Getting Back on Track

It's Monday. I was hesitant to weigh myself. I did. I gained a pound. I am not defeated. Bummed out, but I really did bring it on myself. It's ok!! I will just do AWESOME this week!! I know I can. I know I said my goal was to not gain weight but the holiday weekend threw me a curve ball. Oh well. I will do better! I am excited. This week is my birthday too...on Friday. But at least I can work out hard allll week long!! And then I won't go crazy over the weekend! Here's to another week!!!

Thanksgiving

Today is Sarturday!!! It has been a great thanksgiving weekend! I went to the gym wed and did 30 min elliptical and then started my C25K training, I didn't get through it!! :( It felt pretty defeating. I got about 3/4 of the way through before my ankles started hurting too bad and I thought that it would be a good idea to not keep going. If nothing on my body were hurting so bad I would have kept going, but I could tell that something just wasn't. I figured that in the long run I would rather avoid a bad injury and still be able to work out, than have an injury and have to stop for good for a while. It really bummed me out thought. I felt like a failure. Even though I know that I am still doing great. Mon, Tue, and Wed, were great....then thanksgiving came! I did great on thanksgiving but the rest of this weekend it feel like It's a free for all. No worries. I will get back on track monday!! Anyways, That's all I got for today. We are speaking in church tomorrow, and I am going out to take the Austin's family pictures today. I am excited for it, but also nervous...I hope they turn out well.

11/23

Zumba tonight. It was good. Calli went with me. I think this was the first week I started to feel kind of like I knew what I was doing. It was good!!

For breakfast this morning I made a really good fruit smoothie! mmm
Lunch I juiced....so I had a large cup of veggie juice, and that pretty much filled me up so I layed down when mayli layed down for her nap. When we woke up (which wasnt much later) i had like 2 ritz crackers and a couple handfuls of peanuts. For dinner I had one small chicken croissant, cottage cheese and peaches, and some green beans! That's all I had all day, which I am really proud of because when we were out and about I just about stopping somewhere and grabbing something quick and I didnt! sooo good!!

I WILL lose weight this week. Exceot I am a little bit nervous about my ankles, they are really sore. I dont know if I should keep running on them or not. It feels like I rolled them or sprained them or something. I want to run and finish soooooo bad! I dont want to give up at all. I will keep pushing through it and see how it goes, but I dont want to make anything worse :( Bummer, I guess we'll just see how it goes.

11/22/10

I went to the Gym Yesterday!! Obviously. I was going to go first things in the morning bet I slept in a little bit, and Mayli had a Dr. appointment at 10:15, so I decided to wait until after that to go to the gym. I was nervous about how she would do at the gym because she had gotten a shot at the Dr's. She was soooo excited to see the girls at the gym. I am glad she is loving it more and more!

My workout was great! I did 30min on the elliptical and then my C25K training, which was the rest of my cardio. I was sooo nervous for this week of it because it seemed way more intense than previous weeks. I just made sure that I stretched really good because I didnt want anything to go wrong. I did a 5 minute warm up walk, and then two repetitions of: jog 90 seconds/ walk 90 seconds, then jog 3 minutes/ walk 3 minutes. ... I had to go through that twice! I was soo nervous. I seriously didn't think I was going to be able to make it. Honestly, I don't know if I've EVER run for 3 minutes straight. Pathetic, but true. The good news is, I DID IT!! I pushed through it and did it! I was sooo proud of myself for not quitting! It was hard, but it was also do-able and I didn't die. The wierd thing is, is that my ankles are really hurting. The first two weeks they didn't hurt at all but now they are. I hope it goes away.

In other news, I juiced for my little fam. We had it with our lunch. It was 2 celery, 2 carrotts, and 2 Apples. Colin and I thought it was sooo good....but so did Mayli! She loved it! I am excited to start eating better and having healthier options for my family! Cheers! here's to Skinny Ginny!

Monday Weigh in...

So I woke up and got on the scale this morning first thing. My weight was 192.6!! That's 3 lbs I lost last week!! woo hoo. Bringing my total up to 8 lbs. It is cool how it is really starting to add up now. I am so excited. YAY!!!

Here's to Thanksgiving week!!

New Week

Going on Week 4!!! I am really excited! I think this will be another great week. I can't wait to weight myself tomorrow to see what happens....Hopefully it will turn out good.

Today steph said that she could see it a little bit in my face, and that it looked a little thinner. Woohoo! The tough thing about this week though is that it it Thanksgving week. But now worries, I still have it under control. I will pull through it and STILL have a weight loss! I know it. I am sooo motivated! This week will start my third week of my C25K training. I hope my joints last! seriously.

Week Goals

* Don't Eat after 6:30

* Cardio 60 Minutes every day

* C25K week 3

* Drink all my water

* Encorporate more vegetables

This week I really want to start using the juicer to juice veggies. I have heard that with juicing you can see amazing results!!! Also, my friend sandi was telling me that when she was juicing...it was the best and most fit she has ever felt. She said it gave her so much energy as well! I am really really excited! yay. Also, calli and I are going to start Jillian Michaels 30 day shred starting tomorrow. It will be great!!!

Well, Here's to another week!

Jeans

Thurs was a great work out day. I did the elliptical for 60 minutes. Friday was good too. I did my C25K training and the elliptical for another 30minutes. The running is getting a little bit easier, but I feel like it really grinds on my bones. I think it should get easier, and I think I need to stretch more before I start to run. I don't want to get tendinitis or shin splints! I still jog pretty slow, but at least I push myself to get through the whole thing. There was this older lady who was running laps around me. I felt like a wimp, but then remembered I was just starting out, and she had probably been running her whole life.

In other news I got the stinkin CUTEST jeans!!! I am sooo excited for them! They have cute rhinestones on them...they make me feel pretty and sexy! They werent a celebration buy...like I didnt drop a pant size, but more of a .... I need cute pants WHILE im in the process of losing weight, buy. I seriously have NO cute jeans...and with the winter months coming I justified it. But i hopefully will only be able to wear them through december. Kind of dumb to buy new jeans, but at the same time...I LOVE them! Oh well. They make me feel good. And that's what matters right now!!

I'm going on the weekend....I think I did really good this week! I ate more veggies....I hardly had ANY sweets...the only thing I had as far as junk food/ sweets go was a little mini kit kat...weekends i think are the hardest. I do great all week long and then the weekend comes. But this weekend I have done great so far!! Junk food is really less and less of a temptation! I hope when I do my weigh in monday I will have lost more than just a pound. I think I have!! woot woot.
