Better than nothing!

Day 3 was not terrific, but could have been worse - I could have skipped the work out.
I wasn't able to work out at 4:00 pm because I had to finish work before taking my son to his baseball game. I got home around 7:15. I figured I would do Day 3. What I hadn't looked at was that it was a cardio day! The good news was that it was only 40 minutes. I did a pretty good job except I skipped the last section which re-did all the ab work together in 1 workout. I was starving at this point and couldn't imagine being on my hands and knees. But I am glad I did it.

Thursday - Day 4 didn't happen. I was out in the morning at school activities and then had to leave promptly at 4:00 to run a bunch of errands so I wouldn't have to do it this weekend. I came home at 7:00 for a quick bite to eat and then back out. Once I was home and settled it was 9:00. I am not hard core enough to work out at 9:00. Plus I needed to get up at 4:30 to run with a friend.

The run this morning was a little sluggish. We ended up walking (by my need) one of the running intervals. But 3 miles is 3 miles. I hope to get Day 4 done tonight! And tomorrow a walk/hike....in 90 degree weather!

Obsessed Day 2

I finally got a new app so I can post from my phone again and perhaps include pictures again! My old app was discontinued and I never got around to finding a new one.

Like usual, my day started out well. I got in a good walk before settling into my desk for the day and another shorter one around 11:00.

I went home and like usual that was when the day went to crap. Too many temptations at home. I really need to just have NOTHING in the house. Bug I also need to find something to redirect myself away from food. 

I was convinced I wouldn’t get to Day 2 of 80 Day Obsession. But I was an accountability buddy and I didn’t want to screw up day 2! So I started around 7:15.

It wasn’t pretty but I got it done! 

Not really Obsessed Day 1

A friend of mine is starting 80 Day Obsession over and wants encouragement, so about 4 weeks ago I said I would try it with her. In my mind I said I would do the 21 Day Fix again and then the week before do the Little Obsession. None of which happened.

But yesterday came and I knew I needed to give it a try. Not that I am expecting miracles to happen because I won't be doing the Program to a T, but it will get my body moving and I am slowly learn the new moves and most of all it will help me schedule my workouts.

All this week I can be home and working out between 4 pm and 5 pm, so I have blocked off the time on my calendar.

And yesterday was Day 1.

I wanted to quit after 5 minutes. Even though I had had lunch 3 hours earlier, I overate (in a healthy way - Thai ground turkey, a few noodles, bean sprouts ) and I felt sick. And then I felt majorly uncoordinated, but by the end of the hour I learned to modify things my own way and excited for Day 2.

An hour was a long time. Knowing that you do all the exercises once and then go back and do them all again, I could stop at 30 minutes at times if I needed to, though I know that isn't what they want!

When I was done, the rest of my family was out, so I was on my own for dinner. Again, I ate healthy (ground turkey taco meat, spiralized sweet potato, corn, black beans, a little sour cream (light) and a little cheese (not light!) but I ate too much.

Today I am in the office for a while, perhaps the only day this week. I am going to get my steps in and bring a healthy, small lunch!

Happy 13 Years

So many times in the last 2 months I've looked at the computer and wanted to write and just haven't, but I figure my 13th wedding anniversary is a good time to do it.

How I long to be 184 pounds again, but I can't even think that. Right now I need to take 1 pound at a time.

Last time we "talked" I was 227 - I was loving WW and eager to go every week. I knew I would need to take 2 weeks off in April, but I would be back at it. But I missed a week even before that....and haven't been back since.

We went on vacation and I was miserable, miserable looking at the pictures. The saving grace was I had been so nervous about the size restraints at Universal Florida and being that made me realize that they didn't mean me! That there were lots, and lots, and lots of people larger than me!.

So today I weigh 230. I put back on my FitBit. I am going to get more active. I am going to drink my water. Baby steps.

Oh yeah, and Friday I went running with a friend. We did 3 miles at 4:00/1:00 run/walk. I was supposed to go yesterday with another friend by she bailed Saturday night- that is probably best - it was almost 70 at 99% humidity when we were supposed to go.

Yesterday I meal prepped and got my work out area organized. Crossing my fingers!

And hoping 1 of the weekend days is nice this weekend so we can get a hike in. Body movement, here I come!
