Still getting my exercises in.  Trying to get ready for the 1/2 marathon.  I'm nervous, but am determined to be where I need to be in march...It feels good to be out there, beting my personal best times and envisioning myself crossing that finish line.

The cravings I had are still troublesome, but I'm dealing with it.  I will overcome them because I have not been eating them...denying the body is a hard thing; but i feel the success coming.

until next time.....

NOTE;  made the best egg white omelet.  Add a 2 oz bratwurst (I know, high fat..but that's what i had in the house for protein), 1 TBSP shredded cheese, red onions, bell pepper.  It was ridiculously good.  I also had 2 oz cucumber and 2 oz carrots.....YUMMY

Things are going well.  Following my meal plan and getting the exercise in.

Today get to work and my protein drink is sour .... really?? that wasn't in the plan.  Luckily I had a pack of oatmeal in my desk...

I look back at those that have been and are an encouragement and inspiration to me and am so thankful.  I hope that I have been and/or can be the same to the next person.  it's not easy; this weight loss journey....I commend those who are at and maintaining their goal weight.  Hats off also to those that have their eyes on the prize and are focusing on that goal...I'm focused....it's just not easy

Have a good day and imagine you at that goal,.... that's what gets me through everyday at this point.

weight  150.6  (--1.4)
thighs      23   
hips        38
abs          33.5 (-2.5)
breast     38 (+1??)
arms      12.5 (+.50)


Having such a disappointing week with my struggles with sweets, the results are not so bad to me.  I look forward to a better week as far as what I give in to relative to my cravings.

Bought Egg Beater Egg Whites and love them....so have made Egg White omlets with spinish, peppers, tomatos and 1 Tbsp cheese...pretty good and low in calories/decent protein.  i'm looking this week at dense protein that will stay in my pouch longer as to combat the cravings.

Wish me luck

I am very excited at the possibilities that this 6 week challeng has for Nikki, Roz and I.  If the results are no pounds lost but a better grasp at self-control...i'll take it.

Here's to a great Sunday!!!!!!

Feel like I'm back on track mentally, although I know there will always be a battle of the mind.

No junk food in the house for  me to get....so unless I get in the car and go buy something; I won't have it.

Been in move the body mode all day...exercise, deep cleaning and shopping with my friend.

Was extremely tempted today to get a starbucks; something I BARELY IF EVER induldge in.  Then I said, "Maybe a banana"...then I realized YOU ARE NOT HUNGRY....CUT IT OUT.

I continued to sip my water until I got home and then made my lunch as I had planned.

Again, today has been a good day.

Today the scale says I'm up a pound, but tomorrow is my official weigh in and measure day....so we'll see.

have a good night OH 

Having a good morning.  Sticking to menu plan and hoping to finish work early to take on the weekend.

I am excited to have finally PAID for my participation in the Oakland, Ca marathon (I'm doing the 1/2 marathon portion).

As you've noticed, I've been struggling the past few days with cravings of sweets.  I switched things up a bit for more protein and will monitor how that goes.

have a good friday.

Added several pics from 2011. 

2 are of me headind to and then finishing the 2011 San Francisco Bay to Breakers

a couple of me at a Prince concert

and one of me attending a Mardi Gras celebration

Hope you like them.

I find as the days go by, the struggle is more evident.

I feel like I'm fighting against myself and the mental piece of this journey.  Not hungry, eating REALLY good choices, exercising as I committed to myself; but the inner me wants something more...something sweet and salty. 

Who said this was the easy way out i.e the surgery?  I wish the mental was as easy to fix as the rest. 

So I've done relitively well on the menu I set and the exercise routine I've outlined for myself.

Well, today there were some Cheetos...the GOOD PUFFY ONES that my son had in the house.

Well, I tried to ignore them, move them,etc...but they knew my name and kept taunting me......so I attacked them so they'd never bother anyone again

Needless to say, I ate some...too many that I'd like to admit to...but i'm being accountable to myself, so I'll say I ate ALOT.  Aftermath was I DUMPED  for about 15-20  mins.  THAT'S WHAT I GET. 

Back on track I go......

Nite Nite all

Why oh why can i not get through the night without battling myself?

The days are GOOD and not so hard to stay on task, but at night my body/mind goes into over drive.  Yup, fell to the temptations again and ate some crackers when I know I was full.  I've eaten everything as I planned out, trying to add crunchy stuff at night...such as an apple (I have to have crunch....kinda weird I know).

I have stayed on task as far as exercise and my meal plan (minus the cracker incidents), so I am feeling good; when the scale moves; I'll be even more excited.....still at Sunday's weight...which is OK....seeing that I haven't gained.

until tomorrow!!!

today is a rough day.  morning was good/afternoon tough.

have my meal plan fully in affect and struggling.  I AM NOT hungry; but still craving.....sooooo, i allowed temptation to get to me and ate some crackers...bad move and disappointed in myself; but still not giving in for the day.  still sticking to my guns and going to follow my meal plan the rest of the day...exercise later......ACCOUNTABILITY....trying really hard
