Week 4 & 5
Well weeks four and five are not going as planned either. This just isn't panning out well!!! grrrr!!! but I do have a good excuse this time. Just won't tell ya what it is because it's personal! :) So I am not continuing to run, but I am continuing to walk. I would like to try and walk daily...at least 30 minutes. I should be able to do this seeing as I only have ONE job to work over the summer months!!!!
I have not weighed myself lately...keep forgetting and then I eat breakfast. So i shall try tomorrow to weigh myself to see how I maintained over my vacation. I did succeed in my not stopping for fast food burgers and fries while travelling! Packing a lunch certainly helped that! Woohoo for small victories!!
Until next week....

Week Three
ugh...so I have not been so great this week.
I had a medical issue that made it extremely painful to do my regular running. I also find that when I am sulking in my pain I eat too much!!! So this week I am up. I now have 7.2lbs to reach my closest 10s group.
I am also going on vacation this week (home to the Sault), so I am hoping that I don't overindulge up there and come back needing to lose 10 lbs!!!!! I am bringing my iPod and shoes and going to try and do Week Two of the C25K program again. I am also planning ahead and packing a lunch for the trip so that when I get hungry at lunch time I have a healthy lunch and don't have to resort to the regular Wendy's/Tim Horton's that are the only rest stops.
So, this week I plan to run 3 times, attempt to eat more veggies and not go overboard on the sweet little indulgences in life... wish me luck!

Week Two
Oh dear...oh dear...well not a good way to start a post!! :) I have "lost" .5lbs this week...or maybe lol :) Well today I have probably gained it plus back. Being a teacher and the last days of school treats are in no short supply!!! So needless to say, my "starting over" from this week will need to happen again!!!!!
So I am going to try it all again, re-determine my willingness and hope that my hubby doesn't parade Dairy Queen in my face again!!!!
So for this week I will continue on the 5.2lbs weight loss, continue with the C25K program (btw on W2D2 tomorrow) and swim at least 3 times or bike ride if swimming not an option.
I shall check back!!

Setbacks
Well this email I received could NOT have come at a better time. I just weighed myself and I am up...gulp...I haven't made the best choices this week and haven't been as committed to the working out...so why am I surprised? But this is just the reminder I needed. It is from Jillian Michaels (of the Biggest Loser and Losing It).

Overcoming a Setback
It happens — you miss a few workouts and you feel like you've fallen off the weight-loss wagon. It's tempting to mentally slap yourself around, right? (Or head for the fridge.) Before you start, I want to remind you of something: Being hard on yourself is the Old You.
The New You knows how to deal with setbacks and get back on the wagon. And after all, there are no mistakes, just learning experiences. Weight loss is a process — it takes time. You will encounter small failures — everyone does — but every pound you gain can be lost.
And if you miss a workout, it's not the end of the world! Get to the gym the next day and continue to focus on your short-term goals. Just because you made bad choices today doesn't mean you can't start over tomorrow. New day? New beginning. And don't you forget it!

Week One
I have heard many times from different weight loss people that you can always hit the restart button. So today...Monday June 21, 2010 I am hitting my reset button. I will (try) to post every week with my pounds lost and what I did that week to make myself proud.
So this week my first goal is to lose the 5.6 pounds it will take for me to get to the next lowest 10s category. I am not giving myself a week to do this, I am going to be flexible. I will try my darndest, but if i miss I will reevaluate my time line!
So this week I plan to start my 5.6 lbs weight loss, I plan to do three 30 minute walk/runs, and 3 times on the Wii fit OR Workout video. I will let you know how I did on my Week Two post :)
Keep Fit!
