nice hot weekend--

wow, its been AWESOME...much looking forward to the extra bonus day off on July 1st.... Went to my familys cabin on the lake for a Kareokee and suntanning extravaganza....it was a blast, didn't eat on track very well- but I spent some great time with family and friends and it was much needed.... I spent some time reflectingo n ym weightloss while there and the pictures reinforced some of the things I've been thinking....I've posted on my "who is" blog some pics taht show myself that I really do need to continue- I'm not a cute as I sometimes let myself think...
I get a little cocky

but in anycase...its on to another week- I'm up about 5 pds on the scale this afternoon...but some fibre, water and veggies should get me back on track...my legs are soo sunburnt that I can't barely walk as when the skin moves/jiggles etc it HURTS...so no run for me tonight, however I'm sweating just sitting in my house

40 pds DOWN.... woo woo....

Today was a great day....well almost... but I totally overted the wedding weight gain and managed to lose 0.8 to be down 40.2 .....

SO I'm focused, I'm ready to take on the rest of the summer, do some more races, to be fit, to eat healthy and lose 10 pds this summer...

as you can see my next focus isn't to loose hit 50pds lost...its to loose 10 pds this summer.....

that sounds attainable doesnt it??

this weekend I'm heading to the lake for some R&R, Kareokee and a couple jello shooters... should be fun...I didn't go running tonight but plan to get in one before I leave for the lake...and atleast 2 more before next WI...

also I got the WW newsletter this month and I saw the success story-- Christina-she rocks... her story is SO similar to mine that I wish I could find out more about her journey... reading her story gives me hope :) seeing her before pic-reminds me of my before pic (except mine is MUCH WORSE-like 30pds) ..and inspires me for a great after pic like hers

hears to Christina!! CHEERS

Recovering from a Wedding Weekend...

Wow- you'de think after about 40 weeks on WW I would have learned how to conduct myself at a wedding buffet...but NO....I didn't and I PIGGED out....and PIGGED out... not just at the wedding Saturday night- but on friday night at the bridal shower as well grrrr Ifelt sooooo sick/bloated/sad/disappointed with myself all day sunday...and when I tried to eat just healthy things on sunday I felt like my body was going through withdrawls and I sabatoged myself some more....when I weighed myself sunday night I was up 7 pds....

in anycase I drakn like 3 L of water, ate responsibly and played 13holes of golf and did my walk/jog routine for 42 mins.... Today will be another responsible eating day and hopefully some more exercise if my body can handle it-- I'm sore this AM...usually i only play 9 holes- but it was twilight and you pay one price and can play as many as you like.... I was soo close to the 40pd lost that now I"m really quite disappointed in myself for letting myself act like such a hog

in good news- I received quite a few compliments from family members as to how much I've lost- so that was an up- but not enough to keep me from strappin on the feed bag and going to town....grrr

anyways- new day, new week, new motivation......

good week for me...

wednesday update---- down 2.2 so I'm like 0.4 AWAY FROM 40 lost....I'll get it next week woo woo, in other news I went out for session 1 of week 6 of my running program and was almost able to complete in its entirty- it was run 5 mins walk 1 min 7 times...most of the run segmants I had to stop at like 4:30 or 4:45 there was probably like 3 that I made the whole time...it really depends on what type of road/trail/hill I'm on as to how easy/hard it is.... but its was good...now the other 2 sessions this week are just run 3 mins walk 1 min...so its nice they start the week of hard and then easier...

all good

got to go golfing last night with the guys from work-- I"m slightly out numbered eh?

But it frustereates me to see myself in pictures sometimes..still...I should have readied myself better- pulled my shirts down, push my hat back, tilted my chin out....but I didnt and thats WHO i am....ohwell- I'll look better next time :)

I DID IT....

I broke my goal... I figured I could do it in 45mins...so that was my goal...and I did... I secretly had hoped I could finish in 35...but hey- something to strive for :) my pace increased per km approx 45secods which was really good... so I'm pumped, excited and loving life :)

I can see clearly now....

the rain is gone.... wooo wooo in the words of bob marley its going to be bright sun-shiny day!!!

Looking very much forward to my RUN TONIGHT.... 5k here i come...since I know I won't be able torun the entire thing...my run on my "program" is supposed to be run 3 mins walk 1 minute....so that is the strategy I will use to get through the race...

my goals is to complete in 40mins...with pace from the 8k I should be able to do in 45..and I'd like to thing that my pace will have improved since then so I'd REALLY like to complete in 35-40mins...but we'll see...

WI was god this week...nothing to exciting- it was just in the proper direction :)

have a super one- i'll post this weekend

INSPIRATION personified

This lady is FABULOUS...

The PastaQueen lost 192 pounds...on her own. No program or anything. She just got healthy. She has an amazing blog. She's written a new book about her weight loss called Half Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir and is having a contest to give it and some other cool stuff away.

WOOWOO I love success stories, maybe one day I'll be one to :)

Run 3 mins, walk 1 9times...

was dreading it all day- went grocery shopping- to the driving range and hit 22 golf balls (2 of which made it past the 160yard mark woo woo) then came home cooked the hubby dinner and his favorite peanut butter cookies- which I don't like :) so not tempting...

then went out for my jog.walk...it was tiring and hard- there was 2 intervals that my legs were cramped soo bad I stop running 15 -25 seconds early but for the most part I DID IT....

playing golf with the work guys tomorrow nigth and with the construction buddies on wednesday... its going to be a gooood weekkk.

hope yours is to!

signed up for 5km on Friday

hey there hi there..
weekend and last week was a little slow- recovering from birthday festivities....gained 3 pds after the previous weeks 4 pd loss... al ittle frustereating but seems to be my pattern- I loose...then gain cuz I get cocky...so then I was trying better thsi week but then got sidetracke...so today , tomorrow and tuesday and wednesday will be back on track..going grocery shopping, going running with the doggie- doing laundry and cleaning the house...

the 5km is the "Longest Day 5k" not sure why its called that- but its a fundraiser for juvenille diabetes... so should be good- it has the race timing chip so I can get an accurate pace timing to see my improvement over the 8k in May...

looking forward to an active summer- if this frekin weather will clear up...

Talk to you later
