mentioned this to Meredith and she made me split a diet coke with her. :( I didn't want it, because I haven't had a soda in over a week. But I made good choices with the crap day I had.

1- Grilled chicken at BK - no fries

2- no alcohol

3- no food after 9 - though matt is torturing me right now eating Wendy's - it smell sooo good.

4- I did JM and some other ab exercises. Aubrey gave me a good idea to try next JM day. I am going to use my weights for some of the cardio for added workout

5- 1/2 a diet coke :(

6- 4 nalgenes ( yup I made up for no water during the day when I got home)

7- last night I got crap for sleep. I am going to sleep in 10 mins- and so I will get about 7ish.

Running tomorrow - I will not be a brat about it.

I am excited for Sat weigh in - not excited for Sunday pictures. HA

Constant reminders of why

This is my apartment right now:
Every AM on my way out the door

I see this stuff everyday - and it makes me run....now if only it makes me shower and go to bed. OK OK I'M GOING.

11/3

Man- remember that last sentence from last night? You know the one about being excited to go run... yea.

I went to the gym kicking and screaming today ( not literally - but I did whine a good bit first)

However - I ran, and I ran my plan - and I felt good.  I am glad I did it.  I still iced my knee today even though I don't have anymore pain - just incase.

1- no fast food

2-no alcohol

3- no eating after 9

4- I ran 1.5 miles walked 5 ran .75 miles walked 5.   And I LOVED IT.  I should try to run faster - but that will come

5- no soda- though I wanted one - bad. I took a sip of Matt's and then finished my water.

6- I drank 4 nalgenes.

7- about to shower and go to bed.

 

So I was excited to run last night - I am not excited for Jillian tomorrow. I don't really like her. Hahaha.

11/2

Shew today was a long day at work!

 

I did wait until almost 9:30 to do my JM workout but it was for good reason. I was catching up with my Carol Dory. :-D

 

For the rules.

1- no fast food - but yes, another candy at work. Whatever I want it. I could eat a WHOLE SNICKERS thanks to Jillian - but I choose a little fun size candy.

2- no alcohol

3-  no eating after 9.

4- I did JM and I used a heavier weight and OMG - OH MY GOSH.....The last strength move you life the weights up right in front - I feel it in my arms, back shoulders. OUCH.

5- no soda

6- 4 nalgenes

7- i got 6.5 hours sleep - still not straight through the night. I always get up at 4 to pee. Sigh.

 

The best part of all of this - I am excited to run tomorrow. WHAT?!

11/1

The start of week 3 and it went better than expected.

I went for my run earlier than normal. My knees felt good. I was going to run 1.5 and walk 5 and then run .5 ( .25 miles less than normal) But after I ran my 1.5 and walked 5 mins I started running again and felt good. I decided I could do the normal .75. So I upped my mileage by .25 and ran 2.25 today. :-D Victory - except I have to re-plan my training schedule.

1- no fast food - I did have 2 pieces of candy - 1 after lunch and 1 after dinner - damn it.

2- no alcohol

3- no eating after 9 so far - but I am hungry

4- I ran today (depending on my knee I may do a different video tomorrow since those lunges in JM may hurt

5- no soda

6- I have drank 3 nalgenes

7 - that extra hour of sleep last night was nice. I slept 10 hours. I am going to bed soon tonight too. :-D

 

I cheated and weighed myself  this am - and I lost another pound. 5 lbs total, and my mom said she could tell! YAY!

 

Aubrey said she was going to start taking a weekly pic of herself in a bathing suit - and as unhappy as that makes me I like the idea - so I will too. But you wont be seeing those ever. Until the bathing suit looks good. :-D
