My Fitness Levels

Ran 5.50 miles today!Pretty good considering I had a busy day at work and wasn't that into it at first.I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO RUN TODAY!!!!!But I finished off the last of the Russel Stover candy today so felt I needed it.Usually after the first mile I'm good to go.I did get up to 5.7 with my speed for about 3 min.My incline is normally around 0 to 3.0.Walked another 1.2 miles.6.2 total.

I'M POOPED!!!!

My Fitness For Today

Today was a pretty good day food wise.I did have 4 pieces of Russel Stover candy that a client gave me for CHRISTmas.I'll be glad when all the goodies are gone!

I walked to a local bike store to purchase a product called Body Glide.I use it to rub over the chest area to prevent chaffing.A little FYI for you guys :D.That took about 20 min.or so and the same walking back.When I got home I got on the tread mill and ran 5.2 miles and walked another 1.2.

Tracking My Fitness

I've decided to start tracking my fitness goals and maby my food as well.I haven't been keeping track of that like I should.Most of these post will be short,sweet and to the point.

Ran 6.2 miles walked 1.7miles total.That's good considering I ate a whole bag of chocolate covered Bridge Mix! My eating has been bad today.I skipped breakfast.Only coffee.Not good!No food and coffee(high test)leads to poor food chooses later in the day! I think maby I burned most of that chocolate off though.Burned 1,122 calories on the tread mill.

ONE YEAR

Okay I'm finally updating this after way too long.

One year ago on December 19 I reached my goal of 175.Actually I was 1lb under my goal.174 exactly.My weight fluctuates like mad depending on the day of the week.Or if I weigh with my clothes on or off.Or the time of day.I guess every ones does.I've started counting the weight I am with out clothes.

My highest weight this year was 178.something.My weight today December 27,2009 is 170.8.It's been up and down.So I guess I can say that I've managed to maintain somewhat.I keep telling myself as long as I stay in the 170's,I'm okay.Although I have to say I like seeing the lower number.

It's kind of funny in a way that I enjoy the smaller things about being thin.Things that most people probably don't even think about.Like being able to see my collar bones or being able to fit my hands around my wrist,being able to cross my legs comfortably or being able to shop for clothes and and not pay a huge price for them.Or just being able to move with out loosing my breath.

Speaking of moving.I've started running!!!Yes you read it right!I'VE BEEN RUNNING!!!Never in a million years did I ever think I would be running!Two year's ago I could hardly even walk with out getting winded.So far I've made it 6.2 miles with out stopping on the tread mill.Outside that would be a 5k.Or is 10k?I think 6.2 is 10k.5.5 is my fastest speed with an incline of 3.0.That probably isn't much for a person who has been running for years.But hey it's a huge accomplishment for ME!And let me tell you!When I get done I am drenched!Like I took a dip in a lake with my clothes on!There's a guy that's been comming in the workout room at my apartment who probably weights 145lb.Skin and bones.He runs at a speed of 7.0 or higher and never breaks a sweat!!!Sometimes I want to ask him how he does that!!!!I'm seriously considering doing a bridge run next year.I think it's a 10k.Craig says he'll do it with me if I decide to do it.I really need to start training outside though.

CHRISTmas came and went so fast this year!What happened?The older I get the faster it goes!It was good.Spent the night with Craig and his beautiful family on CHRISTmas eve so I could wake up early the next morning and do Santa with Hope and Hunter.They slept until 8:30.When Craig and I were kids,we were up between 4 and 5 am.We probably never even went to sleep.Kids are so different today than when I was growing up.I ate way to much as usual.Had my binge on candy,pie,cookies and sausage balls.Good thing Christmas comes but once a year.I did go for a run/walk Christmas night though.I'm sure I didn't even burn half the calories I consumed.But still It was better than nothing.

I hope everyone had a Blessed CHRISTmas and have a fantastic new year!

PEACE,LOVE and HAPPINESS to all :D

Remember Me?

My goodness,I think it's been since before Christmas since I last posted.

Well I finally did it.I reached my goal weight.Wooohooo:)1lb under.174
Maintaining can be a little tricky.Trying to find that right balance between to much and not enough.But so far so good.

After reaching goal,I made the stupid decision to go to Wally World and buy a gosh darn scale.Now I was doing great only weighing once a month at Weight Watchers and occasionally at the gym.My weight can fluctuate like crazy.So when ever I see a higher number,It freaks me out a little.And weighing two and three times a day doesn't help.The past two week have been better.Only weighing on Thursday's and at the gym.I wish I had never bought the stupid thing.

The new year has started of pretty well(besides the scale).I Joined a walking group on youtube called wls walkingbuddies.Wls stands for weight loss surgery.They have kind of adopted me as there own even though I've not had surgery.We carry pedometers and count our steps.I won 1st place for January's challenge.234,334 total steps,67,355 aerobic steps,88.62 miles walked.I should be getting my metal in the mail pretty soon.So the walking has been great.I really need to start getting more strenght training in at the gym,but when I get there,I do my cardeo and poop out.

Peace,Love,Happiness and Faith to all and God Bless
