Spring2Action -Week 4- Good News/Bad News


Hi everyone!
I am sorry for missing last week. It completely skipped by me. I have been in the throws of planning a surprise party for my parents' 50th anniversary which is THIS Saturday and things have just been bonkers with that. I am so excited I can barely stand it!

Let's do the bad news first. I am up on the scale a bit.
185 for this week.

The good news is that I completed my FIRST 10k!! I had so much fun. It was a great day and I can't wait to do it again! I plan to write a race report after this big anniversary party is over. And do a lot of other things that have been on hold once the party is over lol.

Here's a sneak peak: Me coming across the finish line! My husband didn't have the camera ready to go but I kinda like how this picture turned out, all artsy-like... and you can't really tell my face is as reed as a tomato!


Happy 50TH Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!

Spring In2 Action - Week 2 check in


Hi there everyone!
Well it was a good week. Let's get to it shall we?

Starting Challenge Weight: 186.0
Last week: 185.4
This week: 183
Loss this week: 2.4
Loss for Challenge to date: 3lbs

Great to see things heading in the right direction. I had some days of not making great choices - thanks, Easter and thanks, Anniversary the very next day -- but I am trying to recover from that. My BIG accomplishment for the week did not involve the scale though. What really got me excited was the 6.4 miles I did with my running club this past weekend, my longest run yet., My first 10k is coming up soon!! April 21st. Bring it on!

Spring In2 Action - Week 1 Weigh In


Hi everyone!

So it appears I was asleep at the wheel when it came to weighing in last week and having a starting weight for this new challenge at the Sisterhood.

Never fear! Since I am  a faithful less than perfect follower of Weight Watchers, I have my handy booklet of recorded weigh ins at the ready.  Rather than get all nutty with two weigh ins a week, for the purposes of this challenge, as i have done with other SJ challenges in the past, I will be using my WW weigh in weight.

That said, shall we get to it?

Last week: 186.0
This week: 185.4
Loss: .6

More importantly though, to me, is the fact that I have reached my 30-lb loss mark on Weight Watchers! Woot!

I have signed up to Run the Hood - have you? What are you waiting for?! Come and join in!!

Trying to be a good SJ Challenger participant, I also made my homework! I made my  Motivational Board. I look at it every morning and it makes me smile and encourages me to keep up with my 10k training.

How are you doing with the challenge so far? 

Thanks for stopping by!
