Hello Blogland-
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! I still don't have a car but I hope too soon! Mine should be done soon...I hope!! I am excited because tonight is Harry Potter! So maybe this emotionally draining 2 weeks can have a happy ending. Plus, this starts a week long vacation!! Woo hoo! No big plans except to clean out my basement and catch up on blogs.
Wednesday was weigh and measure day with Ms. All-star. I didn't gain or lose any weight but I did lose 3% of body Fat and gained back some of the lost muscle! Whew...because I was really worried after last month. At least I am headed in the right direction.
- Get more sleep. Sigh. Let's just say I need to get back in the habit of sleeping more than 5 or 6 hours.
- Lose 20lbs. Weighed in at 215.2. At least I stayed the same.
- Meal planning. We stuck to the plan! At least something is a Win!
- Balance. Eh, there is always next week.
- Tracking. I promise to get back on track next week. My birthday present (provided it comes) should help that along!
NovGTD Challenge update: I completed 3.70 mile of my 30 mile challenge! It could be better but I am still trying to swim as much as possible. At this point it is 3 more miles than I swam in the past!
This week has been up and down emotionally. I've been waiting for the girl who hit me to grow up and deal with the situation. Thankfully, she gave her statement about the accident this morning and now we can move forward with fixing my car. Hopefully, I get it back this time next week!! Needless to say my focus has not been on my weight loss journey but on repairing my car. No rental car until Tuesday so I am still borrowing my mom's car and trying not to hog it. Sigh....
- Get more sleep. Suckit sleep. Really, I can't wait for life to return to normal and I don't have to worry nearly as much.
- Lose 20lbs. Weighed in at 215.2 that is a 1.2 pound lose! Win!! I am back to where I was before gaining a few weeks ago!
- Meal planning. We stuck to the plan until last night when I hit my mental breakdown mode and so did not want fish! We had Chinese and it wasn't a complete disaster. I ate until I was satisfied and then moved on.
- Balance. Eh, there is always next week.
- Tracking. Fail! I can't get in the habit. I really need to get back to doing this.
NovGTD Challenge update: I completed 1.70 mile of my 30 mile challenge! Well this isn't going well...
I can't wait until my life resumes it's normalcy. I hated this week and how much it upset my routine. I think having to give up some control was the part I hated even more. Stupid control freak that I am. Here's to the start of a much more productive week!!
I can't believe that 6 weeks has flown by in this challenge. Heck, I am still in shock that Turkey Day is in a couple weeks. Where has this year gone? The first half of the year I spent feeling better than I had in months and doing WW (well trying). The second half I can account for all of it because most of it is blogged right here! Either way this has been a much better year that 09. I look forward to the last two months and what they might bring (presents for birthday and Christmas)!!
So this was not the best of weeks for my challenge. I was off all week and not exactly sure why. It could be that I spent all last month really gearing up for the 10k race and now that it's over I'm bummed. However, I have other things to look forward to and other goals to achieve. I need to snap out of it and realize that these goals are just as important to having a well rounded self!
- Get more sleep. I did my best but a couple of nights were still a lost cause. Semi-win!
- Lose 20lbs. Weighed in at 216.4 that is a 2 pound lose! We are back in the Win column. And with Aunt Flo visiting and all!
- Meal planning. We stuck to the plan! Total Win!
- Balance. I was forced to endure a training session via CD yesterday. So I did balance activities while attached to my computer. Otherwise, I have been slacking a bit and not doing any outside the gym balancing. Semi-win!
- Tracking. Fail! I haven't tracked all week. I really need to do this and I hate it. Sigh.
NovGTD Challenge update: I completed 1.00 mile of my 30 mile challenge! Perhaps a slow start will mean a strong finish!
Have a great weekend everyone!
I am 100% sure that I have over challenged myself this month. Running has nothing on swimming! However, it was super great to be in the pool last night! I finished my 1st mile and to be honest I swam half the laps and walked half the laps. It was bloody hard to swim that much at one time. I think I found some new muscles that Ms. All-star has missed! :) My whole body feels like I've been run over by a mac truck. I've never been so glad for a night off from the gym. I am cherishing this rest day with my whole body and not just my heart! FYI, the muscle soreness isn't all from swimming some can be attributed to my 10,000 lunges during training. She's loving being able to torture my legs again...silly trainer!
I am pretty sure I won't make it through all 30 miles but I am going to give it my best effort. I will probably be a much more proficient swimmer in the process. Perhaps the real challenge should be to progress from walking half the laps to swimming all of them! Stay tuned to see whether I sink or swim....
Look for my Hot 100 update tomorrow.
