Goin' Down

One week has past of my healthy lifestyle choices and so far I have lost 3.5 pounds! I feel like that is a very successful first week. I have also already lost a lot of the cravings. I'm not craving coke at all, and I am already starting to crave sweets less too. Last Monday was my first week of exercising in a long time too and I started with 15 minutes which was hard. Today I did 30 minutes and felt good. It's amazing how quickly your body can adapt!

New Year

I was doing great last year until we moved into a new house. Since then I gained back everything I lost. Not good. I gave myself one week into the New Year, but now I'm back to committed to losing the weight. I started yesterday with exercising and eating well. I'm not going on a "diet" I'm just making healthy lifestyle choices. So I'm back and here we go!

Body Sculpt

I love having someone to meet me at the gym. Thanks for asking me to go today Jess! Glad we can work out together!

5K!

This morning was the Ogden 5K. I ran with my mom and we ran just under 11 minute miles. I don't have my "official" time yet, but we felt like we did really great. It was such a great experience to be able to run with my mom. The scenery was beautiful and the company was great. Thanks Mom! It was fun!

I Went Back!

Yes, I went back to the gym today. Running was a little more difficult than it was when I was going steadily, but I did ok. I'm running the 5K on Saturday and I'm a little nervous, but hopefully I'll be ok. Ty cried in the nursery for quite awhile and I was off my regular schedule so I only got to go to 1/2 of Zumba. Moral of the story? Don't stop going to the gym because it's only harder when you do go back. Also I gained 4 pounds from my lowest weight which isn't too bad considering I haven't been exercising and have been eating like crazy.

I'm not gettin' skinny

I logged onto my blog today to check other people's blogs and realized that I no longer am getting skinny. Since I left on vacation I have lost all motivation. I need to come up with a new motivation to get me going again. I'm picking up the food journal again that I have been neglecting and getting outside to exercise. Let's go!

I'm Back!

I'm back from Cancun and it was such a great trip. A little rainy, but very motivational and relaxing! Now I just need to get back to my exercising and eating healthy. It's amazing how easily good habits are broken. I did go running the past two mornings and while I wasn't where I was I think I'll be ready for my 5K next month.
