Today my weight was 134.8. So I've lost a bit more. I'm not even trying really. Just being mildly careful and super busy helps I guess.
I still plan to get on the exercise wagon along with the rest of Americans come Jan 1. See ya then.

Well, my current weight is 138.5.
So I've lost about another pound a half. Things aren't going great. Mostly in the exercise area. Winter has set in and for a few reasons, I'm really struggling getting my butt in gear. I don't like running on a treadmill because I feel like a rat on a wheel. And I don't like running outside because it's so freakin cold. Plus I've been so much busier. And it seems like every other day I feel like I'm on the verge of having a full on flu. I know, excuses excuses. But on the plus side, I am eating fairly well and losing a little bit of weight. If I can keep up just that, I could be at my goal weight by the end of December. When I started this blog, I wanted to lose 20 lbs. Now I only have 10.5 lbs to go. So not too bad. Anybody can lose 10 lbs. Unfortunately I'm looking at the holidays ahead of me here in the near future. So I can't really say what will happen.
I have decided though that until the New Year starts, I'm not gonna stress about this anymore. I've kind of lost all that motivation and desire lately.
Sorry to disappoint.

Bad Week
Not good news here.
Weigh in last Monday 140.8
Weigh in today Monday 2nd Nov 140.5
1/3 lb lost this week.
So just a little weight loss.
But I am actually not too upset about that because I had family in town since Friday and it was a typical situation when you have lots of family get-togethers---food food food food. Not to mention it was Halloween. So to actually have a tiny loss is nothing to complain about when it could have easily been a gain.
My exercise isn't great either but here ya go:
Monday ate 1130 calories and ran 1 mile 8:50 time (downhill) and 1 mile walk uphill.
Tuesday ate 880 calories and ran 1.5 mile and walked 1.5 mile uphill all on treadmill. Lost time.
Wednesday ate 1150 calories and no exercise.
Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday didn't exercise or count calories. Some discretion was used as I ate, but not much. :) It was a fun time at least!
So I need to make up time from this past week and do awesome this week!
Here's my goal:
Run a 5k every day this week and keep calories under 1200. I hope to lose 5 lbs. It will be so awesome to see 13_ on that scale.
Wish me luck!

My First Post
If anyone knows anything about me, they know I tend to get obsessed with diet and exercise. I do so for a few reasons in which anybody could guess.
#1- I care about how I look. (Just being honest. Vanity often gets the better of me.)
#2- I care about how I feel. Being healthy is important to me too.
#3- I actually enjoy exercising. Truly do.
One thing I found out this past week is that I have blood pressure that is ranked at stage 2 hypertension. That shocked me considering all my life I believe my blood pressure has been low. What's up with that?! I bet a better diet and a lifestyle filled with good exercise could bring that down. I'm willing to give it a shot before I start a regime of blood pressure medication that often becomes a lifetime necessity.
I'm also really tired much of the time. Considering I have a newborn, there's no surprise there. But even when I do sleep, I'm not sleeping that well. Exercise has been proven to improve sleep and energy levels. Another plus!
I have like 3 boxes of size 4 clothes that I was wearing less than a year ago. Currently I'm like a size 10 or more. Maternity clothes still grace my frumpy bod. That has got to end. And I refuse to go out and buy cute new fat clothes. REFUSE.
Enough bla bla bla. I'm totally ready to get started!
This blog is to help me keep track of my goals and to log my progress. Hope it helps!
