Lame....

"ITS WORKING"

Lost More weight this week and I really wasn't thinking  I would- so go Heidi go....... I am on week 4 and down 6.5 pounds pretty proud of myself. They say when it comes of slow it usually stays off, and that's the plan. If you count the total amount of weight taken off since last year that would be almost 37 pounds I couldn't be happier. Does anyone know how to put a tool bar thingy that would show my weight loss to date?????

Sprints!

What a great day this is going to be! I had the best workout this Morning. Did I ever mention that I love running? ok maybe not while I am doing it but completely love how I feel after. This morning I went for my Tuesday run and we decided to jog then sprint it was so rad. The first thought that came to my mind before the sprint was oh my Heck I hope these ladies know C.P.R. cause I might be needed some, we took of running and to my surprise I could do it, and do it fast, no passing out no barfing no crying (hee-hee) a bit out of breath " but I did it".  I am kinda looking forward to Thursday's run. This week is sure off to a good exercizing kind of week (yippy) tomorrow is my second weigh in- I hope for good things and yet I  am aware of the progress I have made in the past 2 weeks with my Journey.

4lbs down this week!

I have busted my butt this week and am so proud of me! I was struggling and so have decided to recommit myself this past week, My goal is to lose 60 pounds and I am down 4 which means I only have 56 pounds to go yippee! I feel like this is workable and yet a bit scary for me- A goal isn't a goal until you write it down and so here we go........ "GO ME"

Sparkpeople.com

I have found the best website ever! a few years ago I dabbled a bit on this site- but today I jumped back on it and love it! If you are looking for a place to record your calories, food intake, exercise log, recipes, ideas on nutrition,or simply a support system this is for you. My very favorite thing about this site is ...  Its reward system, yes I said reward system. I know, I am not 5 but who doesn't love a reward? you get these little trophies every time you earn a certain amount of points, its so cool.   So that's my hot tip for the day. I love this site its simply the best.

I did it !

It happened I finally lost a few more pounds and got where I have been hoping to be. I am so proud of me today (go Heidi)  I feel like my journey is off to a great start, funny how a day can make you feel better. I even took my kids to the movies today and brought along my own snacks-almonds,string cheese and wheat thins. This is a great day !

Pictures.... can make your day or break your day (hee-hee)

While at church today my friend hands me a picture of us at the pool last week" OH MY" is all I gotta say! so in like .2 seconds my body image of myself goes from like 6 to a dead zero! Ugh I am not a hater but this was a hater moment for sure. After about two hours of thinking Holy Cow (stress on the word cow) I thought listen here Hi-d Ho you better get happy in the same pants you just got sad in cause you are down like 25-30 lbs from this time last year. So to any of you out there reading this.... there should be a law against cameras at the pool!

Food why does it have to be about food.

Do you sometimes wish you  you could  pick one thing? Like food or exercise! I do why is it that you have to do both? I constantly struggle with this, who made up that rule anyway (hee-hee) I get so dang proud
of myself  for kicking butt in the workout department and yet haven't found away to sync the 2 together for more them like 24 hours. So Here we go I am making some changes I am not sure what yet but I am, after all my journey has just begun!

Got up when I wanted to stay down!

woke up this morning at 4:45 - when all I wanted to do was go back to sleep. I love water aerobics and have really missed going the past few months. I love the way your body gets a total workout and so have re dedicated myself to at least 3 classes a week ( go me) so glad I did had tons of cake and ice cream tonight for my b-day. Well that all happy Monday!

I beat my time!

I did it............ I beat my time today! Today was my second 5k one year ago my friend and I ran our first 5k (OK walked and ran), But we did it. The whole point being was to actually cross over a finish line, to finish something I started. One year later we set out to do this again, 1 day before the race my friend injured her leg and was devastated that she couldn't run, not to mention so was I. So today while starting the race and watching my 2 awesome boys running ahead of me I began to get emotional-having thoughts like  you'll never make your goal, or this is so hard and lonely etc etc etc. I kept watching this girl a bit in front of me and kept thinking stay up with her, just catch up to her. I finally reached her and that's all it took, I made an instant friend she pushed me through it we ran we walked and yes I even cried, but the best part was I finished what I started and the cherry on top was "I beat my time by 2 minutes". The lesson I learned today was this......  people are put in your path for a reason, sometimes forever and sometimes  just a season  (or in my cause a run)  Thank you Sam, and R.W. I missed you.
