Speed bumps coming this week:
Traveling for Spring Break to see family.  Such yummy food will be around me!!  :(  I may just have to run the hundreds of miles home to burn off the calories I eat!!

11.5 only 8.5 to go

When I started Weight Watchers a month ago, I decided that I would buy a new purse when I lost 20 pounds... well, as of today I have lost 11.5!!!  ONLY 8.5 TO GO !!!

I am thinking this is the purse I want...

 

However, I don't think Dooney & Bourke sells them anymore :(   Hopefully I can find it somewhere else, or maybe another zebra purse.

Weight Watchers

Well, after alot of thought, I decided to start weight watchers !  I have heard a lot of good things about it and some friends who have had success !  I am really hoping it helps !  :)

I am doing the online version of it and I was thrilled when I saw there is an App for my iPhone!!

Of course, tonight we are going to dinner at The Cotton Patch Cafe and wouldn't you know, they don't have a the nutritional information for their foods :(  So, I am going to have to take a wild wild guess !

Wish me luck on my new adventure to loose weight !

Wordless Wednesday - Pounds lost !

Loose ...

My shorts are LOOSE!!!! I am soo excited!!! I actually checked the scale and I have lost 2 lbs !!!!  This is a good motivator !!!

I have ran 10 days ... I am trying to eat better and keep track of my calories ... I downloaded an App for my iphone called Lose It .. it helps you keep track of your calories.. and best of all IT'S FREE !!! 

 

Workout Day #9

Well, I did a little over 2 miles. It was tough to get motivated!!!

Workout Day # 7

Today I did a little over 3 miles. Again listening to an audiobook. I was naughty and had ice cream this afternoon from Sonic :)

Workout Day #6

Today was day #6.

I was determined today to get some working out in!!! I did 3 miles (on the treadmill). I find it odd that I go longer when I am listening to an audio book than when I listen to music -- Whatever works I guess!!

I am beginning to like the way I feel after I workout. I have more energy and feel more motivated to get things done around the house. I also seem to want to eat healthier foods.

Workout day #4

Day 4 -- afternoon -- went for a 1 1/2 mile walk... I was very motivated today, hopefully tomorrow will be better !!!

Workout!

I got a call from my DR the other day and he said I have HIGH CHOLESTEROL :( I have decided to start eating better and working out. I need alot of motivation to keep up a workout routine, so I spent $29.00 and got the Nike+ Sport Kit. I got and got it all set up and went upstairs to the treadmill and tried it out... I did 1/2 first (had to answer the phone)... anyway, a made a mini (you can see to the left). Let me tell you Miss Mini is a bitch!!! She is a little annoying, saying I/she is a couch potato, ect. I decided I would go run some more, so I did a mile... thinking that would make her happy, but NO.. she is still talking smack ! Thanks Dawn for convincing me to make her and I even have her as my screensaver (thanks again Dawn).

Since I am a techie kind of person, I am hoping this will keep me somewhat motivated.
