Weigh In
168.6lbs this morning. Down 1lb. Not happy. I know it wasn't helped by Lee and my nephew's birthday BBQ last night. My eating wasn't too bad last week, but I need to get off my butt! I've been super busy with the start of our full school schedule (complete with last minute (literally, on Tuesday) curriculum buying), but that's no real excuse. 20 minutes doesn't take up my whole day!

Sprint to the Finish - Week 10
Well, I'm down to 167.6lbs but still 6.8lbs from my Sprint to the Finish goal :( I also missed my walking goal of 100 miles by Aug 1 by 4.68 miles. I don't feel *too* bad about that one though. I have a new walking challenge that I joined through Daily Mile. 50 miles by Labour Day. Hope I can get this one in!
I'll be harder training my daughter and niece in the next 3 weeks before their triathlon so I'll get some more walking in that way. But of course what they need to work on the most is running endurance and I can't run more than 50 meters, so yeah, most of their running time, I just sit and time them.
I need to get more weights and other cardio in though. Because of the humidity continuing into the evenings I've felt like barfing even before I start my walk/run program. I'll be able to do better come fall, but that's so far away!

Sprint to the Finish - Week 4
We had family crisis this past week that is still going on, so most of my goals weren't even cared about. I did still manage to lose some stress weight!
Nurtitional:
I will drink 80+oz of water each day. I did manage this most days
I will eat breakfast everyday *before* 10am. Didn't happen
Have a fruit smoothie at least once for lunch. Didn't happen
Try a new "diet" recipe. Didn't happen
Physical:
I will walk at least 7 miles this week. Did 8.8 miles!
I will do 2 days of my walk/run program. Didn't happen
Up doing weights to at least twice this week. Didn't happen
Go to bed before 11pm every night. Deff didn't happen!
Weight: down 2.6lbs!
Because of what's still going on, I'm not going to bother setting specific goals, just doing my best. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on track soon!

Sprint to the Finish - Week 3
Linking up with Kris @ Eclipsed
Last Week's Goals:
Nutritional:
I will drink 80+oz of water each day. I did great everyday but Saturday. I almost missed yesterday too, but chugged 30oz after 9pm last night lol
I will eat breakfast everyday *before* 10am. I completely forgot about breakfast one day, but otherwise got it done
Have a fruit smoothie at least once for lunch. Check!
Try a new "diet" recipe. This one actually ties into the smoothie one. I tried one of those fruit/veggie smoothies but adding pumpkin to my smoothie. It was only about 20 calories and made the smoothie extra smooth.
Physical:
I will walk at least 6 miles this week. Did almost 8 miles!
I will do 2 days of my walk/run program. I did do one of them. I was going to yesterday but ended up taking Olivia to the park with me. Does walk/running after a 2 yr old count? lol
Up doing weights to at least twice this week. I actually completely forgot about weights :(
Weight: down 1.8lbs

Sprint to the Finish - Week 2
Joining up with Kris at Eclipsed
Last Week's Goals:
Nutritional:
I will start tracking in Daily Plate again. I got back into it! And only went over my calorie goal once and it was only by about 140 cals, so not horrible.
I will drink 80+oz of water each day. I did it! On Saturday I was out of town (and hate bottled water), but still chugged back about 70oz in 4 hours to get my goal!
I will eat breakfast everyday *before* 10am. I actually managed to do this (though I forgot this morning lol)
Physical:
I will walk at least 6 miles this week. I did just over 6 miles. Unfortunately, too much of it was at too slow of a pace IMO.
I will do 2 days of my walk/run program. I have nothing but excuses as to why I didn't get this done, so I won't bother
I will do at least one days of weights. Check!
Weight: down 1.2lbs
This Week's Goals:
Nutritional:
Last week's goals PLUS....
Have a fruit smoothie at least once for lunch. Since I'm not a big liquid drinker other than water and coffee, this "lunch" last me a long time, so I'm fuller, longer
Try a new "diet" recipe. There's only a gazillion out there that is super yummy but low in calories.
Physical:
Last Week's Goals PLUS....
Up doing weights to at least twice this week. I really have no upper body strength, so I want to make sure to keep up the muscles I DO have!
As a bonus, I re-did my measurements from 20lbs ago. I am A.M.A.Z.E.D.
Inches lost:
Chest - 4 1/2in
Belly - 4 1/2n
Hips - 1 3/4in

Milestone
The day Isaac was born (almost 12 years ago) I weighed 176lbs. This morning I weighed in at 175.8lbs! I haven't been so light in sooooo long!
I have a weird thing happen after I have kids. Rather than lose weight (and I nursed all of them), I gain it. I mean sure, the day my kids are born I lose about 10lbs. But by the time they're like 4 mths old I've gained more than I gained through my whole pregnancy! I've struggled so long with the roller coaster that is my weight.
Isaac
Pre-pregnancy weight - 137lbs
9 mths - 175lbs
Brianna
Pre-pregnancy - 187
9 mths - 200lbs
(Here there was a 7 yr stretch where I had lots of weight ups and downs)
Olivia
Pre-pregnancy - 202lbs
9 mths - 209lbs (Funnily enough, I had weight loss issues during this pregnancy)
This time around I'm actually seeing my weigh going down, and not just by a couple pounds. This time I'm down over 30lbs. Not UP 30lbs, but DOWN. I've never had that happen before.
I also discovered today, that in 1.8lbs I will officially be out of the obese category! Never in my adult life have I been simply over weight. I've always been obese. Never has "overweight" sounded so good!

My Weight Loss
A friend of mine posted a similar post and I thought I'd throw mine out there too!
My loss since my highest weight (9 mths pg with Olivia) - 32.6lbs
My loss since I started losing weight this round - 15.8lbs
Weight to lose until my first major goal - 9.2lbs (25lbs lost since starting again in Jan)
Weight to lose til my final goal - 26.4lbs (150lbs is my goal)
I didn't measure myself this time. I do have my measurements from when I was about 5lbs from my top weight around somewhere. I have dropped from wearing size 18 or so pants and 1X - 2X tops to wearing size 12 - 14 pants and L - XL tops.

My Mom Kicks Ass!
Almost 3 years ago my mom had gastric bypass. This is a form of weight loss surgery that involves the removal of 90% of your stomach. Her top weight was 287lbs. She went down to 124lbs and then settled around 145lbs (she and everyone else felt she was much too skinny and unhealthy looking at 124). This week we found the tank top she wore on her surgery day and had to take pics....

Exercise Log - Week 8
After a really crappy week diet wise, I some how posted a loss on Friday (only .2lbs, but still!). So I figured I've got to get moving if I'm ever gonna lose this weight. On Fri I did the modified C25K, but with the treamill level instead of the 15% incline. I was able to do the whole 2 mins running twice! Wooooo! And last night Lee and I went for a nice walk around town.
Mileage: 3.97 miles
Time: 1 hr 16 mins
I WILL do more this week!

A Great Day!
Started out the day at the lowest weight I've been in close to 9 years! I'm down to 181.4lbs. Getting closer and closer to my goal of 178lbs by Sept 1st! YAY!
Next on the docket was bill paying. Currently all of our bills are up to date and paid! Such a good feeling after the summer we've had! It's so great to be finally caught up. Now we've got to work on September.
I'm looking into possibly getting a part time job. Lisa did up a resume for me and I'm going to bring it to a few places in the mall. That location would be perfect as it's only 4 blocks away so no matter the weather it's just a quick walk. Lisa's gonna be basicly "on call" as a babysitter in case I have to go to work and Lee's not home yet. I'd really rather stay home with Olivia being so little, but the extra money would be nice too. Maybe even just something until after Christmas.

Getting Kicked off of PRMR
Arrrrgggg! I am so pissed right now! On Monday, I did my update on PRMR as usual. I went back Tuesday morning to check it over and found that Syd posted at 8am (5am his time) that I made mistake and he was fixing them. WTF?! Who gets up a 5am to check a game?! So anyways, because of this the Forum Hosts have decided to kick me off PRMR and make a whole new board with a whole new host account. The Forum Host zmailed me about it all full of I make mistakes, I don't get along with Syd, blah blah blah. Humans make mistakes people! I check my updates but when someone's getting up at 5am to find mistakes there's no way in hell I can find them and fix them! And I never talk to Syd, how can I get along with him or not? Holy crap I'm peeved.
On a high note I'm down .8lbs!
