Wonky

Yeah that's a word... And one I like.  So because I have had a wonky work schedule this week I have had to work out at home more.  I am moving the days around so I don't have to keep missing workouts.  Missing to many workouts just puts me behind.  So instead of back and biceps or legs I am going to do shoulders and abs and do the other two Thursday and Friday.  I will probably have to take the time to hit the Navy base but no worries there.  A little me time at the gym will probably do me some good.  That or do one of the days on Saturday.  Next week will get even more crazy LOL.  But it will all be worth it in 12 weeks when I look amazing.

Fresh start to go with my new job

So Friday I am changing jobs or in the military we call it getting transferred/new orders.  I am being transferred to a ship.  Still here in Seattle but it will for sure change my schedule.  And lets be honest I have been in a serious self destructive mode lately.  So to go along with my new job I am getting a new attitude.  It's going to be great and I am finally going to finish losing this weight.  I have been stuck at 165 for too long.  So I am going to do the live fit trainer since I am no longer training for my 1/2 marathon.  New job = lots of changes to plans for this fall.  So since I don't need to do cardio its a good time to get back on the live fit band wagon and eat better.  We are committed to paying off debt so in case the hubby losses his job we can still eat so that means no eating out.  We are doing good so far.  It's hard because eating out was so common for us but it will help our weight and our pocket book LOL.  So today I did Day 1 of the live fit and it felt great to just workout.  My stress was quickly released.  Tomorrow I hit the grocery store and get the food to eat clean from here on out.  Gotta get some fruits, veggies and chicken.  So goodbye to excuses and hello to a fit, healthy me.

Wednesday hump day

Wednesday seems like a rough day for working out sometimes.  Its mid week, I'm tired since the baby doesn't sleep through the night and sometimes I just don't want to work out.  But I got on the bike for 40 mins on my trainer.  I ate a yummy salad for dinner with strawberries and almond slices and chicken.  All in all a good day.

Moving forward

Because you know starting over just isn't the thing to do.  Starting over isn't what I am doing.  But moving forward and realizing that I just having found what works.  Trying something new to find what works is the thing to do.  So we are moving on, moving up and losing weight.  Yep I will get derailed, lots of people do.  But the key is to keep trying.

Rode my bike for 40 mins and it was great.  Tomorrow the goal is to ride and do a video.

Ride and a swim and down 3 pounds

I rode my bike yesterday on the trainer for 30mins.  The big thing was testing my ankle to see if riding was going to make it worse.  Good news I can ride.  I then did push ups and sit ups.  Today I swam 1000 yards in 30mins :) and did push ups and sit ups.  Got to look good for the wedding.  I was 163 today so down almost 3 pounds since I went back to a mostly paleo lifestyle and stopped eating out.  Amazing what a difference it can make.  I hope to do more as the weeks go by and I workout more and eat better.  We are also trying to not make a trip to the grocery store until hubby gets paid on Monday so we are learning to eat what we have.  We have plenty of food we just need to be better about eating it and not letting it go to waste.  So tomorrow is steak, Friday is fish, Saturday will be elk or chicken and Sunday will be whatever we didn't eat on Saturday.  We had yummy peppercorn chicken and a salad.  Peppercorn chicken not my favorite but loved the salad and have enough left to have salad tomorrow.  I am glad to be seeing results and only be 6 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight.

New pictures and a goal

So here I am in all my fatness LOL.  Trying on bridesmaid dresses was for sure depressing.  But I am going to do my fitting in 4 weeks so I need to do better than 4 pounds lost in 5 weeks.  I am eating 75% paleo, not eating out and really pushing my workouts.  I want to lose 30 more pounds in the next 3 months.  That would be wonderful.  So there it is. My next goal.  If I can get through this week I will have broken the eating out habit I think and be well on my way.

Still working out

I am still working out but with our trip this weekend and then the craziness of being back I just haven't had a chance to post.  So Saturday I went for my run.  I didn't go with the team since we were out of town but I did go.  I ran for 50 mins and did 3.75 miles.  That is a big deal for me.  I have never gone so far in one stretch.  I am so proud of myself.  I then did 25 miles on Sunday through Portland it was fun.  I went with my sister, and hubby.  Monday I rested.  Tuesday was a run day and after Saturday I was feeling good about running outside.  Well that didn't last.  I got to my halfway 20 min mark and was 1.6 miles in. I was so happy because that meant my 3.1 or 5K time had improved by 5 mins.  That is a big deal for me. It also means my 1.5 mile time has improved by 2 mins (just realized that).  But on the return trip I sprained my stupid left ankle :(.  So now I am limping and just trying to rest in the hope that I can be up to running Saturday with my team.  If I am still hurt I will go and just hang out.  Either way I need to get back from this injury quick.  I am skipping my run tomorrow.  I thought about riding but really I just need to get better.  STP is in 6.5 weeks.  I can't get injured!!  I did get my jersey in, wohoo so I am going to try to get hubby to take a picture of me in it.  How fun.  Ok that is my fast update.  Baby has been sleeping like poo so I am off to bed before she wakes again so I can get some sleep.  I will post more later ;).
