New Shoes - reward for hard work

1/28/2013 - 2/3/2013

Swimming - 1
Biking - 2
Running - 2
Strength Training - 2
Weekly weight loss - 0
Total weight loss - 31.5

This was an ok week, missed a few sessions but not fretting.  It was another no weight loss week for me but this has become typical for me - I lose some weight then don't lose for a couple weeks but still no worries your body needs time to adjust to all the changes.  I'm still very happy with my results to this point.

This was my 20th week of my weight loss commitment and being down 31.5 lbs is awesome!

Today marks 7 months since I made a drastic change to regain control of my life!

Today marks 5 year 11 month anniversary that we decided to stop smoking (3/3/2007)!

Tuesday marks 7 months since I had my back surgery!

Everyone needs rewards for hard work.  I use to reward myself with food, well that isn't very healthy and totally messes up the weight loss plan so yesterday we rewarded ourselves with new running shoes.  These are my new babies - Asics Kayano's.  Wish I could have gotten some hot pink bungee laces to match the pink on the shoes. So excited to wear them for my next run on Tuesday!



So many positive changes in our lives!  I'm blessed to have the most wonderful man in my life that has supported me so much over the years - the good, the bad and the very ugly.  I'm so happy with where our new life is taking us.  I only wish that everyone in the world could be as happy as I am right now!

A week of crazy but still good miles

Week of 8/27/2012 - 9/2/20212 Exercise Walking - 0 General Walking - 27.95 miles Stationary Bike - 0 Weight loss - ?? I was a bit shocked that when I was finally able to look at my miles that I actually had 27.95 miles.  That is not a great week but considering that since Tuesday, August 28th we have been staying in a hotel and were driving from Maryland to Texas from August 29th - September 1st, I'm pretty happy with that. As I wrote in the last update, I knew it would be tough to get some exercise in last week and it was.  I decided that this was an adventure and a great opportunity to spend time with the hubby and I was going to enjoy our trip and worry about diet and exercise when we got to Texas and got settled in. The only bad thing that happened on our trip is that my fitbit , may be on its last leg.  I dropped the fitbit early last week and cracked the case and when I say cracked I can see the inside of the device.  Then towards the...

Goals

I knew I was goal oriented but didn't know that meant I always had to be living by some sort of plan. Anyone reading sees that I have been off my game and have turned into a big slacker.  This has happened before.  I have lost weight in the past and come close to achieving my goal and then started slacking and end up right back where I started, or worse and then it's an uphill climb.  I'm not disciplined, yet, to live a healthy life without having some sort of goal and plan for achieving that goal. So I have established 2 goals for the remainder of the year: 1.  Get to my goal weight - I achieved my original goal weight but then set a new goal and sadly I have gone over my original goal weight.  So I have 20 lbs to lose! 2.  Figure out my 2014 triathlon schedule - I was so proud of myself for finally completing an Olympic distance triathlon and I have always said that I wanted to go for the further distances.  I have set a goal of December 1 to ...

Making my own decisions

It's now been 6 weeks of steady exercise, including sticking to the routine while on travel to India.  My eating habits have wandered a bit but I know what I need to do. Recently I have decided that I'm going to live the life I want and not what everyone else wants.  All my life I have been ruled by someone else making decisions, telling me what to do or wanting to make the right decisions to please everyone else but not really doing what I want. I realized the 1st time I made a decision / choice for myself  was when I met my now husband and decided to marry him; 22 years later it still is the best decision I made.  He has always supported me; which is something that is unusual for me an it's taken me awhile to realize this.  I've always played life safe rather than risking and following my dreams/desires. Triathlon was my 2nd decision, by me and for me.  I have neglected those desires because of work pressures.  I realize that my current job wil...
