Okay confession- Week three was not as disciplined as the first two weeks. I gained one pound...Well I have put that in the past and am working on a great week 4! I got 3.25miles in today! I am focusing on drinking more water and getting my exercise in.
I need to keep remembering how great it feels to see the number drop on the scale, and my clothes fitting better and better. That feeling is SO much better than the taste of food. Food is for energy not for entertainment. I need to savor my meals more and spend the time inbetween meals drinking water.
Let's hope for a great weigh in on Wednesday!!
Weigh in #1
Well today was the first weigh in for both of my weight loss challenges! I am happy to report I lost 3lbs this week! I was happy with that number, because I know some of the difference is muscle gain. I can see the muscles define in my legs, arms, and abs already. I cannot wait to see the changes after 12 weeks. This past week has kept me very busy. I have been working out twice a day almost every day. For this weight loss challenge I am going to keep things interesting by changing up my daily routine. This week I did the stationary bike and the elliptical along with my running. It was a lot of fun!
Me by the numbers:
Current weight: 166lbs
Weekly Mileage: TBD (I left my running log at work!)

Welcome 2011!
Happy New Year Everyone! I am soo excited to discover what 2011 is going to bring. This past year has been full of trials and blessings, and I feel like 2011 is a fresh start just waiting for us to makes some changes. David and I have set a few resolutions that are going to be challenging.
#1. Be good stewards of our money. To accomplish this, we are setting a new budget and going to the cash/envelope system. This change is going to be very difficult for us, however will be VERY worth it.
#2. We hope to focus our time and finances on the house. Our goal this year is to finish the projects we have started (remodel of the bathroom, laundry room, and finish the trim in the living room) and Lord willing we will be able to replace the rest of the windows and MAYBE reside the house. Woah, long list...we will see how well that cash system works for us! :)
#3. Be Healthy! I am going to focus on being active this year, and get atleast 2 races in. I am going to try to run in the mornings before everyone gets out of bed, and maybe at lunch if I can get to work on time to take an hour lunch! Both David and I are going to focus on eating healthy and more meals at home. I also signed up for a weight loss challenge to hold me accountable. I am starting the year at 167.5lbs... I will NOT be that weight at the end of the year.
#4. Last but not least- be ORGANIZED! Between working full time, school full time, and 2 kids I need to be more organized to keep up with life. I have placed a calendar on my fridge to track dates and we are setting up an office space for me to keep our paperwork and finances organized. A huge garage sale will be held this spring to help us declutter the things we no longer need.
Well here is to 2011! A year of change!
