Week 7 (Feb 16, 2015 - Feb 22, 2015)

So.... it came down to this.....

After having a GLORIOUS night out on the town and indulging in foods and drinks that I've stayed away from for well over a month it was weigh in day...

I gained.

Not much though, I am currently sitting at 199.4lbs.

I'm not happy that I gained, but at least I didn't gain too much.

This week my parents also went away on vacation so it was really nice to be able to have the house primarily to myself. I was able to workout with Insanity in the living room and then do my run on the treadmill downstairs in the basement.

One thing that I was noticing this week is that I was able to run about 3.45-.55 miles within a minute. I'm pretty impressed with that.

AND!!!

I was able to run, non stop for one whole mile!! If you ask me, I would call this a fitness milestone :)

But this week was quite off for me. I had hardly any appetite, and I had to force myself to eat from time to time.

Something that I was really happy about, was being able to fit into a pair of jeans and a tshirt that I have not been able to wear in quite some time!
The plus side of holding onto all my old clothes is the fact that I don't have to go shopping!

Lord knows I hate shopping!! But maybe I hate shopping because I have such a hard time finding clothes that fit me? Well, maybe when I'm thinner and more fit, I will enjoy this activity.

On Saturday I got a letter in the mail. It was from NYC Admissions. At first I thought it was for my son for kindergarden, but then I realized that it would come from NYC BOE. So I was a bit puzzled when I opened the letter...

It was my test results for the NYPD test I took back in July!!!

I PASSED!!!! And not only did I pass, but I ranked number 13 out of everyone who took that test!!!

So this means that I have to work extra hard and really buckle down starting next week. Now not only am I training to get myself into better shape, but I'm training for the physical part of the academy!

So, off to planning I go!!

Weight Loss Crafts 2:5

I made it to Friday ! And better yet, I survived to tell the tale. It's just been a busy and eventful week that I cannot wait to spend it at the beach all weekend. I figured I'd go there Saturday after I hit the gym, and then on Sunday too. I love taking myself to the beach. I go, do my thing, take naps, read, watch the waves... Its life!   Lets just see if the weather holds up. So my work jeans are pretty big on me. Even with a belt, they just don't sit right. But I'm not quite yet ready to go down a size. Instead, I made my pants adjustable! I cut 2 holes on the inside of the waistband and put elastic in there. I secured one end, and left the other end "free". I sewed on a button that way I can adjust the elastic to make them tighter so they can fit better! I won't lie, I'm pretty excited for this!  Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  iced coffee with 2 tbs...

4:1 Back on Board the Wagon!

So I missed a whole week. Life happened. And to me, that's okay. Because this isn't a race, this is a journey . And sometimes along our journey's we take rests/pit stops. Last week was my pit stop. But I'm back on the wagon in full swing! It's never about how many times you fall off. It's always about how many times you get back on! I may have gained 5 lbs since my last weigh in. But I'm okay about it. I'm not saying that I'm going to sit there and accept defeat. But I'm okay with this set back. I'm okay that I know that I'm going to have to push harder. I'm okay with that. In fact, I've decided to take full swing back in control with a lot of things. I need to manage my time better. Something that I struggle with. But I plan on getting back to sticking to my planner. And I even bought myself a workout/diet planner! This way I can keep track of my food and exercises. It's small enough to fit in my purse. My ac...

4:2 Delayed Pictures and Measurements as Promised

OH MY GLUTES!!! I know that I stretched last night, but my goodness am I sore! It's been a crazy busy day in my office. I've taken on the task of checking all of our patient's eligibility before they have their appointment in our Garden City location. Which is a bit much for me. I know how to check eligibility, but not like this. It's causing me to multitask like an office ninja! But I've been working really hard on it, and I think I'm doing a decent job! I'm almost done with the whole month of August. And then I have to wait till September 1st to do September. But I'll get there. I've already started working on a Christmas gift today. I figured I'll start now just so I'm not pressed come the holiday season. So once I finish this blog post I'll get a few more stitches in before bed. Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  1 cup of coffee with milk and sug...
