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 9
I'm just full of excuses and weight gain this week, so I won't even bother *sigh*

Olivia's 2nd Birthday!
My baby girl turned 2 today! I can't believe it! And not in the normal "where have 2 years gone" sense either. More than how can she be 2 if she's the same size Isaac and Brianna we're at only their first birthdays?!
*Again Note: There's a few years missing where we lost our entire hard drive. Also, pardon the pics of pics* *2nd note, yes, all 3 of my birth children really were born within 2 weeks of each other lol*

Sprint to the Finish - Week 8
Last week:
Nurtitional:
I will drink 80+oz of water each day. No problem in this heat!
I will eat breakfast everyday *before* 10am. I've discovered my problem here.... with my lovely hubby laid off and getting up with the kids every morning to let me sleep in, I am waking up too late to feel awake enough to eat. This then leads to me not being able to fall asleep until midnight or later, meaning I sleep in the next day. I will be working on this.
Have a fruit smoothie at least once for lunch. Forgot all about it
Have a salad for one meal at least 4 times this week. Made it to 3 again. Really working for 4 this week, starting with salad planned for supper tonight!
Physical:
I will walk at least 7 miles this week. only 5.46m :(
I will do 2 days of my walk/run program. I got one in, but then my route was taken over by the local fair lol It's down now, so provided the humidity doesn't kill me, I'll get my 2 in this week
Up doing weights to at least twice this week. I didn't do 2 different sessions, but I did do an hour of weights and stretches with Brianna and my niece this week, so feel justified in counting it (since my normal weights routine is only about 20 minutes)
Go to bed before 11pm every night. See eating breakfast.
I seem to have hit a wall of sorts. For the last 3-4 weeks I've been floating between 169 and 172. It's really peeving me off! I have a mini-goal for tomorrow (Olivia's birthday) that looked as easy as pie to hit a month ago yet now I'm more than 4lbs from it. I'm going to have to try to jump start the losing again. I've still got 12lbs before I'm even vaguely happy with my weight so I certainly can't stop here!!!
