Training

Hey everyone. I am an aweful blogger! But I am doing great on my diet and my work outs and I have started training for my marathon! Its going to be on October 8th. I am way excited. This morning I ran for 30 minutes without stopping. When I run my marathon I want to run/jog the whole time. I am running a 5k in July, 10k in August, 1/2 a marathon in September, and my full marathon in October! My trainer kim and I have put together a meal plan. I almost have a whole week put together. I am way excited. I went to Olive Garden last night, I did not have any bread sticks or pasta. I ordered a salad with the low fat dressing on the side. For dinner I had there venetian chicken with broccolli and asparagus it had a apricot sauce I had on the side with only a couple bites. I was so proud of myself!

Jeans and Compitition!

Do you ever get stuck in Automatic? I have been stuck in this motion called life and I have only been going to the gym with my trainer and I haven't been able to focus! I am ready to get out of my funk and really work hard. My friends and I are starting a Biggest Loser compitition for anyone who wants to join. We are weighing in on Saturday May 28th and going for 8 weeks. 20 dollars to sign up and the winner of the highest % lost gets all the money. The winner who losing the most inches will also get a small portion of the money. There will be one mid weigh in and alot of Basketball games or walks you can join. We are excited to have a motivation and to motivate others! I hope that this will help me. So come out and Join if you'd like to or email me a picture of a scale with you on it if you are not able to make it to the weigh ins and you can mail the money.
I went shopping with my mom for my birthday and I wanted to get an outfit that I don't fit into, an outfit I just couldn't live without. I found the perfect pair of jeans, Three sizes to small! I I am excited to one day fit into them. I am still looking for that perfect shirt that I HAVE to one day just wear out and love!
I have been eating so great! I just don't know how to eat right and count calories. I just don't get it for some reason. I want to talk with kim (my trainer) tomorrow and really get a good menu and schedule so i have no room for slip ups! I am excited to get into a weigh loss Automatic. I feel like I have been stuck at 255 forever and I really need to get past it!

First Day with my New Trainer

This morning was my first day with my new trainer. I love her, I don't feel awkward with her like I did with Jake. She had a plan and took notes and I could tell that she really cared about my goals and my concerns. We didn't do a whole lot today just tested my strength so that she knew where to start with me. We did a little circket training, I felt like she made the most time we had left to good use. I asked her about my fit fusion class and 5k training and she thinks that that is great. I am very excited, I'm going to be one hot mamma!
I went to jamba juice today and got a juice, I love jamba juice! I never really liked them before. I am still sserching for the perfect drink there let me know what your favorites are. I have had the most stressful day with babies throwing up and drs appts I just wanted to buy a giant box of ding dongs and down them all... But I refrained and I am so proud... can't wait to train tomorrow.

Work outs 2 for 2

This week I have been 2 for 2 on workouts! I went running with my running partner Lindsay yesterday and this morning I went to yoga. First yesterday (Monday) we went running and we kicked butt on workout two of our 5k program. I am so excited that we have each other to push one another. I feel like I am holding her back a little though, I don't have a very long stride. It is hard to pull around all this extra weight! I think I will be much faster when I weigh less so I hope that I can lose 20-30 pounds before our 5k on July 16th. I am excited for Thursday so we can accomplish our first week of Training Then we will be on to the next week!
Second Yoga today was so good I went to a beginner class I felt more comfortable in a beginner class. I could do more things that they were doing. We did a hip stretch that felt so good (Running is really hard on my hips). I also did... Wait for it... A Head Stand! Last time I tried I couldn't grasp the concept, this time I did. I only got off the graound for two seconds and freaked out but I did IT!
I have a such a good week so far I could not get off this feeling even if I wanted to. I want to feel like this every single day! I am going to do morning workouts as much as possible so that I can feel good all day and not want to eat badly.
Lindsay and I are starting Thursday and we are going to make our meals for a whole week together so We not only have it planned out but have it all ready in the fridge for when we are ready to go. I always eat good when I have it on hand! I am just looking for something fast when I want something! You know that is the only reason I eat fast food hence the FAST part. I can't wait to see my results next week! It will be one for the books!
HERE WE GO!

Starting New and 5K!

Okay now that you all have seen fail misserably and shut everyone out... Here I go again! I am starting today with a new game plan. I am making more rules for myself
Rule 1: No Sugar
Rule 2: No White bread Whole grains only!
Rule 3: Exercise Every day but Sunday
I am terribly excited about it mostly because Ryan is doing it with me! We are going to train togetherish for a 5k, we can't really ever go at the same time seeing that we have taylor and taytum.
I am really excited to start new and start good. I feel like such a Failure I never want to do it again. I got so down when I hurt my ankle. I knew every diet I have ever tried without exercise has sadly failed. Once I hurt my ankle my mind went into this mode of lose and depression. I never want to get there again.
I want to go buy a really expensive pair of jeans in a size 14. I would love to be a 10 but I think realistically I am more likely to get into a size 14 then I will work into a size 10. I want to put this pair of jeans on my wall. I will look at this pair of jeans every day and see what I can be and how I spent all that money I should really work to be able to wear them down. What do you think of this motivation???
Sorry I have not been posting I feel like you don't really want to hear me whine every day! I am ready to get back on that scale and show you how badly I have messed up and never do that again here we go...

I only gained 5 pounds and I thought it would be much more! I am so disappointed in myself, but I have to get over it and move on. I am starting a 5k program its called the C25k program (Couch to 5K) I am super excited Ryan is going to train by himself well with his friends and I am going to train on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays with my friend Lindsay Bowers. I am excited to have a running buddy I have always done it on my own and have not succeeded. I have done this program before and I failed so misserably. I tried to run a 5k on New Years Eve I trained a ton in August and procrastinated and tried to do the program in just a few weeks. You can't skip steps in life and that is what I learned. I am on my way to being fit and sexy can't wait to meet me!

Waiting!

Waiting to feel better.... I am sick of the pain and I wish I have been better on my diet but the other day I ate a little container of cookies because I could reach them and I didn't have to ask Ryan to get them for me. I have snacked alot because what else could I do. I am scared to step on the scale I think I've gained all that I have lost. I feel so helpless! I can walk on it now but my boot is awkward and I only last about an hour standing. We went to r.c. Willey to buy our tv. I did really good but paid for it later! I foing to miss my fit fusion classes for a couple weeks but can't wait until I can get back. I feel better and do better on my diet when I work out before I start my day! I have done so aweful on my diet I have been telling myself I deserve this I am injured! I always do better when I have the endorphines from working out! I can't wait to get back and start training for my 5k.
