Good grief I'm a terrible blogger

Well, here I am....one year and a half later, now 40 and still fat.  :)
Okay, that's not exactly true, but I did not reach my goal. And that makes me mad. I'm mad at the fact that my foot had to go and throw a wrench into the whole system. I'm mad at my defeatist attitude because of my foot, and how I let it basically throw me off.  But! I do think I mentioned that I have a long standing reputation for starting things and Never seeing it through.....like my weight!

Oh, I digress.....today is a new day. I'm 40, still not the weight I want to be ( actually heavier now).
I've been prodded my a friend to start this again....technically the only person who reads this. :)

So here I am, trying it again. I've had two bouts of shots in my foot so at the moment I'm feeling good. But if I start having issues, I know what to do to overcome the pain ( hopefully).

I'm on day four of writing down my food intake and on day three of my goofy work out plan. I'm doing a thirty day challenge for my abs, for my arms and my butt. :) I've been walking roughly two miles a day so we will see how this goes! I am going to just see what happens......

I should change the blog name to 50 by 50..... Probably more realistic now ;)

Til the next time!

Yea, I know...its Wednesday

My uncle died Monday night. :( Very sad. He'd been battling throat cancer and sadly it won. It really made me not want to do anything Tuesday morning other than mope, but I decided that was a terrible reason not to move. So I almost ran a whole three miles, got a bit choked up at the end but stuck with it and did the Tuesday killer workout too.

Seriously, it was only a day...but i couldn't tell you what i ate. Really scares me sometimes. Sigh.

Today it was a rain day so that made today my Rest day!!! WEEEEEEEE. I did nothing which was a great thing because my calves and knees were hurting last night. Should be good to run tomorrow. :)

Breakfast:2 waffles and coffee

Snack: banana strawberry smoothie

Lunch: yummy bean, tomato, cheese quesadilla (i love these)

Snack:....forgot :)

Dinner: chicken salad sandwich (thanks Lynn) and a salad, and one small piece of eggplant parmesan (i made it for dinner but had no one to eat it with, so i didn't eat it)

Water throughout the day

Well, i'm off to study some more....will be doing handstands when i pass this flippin' test!

Ooops, again :)

Oh well, maybe one day I'll be on the ball again! Its Monday, and I haven't blogged in a few days....long story short, I lost another lb so I'm now below the 180s! (insert canned applause here)

I haven't been below that in quite a while so woo hoo!

Today, I decided to step up the working out and added 2 more miles. I walked one, ran two then walked the last. My knees are a bit mad at me at the moment but I needed to increase, and i'll be walking those two new miles for the whole week, and next week I'll slowly start running some of it. Thats my goal.....

Today was going well.....until I got in front of food....

Breakfast:2 waffles with butter, coffee (I was saying no way to oatmeal today)

Snack: half of banana strawberry yogurt smoothie

Lunch: Salad with a pinch of cheese, 1/8 cup craisins, drizzle of ranch dressing and romaine lettuce, and 1/2 quesadilla with a pinch of cheese, black beans and green peppers on whole wheat tortilla

Snack: the rest of the smoothie.....

Then it got out of hand

2 bites of cold mac and cheese, 4 bites of cold pizza, then I calmed down...

salad like lunch, with a stuffed 1/2 zucchini (stuffed with zucchini, beans a touch of plain yogurt, some spices and a sprinkle of cheese)

Its sad to realize hormones were taking over after the fact.....Gotta love being a girl. This week is going to be hard because I'm going to be hungry.

Peace out!

Catching up

Sheesh, I keep forgetting to post at night....I have been busy studying at night...but its not really a good excuse. So! Saturday I walked/ran 2 miles, and did the Saturday's workout (ouch), can't remember the food to write it down...but I behaved....Sunday I weighed in and I've lost 6lbs so far! Weee! :) Walked/ran 2 miles and of course can't remember the food to write it down but I behaved...and we got snow on Sunday! They were only calling for 1-3 inches by the end of the forcasting.....AND of course they were wrong. :) 8 inches! I have very happy children. :)

Monday I decided not to work out because there was snow. And I couldn't really go out. Instead we took the kids sledding. And of course I can't think of the food, but I know I behaved.

Tuesday....we still had snow and they delayed school for my daughter which then meant my son had no school....I was going to just do nothing but I felt like that wasn't a good reason for not exercising. I pulled out my WII fit plus game, fired up the free run and jogged in place, ran around the room...essentially looking like an idiot for over 2 miles. Then I did the Monday workout because I was completing not thinking. (Doesn't matter, they all suck) But I worked out and was happy about it. :)

Breakfast:oatmeal with banana and walnuts, coffee

Lunch: black bean, onion, water chestnut and cheddar cheese quesadilla and iced tea

Snack: banana p.b. smoothie

Dinner: pork chop, potatoes, green beans, mushrooms...I through half of it away...I wasn't really feeling it...water

So today! I ran almost the whole two miles! I stopped after 4 songs...which is roughly 1 1/2 miles and walked for half a song then said, screw it.....and ran the rest. I will probably be sore tomorrow but I felt pretty good doing it and I didn't have any problems breathing. That was huge. I remember when I started walking the two miles and added running for one song, I could barely make it through the song without feeling like I was going to have an asthma attack. Now I'm was winded by the end but not feeling like an attack was coming! That's good progress!

And I did the Wednesday workout. I really hate the jumping jacks....I'm just saying...:)

I will post tonight (hopefully) about my meals :)

They Might Be Giants

I had an excuse!! I was going to post but i forgot i was going out for a late valentines present. To see They Might Be Giants!!!! :) And I ended up at the front of the stage too. Weeeeeee. I got my workout watching the band too, jumping up and down like one of the college kids :) They sang Birdhouse in your Soul, Sexxy, James K. Polk, The mesopotamians, and This from Apollo 18. That's the ones I can remember off the top of my head. :) It was a load of fun....for me at least...Terry not so much.

So, yesterday!!!

Breakfast: oatmeal with bananas, coffee

Snack: 1/2 spinach banana smoothie

Lunch: a couple fried cheese wheels and the other 1/2 of the smoothie

Snack: 14 pistachios

Dinner: 2 bowls of chicken tortilla soup....ah.

A beer at the show. :)

And I did not workout...it was raining for most of the day and i needed a break...my chest was killing me.

Today though, I was good. I walked/ran 2 miles on the greenway. I've gotten myself to the point where I can run for 2 straight songs, walk one then run 2 songs...and i'm usually done with the two miles by then. :) Then I came home and did the Friday workout.....ouch.

Breakfast: walnut banana oatmeal, coffee

Snack: banana pb smoothie

Lunch: 1 bowl of tortilla soup

Snack: 14 pistachios

Dinner: 2 thin slices of pizza (maybe 1 total) and a bowl of torilla soup

I'm trying to make up for last week.....we'll see on Sunday. :)

Its Wednesday

I busted Arse today. Walked/ran 2 miles...trying to run the whole thing, then i can walk two miles....thats my goal. And I did Wednesday's routine.....ohhhhh my arms hurt. No pain no gain, right? :)

The jumping jacks are the sucky part. Oh i hate those....mostly because they make my heart race. Hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!! :)~

Breakfast: oatmeal with banana, coffee

Snack: glorious banana peanut butter smoothie....ah.

Lunch: fried tofu with a homemade tzatziki sauce on a whole wheat bun and steamed broccoli, water

Snack: p.b. granola bar

Dinner: 1 small piece of chicken, boiled with tzatziki sauce on it with fried (in a tbsp of oil) potatoes and spinach and like 20 baby carrots, and water.

I think I did pretty good today with food. I'm gonna try and shoot for this again tomorrow. :)

Happy Heart Day

Well, I worked out really hard today. I did 2 miles, ran about 1 mile....and then did jumping jacks and pushups. 10, 9, 8, etc.....talk about jelly arms. It took 4 hours before my arms didn't shake. :0

Food....sorta did ok...til dinner....ugh.

Breakfast: oatmeal with bananas, coffee.

Snack: banana peanut butter smoothie....aaah.

Dinner, sloppy joe with cheese, the rest of the mac salad (1/2 cup), some chips (i know, i know)

Not losing any weight with this....but I wrote it down....
