Successful week!

After a week of successful week of tracking it was rewarded on the scale this morning. I was 3.2 pounds this morning at weigh in.

My stats are:

Starting weight: 259.6
Current weight: 164.0

Total pounds lost FOREVER!!!! 95.6

On to a new week for me.Tracking,tracking and more tracking.

Successful week?

This week I made it my goal to track 100%. I tried not to eat things that I didn't know the points value on. You might say, "well just look them up" I am not talking a simple granola bar but things like an BLT sandwhich that I would buy at a grocery store.

Here is my daily tracker. I am so happy that it is full. No zeros in it. Well there are some zeros, I got no activity in this week. Next week I promise.

Well let's hope it shows on the scale tomorrow at weigh in. Tune in tomorrow when I post my weigh in results.

2011 a new year!

It's funny how a new year brings a lot bloggers that haven't been updating their blog on a regular basis to do so in the new year, and I guess that would be me also.

Well I haven't really updated my blog since my race report for my run that I did on Halloween. I guess I really haven't been feeling the whole blog thing. I thought that I wanted to have a great blog, lots of followers, update everyday on my life. Then I realized that it's HARD to get followers. It's HARD to commit to write something everyday. It's HARD to think of something to write about that the little followers you have might find interesting. And finally it's HARD to have your life on the internet. I always wonder who is actually reading my blog.

Last year I had a few goals that I wanted to do:
Become a lifetime member at Weight Watchers
Learn to run program at the Running room
Run a 5k.

Well I did 1/3.

I thought that going into 2010 would be my year. My year of losing 100 pounds, becoming a lifetime member but it didn't happen. It's not for lack of trying. I thought how hard could it be to lose 25 pounds when I have already lost 75 pounds? WRONG! The last 25 pounds have been my hardest pounds to lose. I know everyone says the closest you are to your goal the hardest it is. Well I didn't want to believe them.
So the total pounds lost in 2010 were 20 pounds. I am so proud of those 20 pounds I lost. Yes I would loved it be 25 pounds but it didn't happen. I had a set back in september when I went to an all inclusive vacation and gained 9 pounds. If I hadn't gained 9 pounds then maybe I would of hit my 100 pounds.

I didn't join the RR learn to run program but I did running on my own. I have learn to LOVE running. I actually crave it everyday.

I did run 3 5km runs this year. Every time I got better and faster. I am so proud of those runs that I did.

So now I site 2 days into a new year and wonder where it will take me? I wonder what I will be typing next year at this time. Hopefully I will hit my 100 pounds lost and I will hit lifetime member.

If you are reading this drop me a comment so I know someone out there in cyber world actual took the time to read this. I would really appreciate it.

Merry Christmas

From my family to yours!!

Halloween 5km!

Today I ran a local event in our town. It was inaugral event. There was a ten miler and 5k run. It was a small event. They capped the event to 250 runners for both events.

It was a very cold morning. No sun in sight. Before the run even started you could see all the runners trying to keep their bodies warm by moving around. I debated if I should wear my jacket or not,but at the end I decided not to wear it. Which was good because you forget how much you warm up once you get moving.

The course was we were running was on our local trails.

(all ready to start)

I ran way too fast out of the gate.

Here are my splits:

1km 6:11

2km 6:26

3km 6:41

4km 6:51

5km 6:48

total time: 32:58

I have never ran a pace of 6:11, no wonder I was dying after the first 2km.

I am pretty happy with my time even though I got really tired at in the middle of it, but I just kept pushing myself. I took a few 30 second walk breaks.

 

Hopefully my next 5km race I can get in between 30-32mins.

(Here I come)

 

Post race thoughts:

 

No water given out on the course. I did have my fuel belt but sometimes it easier to grab and run instead of grabbing from your own fuel belt.

No post race food? WTF? Usually you have something for us runners.

Nice medal at the end. Maybe they subbed the food for the medal?

 

On to the next race, probably next year!

Weigh In Results and 5k run!

I have been very busy with work lately well I should say that my work schedule is so messed up lately that I haven’t had time to post my weigh in results for this past week.

 

I had a feeling this week. I thought I would be up. I don’t know why I felt like this but I did. Anyways when I stepped on the scale it read:

 

Last weeks weight:168.8

This weeks weight:169.0

+.2

Not as bad as I felt or thought.

 

Tomorrow I am running my official 5k run. I say official because it is chipped timed run.The other 5k and I ran in september was just a fun run and not really an official run.

My last run and actually my first 5km run was in July. I ran it is 35.40 in scorching heat. Hopefully this run I can set my first PB(personal best).

There are a few things that are different for this run then my first one:

 

Running it alone, usually I run with my sister’s bf, so hopefully I can push myself a little harder

Cooler weather

Have had a good summer building a little bit of speed.

 

So I have some goals:

A-Between 30-32 mins. This is a pipe dream. I know it isn’t going to happen but anything is possible right?

B-32-35mins Achievable

C-Worst fear, 35.40 mins get a worse time then this.

 

I will post my time tomorrow..Wish me luck!

Weigh In Results!

Today I weighed in at my meeting. There was not one person there today that is usually goes on Tuesday mornings. Weird EH? Not sure where everyone was today. It was good to see new people there though. Second meeting with my new leader. Still getting used to her.

 

Last weeks weight: 171.0

This weeks weight;168.8

-2.2

 

I will take that! Working off that post vacation bulge! Slowly it will come off!

 

 

Running is going really well. Trying to get my distance up.

And I actually am considering training for a half marathon next year. It will be one in October of 2011, so lots of time to train and change my mind! HAH
