1350

I am over today because of a glass of wine. I took the kids to the zoo with a friend today so I did a lot of walking.

1350 all week

I think I need to be posting everyday, because I am definitely eating too much. If I can be at 1200 tops, I will definitely be losing faster. And Easter is this weekend at our house, and I will making carrot cake and mac and cheese, huge weaknesses for me. Tuesday night I ran 2 miles. I wanted to run more, but my foot was starting to hurt. Yesterday I took hatha yoga and today piyo. I made an appt with a trainer for Tuesday afternoon so I am excited about that. Today- Breakfast burrito. Then I had a slight binge and had a kids clif Z bar for 110 calories, string cheese and some baked ruffles. Lunch was cilantro rice, black beans, cheese, avocado and sour cream. Homemade burrito bowl. I also had about a third of the soft taco that I made Lila. That girl can eat! I wish I could be in the 25% and eat like her! Dinner- I am making 7up and sour cream biscuits (so good) and white chicken chili. I only have 275 calories left for dinner - darn big! I will be going over again. Oh, and I am down to 154.6. I want to get down to the 140's by May 1.

155

Yesterday I weighed 155. I am hoping to be down to 153 by Friday. Saturday I are right at 1200 calories. Yesterday I was good until we decided to get frozen yogurt after dinner, so I ended the day at 1350. I did not run this weekend since I am letting my foot rest. I am hoping to run one day this week and this weekend. I am planning on going to yoga 3-4 times this week. Something great about that is that yoga does not make me hungry! I am really sore after a workout, and definitely building muscle, but I can watch my calories close. When I workout at the gym, I am starving afterward and that's when I can down 400 calories of pita chips and hummes!

Staying the same

I was down to 154 on Wed but I am back up to 156 this week. I am right at 1200 today, but may have a glass of wine to help me sleep since Lee will be home late. I read that wine helps your body release fat so I shouldn't feel bad! I went to hatha yoga today, piyo yesterday and tomorrow I am going to pilates. I have been sore everyday. My foot is a little bit sore, but not too bad.

I have been royally screwing up

I had a bad week last week, I don't think I ate under 1400 the whole week, and lost no weight. I am still at 156. I would really like to get down to 154 by Sunday. That would be my 5 pounds for March. I did work out a lot last week. I ran twice - I am up to 2.5 miles, and I went to 3 yoga/pilates class. One class was Power Core Yoga at 7:30 am Sat morning. It was really hard and 90 minutes long! Lots of jumps and planks. After running the next day, my foot is sore. I rested yesterday and am going to take a pilates class tonight. Lee and I went out to dinner at J. Beans restaurant in Longview Saturday night and I got Italian Nachos, which I love. Then we sat on the deck and drank margaritas and Lee snapped a pic of my to test out the flash on his new iphone. It was awful, so I have it as the screen saver on my Ipod touch, which is wear I put in my calories through My fitness pal. So it has been motivating to look at the picture! I spent about 100 dollars on new workout clothes last week so now I feel better when I am working out. It has been pretty warm here, and I have no clothes to wear. My fat clothes from last summer are too big (thank God) and the normal clothes are too tight. I went shopping last night and bought 5 shirts. Sadly, this will probably be the only clothes I wear/buy until I lose the rest of the weight. I really want some capris, but I do not want to wear a 10/12. If I can lose just 10 more pounds, than I will be able to fit into the my fat clothes from after having my first baby. Kinda sad. I was at 1195 yesterday and today I hopefully will end at 1200. Breakfast was an english muffin with 1 T of almond butter (my new addiction) Lunch was a turkey sandwich with avocado on a sandwich thin and a babybel cheese round. Snack- Milky Way caramel bunny- 150 cal ( It was free, I couldn't resisit) Dinner- Chicken Caesar salad Lee grilled chicken on Sunday, and I have him grill extra. Last night I made BBQ chicken quesadillas with it, and tonight we are having it on salads.

Working out

I have not posted in a while because I have had 2 sick kids and then got sick myself. I couldn't bring the kids to the gym and didn't feel like doing 30 Day Shred. But I have ran 3 times since Friday, and I went to yoga with my friend Carrie last night. We are going to Piyo in the morning. I bought a 30 day pass, so I am going to try to go at least 2-3 times a week. I really love yoga - ideally I would like to run and do yoga. That's it! Lila is on one nap a day, for now anyway, so I should be able to get to the gym more in the mornings. I have been over my calories the last week few days. I am on my period so I know I won't be losing weight anyway. Probably not the best thinking. Plus I am hungry because of the working out! I ran with my new Polar heart rate monitor today. My heart rate is really high when I run- an average of 185. No wonder I am out of breath going up hills- it got up to 192. But I burned 400 calories during my run and cool down walk of 1/2 a mile. Lila's bday is this weekend, so I am sure I will have my pic taken, so I will try to post an updated pic.

156

I am down 2 more pounds, mostly because I have been sick. I have a cold and a cough and food just does not sound good. I have been eating breakfast and usually dinner, and that is all. No working out the last week, I have had sick kids too.
