weighed in again...

So I've been working out all week. Monday I went to power hour, Tuesday Zumba, and today I ran Couch 2 5k day 1 week 1 with an awesome friend. I weighed in this morning and my new weight is....drum roll please.....

199! WAHOO! I'm under 200lbs! It's an amazing feeling!

here we go again...

So I tried Zumba on Thursday night and let me just say it was SO much fun. It was an awesome workout and it didn't even seem like working out. I had a lot of fun being with the girls, Lori, Becky and Ashley and that made it go by so much faster. Kathrina did an amazing job of teaching the class and was a great help when we would get lost. My diet however has fallen down. I have a really hard time focusing on more then one thing at a time. I have to choose working out or food, and when I get one under control it's easier for me to add in the other. So right now I'm focusing on working out and then when I get back from vacation I'll start working on the food. My goals now are to:
work out Mon and Wed- power hour class on base
Tues and Thurs--Zumba class on base
run 3 times starting couch to 5k week 1
Make it to couch to 5k week 3 by the time we go on vacation and actually run while I'm on vacation.

okay, lets see how this goes!

Day 1

So day 1 went good I guess. I felt exhausted and weak all day, but I didn't get much sleep the night before. I didn't make it to go running because husband decided to go fishing for 5 hours. So here's what I ate yesterday (boring I know!)

breakfast:
2 eggs, scrambled
reduced fat cheese
2 slices of burnt turkey bacon

morning snack:
cheese stick

lunch:
salad of--
lettuce
mushrooms
cucumbers
low fat dressing

mid-afternoon snack:
cheese stick

dinner:
baked cat fish
salad of--
lettuce
mushrooms
cucumbers
low fat dressing

uh oh...

So deciding to start a diet on a day where you can not go grocery shopping and you have nothing to eat in your house is a BAD idea. I repeat, BAD! And going and hanging out with a friend who you haven't seen in a while in the middle of a rainstorm is also a bad idea on the first day of dieting. So yeah, after a few slices of pizza (blush) and some potatoes for dinner I'm going to hit the ground running tomorrow. Literally! I'm going to get up at 7am and go running and then start south beach diet for my 2 weeks. So as I promised yesterday, here are my highly embarassing stats

weight: 201 lbs
stomach:39.5 in
waist: 31 in
hips: 41 in
L thigh: 29 in
R thigh: 30 in
L arm: 13.5 in
R arm: 12 in
buttocks: 48.5 in (holy ass!!!)

so now that I'm highly embarassed and going to hide under the table and eat a bowl of ice cream, you can all sit wide eyed staring at my HUGE measurements.

and so it begins...

I've finally decided that enough is enough. I'm going to start a diet tomorrow for sure! And I will succeed this time. My goal is for my coworkers to not even recognize me when I start back to work. Since starting at Roosevelt in Sept 2009 I have lost almost 30 lbs, but I still have a long way to go. I know I have an amazing support system and awesome friends to run with and keep me motivated, and I thought that I would start a blog so that I can keep myself motivated as well. And by documenting how it goes I'll be able to keep up better of my progress.
GOALS
*Loose 20lbs in 1 month
*Learn to accept myself in my skin at the weight I am currently so that I may better embrace myself as I loose it
*Start couch to 5k and stick with it
*Complete phase 1 of South Beach diet

I'll post stats tomorrow....
