Going Strong

I've been doing really well over the last few days. I gave myself one meal this weekend to go a little crazy and ate at Marie Callenders. Had some potato cheese soup, corn bread and a slice of german chocolage pie.

And then I felt extremely guilty about the whole thing. I should have had the veg soup, skipped the cornbread and picked a different pie. But I will say the pie was pretty yummy ;-)

I'm down 3.5 lbs since last week so only 9 lbs to pre preggo weight and after that only 19 lbs to GO! Whew! It sucks that this last year I didn't lose any weight :( but I'm the weight loss train and it's only a matter of time (and a bit of hard work and self discipline) before I'm back in my skinny jeans ;-) Can't wait!!

I'm so going to shock all my cheerleaders next fall! AND I'm going to win that $200 bet with Batman!! Sadly, (for me anyway) he was down 9 lbs this week. 9 lbs! Who does that? GRRR! Guess I have to step things up a bit ;-)

sore, sore, sore, sore...

Yesterday on top of p90 yoga, I went on a power walk with a girlfriend of mine... for 2 HOURS. It really felt great to be out in the sunshine, but good HELL I am sore today! I think I used muscles I didn't even know I had! Yikes!

I splurged a little on dinner and had a slice of margherita pizza with my ginormous cabbage salad. I didn't feel bad about it one bit since I missed lunch. And according to daily.plate I was actually in the minus for overall calories since I did so much working out.

On the docket for today? Legs and back p90 and ab ripper... Boy is that going to hurt!

p90 yoga isn't so bad...

So this week I started back on p.90 and I've done pretty well so far I think. I actually have made it through ALL the workouts including yoga (which used to be my least favorite). Yoga certainly kicks my ass, but I think the more I do it, the more I might actually LIKE it!

I'm feeling good about what I've been eating for the most part. We ate at Dickey's last night for my MIL birthday and honestly I felt so sick after eating the few bites of pulled pork, I ended up puking it up (not on purpose mind you) and I probably won't be going back there. Even if I do like their big yellow cups ;-)

It's funny because when I plug in all my food on daily.plate I feel like I've eaten a whole lot more calories than it is telling me. But I measure everything, so I guess it's pretty accurate? I'm guessing my real intake is about 20% or so higher, which still puts me on track.

I haven't weighed myself since Sunday (last "bad" day) because Miss has changed the scale to kg instead of lbs and I can't figure out how to change it back... plus I have no desire to look up a conversion online. We've needed a new scale for a while so I may just get a new one when I get a 20% off coupon from BB&B.

I don't think I'm going to post all my food intake as it seems redundant to what dailyplate does. But I am going to try and post about how I'm doing, whether good or bad- but hopefully all good ;-) and about my workouts, how I feel, etc.

Isn't that why I started blogging in the first place?

back in the saddle

okay, gonna start posting my food and fitness again in an attempt to stay on track. Batman and I have a bet going on who can get the "fittest" while he tdy... there's $200 riding on it, so I HOPE I win! Plus I'd really like to fit into these jeans again (this was 4 years ago the day Batman came home from Iraq)




So I've been entering in everything into daily plate. So far so good, but it's only been 2 days so....

Here I go again.

Starting up again

I've been a complete slacker on both the posting and the healthy eating, so we are going to try this again...
Batman and I are signing up for a race. We are still deciding whether 10K or half marathon, but we found a training program that would work for either (it's geared towards a half). Today starts our training, so wish us luck ;-)
Oh and I think I may try to jump on and update throughout each day as I eat so I can be a more vigilant poster... we will see if it works?
