Monday Motivation

I agree with all of these things but where is the time to do them?  I am thinking I need to put this into my schedule just like I would any activity.
I will try it this week and see if it works.

Sunday Weigh In

After sticking my head in the sand for almost two weeks, I weighed in at 265.8.  I was at 268 the other day so this was ok.  I am trying to get back into a cycle but it is so difficult if you are not thinking of the best choice all the time.
So, today was 265 and that was what I could do so I am accepting.

Funny Friday

Friday is a cheat day, right?

Treading Thursday

No matter where I am in the world, if it is Thursday, I should be doing a treading class.
That is my law.
20-30 minutes of intervals.
I started last week and I am going to do it - great way to start the day and burn off a ton of calories!

One month until the half marathon!

My physio decided a 6km this weekend was what I should aim for - accomplished.
Next weekend will be 12km!  Ugh.
The following weekend will be 15km.
Why did I think this was a good idea?

Accomplished the 6km without too much trouble.
Things I need to do:
 - new half marathon play list PRIORITY
 - more mid week small runs

Monday Motivation

I needed a pick me up so I did some searching and came up with this.  I am going to do all of these today!!!

Sunday Weigh In

I have had an ALMOST perfect week.
Stayed to my tracking.
Ate small managable breakfast and lunches.
Saved my calories for dinner.
Had two drinks all week.
Exercised 5 times including:
 - 6km run
 - 2km run
 - 20 minutes of interval treading
 - 2 body weight workouts

I gained 2.5 pounds.

I have a call with Heather tomorrow and I really need it.
grrrrrrrr........

Funny Friday

Run like Ryan Reynolds is waiting for you at the finish.
Or anywhere!

Smaller brekkie is changing my life

I am trying to stick to a ~1700 calorie/day goal.  500-600 calories per meal and 100 calories for my treat at night.  But I had a bit of a revelation while I was in Delavan.  I am pretty regimented when it comes to having my PB2 smoothie while I am there.  Davey told me to take out the honey (which I did and it took out 20 calories) so I was having about an 182 calorie breakfast everyday. 

My normal lunch would be a sandwich or salad around 500 calories.  That left SO MANY calories for the tough part of the day. Heather and I had discussed this so many times - the end of the day is the tough bit.  So I planned on when I when I got back to Melbourne to change things around to an under 200 calorie brekkie (breakie bar) and then have my lovely breakfast for lunch.  I LOVE this and it feels like a real treat!

Oatmeal or eggs for lunch - YUM!!!!  And healthy.
If I go to my normal cafe at 11:30, they still serve breakfast then.  And, I am a little hungrier if I only have 180 calories for breakfast - I am ready for lunch at 11:30. So far the scale likes what I am doing so lets see.

Other things besides the run

I was reading an article about how to keep the boredom away and they recommended other types of classes and taking different paths.  So, yes, I think I need to find some classes and start going.  (Tim - I don't want to do that water class but maybe I will.) grrrrr......

My friend running group is already pretty great about finding new paths so that may be a new thing.  Maybe we need to do the Park Run at other places - but we have to get up early. :(

Lesson - I need to start getting up earlier and knocking out a workout.

Monday Motivation

There are so many things I need to do to be motivated but the number one is what am I going to do about the half marathon?  I really want to participate.  My ankles are awful.

Today is about a fresh start.  I will try and do 5km and walk two songs and run one.  I need to get some kms up there!  Just need to get and stay motivated and not quit!!!!

Sunday Weigh In

I know it seems crazy but very happy to be 263.4.  It is better than 266.6 which is what I was when I got back from Hawaii on Wednesday.  And it is WAY better than 272 which is what I was when I originally went to fat camp. I'm celebrating the good.  Since I've been back I have not been perfect.  (Friday I had a sassy lunch and went to the footy.)  But I was back to good yesterday and I know I can do this.  Yea 263.
