Failing miserably

I am failing miserably at the no fast food thing.
But the good news is that I have lost about 3 lbs. Lets just see if I keep it off. I have started going to the gym again, while we have membership. It will expire this month if we don't renew the credit card on the account, and I don't think we will, since Doug will be getting me my incline trainer in about 2 weeks. Between that and the weights I already have, I am not missing much at the gym except for no kids, and it is so hard to actually get AWAY to go to the gym, this will be far beneficial.
I found out that while most of the treadmills in my gym only have a 7% incline, the two closest to the door go up to 15%. I have had the best time hiking up them. It is a better workout to me. This is why I am looking forward to the incline trainer.

Well I f#cked that all up.

Forgot it was February. Dammit.

Challenging myself for February

I was reading Runs for Cookies (link on the side) and there, the owner is doing a February challenge to herself to only eat real food. Well I know I cannot accomplish that, but I am feeling somewhat inspired. I think for the month of February, I will avoid the drive thru. This means no Sonic, no McDonalds, etc. The only exception I will make is a drink, and it MUST be unsweet tea only. (not like that is a problem, I don't drink sweet tea)
I think I will feel better over all if I can do it, and after all, February is a short month. :)
This does ONLY apply to drive thru, because if hubby and I have a chance to go to a sit down dinner, I am taking it!!

Weight gain, eating and skipping

I had the greatest breakfast. It was a smoothie made of ice, low fat pina colada yogurt, pineapple, bananas and an avocado with some pineapple orange juice. It was pretty tasty. I think I will add some fresh carrot juice to the next one I make. That will add some veggies to it.

My weight is up. New all time high. I don't feel like I have been eating more than normal, so I don't know what to blame other than no exercise. Some days I feel like I am fighting a losing battle.

My foot hurts worse. I still think I have a stress fracture. No doubt it is from my weight. The other ankle kills, too.

I tried to teach Amelia to skip. I couldn't do it. I couldn't seem to hop... at all. :(

Pity party. I know I need to just change the way I do things, but I am not, and I should be.

Nice long weekend

Bad decision. Bad Decision. BAD DECISION!!!!
LOL
This weekend, we had Amelia's birthday party. I proceeded to make myself sick on food. By 10 am I had eaten my weight in sandwiches, I had 3 cupcakes, and 2 pieces of pizza. I had a ton of food while watching the game yesterday- and I have already had a big breakfast today, though in my defense, in my eggs are mushrooms and spinach.

GAH. On to better days. Headed back to Beaumont in a bit. The van threw a CEL yesterday so I have to get Doug to his car which is at my moms, and then get the spark plugs replaced in the van tomorrow. Good times.

Birthday Parties

I went to my moms yesterday to get ready for Amelia's 4th birthday party today. This means I spent the day baking cupcakes, which means I was not hungry at all by the end of the day. If I cook a lot, I find that all food grosses me out and I never want to eat.

This morning I have finished icing the cupcakes- blue icing on chocolate and vanilla cakes with Toy Story Squeaky sprinkles. :) I had a lick of icing, but I didn't want any more. That said, I was starving from not eating dinner last night, and I DID devour a pastrami and turkey sandwich loaded with pepperjack cheese. In my defense, I don't anticipate getting much of a chance to eat today, so it is okay I think.
I am so tired and it is going to be such a long, but fun day.

Friday Weigh-In

Well, yesterday finished out okay. For dinner we had a pasta that was essentially the exact same as my pizza, except on noodles instead- garden rotini actually.
I did have a nice dessert- a milkshake- but it was 3 small scoops of ice cream and 2% milk, and only filled a smaller solo cup.

So Friday is my weigh in day. And today was... drumroll please......


204.4

It's a start.

I am a little upset. I was so proud of getting out and running yesterday, and then hubby laughed at how long it took me to run a mile. I am sorry if I cannot run a 7 minute mile like he can... I NEVER could run a mile that fast, and I never will be able to run a mile that fast. (I'd settle for anything under 10) But aside from once or two short bursts on the treadmill, I have not run in a LONG time. It took a lot for me to get off my ass and do it, but I did!! And he laughed.
