more weight loss

So no one looks at this.
Which maybe I prefer since this is a blog about my weight loss journey.
I started in January eating better and have lost 11 lbs since then.
Then 4 weeks ago on April 1, I recommited and started doing better at eating and working our regularily. I have lost 4 lbs since then and 7 inches. I feel great. I started doing the Slim in 6 program and I wanted to just see if it worked. Well I have 2 weeks left and know that I have to take "after"PICTURES so I am really going to work my butt off (literally) these next 2 weeks so I can be ready for a bathing suit!
Here's to another week, another pound!

Chug a Chug a

OK back on the train AGAIN. Who life isn't this the story of? I am sure everyone feels the same. every week, even day for me I start over and have to remotivate myself. I wonder if there ever come a time/day/amount of time spent working out when you finally just do it and dont have to talk your self or trick yourself into it.
I am kinda frusterated right now. my knee cap is killing me and so lunges and the bike and alot of other things have been really hard for me to do. I just want to get my good workout in so I can get my tones legs back. ARG! I haven't had that for over 4 years. My real goal?? A flat belly. I have never had this since high school and that was just out of the fact that I was young and really pre-pubescent for the most part!
So I worked out 3 times last week and yesterday, I am on a roll and loving it!
My goal is to be 10-13 pounds lighter by May.... good luck to me!

this week coming up

The start of a new week. I am feeling not so refreshed today but hopefully tomorrow I will so I can get a good workout/run in. I did end up doing 4 runs last week the final one on friday being almost 3 miles. I have about 10 lbs till my prepregnancy weight and 14 to goal weight. seems really far away. Maybe by christmas? that would be great.
Oddly enough for me, I have been craving PROTEIN shakes. I used to make them with the chocolate protein, almonds, milk and ice in college while I trained and they were like a treat. But after a run, that is really what sounds good to me.
This week my goal is to do 4 days again, 2.5-3 miles each time of running plus some walking. Maybe I will start some weights or other training as well.

2 more months

This is how it went.... I woke up tired. I didn't want to move. But I knew that if I didn't go then, I wouldn't go at all (like yesterday). So I got up, passed the kids on to Brian, put on those running shoes and headed out the door. I went and wanted to stop, again I pushed on and was able to run 2.1 miles again. It feels good to be home and not only because of the run but because I was able to shower and get a little freshened up before momma duties called again. So I feel great and that is now 3 days this week - can I get one more day of running in?? I will try for tomorrow cause Saturday just aint happening. But all in all, with walking and running I have clocked in over 7 miles this week.
So here is the 8 miler I will be doing in November, the 27th to be exact. The Dallas turkey trot on Thanksgiving morning. I have 2 months to prepare. I hope that is enough time, well it has to be.

feeling little-er

I took the kids out on the running stroller in the heat. BLAH. And although NAtalie got sick of it after a while I did get 1 mile of a run and 1 mile of a walk in before I had to stop and let Natalie walk and play at the park. Better than nothing!
I feel better today. I feel a change. I know that sounds silly but I do feel a little skinnier. Maybe it is cause I am trying to eat less as well. But of course my weight remains the same.
But right now this feeling of "skinny" wether real or not is motivvating me to go out today again. I want to fit into those jeans and all my other clothes, including my shirts and not have rolls sticking out or over my pants. can you say MUFFIN TOP?? I just hope the weather cools down though or else I might die!

HOLAR!

BOYA!! I Did it. I went out last night - even though I was tired and hungry. I went out and ran for 2.1 miles and then walked another 1 mile home. I am pumped. I can do this!! even just what 4 times a week? I will try for 5/6 one day but getting started I dont want to shoot too high and get frusterated.
Did you do it LIbby? For all I know you arethe only one reading this. I think you really are. But did you run/walk/ do something?
As for today I dont know what I will do. I will try to run although with the kids I do have a jogging stroller but with natalie potty training I dont know if I will try to go out with her. we will see. but BOYA!!!

AGAIN

IS anyone reading this? I dont even care. I need to write. I am fat. I have no confidence. I dont exactly have the motivation to work out. I need it and I want it. So again another week is starting tomorrow and so I am re-telling myself that I will run, or at least go do something active outside/at the gym. what I dont know, hopefully get a little run in there though.
I am still planning on the turkey trot here in November which is an 8k. So that is my goal and I have how long? 2 months to get there. So I have to start or I will not be able to do it.
After that? My friend is doing a triathlon in April and I want in. I miss my little blue(bike) and I miss the water. I miss getting off my bike and getting jello legs and running. I miss loosing control of my swim and getting in last to the transition. I miss it! I love it. So I am doing it. I will probably start with a sprint but if training gets good... maybe another Olympic is in my future. we shall see. But for now I will concentrate on getting out the door.
I invested in a GREAT running stroller. A BOB to be exact and I love it. It moves awesome and I took it out for a stroll with the kids today for an hour and loved it. Now I need to test out those shocks and do some running. Even if it is just a mile right?
ahhhhhh a new week. I WILL DO IT THIS TIME.
