I switched my weigh in day to Sundays. Mondays are just way too hectic for me in the mornings (ie: I don't want to get out of bed on most Mondays). 2.2 pound lost...I am really thrilled with that, especially with it having been my birthday. Chris and Kale made me dinner Friday night...it was so good, but so not healthy. But sooo good!! :)
Saturday I went to the gym. I am trying to figure out running. Not sure if I should be doing the c25k or something on my own...a training on my own. I did running 3 minutes, and walk 2 for 30 minutes. I was definately not as sore. Today I went on a super long walk at the beach with Steph and Max. It was probably almost 3 miles. We did stop and have breakfast though.
I am watching the Oscars with my mom (our tradition) and ate way too much pizza (another tradition).
Tomorrow is my non-workout day, I go hang with Kate and the pregnant sissy. We try to eat healthy for dinner, but that does not work.
10 days until the complete no-carb enters my mouth experiment begins. I am already doing it to a certain extent, except for tonight. :)
Good night!

It's My Birthday, And I'll Cry If I Want To....
No, No I won't! I had a fabulous birthday, despite trying to deny my age :).
I was overwhelmed by the love at work. I have a great group of core friends there and a great boss. They spoiled me with gift cards and flowers. My friends are amazing, my two best friends both sent me birthday wishes first thing in the morning. My niece said, "Happy Birthday, Auntie"...which melts my heart.
I am blessed. I usually dread my birthday and get a little sad that I am "alone". It has taken awhile for me to realize that I have an abundance of family and friends. And I love them with all of my heart. Friends are making me dinner tomorrow night, and nothing makes me happier.
Yes, the diet went out the window this morning. I am going to go carb-less on Ash Wednesday, I can do 40 days with no carbs. I am kind of looking forward to the challenge again. Yes, there are birthdays in there, but it will work out.
Speaking of workout, I haven't today. I will jump back on that treadmill on Saturday. Oh, and it is supposed to be 4freaking9 degrees on Saturday. Really? This is NOT why I live in Southern California. But, I bet it will be beautiful by the ocean.

Shoelaces
As I was getting changed to go to the gym this evening, my shoelace broke. I do not think that I have worn out a shoelace since I was kid! This may not seem like a big deal, but as I was driving to the gym, I got to thinking. That must mean that I am wearing my tennies A LOT. I must be exercising...i don't wear tennis shoes that often. hmmm. I must be doing something right.
I was supposed to do the second day of week 4 (c25k)...I really struggled. My legs/hips have been really sore since Sundays work out. I couldn't finish the 5 minute runs. But at least I tried and did not completely give up. I have a feeling that I will probably need to do this week for 2 weeks. That is ok, as long as I do it.
Tomorrow is my birthday, not sure what that will bring. I hope I get through the day with a smile on my face.
I took some pictures tonight..I can not wait to compare them with photos in a month.
Weight loss is tough. The older you get, the tougher it gets!

Starting...
So I am starting this blog tonight. I have been reading blogs for over a year now...and I am addicted! I want to start my weight loss journey now.
I weighed myself today using my wii and I weighed in at 238.3. What the heck happened??? I am so disappointed in myself. I am currently on week 4 of the c25k program. I literally thought my legs/hips/butt were going to fall off last night...wouldn't that have been nice!! It was the hardest one so far, run 3 mins and then 5 minutes. good times, let me tell you, it was hard!! Then I did the rowing machine. I love that machine...and I need something to get rid of my bat wings.
No work today so I wanted to work out but I knew I could not have any part of the gym. So I took my beach cruiser down to the harbor. I rode around for about 45 minutes. I enjoyed spending the time listening to my ipod and taking some pictures.
My birthday is on Thursday, so the diet will go out the window that day. But I did tell my mom I did not want a cake that there was a ton of leftovers...so we are going with an ice cream cake..a one day indulgence! :)
