I like getting up early to run!

I did work out 1 for week 2 of the Couch to 5K program!  I was at the track at 5:55 a.m.  I did my run, and it went better than I expected.  I get home around 6:30, and Perry was asleep in my bed!  I wasn't home 2 minutes before I heard Joce start yelling from her bed.  I was hoping for a quiet cup of coffee before the kids got up, but not today.  I have already showered and gotten ready, and had my oatmeal.  The kids are about to get dressed and we are going to the library.  I think I am going to clean out the silverware drawer before we go!  I feel like I get so much accomplished when I go for that early run.  The track is quiet, and I like going there.  I weighed in at 200 again today.  I am not understanding why I am going up.  Okay, okay, yesterday was a terrible food fest, but it was before that.  I am eating well, and exercising.  I thought it might be water retention from having my period, but that is over and no weight loss.  I guess I will have to be ultra vigilant about my diet this week.  Problem with that is that the MOPS Brunch is Thursday, and I want to enjoy it.  The other days will have to be very strict.  I really want to kit 185 before vacation.  I am not sure it will happen.  I am very tempted to go back to Slim Fast.  It really worked for me last year.  I just really worry about my kids seeing me do that.  I don't want them to learn that from me.  I want them to see me being healthy, and making good choices.  Hopefully I can get back under 195 again this week.  I am thinking of doing a work out/ goals/ rewards chart today.  I will let ya know how that goes!

Still at it!

I am in my second week, and going strong!  I weighed 197.6 today, which is up a little from last week, but I am not discouraged!  I started Couch to 5k yesterday, and it was great!  I was able to complete the work out, and I felt really good afterwards!  I got up at 6 a.m. and went to the track at the high school.  I am glad I did it that way.  The track is flat, and is made of ground up tires, so the impact on my knees was minimal.  I plan to do the same thing tomorrow morning!  I did Jackie Warner Crunch-Free X-treme Abs.  It was good!  I am already feeling it!  I may have to buy that DVD.

My eating has been really good this week too.  I actually did well at work this weekend.  Saturday was great, Sunday, not so much.  Not one French Fry on Saturday!  I did have a couple on Sunday, but not a ton.  I did pick on Sunday, because I forgot my fruit.  That really is key for me at work.  I have to have that stuff to eat, so I don't pick at the bad stuff.  I am trying to be really good this week.  Sunday is Mother's Day, and I do not plan to restrict myself that day.  Not that I plan to go hog wild, (Okay, maybe I do a little!), but I want to enjoy the day with my family, and if a big breakfast and a cook out are on the menu, I plan to enjoy it!  So, until then, super, super strict!
