Week 1 & 2...

I have nothing cool to say – nothing remotely worthy of writing this my last post.  I did so good my first week into weight watchers – lost .8 lbs!  So happy…and then my boss’ boss’ boss came into town…you know – He is kind of a big deal!  So we went to lunch at thai drift (AMAZING!), we went to yogurtland, we had Chic-Fil-A breakfast, we had donuts, ice cream cake, bbq lunch with all the cookies I could stuff into my mouth….it was all a lot of resisting that I just couldn’t do.  And even though every day this week I woke up saying – I’m going to do better…I’m going to be good today – seriously by 9:00 – I was already saying – tomorrow…..and again I am saying it now –I’m starting tomorrow.  And I haven’t weighed myself this week – because why would I want to?  I know it’s bad….probably worse than what I started at last time around.

But I’ve at least been working out still…a little success in my non-successful week on the healthy living front.  And for the first time in a long time – I ran 5 miles without feeling like I was about to die…and without walking.  That is a first since before the half marathon.  I ran slower than my usual pace, but I enjoyed running and that is the first time I’ve done that in a long time!   It felt good to not be worrying about the different pains I was experiencing in my body and the feeling of not being able to breathe- and just enjoy the company, the wonderful scenery, and the knowledge that I have the ability to run 5 miles still.  I’ve been doing 30-day shred once a week as my cross-training but I’m thinking of trying to do it every other day – so I can add tone to my body – it’s a little….ummm… not tone at the moment.

So here I got again – starting over and trying to be better.  I know I sound like a broken record with every time I say I’m getting back on the wagon and am going to do better – but isn’t that life?  No one is perfect…well maybe there are a few that are great at eating healthy ALL the time and working out and being amazing….but most of us – (I hope!) have our ups and downs…and mine are all documented in this blog for you to see.  I always tell the guys at my work and now I’m telling it to you guys --  “I suck so that I can make you guys look good…you owe me!”  Yep because of me you guys can feel better about what you are doing. 

One of my friends on facebook posted this picture with quote and I love it…it’s the truth – 

Of course my boss reminds me every time I eat bad – you don’t get “it” by eating that chocolate chip cookie…so I’m just delaying “it” a little bit longer…but I’m enjoying the journey!
