20.4 pounds!

Yes, I am down to 158! Excited but I still need to lose 33 more pounds. I bought a Bodybugg on Craigslist. I steal at 25 dollars for a brand new one with a 3 month subscription. I just put it on at 2, so I am wanting to see what my calorie burn looks like. I have not worked out since I ran on Sunday. Kellen has been sick. He just went back to preschool today and I woke up sick. I have a headache, sore throat, my stomach is feeling off and I am getting chills. If I am sick, hopefully I will lose 5 pounds or so! I was planning on having a leftover chili burrito, but they only think that sounds good is a Mocha from Starbucks, so I may just have that for dinner. Lee is gone, so no need to cook. Eating today- Apple bar from TJ's and 1/2 of a Plantar's antioxidant bar lunch- 1 piece of pepperoni pizza from Domino's Dinner- probably just a mocha, so I will be under my 1200 calories.

I ran today!

It was so awesome to run- I have not run since October, when I broke my foot. I only ran 1.5 miles, then walked a mile. My foot did not hurt, I hope it does not hurt tomorrow. I wore Lee's heart rate monitor- I need to get my own since I can't figure out a way to put my height/weight in. Lee's is in, so the calorie burn is not correct. But it was very motivating to keep track of the calories burned. I must be out of shape, because my heart rate was so high. 182 average on the run, up to 199 when I was running up hill. Here is my diet today- Breakfast- English muffin with 1 egg and 1/2 an ounce of cheddar Lunch- One piece Bacon Cheeseburger pizza and a 1/2 a piece of Smore's pizza Dinner- Bowl of chili made with 93% hamburger and lots of beans. 1 T light sour cream and 1/2 an ounce of cheese. I also had 6 saltine crackers- Snack- 100 calories worth of jelly beans. Total for today is 1350

I was too sore to work on Friday

but I did 30 Day Shred again this morning. My right forearm is so sore, very strange. I know my left arm is stronger than my right, because that is the arm I always carry Lila and her car seat with, but still! Here is my eating today English muffin - 1/2 with 1 tsp butter and the other 1/2 with 1/1 T natural pb Lunch- 4 fish sticks and 1 serving Alexia sweet potato puffs Dinner- 1 piece of thin crust Bacon Cheeseburger pizza from Papa Murphy's. Snacks- A few cookies I made for Lee to take to a poker night he is going to tonight. I am at 1320 for the day. Everything I read says 30 day shred burns about 200 calories, so I should be good. I lost no weight this week, which sucks because I worked out 4 times! If I don't lose any weight next week, I guess I will stop working out.

30 Day Shred Done!

And I liked it. I did Level 1, and I could do just about everything. I can only do 15 pushups(girly ones because I have a herniated disk in my back) at a time so I couldn't finish each set of pushups since you do 20 or 25. My legs are tired, I am afraid I am going to be too sore to do it tomorrow. But I am definitely going to do it this weekend. I don't know that I will do it on the days I got to the gym, we'll see. Eating today- Breakfast- coffee and apple breakfast bar After workout snack- 1/2 a Nature Valley Protein bar and some veggie sticks Lunch- Turkey sandwich with avocado on a deli flat Dinner- Beer can chicken, half a baked potato, and a half ear of corn. I bought a wine cube of red wine at Target today and I really want a glass of it with dinner. I think on the days that I work out, I am going to go up to 1350 calories or so. I have been losing on 1200 not working out, so I should be able to eat a little more. Kellen wants to go to the library after preschool today, so that should add another 10-15 minutes to my walk, so I should get about a 45 minute walk in.

Worked out again!

I am so happy to be back in the gym. I feel like more of myself being active, it is hard to explain. I love listening to my IPod and reading US Weekly. I did 45 on the ellipitical and abs again. Tomorrow I am doing my first day of 30 Day Shred and and it is going to be in the 60's and I think I will walk up to preschool to pick Kellen up from preschool. That will take me about 35 min round trip. I ate 1300 cal today which I good since I an starving when I leave the gym.

Back at the gym!

I got my boot off last week. My foot is not 100% but much better. I went to the gym yesterday and did 45 min on the elliptical and abs. My legs are sore today but my foot does not hurt. I plan to start 30 Day Shred on March 1, which I guess in Thursday. Gulp!

I need to be better about posting here. Last week week was V day and Lee's birthday. Birthday season is over at our house, so I will be cheating less!
I have l lost 19 pounds since November. I must not look like it because the only people that have commented are my Grandparents. We are going to Houlihans tonight and I am getting filet mignon and creme brûlée. I was on my period this week so I am happy with a 1 pound loss.
