Hot 100 update #5

Happy Halloween weekend blogland!  This has been a weak week (say that 10 times fast).  I'm not proud of the weight gain or the actions that lead to it.  But in reality there will be times when I need to live my life.  This is a journey and there will be ups and downs.  I don't like it but I am moving forward and keeping the larger picture in mind!  Being healthy is the ultimate goal!  

Tomorrow morning i am running my very first 10k!  It is freaking cold here and I may run faster just to reach the warmth, lol!  I can't wait to see where my training has gotten me! 
  1. Get more sleep.  I was good most nights.  But there were a couple nights were I just wasn't tired and couldn't attempt to sleep.  Must have been the full moon.     
  2. Lose 20lbs.  Weighed in at 218.4 that is a 3.2 pound gain! Fail.  But moving forward. 
  3. Meal planning.  We stuck to the plan and have planned out November!  I just need to decide where I want to go for my birthday and what night!  Win!
  4. Balance.  I love doing this at random times.  Filing, sure!  Standing in the elevator, why not?  Win!    
  5. Tracking.  Checkish!  The weekend was a bit off.  Yesterday, we had a potluck at work and I'm not entirely sure how to input all the homemade foods. I may just have to write it down.    
OctGTD Challenge update:  I completed 97.30 miles of my 100 mile challenge!  Hooray!!! I will finish tomorrow at the race and actually be over by a bit!  I am so proud of myself for being able to do this and finish!  I can't wait to go shopping for my reward! 

Have a great weekend everyone!

  2. I went off-plan last weekend, and strictly tracking everything i ate this week has been a big help in getting me back on course and the scales moving in a downwards direction again...you can do it too. Congrats on the mileage by the way - that's great.

  4. It seems everyone in blogland had an odd week this week. Most everyone gained or went off plan. Just say you were preparing hard for the race tomorrow! Good luck!

  7. I love how you phrased it "But in reality there will be times when I need to live my life."

    That is a very poignant way to put it.

  11. Thanks everyone! The race was a huge success. I can't let the gain define me. Although this week may be off due to a crazy weekend. And that is ok!
