Ouch. Okay, maybe this will be my wake up call. Because I clearly NEED something to help me get my butt back in gear. It's apparent that I will not see my goal of 175 by November 13th.
I am going back to limiting my starchy carbs. I WILL GET UP ON THE DAYS I DON'T RUN TO DO 15 MINUTES OF KETTLEBELL. I will STOP eating junk while watching TV at night. I will do it even though I am discouraged and feeling like my motivation and determination is on a permanent vacation.
You got this! Looks like you got a great plan!0 -

Checking in on my month so far as of 10/14
My Goals for October are
1) Run at least 40 miles- 11.9/40
2) Lose 4 lbs (which will get me back to my pre-preg weight)
9/30/13- 159.8
10/4/13-159.4
10/11/13-159.4
3) Drink 64 oz water or more per day -3/14 days
4) Cook a clean/healthy dinner at least 6 days a week (with the exception of 10/25-10/28 which is a trip for my anniversary) - cooked all but 2 days so far but some of the meals were not so clean,t
This week I am focusing on water consumption, cooking cleaner. My goal is to run at least 3 times (Tues, THurs, Sat (race)) to get me more on track with my miles. Eventhough I am not quite meeting my goals, I feel I am moving in the right direction.0 -

Progress!!
I have cut back on my starchy carbs. I saw instant results from this alone. I don't respond well to them. I have gotten better with the late night snacking. I have gotten out of bed and did kettlebell twice. I am feeling pretty darn good.
My current schedule is:
Mon-Wed-Fri: Kettlebell for 10-15 minutes in the morning, walk at lunch
Tue-Thu: 2 mile run on lunch break
Sat: Longer Run (going to try for 5K this Saturday)
Sun: A run/walk combo, maybe some yoga. This is my "rest day" but I find that if I go 2 full days with no running, it's really hard to pick it back up. Maybe it will get easier when I am more conditioned for it, but for now, I need to keep up with it.
I am focusing on eating more of the low-carb, high fiber veggies and more protein. I would really really like to see a weight below 180 soon. My goal of weighing 175 before November 13th is still attainable, but I am not holding my breath. I'd be content with below 180.0 -
OK I am putting my starting weight 9/27 as 159.
10/4: 159

Haha! I can laugh about this. I have been maintaining my weight at 159-160, however I have also been using a tape measure and have lost some quarter and half inches here and there. If I don't weigh 156 by Halloween, well at least I'll still be a bit firmer and smaller.
My women's running group is on hiatus due to people being sick and injured. I've still been running where I can fit it in, a mile here, three miles there.
Yesterday was my daughter's birthday, I homemade some cupcakes so they were a bit healthier than store-bought, and she doesn't care for tons of icing so they were light on that too. Yay! However, the potluck Halloween party will involve baked goods (either cupcakes or a small cake on my part) so we will see how the "bring a healthy snack" thing goes. Maybe I'll just bring two...
As for my protein goals...well, let's just say I blame my protein as the reason I am not losing weight, lol; it puts me over on calories when I try to get my 100 grams a day.
BUT--and this is big--I actually FEEL healthier. And that's the whole point of all of this.0 -

Checking in on my month so far as of 10/20
My Goals for October are
1) Run at least 40 miles- 20.2/40
2) Lose 4 lbs (which will get me back to my pre-preg weight)
9/30/13- 159.8
10/4/13-159.4
10/11/13-159.4
10/18/13-159.4
3) Drink 64 oz water or more per day -3/14 days
4) Cook a clean/healthy dinner at least 6 days a week (with the exception of 10/25-10/28 which is a trip for my anniversary) - So far so good, this past week was better than the beginning of the month.
I am really focusing on eating right and moving between Mon and Thurs. I really want to see some sort of loss before I leave for my trip. Not sure I am going to hit my miles but I have already run more miles than any other month this year so far so that is an accomplishment.0 -
-My first goal is to lose 4 lbs and get down to 125. I am still yo yoing between a couple lbs.
-Stick to one coke zero a day. I am currently drinking 2-3.
-Try not to eat after dinner. I usually eat too many snacks after dinner and put myself over for the day.

I'm going in the wrong direction! I did do more weights last week and maybe it's water weight but who knows. I wish I had taken measurements in the beginning.
I have been good with not overeating after dinner but the cokes are still at 2 a day.0 -
1) Workout everyday for 21 days, On Day 3 today.
2) Low carbs, high protein diet, which is a challenge being vegertarian
3) Eat well on the weekends (everything goes out of the door on weekends)
4) Stop eating daughters leftover food...everything she doesnt eat goes in my mouth
Only thing I have stuck to is #2, which has made a huge difference in itself.
This week I plan to focus on the other goals

Looks like it was water weight! Yay, now I just need to keep it going. I did have a bunch of cheez its last night after dinner. But I only had some spaghetti squash so I don't feel terrible about it. I love cheez its!0 -

Down 3.2 pounds in 3 months... At least I'm losing. Slowly, but surely. It helps to look at it like this, though. For the remainder of the year, I am going to focus on non-scale related goals.0 -
I am pleased to say I hit 157.8 a few days ago, but my end of month weigh in was again 159.
I did not gain this month, did a lot of walking, and continued with the healthy eating choices (just didn't do well with a calorie count).
I am OK with my journey this month.0 -
