WW- Week 5...Slowly by surely...


WW Week 5
Weigh-in: -2.4 lbs
Total Loss: -6.6 lbs

Yahoooo! I love weeks when I lose! Especially when one comes a week after I gained. On Saturday , Mike and I took a wonderful run in Forest Park with our great friends, Peter and Kate. Mike and Peter ran 7 miles (Mike's longest and fastest run ever). Kate and I did run/walk intervals and ended up running 3.5 miles total with probably another mile of walking. I really liked running in the park and I would like to do it more often when it starts warming up!

Unfortunately, we ate Mexican TWICE this weekend and I have a feeling it is going to impact this weeks weight loss. We shall see...

Updates!

I seriously need to get better about this blogging thing. Thanks to those of you that are still reading and commenting. I promise, once I get through this semester, I know I will be better about updating.

This week is conference week, which is usually the worst time of the year. I feel like I am a crazy lady all of the time. I am busy at work, taking my final 2 masters classes, and my calendar looks like a mess. I just need some time to myself to relax and I honestly know that it won't happen until after school is out and I have graduated.

I am just looking forward to this... I can do it!

WW Week 4
Weigh-in: +0.8 lbs
Total Loss: -4.2 lbs

Whoops! I guess that is what I get after over-indulging BIG TIME over the weekend while celebrating Mardi Gras and Valentine's Day. Oh well! It was worth it! This week will be another rough one because I am super stressed and busy, which really makes it hard for me to work out. I ran 4 miles for the first time and I am hoping to be at 5 miles next week. Only time will tell! I weigh in this Thursday for week #5 so let's hope for a big minus.

AND THANK YOU so much for commenting on my post about donating to Haiti. I got 46 comments and decided that 50 cents per comment just wasn't enough. I definitely didn't want to donate only $23. Instead, I donated $2 per comment plus $8 and gave a total of $100! What a fun way to donate!

Finally...our roof is having more problems. We noticed a spot on our ceiling in our room months ago. Well...long story short, we need to do some more patching up and put another $700 into the roof. Uck....the joys of being a home owner.

Just noticed that it is 9:30...bed time. What have I become?

WW-Week 3

Week 3
Weigh-in: -2.4 lbs
Total Loss: -5.0 lbs

Yahooooooo! So happy about my loss this week. Although I drank a ton in Columbia last week (I still need to blog about that!) and ate El Rancho at 1:30 am, I still lost. I ran 3 times last week and swam 3 times. I just hope I can do it all again this week with Mardi Gras and Valentine's Day around the corner!

Google Reader people...come out and check out the new layout. I wanted to post bigger pictures while still holding onto the labels and links on the right side. Mike also made me a new header to change things up!

Finally, if you haven't commented on THIS POST, please do it. I will be making my donation next week!

Ohhh...one more thing. As I am adjusting the colors on my new blog layout, I can't figure out how to change the color of the links within my posts. See the link above...I don't like the light brown color. Does anyone know what it is called so I can change it! Thanks :)

My new workout

This...Plus this...
Plus this....EQUALS...My new favorite workout!!!! I am still running and training for my 6 mile relay for the Go St. Louis but thought this would be a run way to switch things up on my non-running days. It is hard!!! I was never on a swim team growing up so I am just winging it right now. I can't go to fast or for too long without stopping to catch my breath but this is an awesome workout! Any swimmers out there? (I am hoping this also helps with my weigh-in on Thursday.)

I want these, please!

The current rain/snow shower is getting me thinking of a perfect pair of Hunter boots. I am leaning toward the red pair (my favorite color)...But I am also loving this dark purple color...With so many colors to choose from, I'm not really sure which one to pick!Endless.com can get them here by Monday. Hummm...what to do????

EDIT: I just found out that Target has a pair of red knock-offs for only $20. These definitely beat the Hunter's $115 price tag. Do I need the real things?

Weight Watchers- Weeks 1 and 2

We have been doing Weight Watchers at work and our group of 15 people has already lost over 80 pounds total!

Week 1 went really well and I thought I was going to see a big weight loss on the scale. I told Mike that I would be happy as long as I had lost something. I got on the scale and only lost 1 pound. I'm not going to lie...I was mad. But, I continued to track all of my points and go the gym. I am currently up to running 2.5 miles. I am going to give 3 miles a shot on Saturday.

Last night, I made a recipe our of the Weight Watcher's book they give us each week. This picture is from the WW website but mine looked just as beautiful! It was DELICIOUS! You should definitely give this recipe a shot. Mike loved it too!!!

Today was weigh-in #2. Although I wanted more than 1 pound, I knew that any loss was what I needed. This week's loss was 1.6 lbs! YAYYYYYYY! If I lose a pound each week, I will lose 13 pounds by the end of this. Let's hope the losing streak can continue.

I am finding the weekends are really hard for me and not only for the food but the beverages. This weekend, we are going up to Columbia for a lush and chow-fest and I can't wait. Not sure how I am going to count points yet. Oh well! We will see!

I'll start posting my stats here too:
Week 1
Weigh-in: -1 lb
Total Loss: -1 lb

Week 2
Weigh-in: -1.6 lbs
Total Loss: -2.6 lbs

Happy Friday!!!
