Day 22 Picture Day

Weight: 198 lbs.
Again, sitting in the 198 zone, but yesterday, I followed a new path. According to an article, sometimes your body needs a protein boost in the mornings to improve weight loss. So, yesterday, I had eggs with some cheese. It got me past the 199, so here is to hoping.
So- I am taking the advise and trying to add more good calories to my diet. It is hard when I am full, but maybe back to 5-6 meals a day will help.... so Day 23 will be a start to that.
After the rain (1.5 inches) we received last night, today is looking to be a nice cooler day to take a walk with the kids or something along that line.
Something that I have noticed with the pictures today, the front view, my legs aren't as far apart when I stand. So were I don't think my legs look better, they actually do if I stood with them that far apart as Day 1. NICE.

Day 1
Day 22

Day 1

Day 22

I have decided that overcast mornings make for crap pictures. I will have to figure something out for next week.

Day 21 - need some encouragement

I am 3 weeks in, and I have been sitting at 198-199 for 7 days! SO tired of this crap. It is hard to keep motivated when the weight doesn't show it. I know that my biking, running, walking hasn't happened this week. But that doesn't mean I am not working out. Chasing kids, 4 hours of labor outside in 90+ degrees, up and down stairs multiple times a day, you get the idea. I am hoping that the pictures tomorrow show change where the scale does not.

So, the wind was so bruttle, that when someone walked on the south side of you, you got their mud blow onto you. LOL!! Hubby get go through a few times and didn't get stuck every time.

So, yesterday there were a couple "interesting" photos that I shot.

The guy that hit him admitted that he looked down and when traffic stop for someone to turn, he slammed in my dads pretty new truck. This guys truck is more than likely totaled, while dad's is still to be determined.

Day 1
Day 2- apparently I need to go over how to take the SAME picture with the Hubby.
The Big Exciting News: Part 1
Last night, I friend of mine and I traveled down to Wichita (20 minutes) and attended a informational meeting. After said meeting, we both joined the group. We are going to be joining the local GO RUN store running group called START2FINISH. So up to 2 times a week, we will be running a training problem set by the store. Training program?? For what?? Well you will have to wait a little longer that that answer too. But know, that I am now part of a 500 person group!!!

Day 7

I have a bad headache today, I am talking "I NEED CAFFEINE!!" Kind of headache. A week ago, I would just drive to Sonic and get a 44oz Cherry Coke. Today, I can't do that. So, I have been looking for alternatives.... like Iced Non-fat Caramel Latte. Yumm and Helpful. :)

Also, the Hubby is on the rampage. Believe me, this diet has me grumpy too. But many just tired. I can't wait for my body to get in the GO mode. Anyway- he is an unsatisfied by everything Hubby the last couple days. I know this will get worse before it gets better. I just keep trying to "let it go". ( maybe that is why I am so tired?)

LittleMan and I spent a little time this morning cleaning my Tahoe inside and out. He is such a good little helper. (even if mommy has to go back over it after him, at least he was entertained.)

Still awaiting that additional news to my "Finding myself again" plan??? Don't worry, It will be in tomorrow's blog!!

Day 6 - slight movement again

Pizza- yep- I had a slice of Mushroom/Spinach Pizza last night. Just one slice, but it was GOOD. Knowing that one slice was 220 calories all by its little self... bummer. But hey, I handled just the one slice while I watched the hubby get a slice and a half (men) and my kids get 3 pieces between them. Pizza, how I love there. And how I am SOOOO EXTREMELY GLAD that we don't live in Chicago right now. I would never survive not getting a great deep dish and all those calories! My mouth just salivates thinking about it.

Today, I took my BigGirl to school and realized that she only had 9 school days left before summer break. WOW!! And then Swim club starts that next week! Softball has already started practices for her. So she will be busy and happy. Just how she likes it, just like her mommy.

Day 5 --- wth?!

So, here we are, Day 5. And what do I have to show on the scale today?? NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING. What the?! Did I miss something here? I ran off my entire lunch and I have nothing to show for that.
Ok- breathing now.... not helping but trying.
Next rant: I biked 0.3 miles more today than I ran yesterday- in half the time too. And how many calories does that give me? 148. What?!
Now, I know that running is more of a workout, but it is still sad to see 600 calorie burnt difference.
I know, you are all thinking that I am being a whinner. And well, hell yes I am! I want need to drop this weight in a pace that keeps me from going to depression mood.
So, one step forward... or maybe a freakin' huge leap multiple times FOREVER.

OK
Right
Forward

So this Wednesday, I will be taking the next step in "finding myself again". Do you want to know what it is?!
Do ya!?!
Well- bummer, you are going to have to check back later in the week to find out.
I know, I suck. Blah blah blah.

NEXT!

So, I did get 3.5 miles in yesterday. The first mile was great! 10 minute mile?! WHAT?! I don't do those. (I am a regular 11- 11:30 minute miler. So Mile 2, not so bad, first third is down hill. Second third is up hill, where my legs started to scream. But luckily, I had a nice 4 minute wait on a Train. (this is a sadly MORE THAN AVERAGE normal event in our town. The tracks go right through the middle of town at an angle. And more than 33 trains have been counted in a 24 hour period. In fact, last night on the drive back home from my folks, we were waiting on a train, when it stopped and let another train go by from the opposite directions. Then it starts back up and move on too. Like I said, regular event.) So, the remainder of mile 3 was uneventful. Not great, not bad. And by the time I had 3/4 of a mile left, I was moving alright again. So, first decent run in months, completed.

On to the layout today

Breakfast:
1 serving Active Cereal and 1 banana - 230 calories (I know, I am getting boring here-but this cereal is yum)
Lunch:
1 fried egg, 2 slices cracked wheat bread, 2 slices tomato, serving lettuce, 1 Tbsp Mayo - 260 calories
Snack:
2 oz Chocolate Fudge and 1 chocolate chip cookie- 396 calories
Dinner:
1 slice DiGorno Mushroom Spinach Pizza and 1 yoplait - 320 calories
Exercise:
3.8 miles (at 10 mph) for 23 minutes - 148 calories

Total Intake: 1206
Total Burnt: 128

Stay tuned.....................

Day 4

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

I received 2 handmade cards from my kiddos today. (BigGirl did all the writing for LittleMan)
I spent my usual Sunday morning taking care of others babies in the infant room and church nursery, I enjoyed driving 20 minutes to Wichita to have Chipolte for my mother's day lunch (don't worry, you will see the info below and it is not bad), I came home and watched a movie, ran 3.5 miles to my folks house to dinner (where my family meet me and I did get a shower before we ate) and now I am home. Getting ready to enjoy the remainder of a movie I didn't get to finish before hitting the hay.

So lets get to what you really came here for....

Breakfast:
1 Banana and 1 serving Active Lifestyle Cereal with Skim Milk - 230 calories

64 oz H2O

Total Intake: 1312 Calories

New things:
*My folks/grandparents have now watched me go through their trash to check calories on used containers.
*My folks/grandparents have seen what a less than 500 calorie dinner plate looks like.
~I think this is a helpful thing!
*The Hubby is hoping that the "look at the big guy, and say 'there is plenty left if you want more' multiple times" will stop sooner than later. I hope it does too.
*After 8pm snacks are still hard, but have found that Trident Gum is helping me a bit.

Now, back to the remainder of my evening!
