Before & After

130.8
128.4
127.8

Those are my scale readings this week. Monday, I started tracking on SparkPeople, but did not weigh. Tuesday I weighed 130.8. Wednesday, I weighed at 128.4. This morning, I weighed in at 127.8. Wow, this is working. I am eating between 1300 and 1500 calories. SparkPeople recommends I eat about 1200-1550. I tweak it according to my workouts. Saturday is long run day...8 miles...so, I will obviously go over my "budget" of calories, but also burn 1000+ calories.

I feel good about my progress thus far. 3 pounds in 3 days, I will take it. My overall goal is to be 109 by 6/1/11. Now, before anyone goes crazy on me, this is attainable for me to do in a healthy way. I am just under 5' tall. Right now my BMI is 25.8 putting me in the "Overweight" category. At 109, I will have a BMI of 22 putting me in the middle of the "Normal" Range.

 This is a photo of me and I would say I weighed approximately 160-165. This was taken a year before I met Chad and when I met him I weighed 155. 

This is me at 124. Do I believe I look terrible 4 pounds lighter than I am now? No, not at all. However, for me, I know I can look better. I have my fat days just like everybody else, but I also know I have come a long way and look 100% better than I used to.

These pictures will continue to motivate me to get where I would like to be!

Goal of the Day: Get my booty to the gym for my speedwork after work. No excuses.

Recommiting

I pre-tracked breakfast and lunch last night. The only thing I did not pre track in sparkpeople was dinner.

I work every Monday night from 6-9PM at the mall. So, dinner is usually subway. However, the line at Subway was ungodly long. So, I chose Chic-Fil-A. I had chicken nuggets a side salad and TCBY for desert.

Total calories today were 1517. SparkPeople says I should be between 1200-1550. So, not too shabby. I did not make it to the gym because I did not go to sleep until about 2:00.

So, our life is about to get a little crazier. In roughly 8 weeks, we will be joined by a few babies from this girl

Little Miss Abigail has officially been bred. This was her a few days after her daddy brought her home(I was not in the picture yet). She is 4 now and expecting her first litter. That is why I was out of my house for just about 14 hours last Tuesday. She responded well to the sire and should have 100% confirmation that she is pregnant in 4 weeks. Although, I can tell she is preggers, because she is acting wacko! Like lay on my chest and bark in my face at 1, 2, 3 o'clock in the morning EVERY morning since meeting up with her hot little boy toy. She has never done this before. So, she has to have some buns in the oven, right? I sure hope so!

Well, it is off to bed for me. I hope you all have a great night!

Goal for the Day was to track everything! I made it!

Oh, and one more picture of my other little cuteness, this is Lenny when he first came home. 5 weeks old!

How was your Monday?

Do you have any pets?

Starting Over is Tough To Do!

I have not been in the right mind frame this past week. It starts strong, but then I get lazy or busy. This week started out busy busy. I worked from 8:30AM-9:15PM on Monday. Tuesday I was out of the house at 6:50AM and didn't get home until 8:30PM. That day I also spent 4 hours in my car. Leaving me not up to grocery shopping. So, I kind of just ate whatever last week. I wouldn't say I fell "off the wagon", I didn't. I overindulged in sweets. I know what my problem was, now it is just about....

Getting Back To Basics!

I logged back into SparkPeople.com. I am going to try calorie counting again. I always get lazy with it, but if I make the time to track, I know I can stick to it. I also need to take more pictures for the blog to spruce this joint up a little bit. My food scale is going to be my best friend for sure.

Today's Goal of the Day: Log in all of the foods I eat regularly onto SparkPeople. That way it will be easier to track.
