Week 8 (Feb 23, 2015 - March 1, 2015)

I was sick with a nasty cold over the weekend so I'm pretty happy that I was able to lose weight.

I'm currently at 197 lbs!!

Monday I started off with my 20 mile run challenge. I completed 7 miles out of the 20 and I did it in 1 hour and 18 minutes. Not bad for the first time I have ever done 7 miles before!!!

I averaged a 16 and change minute mile.

Tuesday I did 5 miles within 81 minutes. Again I averaged a 16 and change minute mile.

Wednesday I did 5 miles within 84 minutes. I gained a few minutes here, and while in the big scheme of things its not horrible, but a few extra minutes in the police academy will pass or fail you.

Thursday I did 3 miles in 52 minutes. This was when my legs were really starting to feel the effects of the previous days' runs.

But Thursday was a big day for me. My partner in crime and I headed down to Florida to go pick up my son from his 2 week trip visiting his father. It was a very long and tedious drive. We left at 12:00am Friday and didn't get there till about 10pm. Just to turn around and head back Saturday at 4:30pm. We drove through the night and didn't get back home till about 9:30pm on Sunday.

I am eternally grateful for the help and support my PIC gave me during this trip.  I would not have been able to do that without him!

One of the surprisingly hard things was eating while I was away. When I have to do long distance drives like that, I tend to go for snacks and eat and munch the whole time behind the wheel. But I could not do that this time.
I also tend to eat a bunch of junk food and fast food. Yet, I could not do that either!

This trip messed with my diet on many different levels.

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...
