I want to try Cool Running's Couch-to-5K program... after I get running shoes and maybe something to run in. Jeans doesn't quite do it.

I'm not really trying, but I think I have been a little more active, even if it is just wandering around car lots and chasing a baby in the back yard. Whatever it is, I am down to 156 (from 159 on Friday) with wet hair and jeans on...and this is even after the birthday lunch at red lobster that took 2 hours. grin

I spent most of Saturday hauling paint and doing laps around the Food Bank of the Rockies...then I had to keep up with a very active 6 year old at D&B's the rest of the day. What does all that mean? That I could barely move on Sunday, and only went to my sister's because she had the Lucky Boy get and the phone to say, "Peeeeeeas Aunti Jenn." ::extortion, I tell ya::

Try weighing/measuring in the morning instead. You see better results which increases your motivation, and it's somewhat more accurate since you won't be carrying around the day's meals and stress.

I weighed myself this morning (every Monday is my tracking day) and I'm down 15.5 lbs! 9.5 more to go!

Well we started at night, so I'm going to continue that for now. Maybe next week, but getting two people's schedules to work together and remember to do it. Night is the best time for now.

Plus, I'm not basing losing weight or inches on continuing the eating better or working out part, so it's not a huge deal to me. It will be something to focus on when I'm not motivated, I will be like; to self "You gotta go to the gym tonight becasue there is only X # of times to go this week & you lost Z last week & you went A times" That's when I will need the number information.

Update:

So Monday NIGHT we measured ourselves & I lost 2 lbs & 2 inches in my waist. I was proud, we cheated liek 2 1/2 days, so.......

This week I've been better, hope I get to workout tonght, have tons to do with Mothers Day coming up & 3 cats that need meds, vet trips, etc. Oh, and that thing we call work that pays the bills (no very well, but it does).

NICE job Kim! happy

i went to the store last nite....and really got some good stuff..i hope. Organic. Fruits...salad fixings..organic omega 3 vinergrette stuff. croutons (forgot raisins and sunflower seeds)

no red meat. *sob* i wanted a nice steak. no pork, no sea food. Whole Wheat products...boca burgers. i already had chicken breast, ground turkey, which really is pretty good and salmon and tipala.

Kashi cereal, TLC Kashi Crackers, i got some snacky Pirate Booty. he he

I also got some Lactose free milk. So we will see...i got NO other diary, no cheese, no ice cream. I have discovered just how lactose intolerate i am. who knew.

IF you do drink milk may i suggest that you get the kind with no growth horomones. i read an article about it and almost thru up and i could NOT make myself get the other kind no matter HOW Much cheaper it was.

Thanks to Mrs. Obi_Wannabe, i did pick up some ethnic cuisine...it is in the organic section at KS. happy
