Weight in

Whelp it's Tuesday and I can happily say I've lost and maintained 3.5 lbs! and the scale was down the 1 I gained last week :) So I'm excited because I was not expecting it.
We walked 2.5 miles today in about an hour so I'm excited over that. All in all, I can't complain today aside from being soooo sleepy. But eventually I'll get used to it!

Week 3 changes

Decided to change it up for the next couple of weeks. Walking will still happen, in fact I believe we are going to increase our length. Actually I think we did it today but shh, don't tell anyone :) We lost track (AGAIN) of how many laps but time-wise it was over our normal 8 lap time so we must have done 9. But I'm cutting off the cycling for a while.
I've been exhausted for the past 4 days and not in the mood to, so I'll let it go and just focus on the walking and getting my sleep. Hoss says it's probably more of the getting up at 5:30 that's doing it but whatever, I wanted to quit it so I will. It's also just too hot do it anytime but mornings and unless I'm getting up at 5, I don't have time. And I'm not getting up at 5 just yet.
Plus there is another reason that I can't get into just yet that has me not in the mood to do it.
Tomorrow is another weigh in and I'm not thinking good thoughts about it. I think after a weekend of cake and cokes it won't be favorable but we'll find out in the morning.

Hmmm...

So the link sort of worked just didn't show my details. Sorry it's blurry but herre it is -- you can see enough :)

Anyways. Today is a struggle. I promised myself that I would bike but I'm not seeing that happen anymore. I'm tired and my head is kind of hurting. But who knows maybe after I finish my second job.
Yesterday was also bad in the end. I did nothing but eat and was pretty darn grumpy not to mention clumsiness. Still grumpy and a clutz, but I think it's just sleepiness.

My Internet Training Log

So I gained a lb. Whatever, I expected it especially since I had a Dr. Pepper at what 10:45 p.m. last night along with cinamon twist thanks to BHM who can NOT control his need to eat out :) But I am working on a sustained 3.5 lb lost so I'm cool right now.

The following link is to my workouts and the log I've been using. Not sure how I feel about the calorie count but I'll take it since it's higher than what my stationary bike actually says! And I'm not sure how the link works so I'll come back later and post a screen shot of it.

Picture's worth...

So the long awaited Week 2 shots. Yep I know pins and needles :)
BTW I hate shots by myself. Hoss makes me feel less weird when he's in the shot with me.

yes I look like my momma

without glasses

Might as well go all around :)

IDK, roll with it

hehe, mug shots

Week 2

whelp it's almost that time again. Tomorrow I weigh in and on the one hand I'm looking forward to it. I've been working hard and it better show. On the other hand, I'm not -- I've craving salt and chocolate right now which will never end well. I think I'm going to take that obligatory picture today. My hair looks good :) and I'm in a dress that's a little snug so if I keep up with the pix in this dress, maybe just maybe we'll see if there is any difference. Maybe?
But I'm proud of myself. No I hadn't been eating at home like I wanted to but I made three goals!
Goal 1: Bike at least 3 times a week. I did 4!!! If you count yesterday with last week.
Goal 2: Walk every workday -- and we did!! 2 miles around 50 minutes each day. I'm loving the consistancy. We can talk and walk and keep it together -- we are talented. And LeCrete, I do believe we cut a minute or two this morning :) I got there around 6:03 and we finished around 6:50 :)
Goal 3: Get my 10 mile bike ride on resistance 1 under 30 -- totally took that out Friday. The next biking goal is resistance 2 10 miles under 30. Rode yesterday to see how long I was going to go. And it came in at around 33 minutes.
I'm still doing good mentally but it's only week 2 and I do weigh in tomorrow so we still haven't crossed a big hurdle.

Trial 1

Week 1, and we have our first trial for me. I've been exhausted since Monday evening. Maybe it was the total 13 miles I did between walking and biking. Maybe it was the 5:45 a.m. wake up call or even Tuesday's 5:30 alarm. But I've been exhausted. So I was already thinking about being bad and texting my buddy that I wasn't going to make it. But yay!! I didn't. Instead our mini-beast, Sandy, wakes us at 5ish whimpering and at 5:30 boom I hear the thunder and we understood the whimpering. Few seconds later, I get the text that says that the rain was going to cancel our walk. And it did. though really we could have walked afterwards. It only rained in my area for 15/30 minutes, I don't know about the ASH area.
So that minor trial completed -- not my fault. Then came I still have to exercise and I'm exhausted still. But I passed it! I got on that stupid bike for 10 miles and did it a little over 30 mins.
BTW, I've made that my goal. I want to do 10 miles in 30 minutes before I increase the resistance -- possible? Eh, I don't know. If it take another week, then I'll go ahead a bump it up to the next resistance but keeping the 10 miles. there are 10 settings so that should take a while and we'll see what happens.
