Right path

So I am finally back on the right path.. Tracked my points yesterday and am down a pound.. One at a time, right?? Well, boot camp is back in rotation and I covered a class last night for the owner and so now i get 2 months of camp for free. I am stoked!

My goal is to post updates on Mondays after I weigh in..... Let's get this done!

Might be crazy!

For a couple of years now I have gone back and forth about my desire to run a 1/2 marathon... From absolutely to no way in hell - literally sometimes in the same day....

Well, I literally took my first steps towards a November 2nd half marathon today.. I am starting slowly, like really slowly but I am ready to do it.. My sister's are going to run it with me, so that will be fun.. Well maybe fun isn't the correct adjective but you know what I mean.

For me to be able to do this, I need to lose like 40 lbs before then. Good news is I really want to lose like 30 before heading to the beach in mid-June. I think this will help me to get these especially adding it to boot camp and indoor soccer once a week..

I can do this.....

Spring Style Challenge

So I entered this Spring Style Challenge. I am super excited.. Check it out here:

Off the wagon.....

It has been a tough first quarter of the year for me! The weather has been very cold and I just have not been able to muster the strength to get my workouts going... However, I signed back up for boot camp this month... I have not gone as often as I like OR as often as needed, but I am going and that is what matters!

Every time I feel like I have Weight Watchers all 'figured out' and my eating habits under control I cancel my membership and vow to keep it up on my own.. When am I ever going to learn?? UGH! Signed back up last month, but just now really getting going.

We leave for the beach in 12 weeks. I WILL be down back at my lowest point from the fall of 2012 - guaranteed!!!

Wish me luck!!

Week 8

Well, I am closing in on the end of my 24 day challenge... It will be done on Wednesday... I am down (as of this morning) 12.8 lbs! So exciting!! I am very proud of myself.. Halloween, and the 5 events we participated in, came and went and I was able (and might i add not really tempted to eat) to stay away from all of the sweets!

What really tested my strength was on Wednesday afternoon when I found out that my grandfather passed away. He was bigger than life. The past few years my extended family has fractured, but my family came together and celebrated his life.  My mom asked me to do one of the readings at mass. I was not sure how it was going to go, but in the end I am so glad i did it.... I will miss him greatly but he lived a long, full life and I am so happy that not only I had so much time with him but that my mom had her dad in her life for 67 years. I was not so lucky with my dad, he passed away when I was only 26.

We hit the midpoint of our Biggest Loser challenge... I have lost 5.97%. Sadly, I came in second place. One of my co-workers lost 6.99%. I am super proud of myself, I am down 11.1 in the challenge so I am looking to lose another 20. I can do this, I just have to keep going.....

Until next week, XOXO
