Yea!

Okay, so starting Monday, Husby and I are back on the WW plan.  I didn't weigh-in until today for previously mentioned reasons.  I'm thinking Thursday might be my new weigh-in day.

To be honest, I thought I would be up 2-5 pounds, but as it turned out, I am actually down a slight amount.  Yea!  Apparently all the working out does help!!  I have now been to three GTS classes, and each time, they totally kick my butt!  Yesterday, I walked/ran 4 miles in a little under an hour (58 minutes and change to be more exact).  I felt good and felt even better when I got on the Wii today.  I really didn't believe the Wii, but the upstairs scale agreed, so I guess it's true ... I'm back on the weight-losing, feeling-better train.  Woo-hoo!

Working into it ...

We started WW again this week, but Miss P has a birthday this week, so all will probably be lost for the next few days, but March is my month!!  I have not real excuse not to hit it hard, and I've started a GTS class at the Y.  I will only go once a week for a bit, then may hit it a little harder before the big June day (sis's wedding).   My first class was on Monday, and I'm still sore today (Thursday).  

I also need to start hitting the mileage!  With the class, at least for the next five weeks, I won't be able to do much walking/running on Mondays, so I can save some time for child care in the evenings, if needed.  I almost have 50 miles in ... still a lot to go, and only 10 more months to go.  That's 40 miles a month!!! I'd better get a move on it!!

As far as a weigh-in ... haven't done one for a bit.  Party don't want to know, partly haven't found a good day to do it.  I don't want to do it Monday or Tuesday mornings, as I don't get a full night's sleep.  Sundays are getting rather rushed, so I may switch to Thursdays or Fridays.  I'll have to see what works.  I probably should have jumped on the Wii this morning, but I had to make some birthday waffles!!

Update

I've updated my distance tracker. For the month of January ... just a little more than 25 miles. Obviously to make my goal, I will have to get more miles in most months, but all things considered, this was a good start to my goal.

To assist with my goal, I have purchased a new pair of running shoes. I was really impressed with them in the store, but didn't have that same excitement after running in them yesterday. Maybe it was because I pushed myself a bit. I highly doubt it was the shoes. They are top quality!

I also weighed myself this morning, and I'm right at 40 pounds loss. This is good, as this is a good place to get going again. Of course, I followed this weigh-in with left-over pizza, but it needs to get eaten, right? I think this will be my last week of "easing" back into reality. I know we keep saying this, but really we've got to jump in with two feet and do it!

Ohh ... I got some Hungry Girl cookbooks for Christmas. One my new favorite things ... frozen banana slices with a dollop of frozen sugar-free pudding on top. Yummy!!

GRRR

Van is in the shop, so I can't get to the Y. The family room is one Lego shy of being declared a disaster area. Working out today is not looking good, so more than likely, I won't get in anymore mileage this week. Bummer! Do you think picking up the little guy M counts?? :-D

New Ticker

Did you see my new ticker? This way I can keep track of where I am at each week, when I weigh-in. See, two goals, one blog. Don't look now, I may be mulit-tasking.

I did it

I got back on the scale. It actually wasn't too bad. I am up about 2.5 pounds, which means I'm now just shy of my original goal again. No worries, starting today, we're back on WW. Snow days and weekend through off our original plans. :-)

First of the Year News

So, I haven't blogged anything lately, but here's a little something ...

As far as the One-Year Goal, I have reached my goal (plus or minus a little vacation poundage; I haven't been on the scale yet). However, I want to continue to lose weight and make healthy choices for our family. To this end, I am planning to get back on track with Weight Watchers this week. Thursday, to be exact!

Dear Husby has decided that Sundays are not good weigh-in days. As you may recall, he didn't like to weigh in at all, much less after the weekend. So, Thursdays it is. I will weigh-in on Thursday morning and begin to work off any gained weight and then work toward shedding another 40 pounds.

I also have a fitness goal: 450 miles! I plan to continue to work out about three times a week, and I am going to log my miles and work toward 450 miles. As of today: 2 miles; 448 to go!
