Back at it!!!

First of all, THANK YOU so much for all your encouraging comments from my <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/07/8-weeks.html">post earlier today</a>! You guys are seriously the BEST!I think the thing that helps the most is knowing that I'm not the only one out there going through this! Monday night I was a good girl and got my gym bag ready. When the alarm went off at 5:30 this morning I hopped out of bed and hit the gym!! I got in 30 minutes on the cross ramp while watching Boy Meets World...I used to love that show! ;) After cardio I finished up my workout with a few weights. Felt so good to be back in the gym. I headed to my office and whipped up some oatmeal. I mixed in 1T of peanut butter and sliced a banana for a total of 5 points.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZGkVb06dKG8_30dUMy1strOiTHuAmX9PDcb4DmN-9NkgD4u9IirIrT3U5sBzqPveCBvwpKLa5O9nVUvt79kEQOonKs2RQV_WxzT5kBlBsAVghS1AspwFMtbCleH2kNiFMhKs7r2-fa0EI/s1600-h/DSC07801%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07801" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqjCOYd53P-VlG-pfYYWipohXbqPBPZQ8TxEBAYzXZ0mvH0Dg_NoeWKnuTurGsXSILyAm_-ZaOqXEARGsrMXbLiOv11WFK5PMMJrRNRQrlkqrnjWsEE9hirgYq9_imY79q9frUbE06X3Vr/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC07801" width="404" /></a> Mid morning I snacked on 1 c of fresh pineapple for 1 point. I always thought strawberries were my favorite fruit, but I think pineapple is right up there!! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieXNrU9bQPWABcHP41UyxWDF-z3fg-fkr6TbN-DmeRiYYGOnLbzkDhyRCt9BNX0qot0pkvg1IsBmcZ-6wrthpRniYyFt9moKr0wwqu_UAT5Ighht1su_Tvd1zMve40CqN3MmCQZlZBEHuI/s1600-h/DSC07802%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07802" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0WXy0PJ4oWj1mVWBSrhKPJ3uOA6e_9VojnXXbMHUJ_iUrJMYXjlyHSio-z-l-qJgJe9pK_WoWYCZ0MPSefL0xl9vo8nKZu_8bSK-7xqjEY8VQL2b_RQMyCgjl0CAMEveqKEzBPOFtbZIn/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC07802" width="404" /></a> Lunch today was at my desk because I had a full afternoon of meetings & presentations.

These 20lbs don’t stand a chance! We just went 2 miles, but I felt like we ran 5, I was super sweaty and my legs were toast!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyR_8zvkK0-FmmaoFSE99ABkJGc9x7bZ794yDqIydGS9Qm5Bz9asoB7fIJTFcXvQK4Me3AwBwIWJBhBvw4ROrEO7baYNlYWesjtLBtGP8djuS6JaKW42tkIsSuIpYPYNbLZuhgIAFekVqu/s1600-h/DSC07809%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07809" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFEAfS5OATpYCxW5BohIpjKhIlKGyuCa2CzEJyTC0fnKfDq9BudpSv3towfgSx9cAd5WlBSFpnX-PqSCEAyOp_b4VD3nTNzBnO9DQfTmA7C1HdNhCBWqaMlMl14lOSagub3s7hsZ2xOBA8/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC07809" width="404" /></a> After our short, but sweaty workout we made a quick supper together. Kyle grilled the chicken and I got the sides ready. My plate consisted of 3oz chicken breast, 1 T bbq sauce, 1 c watermelon, 1/2 c cottage cheese, and 1 c green beans for a total of 6 points. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhovxYXTIbwi6w7cnfSIL1HxRStwtIUt-b-ZpPQ1NaiGr3srGD7dQM0C1xakmOo9ZUrVO-oQ2m9jQcN8QCff13SMz8BTg6IXNT0XJfIEA5oqumz07ILGxKf9YRDc5bc3bdcoEEWxFSgxyTt/s1600-h/DSC07810%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07810" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3BGEqh1W89G8BP385GGBc93k3nQPNP7sCyUZiU7h6Pm4NwpMsk8uWwJgtwjKDav3dNxtG2LrOCSats2wa3zTiebzspi16_-HDHKx5ImX9ewaSz3OKH_POqXZVgoPTT0fNl4TGLpxNtxUB/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC07810" width="404" /></a> I’m off to address baby shower invites for a very special Mom-to-be!!

8 weeks!

Hello everyone! I'm still around!! Life has been CRAZY, to say the least. There are so many things going on right now and in the midst of it all I let my running & eating go by the way-side. Bad, I know! Here are a few confessions, I need to get this off my chest! 1. I've eaten whatever was most convenient, not the most healthy. 2. I haven't been tracking my food. 3. I can count on 1 hand how many times I worked out in June. 4. My clothes are too tight. 5. I don't feel comfortable in my own skin. I can't continue on this path. I have to find a happy medium. I don't not want my weight & health to be a roller coaster for the rest of my life. So I'm going to make a change *once again* before it gets too bad. I wish there was a way to bottle up that determination I have at times to save for days where I have the "I just don't care" attitude". I was thinking about my weight and this horrible roller coaster I keep getting on and I have decided I need to get 100% serious about it. It is 8 weeks until my 26th birthday and I would love to be under 160lbs by then! I think that would be the best gift of all! I know hitting goal [150lbs] by then is not possible, but I think I could really buckle down and lose some major lbs in 8 weeks. I guess it would be helpful if you knew how much I had to lose, huh! I weighed in this morning at 179.5. To be honest I was SO glad that it didn't say 180 or higher! So here's to the next 8 weeks and losing 20 lbs! I know it's a lofty goal...but I think it's more than possible! Wish me luck!

8 weeks!

Back at it!!!
