I don't know WHAT happened...

Honestly, I don't :(

I really felt GREAT, especially after meeting that goal last week! I felt like I was motivated as much as I was back in January. For the first time in a LONG time.

The weekend wasn't great, but it didn't ruin my mood or my determination.

Monday morning I started off with more BBQ chips. I realized, there weren't many left at all. I finished them. Meaning, I had eaten the WHOLE bag by myself over 3 days. I said to myself: What the hell are you doing?!?! And I did GREAT the rest of the day. I stuck to the plan, did housework, ate a sandwich for lunch on the 'sandwich thins' with baby carrots. Did the treadmill at 1pm which worked out so well! I stayed on it a little longer: 30 minutes/ 1.18 miles, Incline 1 with 2 ob weights for 5 minutes and I felt so good. I really love having it done and out of the way too! I only had ONE cookie. I did good with dinner, eating only one portion. And I snacked on measured out almonds. I got in 51 oz of water! The day was great.
Then... I don't know what happened.
It was 10:30pm, and Ray was hungry... we... ordered pizza. I know I have a pizza problem, but we haven't ordered it in the middle of the night for a snack since before I started this Jan 2010!!! (And even though it was his idea, if I would have said no- he wouldn't have. I was totally all for it.) Medium 12 inch. I had 5 pieces. FIVE. :( I found comfort in the fact they were small... but later? When I was done? I felt like SHIT. I couldn't believe I did that!!!!! 5 pieces of pizza in the middle of the night!?!?!?! OMG!!!  I still can't believe I did that.
Today wasn't any better. I was depressed. I'm sure mostly because I had eaten the pizza.
Let me be clear: I didn't eat because I was depressed, I was in a GREAT mood Monday. Even when we ordered it! I honestly don't know why I did it! I sure wasn't hungry... ugh.

So today I was depressed. I went to bed after sending the boy off to school, and I didn't get up till 11:30. I snacked all day. Not a lot at a time, but all through the day. And again, when I wasn't really even hungry. I didn't have lunch, and had a small portion of chicken with red beans and rice for dinner. I didn't want food, because I felt really sick. I had snacked all day on almonds, a trail mix bar, cereal and sun chips... and now I feel sick. I don't get sick often. Hardly EVER. But today I got pains in my stomach, that really hurt. That turned into a sick feeling. Without getting to graphic, I've spent a lot of the evening on the toilet.
That's what I get for filling my body with a bunch of crap.
I am so embarrassed.
I wasn't even going to write at all. I figured I'll come back when I'm feeling better and all will be well. BUT you know me. I would have felt guilty. On top of that, over at Jo's blog yesterday, she happened to ask: What is our responsibility, as bloggers, to our followers? I answered, that the only 'responsibility' I feel I have to my followers is to always be HONEST.
Well, I've always been and always will be. Even though I had a horrible couple days, I HAVE to share that, because it's part of my journey and I can't leave it out just because it sucks. Or because I am so ashamed of it. Which I am.
I'm still feeling depressed, now along with sick to my stomach. BUT I don't want to snack anymore. I don't want to eat ANYTHING. I can't change what I did the last 2 days, but I can do better tomorrow.

I REALLY was feeling so great and so motivated. I just want that back. I'm going to get up tomorrow and do my best. No matter my mood, I won't eat like I did today. I won't eat unless I'm hungry, no mindless snacking. I hope I don't feel sick tomorrow, but if I do it's my own fault!

I did weigh myself for my weight loss tracker, and it wasn't pretty.
I also got on the treadmill during The Biggest Looser. Ugh, I didn't want to. I put it off till the last 15 minutes of the show. My heart wasn't in it and I hated it the whole time. But I did it.
20 minutes/ .77 mile, Incline 1
I think I'm done with The Biggest Looser. I've watched since the beginning, except for one season. But I am having issues with this season, big time. It's not inspiring me this time, but only pissing me off. Which is crazy, I never would have thought I'd stop watching.

Anyway. Thanks for hanging in there with me.

I hope you all are doing well. Better than me at least!

My Luck has Changed (and Happy Fun Pants is Awesome! lol)

As you know, life has been a little stressful lately. BUT, it seemed like Sunday night, my luck changed, FOR THE BETTER!
We sold all the cookie dough needed to send the boy to school camp. YAY. Then I decided to check my email, and got a message from Happy Fun Pants- I have won $150 visa gift card from her review blog!!!! Whaaat!?!?!? ME??!?!?! I never win ANYTHING! That really picked me up lol. After writing about my cousin and the month I've had, that was just the greatest surprise! :)

I didn't really even do anything! Just left a comment of about 3 sentences, and that's it. Most of you have probably read her blog Smaller Fun Pants, and if not you should check it out. It's one of my favorites. (I'm not just saying that because I won lol, It really is one of the first blogs I started following, and I LOVE it) She is so honest about her struggles and her life, it just really inspires me.

Her review blog is fairly new, and I suggest you check that one out too! I mean, if I could win it with 3 sentences about setting my toaster on fire... anyone can LOL! So go to Reviews by Happy Fun Pants, you could win!!! AND it's always a fun read :)

Happy Fun Pants will not take any credit for my random win, but for real- if it weren't for her I wouldn't have visited and I wouldn't have won.
SO THANK YOU HAPPY FUN PANTS!!!! :)
(also, thank you for "following" my blog!)

Wow, I wasn't planning on dedicating this post haha :) Maybe I should change the title...

In other news: There was a sever storm tonight, my brother and one of my cousins have no power. They are about 7 minutes away. There is a huge branch in my yard and someones chair on the side of my house.  Nothing broken, still have power, the bird feeder didn't even fly away! I really don't know how it didn't with the crazy wind!!!! SO I feel even more lucky! So I won't even mention that the stupid news cut into The Biggest Looser about 5 fricken times to let us know about the storm..... lol

I'm not going to lie, I have also been feeling pretty down these last few days... and I don't know why! I feel so lucky, and yet I feel like I'm getting depressed anyway.... But I really DO feel like my luck is changing :) And I know everything will be ok!

I made it to day 40 with the treadmill, and then I was SO tired Sunday night by the time I decided to do it... that I ended up deciding NOT to do it. The next day I was regretting it a little... but instead of starting all over in my counting the days, I'm going to stop. 40 days, and it's definitely habit, but you want to know something??? Keeping track of how far, and then trying to beat that number every week actually kept me from going farther... that probably makes NO sense. Here's the best way I can explain: I was thinking to far ahead, when I would figure out how far I would have to go each day to beat the last week, I wouldn't do more even though I could. You may remember I mentioned I haven't even been sweating the last few days. But if I go to much farther, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to top that the next week.... So anyway, I'm still going to keep track of what I do each day, but I'm not going to obsess about what number day I'm at, or beating it next week. I think this will make it easier for me to stay on it longer! K :) hope that made sense lol.

My food hasn't been to bad. I have been snacking more than I should. Maybe not the BEST choices, but my portions have been really good :) Yesterday I had a really bad head ache and didn't eat very much at all. I did have one can of pepsi though :( and I haven't been drinking nearly enough water, but I'll do better tomorrow.

Today I walked while watching The Biggest Looser
Treadmill: 20 minutes/ .75 mile 5 minutes with 2 LB weights
If you were here last season, you might remember that I always did my Biggest Looser Walks. This was back when I had got up to a mile per day, and would just stay on it as long as I could during the show. I got up to 3.20 miles the last time. Well, my plan is to do that again this season. If I'm going to sit and watch a 2 hour show, I might as well walk instead :)

I'll update you on the family drama, and how the stress is really weighing me down tomorrow :(
For now I just want to concentrate on how lucky I am, and how everything will all work out fine. Have a good night everyone!!!

New Walking Plan

I was doing so well with my walking plan for aver 2 months straight, on it EVERY day. I slowly started missing a few days here and there... until the last couple weeks when I only did about 2 days each! I was even walking for longer periods once per week during my 'Biggest Looser Walks.' Working up to 3.2 miles the last time. BUT, since The Biggest Looser went off, I haven't done any long walks, even though I planned too... For some reason I am having a very hard time getting motivated to get on the treadmill. There is never anything on tv anymore to keep me entertained, though that shouldn't be a reason not to get on it I know lol. So anyway, it's time for a new plan!

I am going to get on the treadmill every MORNING. The 2 times I actually did it, I felt better and happy knowing it was out of the way. I didn't wake myself up, like usual when it's getting late and I have to get it done...
AND I found the perfect show. What is on everyday week day without fail? What is perky and always happy? You got it, The Price Is Right!!! What better show to get me in a good mood and motivated to walk on the treadmill! With all of its cheery contestants, bright colors and fun games... I think this is just what I needed lol. So every morning at 11am, you can find me on the treadmill :) I will aim for 1 mile per day. Since this is an hour show, after I get back into the swing of things, I don't think doing more some days will be a problem. I would eventually like to work it up to 10 miles per week. That would be 1.43 miles per day. Like I said, eventually :) As for the Biggest Looser walks, maybe I'll wait till the show comes back on and see how I feel! As for the weekends, I might not enjoy it as much without The Price Is Right, but I need to do it anyway!

Here's what I ate today:
Breakfast: fried egg with cheese on a sour dough muffin
Lunch: tuna sandwich with 1 tbs miracle whip and hot pepper rings on whole wheat, 8 baby carrots with 1 tbs light ranch, water
Snack: 1 oz almonds, 9.5 oz iced coffee
Snack: 1 oatmeal cream pie
Dinner: 2 cups creamy broccoli tuna helper, 3/4 cup small peas, 1 slice of whole wheat parmesan toast, 1 1/2 cup ff skim milk
Snack: chocolate eclair ice cream bar
Snack: about 1 cup of salsa/cheese/chili with about 12 tortilla chips
Snack: 1 bite of cantaloupe (I don't think it's any good anymore, had to throw it out)
Total Water: 40 oz Plus 10 oz Sobe LifeWater
I ate more then I should have, but I paid attention to what and how much... will do better tomorrow. The eclair bars are gone :)
I tried my sandwich without the shredded cheddar usually have in it. I figured it would cut calories and maybe I wouldn't miss it... well I missed it. I'll keep it in mind for down the road, but for now there will be cheddar! :)
I only had ONE iced coffee today :)

Treadmill: 26 minutes/ 1 mile   8 minutes of that with 2 LB weights
Definitely the easiest it's been in a couple weeks. Watching a fun show like that helps me keep my mind off of it :) And it's such a good feeling having it done!
It's 11pm, and I am prety tired. Since I have the treadmill done, I can just go to bed! Woo Hoo!

The Biggest Looser is Over

For THIS season that is. I am not ashamed to say I love that show. Of course the last 3 or so seasons they have really had no shame in placing ads throughout the show... and it is annoying but that's not enough to make me stop watching lol. Jillian gets on my nerves sometimes, she actually annoyed me so much that I didn't watch the last season... but I love Bob enough to make up for that too haha. So I'm back to watching it.
I so admire the bravery of the people that go on that show and put it ALL out there. And so happy for the ones that truly change there lives :) It is a great motivation! I am changing my life, it may not be as fast as it is for the biggest looser contestants... I can't work out ALL DAY and have them buy me only healthy foods. I am not going to get $250,000 when I loose a lot... I'm in the real world and I know that. I know my change will take much longer. Slowly but SURELY :)

Here's My Day:
Breakfast: (230) Fiber Plus Bar- Dark chocolate Almond, 1/2 iced coffee
Lunch: (417) Sandwich (2 oz turkey, 8 pepperonis, hot pepper rings, 1 tbs miracle whip) on whole wheat, 4 baby carrots, 6 garden salsa sunchips, water
Snack: (131) 2.5 oz strawberries with 1 yoplait light cup strawberry shortcake yogurt, Water
Snack: (50) 1 Hershey's Toffee Almond Nugget
Drink: (65) 1/2 can brisk raspberry iced tea
Pre Dinner: (170) Romain salad with tomato dressing, 3 tbs croutons, 1/4 cup mozzarella
Dinner: (645) 1 cup of spaghetti with 1/2 cup chicken, broccoli alfredo sauce, 1 slice of whole wheat parmesan toast, 1/2 cup of peas, 1 cup ff skim milk
Snack: (50) 1 hershey's toffee almond nugget
Snack: (281) .5 oz almonds, .7 oz cinnamon almonds, other half of iced coffee
Snack: (20) tiny pinch of mozzarella
Total Water: 40 oz
Total Calories: 2059
I just been eating so much it seems! I don't know why I am so hungry lately... Gotta snack less.If I were a stronger person maybe I could through those Hershey Nuggets out... but I just can't! 2 isn't bad though... I would like to keep it at ONE per day. Ray and my son are eating them too. So they won't be here much longer lol ;)
Treadmill: 81 minutes/ 3.2 miles A New Biggest Looser Walk Record! Woo Hoo! 5 minutes of that with 2 LB weights.
I actually did it earlier in the day, because I have been having trouble with my legs. I figured I'd do what I could and finish at my normal time while the show was on. BUT after a bout a mile and a half, my leg felt better and I did it all at once :) I'll still call it my Biggest Looser Walk, even now that the show is done lol. I guess I have to figure out when I want to do it now... Maybe I'll try it during the day again next Tuesday. We will see! I hope I can keep the motivation with out the show, because I really need to keep doing it!

Jillian's new show is starting next Tuesday, Loosing It With Jillian. Is anyone going to watch it??? I probably will... don't know for how long though. Like I said, sometimes she gets on my nerves lol. We'll have to see :)

I'm back. I stayed up way to late, got hungry and ate some pop corn and more water. Why? I don't know! Because it was quick and easy I guess. Dumb. Popcorn hurts my stomach I think... my insides hurt now.... So anyway, that adds 150 calories and another 5 oz of water.

The Biggest Looser VOTE

First I have to say hello to 2 new faces!  Teresa and Mama Page, Thank you so much for joining me in My Day!

Here's My Day:
Breakfast: (330) Fiber Plus Bar and 9.5 oz iced coffee
Lunch: (397)Tuna Sandwich on whole wheat, 8 baby carrots wit h1 tbs light ranch
Snack: (356) 15 Chips and cheese with salsa
Snack: (140) 18 strawberry yogurt covered raisins (one serving)
Dinner: (310) Meijer Lean Entrees- Thai Style chicken  (Frozen meal, wasn't very good)
Snack: (101) 8 strawberry yogurt covered raisins
Drink: (160) Most of a 9.5 oz french vanilla iced coffee
Snack: (16) 2 strawberry yogurt covered raisins
Snack Very Late: (143) 1.1 oz  of cinomon almonds
Snack 2am: (360)  large bowl of Reese's Cereal with 2% milk
Total Water: 50 oz
Total Calories: 2353
Ice cream and chips... I have been giving in a lot lately. A chips and cheese snack like I had today? I used to have that EVERY DAY, and twice as much. I have to cut that out right now or I will be right back to that point! I checked the tortilla chips for the calories just now, and noticed that it says All Natural and is 140 calories per 11 chips. That's better then the ones I usually have in the house, my usual tortilla chips are 150 per 7 chips! This is the first time we got these, grabbed them at Aldi's. They taste just as good so I'll stick with them I guess! I just can't have them with all the fixins every day!

I feel like all I did was eat all day... I am surprised to see the calorie count, thought it was much worse. I don't know what happened. I started the day off great... it got cloudy and rainy looking outside... I don't know if that did it or what... or if trying to figure out how we are going to pay our bills did it... I don't know. Guess I was just a little stressed today. I'm good now though :) Walking is good for stress I think.

Now to The Biggest Looser. As you may know I take my biggest looser walk while I watch the show every Tuesday. The last 2 weeks I didn't do as well as usual, ever since I got sick I just hadn't worked back up to what I used to do. But that's all over! Today I reached my weekly goal of increasing the distance of my Biggest Looser walk. It was only by .01 from the last record 3 weeks ago, but I am happy with that. :) I was sweating like CRAZY but I felt good!
Treadmill: 81 minutes/ 3.19 miles A New record Woo Hoo!
The Biggest Looser is going to be over next week!!! If you watch it, you know this, and you know that we have to vote to keep one of the 2 bottom people in the race for the title of The Biggest Looser, and a quarter of a million dollars. Through the WHOLE show I was rooting for Koli. He reminds me SO much of my Ray. He acts like him, is really just so much like him... like a long lost twin. Yes, he even looks like him. The same dimple and everything! So obviously he is my favorite....
BUT, then there's Daris. I still love Koli because of Ray, but the one I see myself in is Daris. He holds everything in, and isn't as emotional as some of the others.  Tonight he came back to the ranch and weighed in... +2 Pounds! Oh Daris! My heart sank for him. He did get emotional, and at the end when he pleaded his case to us, my heart broke for him. I saw myself in him more then ever. He went home, and couldn't stick with it. He got stressed, messed up and ate the wrong things... and gained. But even though he messed up, he wants it so bad. Even though he made mistakes, he still deserves the chance to win. Even though he gained 2 pounds, I think he still deserves the chance at a better life.

I mess up ALL the time, (including today) but I know I deserve this. I won't give up, all I can do is keep trying. So that's why in the span of about 3 minutes, I changed my vote from Koli to Daris.
If you want to vote for Daris, the number is: 1-866-492-6801
of course I am fair and have been so attached to Koli that I'll give you his number too lol.
To vote for Ray, er, I mean Koli LOL: 1-866-492-6802

I'll be happy for whoever wins :) I just see so much of me in Daris. He has his whole life ahead of him and I hope he can make the best of it! I hope the same thing for myself. I hope the same thing for ALL OF US :)

What is GOING ON?

I don't know what is going on... everyday I say tomorrow will be better, and something else happens.
Today I woke up with a horrible head ache. I didn't realize it at first, but it IS my 2nd day without pop. So it was probably a caffeine withdrawal. The MAIN reason I have to stop drinking Mtn Dew. The head ache soon turned into a migraine and I was in bed until about 1pm. (except the one time I had to get up and be sick) So it wasn't the perfect start to my starting over, but I did ok...
I was SO HUNGRY all day, I think by over eating (especially yesterday and Sunday) I stretched my stomach back out. Seriously. I was hungry ALL day. I didn't give in though. I grabbed a bag of chips and literally thought "No! What are you doing!" and put it back after 2. I tried to do good with my portions and have some veggies. I need to do better, but I'm ok with how I did today.

As you saw yesterday, I gained 2.8 pounds. Ugh, depressing. The only good thing is that it wasn't my Friday weigh in, so I still have time to fix it before it goes permanently on my weight record! BUT it was still a bummer :( Big time. When I weighed in last Monday, I knew it wasn't really accurate, because I had been so sick. So I figured I hadn't really lost. BUT if I would have done well this week, I could have lost again, or at least kept it the same!!!!
Now Tessa's challenge only has 3 weeks left!!! I can't believe it has gone by so fast! So to get to my target for the challenge I will have to loose 15.75 pounds!!! That would be 5.25 per week... that's a LOT. I don't loose that much per week. I don't think I can do it, but I want to try my hardest. If I come close to that I will be happy. If I try my hardest and don't make it, I will be ok with that. I can't change how crappy I have done in the past, but I can try harder now :) (oh, I'm not even going to mention I am in competition with Emaciated Asphyxiation, I'm just going to pretend all I have to do is get to 271.85 pounds, and am only against myself LOL!!! Less stress that way haha)

I have actually been getting pretty depressed. Being sick and burnt threw my eating all off, and kept me off the treadmill. Later in the week, some of that was just an excuse, no doubt about it. On top of all that, I haven't been doing anything I have to do. It's like ever since Sunday I have been on autopilot. I was just getting through the days... I can't really explain it, I can't really remember most of the week, I can't believe it has been 9 days because it doesn't seem like it... I'm actually going to read my blog entries because I just can't really remember much... it's weird. Just because I was tired and down I guess... I know I had ZERO ambition, the few days I got on the treadmill were forced, but I'm glad I did. I haven't been keeping up with housework either... my house is trashed and that always depresses me.
OH! Today I realized 3 of my bills are late! I never do that! Last week I just didn't do anything I needed to do! Now I gained, and hate the thought of getting on the treadmill. My house is a mess. On top of all that, 3 $30 late fees on the bills I missed, UGH!!!

I guess I just got overwhelmed and shut down... that's the only way I can explain it. It is times like this that I really fear I am more like my mother then I want to admit. I hate it, and it only depresses me more...  I hate this feeling.
I especially hate that I fell back into old habbits that easily... maybe not as bad as before, but I was getting there- FAST.

All I can do is move forward. Tomorrow get started on all the laundry and dishes that are piled up. Ray did start on the laundry for me today, even did a little dishes. I don't know if he felt bad because I had a migraine, or if my mood scared him into it? lol, either way, it helped a lot and I'll get my butt back in gear tomorrow.

Here's My Day:
Lunch: (437) Tuna Sandwich on whole wheat, 10 baby carrots with 1 tbs light ranch, water
Snack: (9) 2 sunchips
Dinner: (590) 1 1/2 cup hamburger helper(with 96% lean beef), 1/2 cup mixed veggies (canned), 1 cup FF skim milk
Snack: (100) chocolate sundae cup
Snack: (260) strawberry frosted mini wheats with 1 cup ff skim milk
Total Water: 35 oz
Total Calories: 1396
I am hungry right now, but I know I don't need anything! It's going to be hard, because I can tell my stomach isn't like was before I started over eating again last week :( I know I can't keep eating though. I am pretty sure I will need that 4 am snack that I haven't needed in a while now... if I have to have one, I will make it small, just so I can go back to bed.

Treadmill: 64 minutes/2.5 miles
Tonight was The Biggest Looser. That show is such a motivation to me. I'm sure it gets old for some people, not me! Maybe because the people on it are actually my size, and to see them work so hard makes me realize I can do more. I try to walk a little more every week on Tuesdays while I watch it. WELL that is another thing I ruined this week. I couldn't go farther then my last record of 3.18 miles. In fact I couldn't even go that far. BUT I will next week :)

Today was OK, Tomorrow will be even better!!!

Tuesday- MUCH Better

Oh my goodness, I feel SO much better today. Not totally normal but GOOD. My face and chest are pealing :( It's pretty bad on my chest, I hope it all heals up all right! my stomach still feels a little funny but a lot better. I have been taking almost cold showers, and they seem to help. I slept pretty good last night! My skin isn't burning anymore, just uncomfortable where it is peeling. All in all I am pretty happy, I do feel so much better then the last few days. Especially Sunday, I look back- and I was in pretty bad shape...

GATORADE! Duh! Why didn't I think of that? That sounds like exactly what I needed! I still am not feeling quite normal, so maybe I'll get some tomorrow. I have no idea what vegemite is, I will have to google it :) BUT it's the thought that counts! :) 
Thank you all sooo much for your comments, it really means a lot to me. It's so nice to have people actually care about how you are doing!

Here's My Day:
Lunch: about 1/4 sub (ham, mushroom, mayo, pepperoni), about 1 cup of pasta salad, water
Snack: 1/2 tuna sandwich on whole wheat
Snack: bowl of strawberry mini wheats with 2% milk
Dinner: 1/2 small pan of chicken alfredo (one serving), 1 cheese stick, Salad with light ranch, cheddar and croutons, 6 oz mtn dew
Snack: about 3 slices of a large golden delicious apple
Total Water: about 45 oz
Life is trying to sabotage my weight loss I think. Me and Ray were driving home today, and he wants Burger King for lunch. I say "Ok, but I'm not getting any." With out even having to think about it! I was SO proud of myself! (That's the second time in about a week I said no while he had fast food!) So I'm planning on a tuna sandwich with carrot sticks and we get home... no power. Ugh! I only have an electric can opener, AND didn't want the fridge open longer then necessary since I didn't know when it would be back on. So I knew that the bowl of what was left of pasta salad was right on the top shelf with the rest of my sub on it. SO I grabbed it and that's what I had.
I was tired and took a nap, when I got up the power was on and I still wanted a tuna sandwich, so I had 1/2 of one.
By dinner I was feeling pretty worn out again and didn't feel like making anything, and what does my son have? A free personal pizza coupon from his school for Pizza Hut, for the reading program. It didn't take much, I gave in right away. So me and Ray got the pasta deal and he got his reading pizza. Online the nutrition info says "all natural chicken alfredo pasta" so that's something... maybe... no? lol, ok so it's fast food anyway, alright alright :)
While I'm not proud of what I ate today, I am proud of the portions.

Being worn out I think is just the heat stroke hanging around, but I feel SO much better today, I'm hoping I am 100% tomorrow :) I really have been taking it easy and not worrying to much about anything but feeling better (you can tell by what I ate and the state of my house right now...) but when biggest looser came on, I just didn't feel right sitting and watching it!!! (as you may know, EVERY Tuesday I watch The Biggest Looser and walk on the treadmill for my long "Biggest Looser Walk.") I felt... guilty! I was feeling pretty good and decided to just do a little bit. I ended up on it for a mile, and had to get off to run to the restroom. When I got back I could have got back on, but decided not to push it. It's not my 3.18 mile record from last week, but I'm fine with that. Back to normal next week! I was actually afraid it would be like starting all over having missed 3 days... but it was far from it! I was so relieved! I may have sweat more then usual, but I wasn't panting or anything :) Maybe it was an unrealistic fear that 3 days would ruin everything I had worked up to, but it was real for me!!!
Treadmill: 27 minutes/1.01 miles
Now, I am pretty warn out and up later then I have been the last few days. I have to get up at 3:35am and bring Ray to work, but then he has 2 days off, yay :) I need to get to bed. I think I will sleep very well tonight! :) I hope you all do too!

A Buffet- Ahhhh! The Horror!

Haha, I know buffets are scary, and today was no different. We tried this new place that is really close, it's not new- just new to us. It wasn't planned either, Ray and I were on our way home and hungry, so we stopped. It was a Chinese buffet and very good. It was a smaller place with fewer selections then we're used to, but that helped me not get so much :) The first plate was VERY small. Pretty much a bite of a few different things plus 3 crab rangoons. The second plate was more, but still not a heaping plate at all. Then one more small plate. I didn't really care for the rice, so only bout a quarter cup of that. I tried my best to add up the calories, and it came out to more then I thought it would. That's because I forgot about all the crab rangoon :) I was full ALL day.

Dinner was leftover tacos... oh my goodness it smelled so good! I ain't gonna lie, I wanted some SOOO bad. I was still full from lunch though! I was still going to have a little bit... but I didn't :) I decided I could have some tomorrow, I knew I didn't need it. ALSO I had to do my Biggest Looser Walk yet, and if I would have had any, I would have been to full to do it! So I resisted temptation :)
I got hungry about 10 pm. The old me would have gotten that stuff out of the fridge in a heart beat. The new me decided to have some grapes and water :) I'm not hungry now, I bet I will be after I take Ray though so expect a 4am snack on tomorrows menu lol.
Here's My Day:
Breakfast: (210) Fiber Plus Bar- Dark Chocolate Almond and 1 cup of FF skim milk
Lunch: (1481) 1/4 cup fried rice, 6 little pieces of chicken and 6 crab rangoons with less then 1/2 cup sweet and sour, about 1 cup of Broccoli chicken stuff, 1/8 cup of broccoli beef, 1/8 cup creamy chicken stuff, 2 small halves of egg role, Water
Dinner: Nothing
Snack: (30) 15 Grapes (some were HUGE so it may be a little more calories...)
Total Water: 40 oz
Total Calories: 1721
Hey, what the heck is up with this thing! I took a picture of one of my giant grapes and I can't figure out how to post it!!! They changed it and it's stupid :(
Total Treadmill: 86 minutes/ 3.18 miles A new distance record. Yes, it's only .01 more then last week, SO WHAT! It's still more! LOL :)

Is That Sandwich For Real!?!?

Ok, confessions first lol.
I knew Ray was going to try KFC's "Double Down" today. I didn't really want anything to do with it, have you seen this thing? When Ray told me about it I thought he was joking!!! It's a sandwich... I guess... So we get there and he tells me it's only $1.00, and I HAD to try one. SO I did. I thought of Tessa when I got it home, I know she thinks I eat to much bread (and she's absolutely right!) So check this out:
LOL! Yes it is exactly what it looks like... a sandwich with 2 pieces of chicken for the bun, and 2 slices of cheese and a strip of bacon. Some kind of orange sauce also.  It was NOT a dollar either. It was $4.99!!! I am not going to lie, it was VERY good. (I sat down with a fork and enjoyed it, I didn't eat it like a sandwich lol) BUT, it was NOT worth 4.99, not at all. It tasted good, but at 540 calories was not worth the guilt. AND I was hungry 10 minutes after I ate the thing! It's not as big as it looks. Definitely a first and last for me.
All I can say in my defense is... at least there's not bread??? LOL, I know that's a sad attempt to make it better. I can say that I resisted the urge to order their mashed potatoes and gravy, which I LOVE. I am proud of myself for that.
K, confession time out of the way.

Here's My Day:
Breakfast: (130) Fiber Plus Bar- dark chocolate almond, water
Lunch: (615) heart attack sandwich... err.. I mean... KCF Double Down, romaine salad with 1 tbs light tomato dressing and 1/8 cup cheddar, water
Snack: (123) 1 yoplait yogurt- apple turnover with 1/8 cup kashi go lean
Dinner: (680) 1 stuffed chicken- asparagus, 1 cup broccoli cheese rice (from pkg), 1 cup FF skim milk
Snack: (400) 1 piece of chocolate cake, 1 ice cream cup, 1/2 cup FF skim milk
Snack: (320) 1 1/2 cup Apple Cinomon Cheerios with 1 cup FF skim milk
Total Water: 44 oz
Total Calories: 2268
I bought these little single serving sundae cups of ice cream. In chocolate and strawberry. Each one 100 calories so that's cool :) It will help me not over do it with ice cream.

Tonight was Tuesday, The Biggest Looser was on. As you may know, I go for my long walk every Tuesday while watching it. Today I walked for 90 minutes non stop! Wooo hooo! 90 minutes was kind of a goal of mine... and now I've reached it. I have proved to myself that I can do it, I have built up endurance that I didn't have before. I could have NEVER stayed on it for 90 minutes before 2010.
Treadmill: 90 minutes/ 3.17 miles   Wooo hooo!
Now that I have reached my time goal, I am going to start concentrating on distance for my Biggest Loser walks. That is a long time, and I don't want to end up dreading it by making it any longer!! I'll try to go a little farther each week, and if I don't want to be on it 90 minutes, I guess I better speed it up!

I don't know if anyone has checked out the animal cams at all, but the red tailed hawk's chicks hatched this morning, 2 of them. There is still an egg left. Since there is no night vision on that one, I'll have to wait till the morning to see if it hatched. Exciting stuff! Well...for us at least :-) And no, this new addiction is NOT helping with my schedule AT ALL...

A Girl???

I logged on today... and there was something different... it was... a new follower! I have to take a second and say thank you to Tricia for joining me in My day! I really appreciate all of you who support me. It really has made the difference.

I had a good day today, but realized I have gone backwards a little in the past 2 weeks. Well, if you go by eating fast food- I have gone backwards a LOT. I was on the treadmill and it just hit me, If I am going to eat like I have been, why am I on the treadmill??? All this hard work and I waste it by eating take out... I HAVE to get back to where I was a few weeks ago. Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of how far I have come, and even this last week was better then before 2010... but it is slowly getting back there... and I don't want to EVER get back there. I have to take control now, before that happens! I am NOT saying that I will never have fast food again, that's just not possible for me right now... but I NEED to stop thinking about it daily, and thinking of it as a meal option for 'whenever.' Otherwise all my hard work will be wasted.

Here's My Day:
Breakfast: (330) Fiber Plus Bar- Dark chocolate almond, 9.5 oz mocha iced coffee
Lunch: (940) Chicken wrap(Tyson's breaded chicken fillet cut up, lettuce, cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, light ranch, flour burrito size tortilla), 15 cheddar sunchips, Water
Drink: (60) 6 oz Brisk lemon iced tea
Snack: (300) about 1 cup ice cream- Kodiak Island Fudge
Dinner: (820) Pizza Hut- 1 portion (1/2 of the small 'pan')  of chicken Alfredo, 1 cheese stick, Water
Drink: (200) 9.5 oz french vanilla iced coffee (why? I already can't sleep... smart right?)
Total Water: 37 oz
Total Calories: 2650
Yeah, that's a lot of calories :(  I am proud of myself for sticking with the Just ONE rule for the pizza hut :) It was really hard for me, cause that stuff was SO good...
Treadmill: 88 minutes/3.07 miles (had to take a potty break at 48 minutes, but still a new time AND distance record for my biggest looser walk! woo HOO!)
Crunches: 160 (70,30,30,30)

Well, I am going to share this because it's on my mind...
my son likes a girl! Ahhh!!!! He told me though, so that's good :) but... wasn't he just 3 years old?  He can't like a girl!!!
He is 11, but so much younger then I was when I was 11. I just... was shocked lol. He told me she's in his class and I had to pry out of him that she is blond. That's all the info I could get... a name was non negotiable... I'll set up the chair and bright light in the basement for an interrogation tomorrow...
haha. no not really.
After my initial shock (that I didn't show) I guess it's kinda cute...I think it's just an innocent crush... but it raises so many worries for the future...
I have already told him he can come to me about anything... I've used tv as a segway, I try to monitor what we watch, but stuff just jumps out when you least expect it! the things they say on tv... it's crazy... but I have a couple times asked if he knew 'what that meant' when he glanced at me... he says no and I say do you want to know? And he says NO... so I say "Well, if you decide you do want to know, let me know. If you ever have any questions you can ask me ok? You can talk to me about anything." I'm sure he KNOWS he can talk to me about anything... but that doesn't mean he WILL... My mom never talked to me about ANYTHING, so it's brand new to me...(when I was 15 and told my mom I wanted birth control, she said "no you don't" and it was never brought up again)...but I think I'm doing the right thing.... He told me he likes a girl... so that's a start right??? :) that does make me happy. He is such a great kid. We have such a good relationship, and I can only hope and pray it stays that way as he gets older... he will be a teenager sooner then later.... OMG... I can't talk about that right now... scary...

A GREAT Day, if you don't count the eating...

Let's get the bad stuff out of the way. We were out and about for a good 5 hours, and I stopped at Burger King. I only got a whopper though. BUT at the next stop I did grab some funyuns... so lunch was pretty unhealthy. For dinner was leftovers from Hungry Howie's, but less then half of what I ate last night... I'm trying to see the positive side, but honestly- I did pretty bad eating again, no doubt about it.

Here's My Day:
Breakfast: (140) Fiber One Bar- chocolate Mocha and water
Lunch: (810) Whopper -onion(still have no tomatoes, is this shortage everywhere?), about 1/2 bag of Funyuns, 2 fries, water
Snack: (140) about 1/2 bag of Funyuns
Snack: (42) 1 snickers mini
Dinner: (542) Leftover Hungry Howie's- 1/4 turkey club sub(no mayo), 2 small cheese sticks, iceberg mix salad with 1 tbs light ranch and 1/8 cup mozzarella cheese. Water
Snack: (75) 1/8 cup of starburst jelly beans
Snack: (420) 36 biscuits (1 1/2 servings) of frosted mini wheats with about 1 1/2 cups of FF skim milk
Total Water: 60 oz
Total Calories: 2169
Now to the good parts of the day :)
I got my new camera, and so far I like it! I'm so happy! I LOVE to take pictures, and I had this nice Kodak camera for about 2 years an I just loved it, until it started acting funny about a year ago. Now it just works when it wants to. It is SO stressful to me. I ordered another Kodak, when it came I was so mad. It was a cheap piece of plastic that didn't have near the features it should have for the price, I sent it back- disgusted. (I really don't see why everything cost more and more, and is made cheaper and cheaper... doesn't make sense to me!)
The one I got today is actually a GE, and I don't know anything about their cameras... but so far I really like it :) Now I have a camera that I know will stay on and work when I need it! The old Kodak was twice what I payed for this one, I hope this one last longer though!!!! (I bought a 2 year warranty lol) Wish me luck!

We had to go to JC Penny today, got my sons pictures taken. We are a little late on that, but better late then never! It's his 11 year old pics, he is getting so old...Even though he wanted to dress casual, and NOT get a hair cut, they came out real nice :) So then I had to go pick up the camera from Sears. It is on THE OTHER SIDE of the mall. I mean direct opposites lol. Since I parked right at the JC Penny portrait part, and the pick up was in the back of sears with convenient parking... it would make sense to drive around. BUT, I figured me and my son could use the exercise and we walked it :) It was a LOT of walking, at a good pace too since I didn't stop at any stores, but we did it! I'm proud of myself for that. Just so you know, I NEVER go to the mall. I haven't went and walked around the mall in a few years, because I couldn't walk that much anymore! But now I know I can :) and that feels great.
This is My son, my World  :)
My son didn't put up a fight about walking either, wanna know why? For Easter we got him this new Pokemon game for his Nintendo DS. It comes with a "pokewalker." It's pretty much a pedometer, and it allows him to put a Pokemon from the game in and walk with it. The more time he spends walking with it, the more experience points it earns because of the time he spent with it! When he gets home he transfers the data to his game, so it's like he accomplished something!!! Haha, those of you without children into Pokemon, might not think this is as awesome as I do LOL. But I really think it is SUCH a great idea, especially if you want your child to get some more exercise. I told him he can't bring it to school, so he'll have to walk around outside after he's home or go on the treadmill :) I just love it, if you can't tell LOL. haha, WOW, I should get payed for promoting Nintendo LOL...

All the walking I did today, made me tired. I was a little worried about my biggest looser walk. Usually on Tuesdays I make sure I don't over do it during the day so I can walk a long time at night, NOT today! But I got on the treadmill anyway and hoped for the best! As I was walking, I realized that I would come close to 3 miles if I just did a little more then last week. So that was my goal- 3 miles! During 3 commercial breaks I sped it up and really pushed my self and then walked faster then usual the rest of the time. And I did it!!! 3 miles!!! AND another longest walk record for my biggest looser walks, well ANY walks on the treadmill lol.
Treadmill: 87 minutes/3MILES!
(If may seem to take me a long time, but I am very short- and 291 pounds so cut me some slack LOL)

Ok, now for MORE good news... NOT that anyone cares, but today my period was GONE... I had a 4 day period!!! Maybe that's not a big deal to you, but it is to me! I have NEVER IN MY LIFE had a 4 day period. They are always LONG and HORRIBLE and PAINFULL... with out to much detail- just know that I had a 48 day period in January, and then a 9 day one in February, nothing in March, now this 4 day one... if they actually become normal and 4 days becomes the norm- I will be the happiest person on earth!!!!!!!!!

Ok, that's enough for now. I am exhausted, a good exhausted :)
Being so happy makes me think something bad is about to happen... cause that's how it usually goes for me... but I am going to stay positive and hope that's not the case :)
See you tomorrow!

Got the Munchies...

Here's My Day:
Breakfast: (347) Whole Wheat Toast with about1/2 tbs FF ICBINB and 2 tbs peanut butter, 1 cup FF skim milk
Lunch: (475) Tuna Sandwich, Spinach and iceberg salad, Water
Snack: (364) About 1 1/2 cups of Cap'n Crunch. Immediately after: about 7 Lays sour cream and cheddar chips
Dinner: (700) About 2 cups of Creamy Broccoli Tuna Helper with added broccoli (which my son was NOT happy about, but Ray and I liked it), 1 slice of whole wheat toast with 1/2 tbs FF ICBINB and Parmesan, 1 cup FF skim milk
Snack: (290) about 1 1/2 cups of Capn crunch with FF skim milk
Total Water: 44 oz
Total Calories: 2176

I don't know what it was today, I just wanted to eat! I was craving some pizza is what I think the problem was... It got bad after lunch, I just had the munchies! After snacking on a couple things I realized I wasn't going to stop unless I did something drastic!!! HaHa, so I went to bed. LOL. I was pretty tired and figured if I was sleeping I wouldn't be eating... not the best way to deal with it, but it worked today :) and I didn't order pizza! I also had two helpings of tuna helper for dinner... I'm not mad at myself- but I REALLY didn't need two.
I had peanut butter today :) I LOVE peanut butter... I don't think I have had ANY since I started this blog. I had started getting heart burn from peanut butter, and I HATE having heartburn so I have avoided eating it. My son had it for breakfast and I just couldn't resist! The good news, I didn't get heart burn!!!! I'm really happy about that... but now I see how many calories is in it, so I'll try not to have it everyday.

It's Tuesday, time for my Biggest Looser Walk. I did 2 more minutes than last week :) which makes my new longest time on the treadmill 82 minutes! Woooo Hoooo! The back of my heals still looked messed up, but didn't bother me until I got in the shower again...STIIIIING! My right one is kind of bad. I just hope they are both healed up by next Tuesday!
Treadmill: 88 minutes/2.74 miles  :)
I'm going to go over to my mom's in the morning after I drop my son at school. She said she wants to loose weight too, and she wants to start walking. She said I should come over and walk with her, so I will. We'll see... Hopefully she gets up and we really do go for a walk.
I'm not worried, I know it won't be a long walk- but I also know that walking on pavement is different then my awesome treadmill LOL. So we'll see how it goes!

The Biggest Looser (want to be on the show?)

Today is Tuesday, Biggest Looser Day! As you may know, I try to stay on the treadmill as long as I can while I watch The Biggest Looser. For the past 2 weeks I have been on it 78 and 79 minutes- which are the longest times I had EVER been on the treadmill. (Even though I had to take a potty break last week) If I could add a minute every week, I could have a NEW longest time ever EVERY WEEK! So tonight my goal will be to stay on it for 80 minutes :)
Speaking of the Biggest Looser, I ran across this site looking for people to be on the show next season! I won't be filling out an application, I am NOT that brave. And to be honest, I could never hang! I mean those people work sooo hard! I would probably die! Anyway, here is the website if anyone else is interested!!!
http://www.thebiggestlosercasting.com/

Here's My Day:
Breakfast: (312) 1/2 bagel with about 1 oz cream cheese, 6 oz orange juice
Lunch: (440) One slice of leftover chicken garlic pizza MINUS the crust, and the other half of the club salad. Water
Dinner: (523?) about 4 oz pot roast, 1/2 small potato, 5 baby carrots, a little bit onion, 1 cup FF Skim Milk
Snack: (154) 14 grapes, 1 large strawberry, 1 tbs fruit dip
Snack: (290) Frosted Mini wheats (24 squares) with 1 cup FF skim milk
Total Water: 58 oz
Total Calories: 1719
Today I used my crock pot for the first time :) I made a pot roast, well me and my fiance that is :) It came out really good. And I did soo good controlling my portions! I threw away the nutrition label before I wrote it down, so I had to use the internet and hopefully I got close...

Treadmill: 80 minutes/2.6 miles  Woooo Hoooo!
Crunches: 100
I feel great today. It's just one of those days :) There is room for improvement, but I look back at today and can see how far I've come.
I have to mention my fiance... I love him everyday, but some days I just look at him and realize I love him so much. He has never ONCE said anything to me about my weight gain, he always makes me feel beautiful even when I feel like the ugliest person in the world. He has loved me at every weight, and I am so thankful for that. I don't have to loose weight for him to love me, and that makes me love him even more, and want to loose it even more, so he can be proud of me.

79 Minute Biggest Looser Walk

First- I want to thank Barbara and Asphyxiated Emancipation for joining me in My Day! I'm so glad you joined Tessa's challenge. I think it will really motivate us :) This is gonna be fun!

Today my fiance and I were out and about, and ended at the drive through at Arby's and I got a sub.(It's just so hard to pass up those subs when they are on sale for $2) but JUST a sub. This is the first time EVER I went to Arby's and didn't get a jamocha shake. I was thinking about how awful I felt the other night, and it wasn't hard to say no.
I definitely didn't do great on the snack either- and broke whatever small "no pop" streak I had going there... grrrr.

Today is Tuesday, Biggest Looser Day. I watch The Biggest Looser and walk on the treadmill as long as I can. Last week was my longest EVER at 78 minutes. I would love to be able to do that again, even one minute more would make today the longest EVER lol :)
I better start doing crunches again too...
Here's My Day:
Breakfast: (210) 3/4 cup of Special K- Fruit & Yogurt with 1 cup FF skim milk
Lunch: (570) Arby's turkey bacon club sub
Snack: (361) 6 pizza rolls, 6 baby carrots, 1 tbs light ranch 1/2 can of Mt Dew
Snack: (90) Special K Bar- vanilla crisp
Dinner: (675) 2 servings of Creamy Broccoli Tuna Helper, 1 slice of whole wheat toast with Tiny bit of FF ICBINB, about 1/2 tbs Parmesan, 1 cup of FF skim milk (i really didn't need 2 servings...)
Snack: (60) 1/2 cup grapes
Total Water Today: 56 oz
Total Calories Today: 1966
I just finished the seedless red grapes. I forgot how good those are!
Treadmill: 79 minutes (2.56 miles)
Crunches: 100 (5 sets of 20)
Walking was a challenge today lol. As I was getting on the treadmill my son makes me get off and come look- one of the fish I just bought was evidently pregnant, and the tiniest little babies were in the tank. So of course he wants me to get them out so they don't get eaten... so after 10 minutes I saved TWO lol. Then I get on the treadmill and feel GREAT and have to get off at 46 minutes for a potty break. But I really wanted to do that 79 minutes so I got back on and finished the 53 minuites. Not the 79 minutes non stop, but I'll take it :)

What was I THINKING!

I actually had a pretty good day, so lets get the bad stuff out of the way!
Today is the 4th day in a row I have had Mtn Dew... It is so hard to resist sometimes, it is ALWAYS in the house... but no matter! Tomorrow it is back to NO POP!

My eating today was bad... I didn't even want to write about the snack... the other day I even wrote I had to throw that macaroni salad away or I would eat it even though I didn't even like it!!! WELL, I put it in the fridge until I was ready to take out the trash- BIG MISTAKE. I went to the fridge (where there are delicious good for me fruits) and there it was. What would go good with that? potato chips... UGH!!! What was I thinking!?!?! At least I measured it out so I could count the calories instead of eating straight out of the container/bag. BUT I felt so horrible after I ate it, I threw it in the trash. Half the container still full- that is a big step for me...
So then we ordered inn. Usually I wouldn't be SO mad at myself since it was an improvement from before 2010... but it really is WAY to much food!  and oh my goodness the calories!!! On top of not needing to eat all that, (I was full), now I see how many calories were in it! OMG! Yeah, I'm embarrassed. BUT I said I would always be honest so I'm posting it anyway... as always...

Here's My Day:
Breakfast: (185) Fiber One Bar- chocolate mocha, 1/2 cup of FF Skim Milk
Lunch: (263) Leftover potato/chicken in tomato sauce w/ 1/2 cup of white rice. 1 cup of 2% milk
Snack: (34) 1 bite of ice cream- Dean's Mint Meltaway
Snack: (575) 1/2 cup macaroni salad. 11 sour cream and cheddar potato chips. 1/2 can Mtn Dew
Dinner: (1252) Hungry Howie's- 1/2 Turkey Club Sub with 1 packet of mayo. 1 small piece of pepperoni pizza, 4 cheese sticks, 1.5 oz sauce, 1 cup of Mtn Dew.
Total Calories Today: 2309
Total Water Today: 50 oz

Oh good, that's out of the way...
Now to a little good news. Today was Biggest Looser Day, and I always try to stay on the treadmill as long as I can stand while watching it. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do my hour, since we had Hungry Howie's, but I did! In fact, I got to the hour and I felt pretty good, so I went a little farther! I did an hour and 18 minutes! That's the longest I've EVER been on the treadmill!!!! SO even though I made mistakes today, I ended it on a good note and feel great. I only have 3 days and it will be weigh in, so I need to get back on track tomorrow and stop this over eating nonsense!!!!! Now all I have to do is ignore the leftovers calling me from the fridge...
Treadmill: 78 minutes (2.5 miles) Yeah Baby!

The Biggest Looser is back :)

I did good today. I DID have a slice of pizza for lunch, because it will be thrown out if it's not eaten today... BUT I only had one, even though there is one left in there! I am going to throw it out- and not feel bad about it! I HATE waisting food, but it's better in the trash then back on my body! usually that pizza would have been gone the night we got it... so I am making improvements. Slowly but Surely!

I'm a big fan of The Biggest Looser (although, I did miss my first season last time... every season Jillian gets more and more.... lets just say she pisses me off). Anyway, I enjoyed the Olympics, but I am SO glad Biggest Looser is back on :) It really motivates me, I have even made it my time to try and do the treadmill as long as possible. So far I have stayed on it for an hour 3 times. (I didn't have biggest looser so i did it during survivor last week)
It might not seem like much to some- but that is a long time for me! being over 300 pounds really makes things harder, but already I am building up endurance... AND am no longer over 300 Woo Hoo! The more I loose the easier it will get! A few months ago, an hour would be IMPOSSIBLE.
So tonight I will try for an hour :) I think I can do it!

Here's My Day:
Breakfast: Fiber One Bar-chocolate mocha, 1 cup of FF Skim Milk
Lunch: Romaine and Spinach Salad with 3 grape tomatoes, 1/4 cup cheddar, 10 small croutons, 1 tbs light ranch dressing. One slice of leftover pizza with about a tbs of light ranch. Water
Drink: 8 oz of V8 Fusion- Acai Mixed Berry
Dinner: Romain, Spinach, carrot salad with 1 tbs light ranch, about 1/4 cup cheddar, 6 croutons. small serving of left over tomato parmesan chicken. 1 piece of garlic bread. 1 cup of 2% milk
Snack: Bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats w/Strawberries with 2% milk
Total Water Today: 46 oz

Treadmill: 1 HOUR (1.9 miles)
Woo Hoo! I did it! It was harder for me this time, I wanted off at 30 minutes! But I pushed through and am very happy :) I am taking a break from crunches tonight, my belly hurts! I don't know if it's a good hurt or not... but don't want to take any chances lol, I'll give it a one night break :)
I am sooo tired. A good tired :) See you tomorrow!
