After failing a weigh in for the Coast Guard I need to get myself healthy once and for all. Last time I blogged daily I did well. Hopefully this accounting will keep me moving. This is my way of tracking my progress and holding myself accountable to keep me losing weight and not give in to temptations. I want to lose the extra lbs gained over the years. Lets watch and see how I do.

Week 3 of my new running and a swim
I ran 2.84 miles this morning during my normal 40 min run. I only had a 3 min cooldown though because I should have done 32 mins of running to make the math work. Oh well :). I could have gotten closer to 3 miles if I had done those extra two mins LOL. Then took my youngest for a surgery consult. Tonight I had swim lessons for my older two and swam for 20 mins myself. I really must remember that nutrition is key when working out multiple times a day. I can't do a 30 min swim and get 1/2 or more miles without eating more. I did get a nap in this afternoon :). It felt good to get back in the pool. I also realized that a goal for once I make my goal and get to go clothes shopping is to by cute fashionable stuff. Not the frumpy baggy stuff I wear now. Although with the new body I intend to have I will want to show it off :). No more momma pouch for me. I know by the time my youngest turns 1 I will reach my goal weight. My goal body which includes a nice looking midsection might take longer perhaps January 2013... But I will get there. 1 year from start to finish isn't bad. I am making great progress and just have to keep moving. My training is picking up speed. I have a few bumps next week then its full steam ahead. Yeah because 15-20 pounds is 145-150 and who doesn't want to be down there from 211???
