Also, I have been doing Couch 2 5k .  Next week will be my 3rd week and I am doing well with it.  I actually really like it.  I am still unsure if I see myself being a 5k runner, but I am going to try like hell

saved

today I had the MUNCHIES~  I made the girls Fried French Fries and chicken nuggets and I could not keep my hands off of the french fries.  I was going to go over on calories tonight, but the BFF talked me into my senses.  I so need that girl in my life.  I really was in a I DON'T give a shit kinda mood, but she reminded me that come Monday when the scales not saying good things that I only would have myself to blame.  I love that girl!
It really sucks that some days this comes so easy and other days I just want to give in to every temptation.  I guess I will just have these struggles for the rest of my life so I will have to get used to it. 

Boring

Nothing exciting really has been going on. I did enjoy 2 pieces of PAPA JOHNS pizza today. One for lunch and one for dinner. It was soooooo good.

Quick post

Today I weigh 138.4!!!!!

Weigh day

In the morning. I hope to be 138. I also did 3 miles today. It was cold, but I made it through and felt good when I was done.

Back in track

Cheated yesterday and back on track today. Usually if I would have a cheat day it would lead to more cheating, but today I'm right back where I should be. It feels good to know I can do that on occasion and not have to worry. I will feel confident with it as long as the scale stays nice on Monday.

cheater cheater

I cheated on calories today.  I shouldn't really let it bother me, but I FEEL SO GUILTY~  I went over by about 700 calories.  The food was really good, but I wish I would have had more will power to  not do it.  Oh well, tomorrow is a new day and back on track I must be!~

paint

I made the girls shaving cream paint for their baths.  IT WAS A HUGE HIT.  Mya spent 45 minutes in the tub and then I had to tell her to get out.  Then after bath time I made them 5 minute mug cakes and ice cream.  Laken said it was the best snack ever.  LOL

that was scary

We had really bad storms that came through the area and I guess tornado's close to my area.  We got small hail here, but others close by had baseball sized hail.  Hopefully hubby's car didn't get damaged while at work.

another good feeling

I actually fit into single digit jeans today.  I put 3 pair on and they all fit, well actually are kind of lose.  Now granted I also have 12's that still fit and I guess it all depends on the brand, but I was so happy.  I am also still finding that as much as I hate to have my picture taken (especially the ones for comparison) that I am really happy to have them to look back on.  No wonder I wasn't happy.  Looking back I just cannot believe that I did that to myself.  WHAT WAS I THINKING?

I am even about 10 pounds lighter then this picture now.  I need to get a better comparison soon.

139

I DID IT!!!9 pounds from my first goal.  AMEN~

will it happen?

Tomorrow is weigh day...Will I be in the 130's?  Today I was 139.8  I hope it remains over night.  I better go to bed soon though because I made no bakes, and my brother in law came over and bought some of my favorite pizza and I just started picking.  I NEED TO STOP~ Oh and the treadmill bracket on the other side is now starting to break which is going to really screw up my workouts.  I AM SO PISSED!

longest day ever

I swear this day just will not end.  I am very cranky today and really didn't do much besides the treadmill, and make dinner.  I had to push hard on the treadmill again.  I still managed to run a mile non-stop though.  I also think that I need to cover the calories burned on my treadmill with tape or something because they are so far off from what my heart rate monitor tells me and it becomes very discouraging.  I hopped on the scale after lunch and it said I was 139.6 so I think as long as I am careful...Monday's weigh in should be a great one.  I love this feeling of being thinner.  I just need to keep reminding myself of that so I do not get out of control again. I can't believe that I am almost 30 pounds lighter then I was 70+ days ago~I have had wonderful and supportive friends to get me where I am.  I am very thankful!

well Hot DAMN

I did it again.  Ran a mile that is.  Now I need to work really hard to make it to a mile and a half.  I really had to push hard to workout today.  I had a headache and just felt so lazy .   Surprisingly though, after I did the treadmill my headache didn't seem to be as bad as it was before.  Sometimes I guess it really does pay to push yourself hard. The weather was GORGEOUS and I am so ready for it to be that way all the time. Also the scale was 140 this morning.  I hope I at least hang onto that number until Monday and Tuesday or even better to be lower then that. 

Time for a really horrible comparison picture again.  Holy fucking fat!~I better NEVER let myself go like that again. 

naughty leprechauns

Mya woke up around 12:00 and said she had to go to the bathroom.  She rarely ever does that.  I think it was the excitement to see if the leprechauns had paid us a visit.  ( I had to direct her straight to the bathroom even though she tried peeking downstairs).  When we woke up for school, the girls were really excited, but I am not sure I can pull this off another year with Mya.  They thought it was so funny that the toothpaste was in the fridge, the milk was green(which Mya swears made it taste so much better...LOL), the shoes were hanging from door handles, coats in the middle of the floor, toilet paper strung throughout the downstairs, all the snack food was in the living room, toothbrushes on the tv stand, and the toilet water was green because a leprechaun had used the toilet, but didn't flush because they were afraid of waking someone in the house up.  When Mya seen the toilet water she swore it was cleaner.  I told her if it was cleaner it would have a strong smell, but it didn't.  Then she said that the leprechauns have clean smelling pee.  Then they even had to go and wake up daddy to let him know what all had happened in the middle of the night.

Then it was time to get ready for school.  I put some Green hairspray in the girls hair.

 I think they really enjoyed today.  It was something new for us.  They still were bringing it up as I tucked them into bed tonight.

As for me.  I didn't workout today, but I did stay at 1200 calories.  For the last 2 days, I have been up a pound and I am hoping that it will be gone by Monday.  I really cannot wait for that scale to say 139.

spit it out

So today I made pretty little sugar cookies that are for tomorrow.  I also stuck one in my mouth, chewed it, and then spit it back out.  LMAO.  I was desperate, I wanted to taste it.  I liked it, but then felt super guilty that I had done that.  It was really good though.

I also think they are pretty freaking cute.  Now I am trying to get creative because they leprechauns have to come trash my house tonight.  We are not IRISH, but I thought this would be super fun for the girls to be able to do.  We made a trap to try to catch those sneaky little guys.  I colored the milk green, I toilet papered the inside of the house a little.  (cant be wasting to much TP.  that stuff is way to expensive)  I moved their toothbrushes and toothpaste, I moved all the snack food into the livingroom, before they wake up in the morning I plan to make the toilet water Green,  and I am not sure what else I am going to do, but I hope it is enough to get the girls laughing their butts off in the morning.

Eat

Good gravy! I don't know what the deal is with me today. I am not hungry, yet I find that I keep shoving shit in my mouth. I was going to have a no workout day, but since I went over 1200 calories I had to workout. I only burned 300 calories, but I did end up running 1.25 miles non stop. I don't think I've ever done that. I just hope that even though I ate around 200 calories
Over, that I confuse my metabolism because if I gain by my weigh in, I'm goin to be super pissed at myself.

Great day

My mom took the girls and I to the mall today and then out to eat. We went to Perkins. I had chicken noodle soup. Out of everything that I could have chosen I picked the 150 calorie menu item.
I'm down 26 pounds now and totally stoked!


Oh and did u see the bachelor tonight ? Wow all I can say is wtf. Lol

big accomplishment

Today I reached a HUGE accomplishment: I RAN A MILE NON STOP~ that was right after I had walked 3.75 miles. I went a total of 5 miles today. I know that to some, this may not be a huge thing.  For me it is.  Even back when I was in high school and middle school I could only do good at the short distance runs, but never the long distance.  I burned over 500 calories and I whined like a little baby on my last .25.  That is okay though because I freaking did it. I pushed through the pain because I wanted to be able to feel accomplished.  70 days ago it was hard for me to walk a mile and now I ran one.  I hope in another 70 days I can run 2 miles.

Running and running

Well the treadmill has made it 7 miles without breaking.  I think it is really fixed this time.  Back in January it was really hard for me to go 4 MPH and today, I was doing HIIT for 20 minutes.  My highest MPH was a 7.  I am so impressed with myself.  I am hoping that when my Brother in Law comes in for a visit in the Spring that I will be able to go for a run with him.  He is an avid runner.  He runs 3-4 miles 5 days a week and has for years.  I HAVE NEVER been a runner. Today I went 4 miles on the treadmill that is both running and walking. The most I have ever run straight was a mile and that was years ago.  Today I ran 6 minutes straight and I will be happy with that.  My feet hurt though.  I think I have blisters.  Wonder how well I will do tomorrow.  I am excited about this journey I am on.  Some days more then others. COME ON 130's I can smell you!
