Tom week which means bad choices, pain and suffering. Gawd, sometimes I hate being a girl!!
Yesterday I managed to stuff down my gullet -
Breakfast - oatmeal, blueberries and coffee
snack - banana
lunch - cheese/turkey sandwich, cucumbers
Here is where the day takes a drastic nose dive:
Snack - pack of wine gums, Atkins coconut snack bar
2nd afternoon snack - 5 triscuits
Dinner - 3 slices of chicken/pesto pizza
1st after dinner snack - fried tofu
dessert - skinny cow ice cream
2nd after dinner snack - 2 chocolate cookies.
Nuff said.
Needless to say - need to drink me some water today and rid myself of the shame!

Craving mini eggs...
I hate that empty plate - I'm eating my lunch, viewing some blogs, having a relaxing time and I look down to grab another bite of my food and IT'S ALL GONE!!!
Where did it go? Did I drop it, did someone come and steal it? No... I ate it!
One of those days.. craving mini eggs....
Geez....

Weekly Goals Take 2!
So I did pretty well last week with my weekly/daily goals but by the time Friday hit, the goals went out the window and I said "fuck it" yet again!
Sick of it.
I have to make simpler goals I think.
Goal for this week is to TRACK my POINTS!
I gained another .5 lb this week. Should not have gained this amount. I'm mad at myself cause I keep sabotaging myself. I'm not sure why I do this but I do.
So, gonna track and hope that this gives me a decent loss that I can record for next monday.
Boys both have tournaments this weekend so that means eating out but I can be good even if I'm not home. Actually that might help as I seem to open the cupboards and fridge a lot lately out of boredom.
Looking forward to C25K this week.. Week 6 tomorrow!
Happy Monday.

Weekend Update
Just a quick update to end out the weekend. Hubby is grocery shopping right now (squeee - I hate grocery shopping!)...
Great weekend - big news is that I completed W5D3 of C25K!!!! That's 20 straight minutes of running and it was really not that bad. When the recorded voice in my app came on after the 20 minutes and said "walk" I burst out crying. I have NEVER run 20 minutes straight in my life. It was incredible.
Eating has been ok this weekend but I haven't tracked. Need to be on top of that next weekend, but at this point, I'm still proud of myself for running, so I am not as worried about Points+ and weight watchers.
Tomorrow when the scale has not moved I will be worried again.
Until Monday.... later!
:)
I RAN 20 MINUTES PEOPLE!!! :)

F R I D A Y!!!!
Thank God it's FRIDAY! That was a long week.
Survived run W5D2 yesterday and worried about tomorrow but if I don't make it, I don't make it! I will redo day 2 until I feel comfortable.
I did well on lunch yesterday. One slice of pizza, salad and no cake!
Today not so well, but I do like to treat myself on Fridays. Sushi and a small piece of cheesecake! mmmm
Happy friday!

Temptations
The next two days are going to seriously test my will power. We have two staff lunches; one today and one tomorrow. Today's lunch is pizza and salad. I have planned for a low pt breakfast so can do one slice of veggie pizza and a swack of salad. Followed by Tuxedo Mousse Cake... Ugh... my favorite.
Tomorrow is a good bye lunch for the wicked witch of the north. (I'm not a fan of her!). Lunch is sushi and other japanese assortments (edamame, tempura, noodles etc) and cheesecake.
Seriously?? Normally I would skip, just say, thanks but no thanks, but I should attend both of these.
Wednesday Goals:
1. Drink 3 litres of water! CHECK
2. Stay within DP! CHECK
3. Laundry - I know this has nothing to do with losing weight but it will keep me busy :) CHECK
4. cut up fruit and freeze for smoothies CHECK
5. Look up some Arm exercises to do with free weights CHECK and did em too!
Today's Goals:
1. Keep out of the cake!
2. Drink my water
3. C25K - big run tonight!
4. 200 situps
5. Continue to collect info for taxes (ugh)!
I'm excited about the run tonight. Did fret about it a bit last night and couldn't sleep. Stupid I know... trying to decide if I will hit the track or head to the gym. I don't really want to start on the treadmill and then have to take it back outside once the asshats are done with their construction project.
Looks like lots to report back tomorrow - temptations and goals. Wish me luck!

Success, I guess...
Well, I'm shocked I was able to get through last night's run cause it was a series of clusterfucks from the start. On my way home on the bus, I continued to struggle with the thought of running: How will I make it through tonight and then thursday and saturday for the big 20 minute run? What if I don't make it, will I have to start the week over or do I go back to week 4? blah blah blah.
The track that I run is right next to the park and ride where I hop on and off the bus at night. I switched to the track a week ago because the ground is softer than the paved road and I don't have to worry about big trucks, cars etc. The track is an old race horse track not your typical running track so it's a bit longer and very rarely used by anyone.
Anyway... I get off the bus and they are working on the track. There are bulldozers, big work trucks and all sorts of other machinery there, the entrance is blocked off with a sign that says "Street reconstruction project - closed 6 weeks starting April 5 Monday to Thursday 7am to 5:30pm"... WTF?
So strike number 1. The City folks are traipsing all over my track with their big tractors and machines and won't let me in until 5:30. Fine.
I get home and start to get ready anyways. Can't find my running capris and sports bra! Anywhere. I look in the laundry room, the folded laundry pile, the closet, the drawer.. Where are they? Oh, wait... they are at the bottom of the dirty hamper... DAMNIT! Pull em out, give them a sniff test... they are ok for one more go around. Strike 2.
Head downstairs to get my iPhone ready, battery is 1/2 dead. COME ON!!! I quickly put the phone on my charger. I have to wait another 15 minutes for the work dudes to move their big machines, so I can wait.
I wait...and wait...
Finally 5:20.. I head out. In my not so fresh running outfit, my water, my phone - all good. On my drive to track I pass the big work trucks, so I know they are gone and I should be free to run and be all on my lonesome !!!
I get there and this is what the entrance to the track looks like..... this is a stretch of about 50 feet of my run...
The rest of the track was ok. It was a bit chilly out and looked like it was going to rain at any moment but I managed to get through it. I did have to tip toe through this shit above, so my times were a bit slower than normal but it was ok.
I think I'll have to change location for thursdays run, especially if it rains... Asshats.. Stay off my track!
With regards to my Tuesday goals:
1. Drink 3 litres of water! CHECK
2. Stay within Daily Points! FAIL - but only went over 2 and I have not dipped into my weeklies yet. Just activity points
3. Run C25K tonight CHECK
4. 200 situps CHECK
5. Cut up fruit and freeze for smoothies FAIL... too tired, but I do have to do this tonight!

I'm stressing just a bit
about my run tonight... It's week 5 of C25K, which means 3 5 minute run intervals. I think I'll be ok. Actually I know I will. I think the stress is more in what is come in 2 more runs. The dreaded "20 minute non stop, no running, I think I'll be dying" run.
Baby steps right?
We'll see.

A new me.....and yesterday's update
A new fresh blog! I'm excited.. so far from my poking around I like what I see on blogger better than what I had at the old blogging tool. Not going to name names, but blogger gives me more FREE tools than what I had before.

1. Drink 3 litres of water! CHECK
2. Stay within daily points EEK - went over by 3
3. NO COOKIES!! <---- this one is honestly harder than many of the other ones CHECK CHECK!
4. work on 200 Situps CHECK5. Pack healthy lunch for Tuesday. CHECK
Tuesday's Goals:

Daily goals?
I started to thinking when I went to bed last night about my monthly goals and then figured, why not set daily goals? I know that would get really old really fast but figured to try and get my butt back into WW mode, maybe I should do it for 1 week, at least 5 days (working days) and see what happens. So here goes:
Monday Goals:
1. Drink 3 litres of water!
2. Stay within daily points
3. NO COOKIES!! <---- this one is honestly harder than many of the other ones
4. work on 200 Situps
5. Pack healthy lunch for Tuesday.
WI showed a .5 lb loss today. Not bad, pretty much what I expected... oh well.
Hopefully this recommitment will give me some good results for next week. I tried on a few pairs of old jeans last night and still no go on the zipping up.. IKE!

Weekend, March recap and April "to do list"
This weekend was a busy weekend but it was an overall success eating wise. We did end up going to a dinner party on Saturday night at the local mexican restaurant but I behaved. I only had 2 drinks and chicken fajitas (which was the most healthy thing on the menu). I have not tracked since Wednesday and I do need to be better at that... more on that when I review this month's goals.
Onto March Goals:
1) Lose 8 lbs! FAIL
2) Start one exercise and do it 2 times a week YEAH BABY C25K!
3) Clean out portion of closet and donate clothes that are too big or too ugly! 1/2 accomplished this one. Did more today, but still have more to do.
4) Put aside $300 for N's Calgary trip in April. DONE!
5) Take body measurements by end of month! FAIL = but this was because I did not lose the 8 lbs that I wanted to. Body measurements are at the 20 lb loss mark... have not yet reached that milestone!
6) Buy new BRAS!! DONE - 2 nice new ones in a smaller band size... not cup size though - Doh!
April Goals:
1. Lose 5 lbs - As I only lost 2 lbs in March! That's an epic failure when it is put on paper. A lot of up and down all month. 5 lbs should be doable for April!
2. Continue with C25K and add another activity
3. Track my points!
4. Buy new underwear! :)
5. TAXES... Blech
6. Take measurements - this should fall in line with lose 5 lbs
The first goal is a weekly goal of tracking each and everything thing. I've slacked off the last week or so because of spring break and not always being near a computer etc. But it's back to work and I should be better. I have slacked on my water and my veggie intake. Must get better at that too!
Oh - and I think I'll blog more. I see to be a bit more on track when I blog.. so... Until tomorrow??
CYA!
