2 Months from B-Day

So yesterday marked exactly 2 months from my birthday. The goal is to lose 10lbs, which is definitely possible. I started the week off right with a run at Hains Point on Monday. I ran with a friend who runs faster and longer than me so it pushed me to keep going. I must do that more often. I am going to push for 3 times per week even if its on the treadmill. I have to gear up for the warm weather (spring is upon us).

Considering Monday was Valentine's Day and I had a lot of Hershey kisses, I will begin with Tuesday.

Im Back

This is my first post since Thursday. I will admit that I was out having fun and avoiding posting. I honestly cannot recall everything that I ate, but I will say it wasn't that great. I, therefore, am starting over today. I had a good month and took off a week, but I am ready to go again. I have to....... April 14 will be here before we know it. Only 2.5 months left. I want to be in the best shape of my life.

I tasted Sweets...Opps!

So the "no sweets in my system thing" ended. I blame being sick because it pushed me towards comfort food. My appetite was gone but I wanted to snack mostly. I didn't have the energy for my workouts but today's spin class went well. Here is a summary:

Tuesday:
B-oatmeal
L-fish and green beans
D-chicken and corn
S-1 doughnut (sad cause I was sick, maybe?)
Wednesday:
B-oddle and noddles (Mom said it would help my cold because of the salt)
L- 6 peanut butter crackers
D-chicken breast, brown rice
S-slice of sweet potato pie, popcorn
Exercise: Some Pilates

Thursday:
B-turkey bacon with loads of onions (Again for my cold)
S-trail mix
L-oodle and noodles
D-
Exercise: Spin and abs

Weight at 140 (after a meal) so I am up a few. Still trying to make it back to 130.

I still havent had a cookie or chocolate. Wow! I want to keep it out of my system for awhile. Jack Lalanne swore off sweets and he lived to 96. Here is yesterday:

B-oatmeal, orange
L-fish,  green beans, almonds
S-fruit cup
D-corn chips (too lazy to cook)
Exercise: 30 min walk/run, 15 min elliptical, spinning, low impact hi/lo

The Weekend

I had a good weekend and I was really good with the eating. Today I am not limited on what I can it. I am proud to say that I made it through. No chips, cookies, pizza, cake, etc for 21 days. It wasn't too bad I must admit. The first week was a little rough but I made it. I definitely have a new attitude about willpower...Just because someone else is eating something, doesn't mean I have to eat it. I am not going to die if someone eats a pizza hut personal pan in front of me. You would think I would be running for chocolate this morning, but Im not. I did taste a piece of the bread I had frozen because it was a gift and I couldn't eat it last week. It didn't even taste that great. I am also down 9.5 lbs, which shows that eating fruit, veggies and lean meat/baked fish is the way to go. Im def motivated to keep this up. 7.5 lbs to go.
