11/13

Fridays are supposed to be a rest day for me - they are also supposed to be my half day at work. But I worked a full day today, and decided that since I sucked it up on Wed and didn't do Jillian I would do her tonight.

SO - Friday evening I did Jillian's shred- and though I was told I would feel good about it later- I really just wish I had napped instead. :-D

1- so far I ate pretty good - and the only snack I had was a 100 cal pack.

2- no alcohol, and even though I am going out tonight I will not be drinking

3- I hope to not eat after 9 tonight, but since we are going out I may have to extend the deadline a little

4- I did JM - it was good, a nice painful workout

5- no soda

6- on my 2nd nalgene,will try to down 1 more

7- I am not getting up early tomorrow so I am sure I will get 8 hours.

 

11/12

This is late getting up - I worked late, ran, made dinner and cleaned last  night- then went to bed - no computer for me

the rules -

1- I hate pretty well last night. No fast food

2- No alcohol.

3- I did not eat after 9pm

4- I ran - 1.5 miles walked 5 mins ran 1 mile and walked 5 mins. I did it at a faster pace- but not any faster than Tuesday's run. Sat I will up the speed again.

5- no soda

6- 4 nalgenes

7- I got 7 hours of sleep the night before

11/11

A day of EPIC FAIL.

OK - so not everything was a fail, but a lot was.

I went to work later than normal - and it was raining  - by about 11 I had a slight headache, so I took some Excedrin migraine and went about my day.

I also had to work later than normal - and by the end of the day I was in tears. I had a full-blown migraine, and the girls were screaming because it is their crabby time of day (thank goodness I don't have to go through it everyday!)

I wasn't even sure I could drive home, but I made it and curled up on the couch and haven't moved.

I haven't had a migraine since I started working out -so when this hit all I wanted was a soda, and a big one at that.

I couldn't move from the couch so I put Matt in charge of dinner- he cooked Wendy's, and I ate it. And it was so good. But now I feel like crap. :( I SUCK

So the rules... poop

1- I ate Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich, some fries and a Large dr. pepper.

2-no alcohol

3- no eating after 9 - mostly because I haven't gotten the strength to get up, I am sure if I went into the kitchen I would sabotage myself there too

4- JM - NOPE. I can't move. Sigh. Maybe tomorrow I will run and do Jillian...maybe, or I will just call this day a loss and move on

5- no soda - NOPE... BIG soda, and not diet. POOOP

6- 3 nalgenes... NOPE 2.5 and I am getting ready to go to bed so I am not drinking the rest of it or I will be up 5 times to pee

7- SUCCESS!!! I slept 8.5 hours last night and it was the best ever. I am on track for some good sleep tonight, if I can fall asleep and stay asleep.

 

Lets hope this migraine was hormonal or something and not a result of the rain that we got today because it isn't going anywhere for the next few days and I can't handle this again. I promise to not suck so much tomorrow. Even if I have a headache I will not completely throw it all away and sabotage myself.

11/10

OH MAN! Today' s run was AWESOME! (besides when I was trying to text and run and almost ate it - hahhaha)

So Sunday I upped my miles to 1.5 walk 5 and run 1. (with upping the speed by .5 mph) It was hard and too much too soon I think.

Today I upped both runs by .2 MPH and it was great. It hurt - and I watched that last min and a half of both runs like a hawk because I thought I was gonna die  - but no pain no gain right? My knee started to feel like it was gonna hurt,  infact at some points of the run it was hurtting - but nothing a little ice didn't help.

I have kicked butt with the rules today! And I am shocked by my self control this past hour.

1- no fast food - no junk, I did have a starburts - but just one.

2- no alcohol

3- no eating after 9 - even though I made chocolate chip cookies at 9:15 - I didn't have any cooked - I did lick the spoon, but just the spoon - Matt got the bowl.

4- I ran today - no JM THANK GOD. GOSH I don't like her

5- no soda

6- 4 nalgenes

7- omg i slept like crap last night - I think I am 80. At least I get to sleep in tomorrow!!!

 

I created an excel sheet that helps me know how long I need to run at each pace to get to the miles I need for the day. I am still finishing the sub 10 min mile list but this is for those who run slow ( not for you aubrey! I will get your list soon)

11/9

Shew I was exhausted today - today was my Friday which meant I only worked a half day - and instead of coming home at 1 and doing productive things- I napped for 2 hours- FAIL.

1- Matt and I had quizznos for lunch - and dinner is pretty healthy, baked chicken and rice

2- no alcohol

3- no food after 9

4- I did Jillian Level 2. It was hard, and I was very tired. I struggled through it. Maybe Wed will be a better experience. I really think I may start doing some of the arm exercises at night on days I run.

5- no soda today!!

6-3 nalgenes....weak. I will be better tomorrow.

7- I slept like crap last night. Maybe tonight will be better.

Week 4.

I got up this am - and I expected that we were going to leave soon for the mall so I didn't run in the am. I wish I had - we ended up not leaving til 2... by the time we got home I was tired and hungry.

I had a HUGE fight with myself tonight. I was hungry and whined the whole way back from the mall 25 mins. We decided that it was too late to go home and thaw out chicken or beef- so Matt was going to have Wendy's and I was going to Subway - but I didn't want subway. I wanted a spicy chicken sandwich and to be honest- fries like no other. I knew that if Matt went to Wendy's there was NO WAY I was going to Subway. So I suggested we just go to the store and get raw meat so we can just cook it and be healthier. So we did! YAY I survived.

I also bought some motivation today (actually Matt did) In the form of 3 tanks from American Eagle. They were super cheap. So 1 was 6 bucks - I got it in a Large because I am pretty sure that will fit next summer. Then I got 2 shirts that were 3 bucks. In a Med. If they don't fit I will give them away, but I am pretty sure I will work it out and get in them. I hope



in a large - pretty

medium

my fav in a med


ok so today and the rules

1- fine - had a small lunch and rotisserie chicken for dinner

2- no alcohol

3- no eating after 9

4- I ran- today I upped the miles. I ran 1.5 miles walked 5 mins then ran 1 mile and walked a 7 min cool off. I decided to be super smart and not only up the miles on the 2nd run but up the speed. Cuz thats a great idea. right? RIGHT.. OY But as aubrey put it i was "thinking JM style! my body will change and adapt to the pain!" Oh ok... or I am just an idiot.

5-no soda - even though matt was reallly mean and bought a cherry coke for the drive home - I wanted it too! HUMPH!

6- 3 nalgenes

7 - I got a ton of sleep last night- I slept like a rock. :-D I am about to go to shower and bed now. Tomorrow is my friday so I will get off work at 12-1ish and I can nap if I want - but I have things to do so I am going to try to just go to bed early.

Sign up for that race is a week from Monday... oy. I have some doubts. But I REALLY want to do it.

11/7

In 3 weeks I have lost 7 lbs and I am running 2.25 miles and feeling good.

But I did it.

1- I ate out today - but I had a salad with fat free ranch

2- no alcohol

3- I did eat after 9 - I didn't have much for dinner - and I was starving at 11.

4- I ran - 1.5 miles walked 5 mins ran .75 miles walked 5

5- no soda

6- 2 glasses of water at lunch and 2 nalgenes today

7- I got 8 hours of sleep last night. I will get a lot of sleep tongith becaue I am not setting an alarm :-D

I think I found a way to get my plan on here - lets see if it works.
