Long Time W/No Blogging = Weight Gain

<p>I can’t believe it’s been almost 3 months since I’ve blogged! But I’ve been a busy girl!!</p> <p>Here is a quick re-cap of my past 3 months!!</p> <ul> <li><i>I got a promotion at work. </i></li> <li><i>Kyle and I are still training for the 1/2 marathon in October.</i> </li> <li><i>Spent lots of time w/friends & family over the summer.</i> </li> <li><i>Worked a lot!</i> </li> <li><i>Gained 12 lbs! Yikes!!</i> </li> <li><em>I turned 25!!!</em> </li> <li><i>Iowa Hawkeye football season started about 3 weeks ago!  (we have season tickets!!)</i> </li> <li><i>Two of my closest friends at work left. :(</i> </li> <li><i>Worked some more…are you seeing a trend here!! In August I worked over 70 hours/week!</i> </li> </ul> <p>Enough of that! All that matters now is that I’m back and ready to kick these lb’s I gained!! Not really liking these tight size 10’s!!</p> <p>Since I’ve been working so much I haven’t been to WW since July. But I hope to go back next week. I hope they haven’t kicked me out…I don’t think you can get kicked out when you’re a lifetime member…or I hope so anyway!!</p> <p>Today is Day 1 (again) for me! </p> <p>Yesterday Kyle and I stocked up at the grocery store on all kinds of good, healthy food! Feels good to have a nicely stocked fridge!! Oh and we also did a long run, our longest yet training for the 1/2 marathon…<strong>10 miles</strong>!! Wow, it was pretty hard, but I had such an accomplished feeling when we got done! </p> <p>I started my day out this morning just like I did so many mornings this last winter and spring! <strong>Oatmea</strong>l with <strong>blueberries</strong> and a <strong>sliced apple</strong> for a total of <strong>4 points</strong>! It was wonderful!! I felt so satisfied! But did forget to snap a picture! I so want to get back into that habit, I know it was a huge part of my success in losing weight!</p> <p>I couldn’t wait for my morning snack! I haven’t had my “morning mush” in a LONG time! I did the same combo of <strong>yogurt</strong>, <strong>1/4 c grape nuts,</strong> and <strong>1 1/2 c strawberries</strong> for a total of <strong>3 delicious points</strong>!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0BjAkHUPkbA1ITdDzpfEEDzRkGNuNOSu3dQuNxEv78ooB9pjzmUfR8I-7xKW3Cd4xebUBQJIVNpTbO6_NyzzFbbJcVvR9SZzO1F7VM0_VGz2BhxQAHAQTmTWUTjPLKIyxGNUpy2k2-fNS/s1600-h/DSC04530%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC04530" border="0" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmt5uPfDTW6x0liTBNPkoL1U8cQuFua4FW1Kf_VCmW-gZVN8L_kJBXwOW-JnY-AFdyyjFVT22OVB9qkPkqJsq6GAphtVmzqQ5N6-BQAVWhyphenhyphenKYROJEQXG3dxhIwZgz-6xiPXB9iRMISoqEn/?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="DSC04530" width="454" /></a></p> <p>  </p> <p>I had a late lunch today, but it was worth it because Kyle happened to be home when I got there! I made a <strong>chicken salad sandwich w/cheese</strong>, had <strong>1/2c cottage cheese</strong>, some <strong>carrot chips</strong>, and <strong>1 c grapes</strong> for a total of <strong>7 points</strong>. </p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="800" border="0"><tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="400"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjizemrh6ZHPRuTkA388xlJNB-Z5J_JI06CHednEKNK0vXNaVWglqHDxvcOda-s4_o-q-WQRb4fjMYCXCAoyYjYF5DLPYBXTQUwy2R2Ow4lVwtQeDfzIJ_31Ijr81XAjyE5aRXqJtFv1ts3/s1600-h/DSC04531%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC04531" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh96jQiRQjYoMGX9_Lc9AVgjv4Bl-ECzpKNDrNYicOhhXSsqR7GQXqvk-RDXqJAx0YnGwXVzRdZod8TEn4kI_S_NUj46YrFU_pb-Sud9z-N8Y5nERmArOWNvPEkbQmll27RrDrsuXqdgvG_/?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="DSC04531" width="404" /></a></td> <td valign="top" width="400"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3BMEO_E43PIpfTBT2joTQnJHqpUVpR6mN0nkxx7M4A1l-IZwjtJGhIgHykRShMg5NiMxWrgOnBEMwJ9E6xmNHMnx1weydnNNo1nVE5AE5neM62JuNtrGGUgNRIGFaY3_zMz_r-PKsVysU/s1600-h/DSC04532%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC04532" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5LHAKvqgk_d4Lx32KNuQ0sIAE7nCjd9JtuE0pibPm0M-pwZM9sQ_L5Hs6JCCm15MBkTU1mKETYVXU98SUGsS_vMUxtOoXeChzMzDr4eUBSGJAoOi3je5rCYgxogC9UFOMasADWuSPifpE/?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="DSC04532" width="404" /></a></td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p> </p> <p>Look what happens everyday after I leave my house from lunch…my cute little puppy jumps up in her chair and watches me drive away!!

But 5 o’clock finally came around and I jetted out of there right away! Kyle was working late so when I got home I got right to work cleaning, organizing, doing laundry, etc!! Feels so good to get some of that stuff done. And I re-organized my closet…I need to take a picture, ‘cause it looks awesome!!</p> <p>It was raining all evening and was dark by the time Kyle got home so we didn’t get a run in today, but I welcomed a day of rest. After running 10 miles on Sunday my legs and hips muscles are SUPER sore!!</p> <p>Since I was a cleaning/organizing fool I didn’t get supper made. So it was easy food! Kyle and I both had cold cereal! I had <strong>3/4 c honey nut cheerios</strong> and a <strong>small sliced banana</strong> for <strong>4 points</strong>. I love this combo!!</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWWfIg7EFiQ8mgUiQbx2CBJaAiYqAZ9ZkqQ19f-AnLIpL0zXp5gzhsYUBEQ8rEtKANvU8NApgw1eEewxUtM60KHQXJvOZbkNxQ11nxcT0WqXIQVL65C9ckbBl1wkafpA9QOSkV_7uzTCPu/s1600-h/DSC04534%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC04534" border="0" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNjYVeXUqvtov-_vK3mE1tLFc1n2O7KNBEcZvGCxA_E_CTy7tH8GcmILDQAAou5KbOBz3VNkOBbTaE3Nv5E96vlW5czxmQHKN68etB2B98jorFpC7cga88Sxa-iKTmx7-fU2GUo6sMztgb/?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="DSC04534" width="504" /></a> </p> <p>Well my first day “back on the wagon” was great!
