Update

I stepped on scale this morning, I'm now down to 148.50 lbs. I have lost one pound! I thought for scale that I had gained another pound because I have been eating like crazy. The baby is getting up at night to nurse maybe due to a growth spurt. Anyways, I thought that I had gained weight but I managed to be under 150 pounds with my clothes on! I'm almost positive that the weight will stay off this time. I'm even hungry at the moment even though I ate a ton last night. Trying to breastfeed plus lose weight is so damn tricky.

My workout Plan: I pulled my shoulder muscle yesterday trying to pick something off the floor. So, I'm not going to be able to lift weights until it heals. I was schedule to do weight lifting plus kickboxing. Due to pulled muscle, I might just run on my treadmill. Arghh, I always seem to hurt myself.

This week:

Tue: walk
Wed: run
Thu: walk
Friday: run
Sat: run

I would like to add in weight lifting but I will have to wait and see what happens with my pulled muscle.

Yippe!!!!!!!!!!

All of my measurements are still the same except for hips: I'm now down one inch! I wish it was more but maybe things are starting to move in the right direction.

Fatty Me!

I started to work on losing weight about two week ago. It's been kinda crazy, I really wanted to get out of the 150's but my weight just kept on yo-yoing up and down. I lost three pounds but I gained it back. What's going on, I figured it must be muscle gain. On Sunday, I gained back two pounds but on Monday I lost the two pounds. I'm now weighing in about 149lbs. I don't ever want to be back in the 150's again.

I'm hoping to work on changing my diet. I want to try for a diet high in protein and low in carbs. Yes, at the bbq it was all carbs. I went back to livestrong.com and start tracking my calories. I would like to lose up to two pounds a week. I would love to be back to my old weight in about 12 weeks or less.

I'm back to running three days a week plus weight lifting the other three days. I'm going to try to squeeze in some walking plus sit ups.

Leroy did point out that he thought my arms were starting to look more muscular. So, maybe my weight gain was due to muscles.

I willn't give up. I'm so not happy with my body. I'm older and the baby isn't coming off on it's own. It didn't come off with Leah either. Oh well, only hard work will make the difference. I will not give up. Only losers quit. I'm not a quitter!

Cancer Challenge 5k Report

Sorry, about the crazy hair pictures! Okay, now to the race report. I'm so freakin excited about my time. I thought I would have a bad time. Let's back track a little bit. I haven't ran a 5k since last year. Yes, it's been over one year. I had been focused on training for two half marathons but then I ran into all kinds of running injuries. It's been a long recovery plus my knee is still bugging me.

The weather was perfect plus the course was really flat. I forgot to charge up my running watch so I just ran it with all of my heart and mind. I really thought I would be slow. I was so shocked when I round the corner and saw the finished line. It was in the 27:?? on the finish line clock. I did my fast hard sprint to the finished line and my chip time was 27:40. I thought I PR but it's not sooooo. My fastest 5k PR was back in 2009 at War Eagle of a time of 27:26!

I'm going to try to bet my time with another 5k race either next sat or in two weeks. It's so awesome to end on a positive note.

I did come in 3rd place for my age group which is even better! My running buddy came in 1st place for our age group.

Life is good!

The rest of the week is shot! I'm going to the temple and a woman's conference in OKC this weekend. I'm not sure if I will have anytime free to workout. The hotel is going to have a pool so I might be able to get some swimming in but I'm not sure. I'm going to double up and work out super hard to make up for the short week.

My arms and shoulders are starting to look really good. I would take a picture but I can't find my memory card reader.
