On a mission...

that is about all I have to say. I have given myself a year to loose weight. It has been so hard to stay focused as I loose one pound a week, rather than the five I want. =0) "My fitness Pal" has really been helping me do so. It shows me what I'll weigh in 5 weeks, which is so very encouraging, especially as the number gets smaller and smaller. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Here we go again...

I woke up today, early enough to actually go out and jog. Two minutes later, Gabby comes crawling into bed, two minutes after that, Cavan wakes up talking. I bet you think I'm going to say I didn't make it out to jog...well...I did! I told Clay I was going out, however both kids were awake. He, being very sleepy, but very understanding, rolled over and put his arm out for Cavan. So Zaidy and I hit the pavement at 7:35am. Yay!!!!! I decided to try and do only protein for a week or two, to get my body burning up some fat. I'm hoping to start a lifestyle of low carbs. =0) We'll see how that goes, so far so good!! Yipeeee!!!

...Week 5, day 1...

So I'm feeling pretty good today. I started eating 6 small meals yesterday

and woke up feeling great today. Fabulous!!!! Today was a little difficult

at dinner time...only because Bonnie and Barry made these bbq sandwiches

that are amazing! So I splurged and had one whole one along with a little

orange fanta. Yummy!! Onward to another "good" day...yay....

...Week 5...

...and I am already getting bummed. Not because I have stopped

jogging, more because I have stopped loosing weight. =0(

I have upped my run to 16 minutes, and starting Monday,

I up it to 20 minutes of jogging. I know I am not doing a full 2 miles yet,

I run too slow, but I am jogging...which is awesome.

I started jogging a little, about a year after I had Gabby,

however I only managed to keep it up for maybe 2 weeks at a time,

before I would quit, because of foot/toe pain.

Clay, this time around, gives me a nice foot massage after every

run. Isn't he awesome! =0)

I love all of your comments, you guys are such a wonderful support

group! I love it and I love y'all!!

I'm hoping to get out of this rut I'm in, which I know it

has a lot to do with eating. My goal is to start eating smaller portions

and do so, 6 times a day (thanks to some advice given to Sonja by her Mom, thanks Sue &

Ya ya). Here's to a new week of focus and some drive!!

Y'all in???? =0)
