Day 20!

WOW, I've been doing this for 20 days already?! Crazy!
Today I did well with my diet, and I got in exercise. I did not feel well today and in fact did NOT want to work out today. Being that I had to walk up to campus to get water anyway I figured why not get my workout in too.
How many of you have trouble working out when you don't feel well? Do you do it anyways? This of course depends on how sick you feel... but you know when it's not totally taking you out, do you still work out?

Day 19 (Sunday)

It's official, I had a BAD day. I went over calories. By how much I'm not sure I stopped tracking. I don't think it was much but I'm pretty positive I went over. I'm kind of okay with it in a way because I've been so good for so long, so I feel like I'm doing pretty good.

Today, I'm back to the diet grind, I mean "lifestyle" grind. Hoping it will go well. Better get to the day now!

Happy Dieting.

Day 17 & 18

Both of these days went well for me. I got my workout in on Friday and it was a good one. I didn't really track a whole lot of what I ate on Friday, being that it was the anniversary of my Mom's death I didn't focus on food and just enjoyed the day.

I hope all is going well for my fellow weight lossers!!

Day 16

Ran 3 miles today, first time since before Hayden. I'm being hard on myself, I know it's good, but I know I can run further. Oh well, here's to 3 miles!

Trying....

Lately I've been trying to relish in the moment, be happier and enjoy more of life (this includes my "getting my athlete back"). I've been trying to find the sunshine in every little thing I do to make this journey work. Today, I had a bitter sweet experience. For my workout this morning I had a little bit of extra time so I kept on running. The good news I'm back to 5K shape, then I went to what they call 'body trackers' to weigh myself and Hayden. When I weighed myself in there it said that I'd only lost 2-3 lbs from when we moved down here!!! Mind you, when we moved down here I was not in the best of shape and Hayden was only 8 weeks old so I still had baby weight to loose. I can't figure out why I would only be a few lbs lighter after all the walking I do everyday AND all the hard work I've put into working out!!! This right here is why I hate scales!
I'm not going to lie this was very discouraging, especially after how hard I've been trying with my caloric intake, which I've never really worried too much about before. I'm feeling a little lack of motivation now. :o( I'll keep going but I'm not going to lie and say that this just plain SUCKED! I was going to take a progress picture today, but it's going to have to wait, I'm a little scarred today.

Day 15

Things are going well today. Got in all my goodness of exercise and stuck to my calories. I even learned how to make a local dish today! It was great day.

I'm still longing for the days where I can spend more than 20 mins running, I miss loosing myself for an hour.
