A Hard Week...
I'm having a hard time making that scale move...and I'm not sure the next few weeks will be any better.
Tomorrow is weigh in day and I'm expecting I'll likely break even. While I've been pretty much on on my eating I've gone out for cocktails with friends for family almost every night so I suppose that is the reason why.
These next few weeks I have semi-major events every week so I'm not sure what kind of progress I'll make. I guess the key is just to keep even or down.
Here's the schedule:
This weekend: 4th of July BBQ at my In-Laws
July 7th & 8th: Work Dinner and Work Picnic
July 14th - 17th: Michigan with my family for my cousin's wedding
July 24th: Our Anniversary
August 1st - 6th: Vacation with Matt's family
August 20th: Jack's 2nd Birthday Party
It's downright nutty! While I do my best to make good eating decisions I also think it's the cocktails that effect it as well... as long as I can keep looking ahead I can maintain and hopefully loose a little.

Plan of attack... maybe tuesday's is more my thing!
Weekly Eats
M - Turkey Black Bean Enchilada's (left overs) (SkinnyTaste.com)
T - Swedish Meatballs & Whole Wheat Noodles (SkinnyTaste.com)
W - Pizza at a friends house and I'll likely bring a nice salad to counteract the bad!
T - Chicken & Mushrooms with a Garlic Wine Sauce with Cauliflower Puree (SkinnyTaste.com)
F - Maple Glazed Pork & Sweet Potatoes (EatingWell.com) - never got to eat them last week
Keeping Moving
I should hit Jazzercise every day this week I think!
I did 2 miles yesterday. I borrowed my Sister-in-Law's Woman's Running book and started following the beginner plan. First goal is to be able to run 4 minutes on and off for a 14 minute stretch. It says I should be able to do that within the week so that's my goal.

Weekly Weigh In
In the hundreds?!?!?!??!?!
I hit 199.2 on Tuesday but wasn't sure it would last till the Friday weigh in with all we had going on.
This morning I was 198.8 and I'll take it. I have never been so happy to see that number flip!!!!!
I think my weight loss goals work really nicely because at about every 5lbs I have something to look forward to, either an even number for a total (40lbs, 50lbs, almost 60lbs) and I have the breaking of another digit (210, 200, 190, etc.).
I went for my physical last week and the doctor said my ideal weight is 169lbs. To me that seems low for me. I'm a comfortable 12 right now. A 10 or an 8 would be fantastic, but anything lower than that seems too small. Right now I'm shooting for the 180's. I'd like enough of a buffer zone from the 200's that I can not have to focus as much and where I can on have to work out 4 - 5 days a week. That's not saying that I will, but it would be nice.

Plan of Attack... a day late...
How did it get to be Tuesday already???
Weekly Eats
M - Cajun Chicken Pasta (EatingWell.com)
T - Turkey Zucchini Burgers w/ Oven Fries (SkinnyTaste.com) - ended up with Salad instead of fries since my potatoes were a bit outdated.
W - If the T-Ball game actually happens we'll have Subway, if we're rained out we'll have Maple Glazed Pork & Sweet Potatoes (EatingWell.com)
T - Pizza & Salad - Nate's Preschool Graduation is at 6:15 so we need to eat QUICK
F - Turkey Black Bean Enchilada's (SkinnyTaste.com)
Keeping Moving
Jazzercise is planned for everyday except Wednesday. Sunday we have a demo at the town's Tag Sale on the Green so I get an extra day of Jazzercise in. After Jazzercise we're heading to the Traveler's Championship (PGA) so that should also have a lot of bonus walking!
I did a quick 1.2 mile run / walk / jog today (Tuesday as well). Tomorrow I plan to do the 3.2 mile route, as well as potentially Friday and likely Sunday morning.

A little before and current action...
A message board I belong to recently talked about before and after pictures and one of the ladies corrected it to before and current... makes complete sense.
Here I am in November of 2010 on a nice sweaty day at River Ranch in Lake Wales Florida. My 10 year old nice got a hold of my Canon and took a great picture...
Here I am today after tossing the camera in my husband's hands.
At least 54lbs down at this point, possibly more (especially after all the beer drinking while there).
Running...Running...Running
Friday and Yesterday were literally spent running around like a chicken with my head cut off...and today I ran and totally improved my last 5k time.
Friday and Saturday mornings I Jazzercised. Saturday morning Lisa did a circuit class, where you mix weights in with the cardio, which was great since I had to book it after 45 minutes to get home and ready for Nate's T-Ball game.
This morning I did my 3.2 mile loop in 36:36. This was a huge improvement over my 40:48 time last time. I went from a 12:48 mile to an 11:24 mile. Now lets see if I can get another run in this week!
