Wednesday Weigh-In

Well here it is. Wednesday. Which means weigh-in Wednesday. 

Today I was excited to see what a difference this past week has been. I knew it wouldn't be huge but at least was expecting a pound, making that slow move outta the 190s.  I've been trying to consciously watch what I'm eating. AND I got in a few miles on the road here in town.

So I'm not going to lie, once I saw the number I got on the scale 3 times!! Surprised by the number that was on there . 

This is the lowest I have been since having Abbie. 

Hopefully every weigh-in Wednesday I'll be able to say that!

Seeing 195 will keep me motivated this week, even though it's just 0.2 pounds from 196. Hopefully next week I can see 194, even better would be 193 to send me on my way to Mexico for a week!!  Which also means I won't get the weigh in next week...but will do it when we get back on Friday to help keep me in check.  Guacamole and Liquor will not undo what I've been doing!!

I've also gone for a run 3 times this past week. Started up c25k and tryin to figure out which week I need to be on.  It's a pride thing...i'll save that for another post. Which, by the way, I'm due for a deep post soon -- one that goes into my history and explains a few things. 

On a happier note, Abbie's FIRST birthday and party is this Saturday.  Then we leave for Cozumel next Thursday! Wow!

Here's to Wednesday!!

Tonight I ran...

Tonight I ran, and I enjoyed it.

I opted to start up the C25K program again...although I hate the stop/go aspect of it, I loved it tonight...for a while. I realized that the forced walking time was good for my pride. I was like "oh, I HAVE to stop because she told me to start walking" instead of "Dang it Krista....why are you stopping already!?!?"  I was content to walk instead of beating myself up this time. However, it was frustrating int he sense that I could run longer than she had me running. And at the end of it, I did it for 30 min which included 10 min of warm up and cool down and then interval running.   The frustrating part is that I did my last 5k in 37 min....so I'm tryin to wrap my head aroudn the fact of why didn't I just run that 30 min and be done with it?  Still not sure. 

Ethan and  I decided that I should probably jump a head a week or 2 in the training so the intervals are longer.  Tomorrow, no runs but on Monday I'll do week 3 or 4 and see how that treats me. I just don't get the running for 3 minutes bit...I can run for about 10 without feeling like I'm going to die.  Where's the week where they hold your hand over that?!? So should I skip ahead a few weeks and get to where I feel the workout or do I trust the process and stick to week 2.....   either way I'm skipping ahead.  :)

But here's to getting in a run today (Ethan ran 2miles this morning....atta boy!)
