Week 9: Wednesday Weigh In

Wow! I can't believe it's been a couple weeks since I last blogged. It's amazing how time zooms by, huh?

Well, it is that time again--Wednesday Weigh In. :D

I am down to 176. 

Yay!

Now I have to confess that I've been so busy with school work (and I've been sick the past couple of weeks!) that I haven't ran in forever. I miss it, too. :( I've worked hard the past couple weeks to keep my eating in check, and I think I've done a pretty good great job, no?

I am finally feeling better and will be back to running tomorrow. *happy dance*

In about 2 weeks, I leave for NC. Whoo hoo! I better make these next 2 weeks count... ;)

Updated: Ok, I just realized that I am officially down 25 lbs! :) Now on to losing another 25.

Run: 2 Miles

Today has been fairly busy, and I knew it would be, which is why I decided to get up around 6:30 this morning to get a run in. I only did 2 miles. Better than nothing, right? Well, about halfway through my run, I started to feel sick to my stomach. I didn’t eat before my run and that doesn’t work well for me. I’m not the type of person to eat first thing upon waking up; I need a couple hours of being awake before I can think about food.  I was aiming for around 4 this morning, but that so didn’t happen. I’m considering doing another 2-3 miles later today.


Last night, I almost caved to some yummy temptations. Hubby brought home some McDonalds. I am ashamed to admit this, but in the past I would have eaten 2 McDoubles and half of a large fry. That was in the past. Last night? I only ate 1 burger. Yep, that’s all, just 1 burger. No fries. I know that some are thinking “But you STILL ate McDonalds!” Yeah, I know did, but I didn’t stuff my face! I had already made a plan when he arrived with the burgers that if I was still hungry after the 1 burger, I would fry some shrimp and have a salad. I was full after the burger and didn’t need the shrimp or the salad. To some it may seem to be a silly victory, but it’s MY silly victory and I’ll take it. :)

If my weight this morning is any indicator of what Wednesday’s weigh in will be, I say BRING IT ON. I like the numbers I’m seeing and will do my best to keep my eating in check.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
