Desperate times...

call for desperate measures! Yep, running in the rain it was. It was cold and wet but that's what I deserve since I haven't stopped eating since my birthday!!!
I'm stressing about the J & J coming up this weekend. I hope we can make some money. And I hope I can stop stress eating over it!!! Craziness, I tell you.
I did OK with food today, except for that one cookie. Oh and the pita chips. Damn it!!
Need to get back on track, pronto!

A year older...

and 2 pounds heavier! Not a good trend. I will have to work on that. However, I'm not sure what I expected since my birthday seemed to last for 4 days straight :)
There were runs on Mon, Tues, today and tomorrow. That should help.
Need to get back into the eating-well-groove....

Gift from the scale!

Yep it was kind enough to not forget my birthday and it GAVE me 0.6lbs. What a wonderful scale I have...
Oh well. I had a fun b-day yesterday that probably gave me even more that 0.6lbs. We'll see if I can rein myself back into the routine again this week. If not, hey...you only turn 30 once...THANK GOD!!!

Does *mostly* good count?

We'll see tomorrow if the pizza slip up has ruined my good week. 3 runs in, 3 DVD workouts, and some fairly decent food intake should = loss. I'd even be happy staying where I am. So we'll see what the scale decides to give me for my big 3-0! SCARY. I'm ready to move on from it already and it hasn't even happened!! Good news - signed up for the half marathon in October so there's no turning back now! My 30th year will be an action packed one!
Happy April 17th to everyone!! I'm willing to share my day!

It doesn't make sense!

Why do I want to eat during the Biggest Loser??? Shouldn't I be motivated to NOT eat or do some crunches or something? One would think so! Anyway, I'm resisting the urge for now...
Unfortunately, I have succumbed to peer pressure today. We ordered pizza for lunch at work today. I CANNOT say no to pizza. My ultimate weakness. Anyway, it was good and it was MY choice. I went for a run after work and had a light dinner (hmm, maybe that explains the snackiness right now?). Run scheduled for tomorrow as well. Then Thursday is a free for all!!!

Pat on the back...

After FINALLY feeling back to normal on Saturday (goodbye 4 days of feeling like I could vomit at any given moment) - I got in some activity!!! I called my cousin on Saturday to see if she was up for some sort of DVD workout. She wanted to do the Billy Blanks Ultimate Bootcamp. Following 25min. of hardcore abs, we realized that she had put in Ultimate Abs instead of the bootcamp. So off goes that and onto 60min. of bootcamp.
Then today, after feeling like I'd been punched in the stomach repeatedly, we did a 40min cardio workout to try and loosen up. Wouldn't you know, later in the day, my running partner called. So off we go for our 4K run this afternoon.
My eating has been fairly on track as well which is quite unusual for a weekend!!
Now I just have to continue this into the week. Here's hoping!!!

It's a loss

I'm down a pound. Probably something to do with the nauseous feeling that I can't seem to get rid of. Hello Gravol, my new best friend. It should also have a little to do with the excercise I managed to get in despite the yucky cold and stomach issues.
I will try and be back on and some point this weekend. We'll see how it goes!
Happy Friday to all.

Life is crazy

So sorry I've been majorly absent this week. I can't seem to catch up. I've been sick since my last post with a cold and then been extremely nauseous the last couple days...weird. On top of that, we were busy with taxes, family, booking a wedding officiant (YAY), and stressing about J's mom going for bypass surgery. Yikes. Surgery was today and she is "stable". I guess that's as good as you can expect for now. We'll hear more tomorrow. I've already booked off on a sick day tomorrow and have taken a vacation day for Friday. Here's hoping that will help.
WW wise - who the heck knows!! I've done 2 runs and the Cardio Max BL DVD (yes, I finally spotted it at Costco). Eating has been strange as I've been eating what I think will stay down the last few days. So we'll see.
Good luck to you tomorrow Jen and have fun at cake decorating class!!!

WW week in review

4/7 completely OP days
2 runs (both 4 km)
2 days spent refusing cookies
Outcome: down 0.6 lbs "officially". If we take into account the fact that I didn't weigh in last week due to a terrible WW week then it would look better than it is :) I'm still quite thrilled. And I've started the new week off well - another 4km tonight!

Also, let it be known, I am having chocolate milk, twizzlers and bits and bites for SNACK night! Not all at the same time though!!!

Following the plan...

Things have gone as planned today except for the possibility of another run today. It didn't happen. I went shopping with my cousin after work to look for an outfit for her for their shower this weekend. I ended up buying $4.89 pj bottoms. LOVE my pj's!!! Got home later than expected so no go on the run.
Food today:
B - ww bagel with ff cream cheese (3)
L - costco french onion soup (4), pineapple yogurt (1), strawberries (0.5)
S - cravings cheesecake (1), 4 melba with salsa (1)
