Weigh in Wednesday

Planned Workout: JM30DS, aqua jog
Actual Workout: aqua jog

I am not doing well with this 30DS thing.  Today I over slept, ran to get Little Miss to track and field, me to aqua jog, and her to maw maw's so I could go to the office (my now second job) before going to work. 

Today was just one of those days, I think.  I thought I would be smart and wear my sandals to the gym since I was only swimming.  Yeah, forgot to pack myself socks for work.  Heel boots with no socks :( Awesome.

I did have a good weigh in this morning:
      
                             180.4

That's right. One pound away from how much I weighed when I found out I was pregnant.  Almost 5 years ago.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I just may be on my way!

Weigh In Wednesday

Planned Workout: Aqua Jog
Actual Workout: Aqua Jog

It is the week of decisions.  I need to decide if I want to sign up for another session of my aqua jog class.  Yes, I will have to pay for the next session, but I do like it.

Liking it is not the problem.  I love the class.  The problem is all these other questions I have about the class:

1. Can we afford it? We are on a tight budget right now and the class is almost $30.
2. Is it working? I feel tired and exercised after class, but I'm not sure I am seeing the results I expected.
3. Can I keep up this schedule and fit in more runs?
4. What about the fact that I want to swim on free lap time (a totally free activity) now that Little Miss is out of school?
5. What about other classes I have been thinking of trying?

Running is the biggest one.  Sunday I got up and ran to my sister's house (a little over a mile).  And ever since I have fallen in love with it.

Ok, weight time:

186.4

Well, I'll take it.

Weigh in Wednesday

Actual Workout: Aqua Jog (and a little more)


Yes, I know it is Friday and I am just now weighing myself. I had a bad week and it just had to wait. The results? 186.1 This week, I'll take it!

WooT WooT!

Planned Workout: 3 mile run/walk interval
Actual Workout: 3 mile run/walk interval

That's right.  I did it.  I got myself up to 3 miles.  Granted, I walked probably a little under a mile of it.  But I did it.  There were some distractions and I think I could have pushed myself harder, but I enjoyed my 3 miles (after the fact,of course.) 

I compared my workout today to one I had in January with about the same time.  In about 40 minutes today I went 3.03 miles.  In about 40 minutes in January I went 1.79.  

I think a good run deserves a celebration.  So after work today I am going to go save some serious cash at the grocery store.  (Yeah, so I celebrate weird.  Whatever.)

Redemption

I had a bad day yesterday. Not just a bad run day. All day. It has been a long time since I have had a completely bad day.
I tried perking myself up several times with many different things:



Bubble Gum lotion didn't help.

Neither did 2 cups of coffee.

Even goofing off and singing to the radio with Little Miss didn't help.

So I was happy just to start a new day this morning.Aqua Jog was good, not great, but a good workout.
Afterwards is where I redeemed myself for yesterday. I ran/walked for 30 minutes. I probably only ran a little over a mile of it, but i pushed myself more than yesterday and did better..even after a 45 minute water workout. I consider that redemption.

Regrets.Concens, and Swimsuits

Planned Workout: Aqua Jog
Actual Workout: Aqua Jog


There are Regrets:
    I shouldn't have weighed myself yesterday.  It wasn't a weigh in day.  I shouldn't have eaten cookies and brownies yesterday. Aaannddd..... I shouldn't have been drying my swimsuit in the dryer all this time.

Then there are Concerns:
      I am having a yard sale at the end of the month.  I am going through all of my clothes and I really want to get rid of everything too big for me.  I think this concerns my hubby.  He is afraid I won't have any clothes left.

Then there's this:

My New (to me) Swimsuit

It is 2 sizes smaller than my old one, and made out of a better material.  It cost $4.  It fits pretty well, with room to lose weight.

I am hoping it will be a good investment.  In June I want to start swimming laps.  And I am talking up this class to hubby in hopes that we can budget it in for the next session. ( If you haven't figured it out yet, we didn't budget in boot camp this time, and I miss that class.)

Weigh in Wednesday

Planned Workout: 2 mile run/walk

Actual Workout: 3k run/walk and arm circuit

I don't know why, but I felt the need to make a record for myself today.  I was going to do my usual, then I went looking through the history on my little tracker.  The fastest 3k I had on record was around 25 minutes.  The personal best for 2 miles was 24:25.  I knew my 3k record could be beat.  So I warmed up and took off.

Here is a list of my stats as of now:

• Total Workouts for 2012: 44
• Total Run Distance 2012: 71.38 miles
• Total Time: 18 hours
• Total Calories: 8227
• Total Non-run Steps: 1282
• Farthest distance in one run: 3.30 miles
  
• Best 1k: 7:00
• Best 3k: 23:07 (as of today)
• Best 1 mile: 11:40
• Best 2 miles: 24:45

Well, it is Wednesday so time for my weigh in:

191.5

Not sure how I lost weight this week honestly, but I'm not going to complain about it. 

But I am going to show you what I made for lunch: BBQ chicken toasties (they were yummy!)  All I did was put some chicken in the crock pot with BBQ sauce yesterday.  Today, I got these little slices of bread (whole wheat), put some BBQ chicken on them and sprinkled them with a little 2% cheese.  Then I baked them in the oven for about 10 minutes on 300 degrees. 

Weigh in Wednesday

Planned Workout: Arms, Abs, and Leg
Actual Workout: Arms, Legs

Today is the day... to see if I made it to my 190 goal.... I didn't waste time this morning getting on the scale.
The results?

192.1

Ok, so it wasn't my goal.  At least I didn't gain weight.  I think its time for me to re-evaluate my food choices.  I am going to have to start a food journal.  I have been trying to avoid that, but I don't think I can anymore.

Of All The Things I've Lost

Things I have lost in the last 24 hours:

• My debit card (I found it)
• A contact (did not find that)
• One of the little rubber things off of my ear buds (still looking)
•  The grocery list I started
• My favorite purple tweezers (still lost)
• A pair of my workout capris ( I bet if I folded the rest of the laundry I could find them)
• A picture I wanted to put on my blog
• Sleep (Hubby's alarm went off at 4:45am!!! He was already at work.)
• Time (ok, more like wasted it looking for all this stuff)
• My patience

How do I lose all these things?  I never completely know. It just happens.  Mostly I think I just get distracted in the middle of something.  Then I waste valuable time looking for stuff, or I end up doing without.  I know I am not the most organized all the time (mostly since the kid), but sometimes I just throw up my arms and go "Seriously?! Seriously?!"


So what have you lost lately?
