Weigh-In

Even after derailing a bit over the weekend, I had a great weigh-in this morning!

Starting: 186.6

Last Week: 186.6

This Week: 184.1

Total Lost: -2.5

I am hoping to be at 180 by October 1st for my brother's wedding so that my bridesmaid dress will fit a little better, and the rate I am going, that won't be a problem.  I just need to make sure I keep making smart, nutritional food choices and keep tackling my workout schedule.

Mon: 30 minute walk
Tues: C25K W1D1 & volleyball subbing
1.70 miles in 20:01
Wed: Hike in NG park

Sun: C25K W1D3

Tonight, I have a hiking dinner picnic planned for me and Nick.  It's a date night "surprise" for Nick and I am super excited!

Weekly Goals

Welcome to a new week!

Sun: C25K W1D3

I was hoping to extend the motivation I had during the middle of the week throughout the weekend, but that didn't quite happen.  We had a get together at our house Saturday evening so they earlier part of the day was spent cleaning and cooking.  I didn't get out for a walk, but I did do about an hour of yard work.  I may have imbibed a bit much at our party, so most of Sunday was spent recovering.  I didn't run, but I did get back outside for another 2 hours of yard work.  Based on how sore I am today, the yard work was still a great workout!

Even after 3 hours of weeding and digging up random, ugly plants, Nick and I still have a TON of yard work to do.  We bought a new house in June, and are just now getting to cleaning up the yard.  The previous owners were slobs and did not take every good care of the house or yard so we have a lot of catch up to do.  The flower beds are all over grown and the hedges and trees need trimming.  We are slowly making progress, and by next spring, it will be beautiful!

Moving onto this week, here is my workout schedule, and goals.

Mon: 30 minute walk
Tues: C25K W1D1 & volleyball subbing
Since I didn't complete the week last week, I'm starting over.  No moving on until I finish the week!
Wed: Hike in NG park
Thurs: Volleyball
Fri: C25K W1D2
Sat: Stretch
Sun: C25K W1D3

Goal 1: Finish all workouts
Goal 2: Get 12,000+ steps in each day
Goal 3: Stay under 1800 calorie goal each day

Winner Winner

Yahoo! We won!

I am in a volleyball league and our first game was last night.  Team WILSON! took home a win and won all three sets of the match.  Great start to the season!

Even though I am only on day 3 of my journey, I am already feeling really great.  I have been eating well, and getting at least 12,000 steps each day.  This morning, I may have peeked at the scale, and I am already down 3+lbs, mostly from cleaning up my nutrition!

Weekends are always a struggle, but hopefully I can keep this momentum going the next few days.

Happy weekend, everyone!

Workout Schedule

Last night, I started C25K because I need to get back into running.  To need to run for my health, and my sanity.

I plan on trucking along with the C25K until running begins to feel a littler easier again.  Right now, 60 sec run/90 sec walk intervals are perfect. 

Here is my workout plan for the rest of the week:

Wed: C25K W1D1

Thurs: Volleyball

Fri: C25K W1D2

Sat: 30 minute walk

Sun: C25K W1D3

So glad to be back!

Starting again, again

Starting over, again.

I have failed at fitness and blogging a few times now, but I keep coming back because I miss it.  

I miss writing and sharing my thoughts.  I miss the accountability.  I just miss it.

Unfortunately, I am coming back about 10lbs heavier than the last time I started over, again.

I weighed in this morning at 186.6.

The 180s are currently the bane of my existence, but I am the only one that can get myself out.

My brother is getting married October 1st, and I am in the bridal party.  Our bridesmaid dresses are a stretchy material, thank goodness, but my dress is still a bit snug for comfort.  I only have 24 days, but my main goal is to get my nutrition under control and start working out again.  

In 24 days, I CAN accomplish a lot.  Hopefully, I can get down to 180 and feel completely comfortable in my bridesmaid dress.

Cheers to starting again.  Starting anew.  Starting.
