Yesterday I took the day off from working out because a. I was really busy, b. I was lazy, and c. I was really sore from the other four days. Today I got back on the wagon! Yay, me! So far I've lost about 5 lbs, which is kind of amazing and I'll take it! :-) Now to just keep it going...

So far I'm down 5 lbs! Go me! I've been exercising everyday this week! Go me, again! My run today did not go so well however. My stupid asthma kicked in after about 2 minutes so I had to just turn around and walk home. It's so annoying when your body won't cooperate with you, and this type of weather we're having right now isn't good for me. Let's home the progress continues, regardless.

The Goal: Thinner, Stronger, Faster

I know I keep chronicling my starting and stopping of South Beach. This time I'm completely committed!! I promise! I thought about changing things up and going with a different diet, but ended up deciding in the end that if I want to fall back into my old habits (my first time on S.B. habits) it would be better to stick with what I know. Along with the restricted diet I've also made a point to workout everyday, which I've been trying to do for about a month with some success. I have a walking/running buddy this time which makes things a little more interesting and the weather has been amazing for getting outside all winter.I've also decided to give myself 12 weeks to see if it's working or not. I read somewhere that it takes 4 weeks for you to notice the change to your body, 8 weeks for your family, and 12 for the rest of the world! So let's put it to the test! I'm always up for a good challenge!

Wish me luck! 

Oh it's on!!!

Just saw some pictures of myself, not impressed.

minus 8 lbs!!!!!!

I let myself have a brownie today. :-/ I don't care, I'll work it off tomorrow. One more day on phase 1, then I need to get my butt in gear with exercise.

Once More With Feeling

It's on like Donkey Kong! (what does that even mean?!)

I've decided I'm ready to get back into my old clothes. I'm sick of not having a wardrobe and I'm NOT buying more clothes. So it's time to get serious! I mean really serious! Diet and exercise are now top priority...well as top as they can be with all I have going on.

Back to 1

*sigh* Phase 1 again, the weight has been creeping back on and it's time to get serious.

Too much vacationing and Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs and not enough running.

So here we go again.

P.S. For extra motivation I'm going to remember how 2 different people asked me if I was pregnant the last 2 Sundays. And I'm going to forget about the fact that neither of these people are the sharpest tools in the shed to start with.
