5 days to go

I'm making it and staying on track. I ran 2.1 miles on the treadmill this morning, then did 10 minutes on the stairmaster before Body Pump class. Then I took my son with me to Quiznos for lunch and had some soup and a small sandwich..only 320 calories altogether. Yum! We had to eat out to make it back to my daughter's Easter party at school...no time to get back home and eat. It was a tasty break from my canned soup.

I am hoping to take the kids on another walk this evening before bedtime for some extra calories burned. We'll see how they are doing. I'm really looking forward to Body Attack tomorrow! Monday is getting closer and closer!

6 days to go

I made it through day 2 of my soup diet. It isn't too bad. I am pretty full from the soup and I have had a few snacks to help me through the day.

This morning I did 65 minutes on the elliptical plus ran 5 minutes and did abs and push-ups. Then I ran and walked with the kids in the double stroller at the park this afternoon.

I'm making it!

Last Week of Challenge

One week from today I will be weighing in and getting measured to complete the challenge. Wow, it is gone by so quickly! This morning I ran 6.77 miles...that was 1 hour of running. I ran the 6.2 for the race in 55 minutes and 7 seconds. I was watching the clock for that to see today. Then I did 15 minutes on the elliptical trainer plus abs. I'm really pushing myself this week and am also going on an all soup diet this week just to see if I can drop some more pounds before next Monday, then I'll eat normally again. I'm still eating oatmeal or cereal for breakfast, but soup for the other 2 meals. I'm sure I'll be sick of soup by Sunday, but it is just one week, so I know I can hang in there for that.

2 days without Kids

I didn't have my kids for the past 2 days, so I was too busy trying to do nothing that I didn't remember to update this! Friday morning, I made it to the 3rd track in Body Pump and finished up the class and then ran 3.5 miles.

Yesterday, I ran 1.13 miles in 10 minutes, then did Body Pump, then did the elliptical for a bit. I knew today I wouldn't be able to work out with driving to Shiner to pick up the kids and then we went to a funeral and then came home around 7:15 this evening and I still had to grocery shop, so it was a busy day.

A week from tomorrow is my final weigh-in and photo and 2 weeks from today is my 10k! I can't believe it is already here practically! Time to bust my butt this week!

March 25th

I did Body Attack today and man, was it rough, but that was wonderful! I needed a good cardio workout. I feel so set back by my birthday dinner, but know that it was really only one day and that can't ruin weeks worth of work. I just need to keep pushing with only days left to go. I also ran and walked with the double jogging stroller this afternoon with the kids at the park. On to another day!

Too Much Food!

I was up last night with major indigestion from my birthday dinner! My body just isn't used to having all that food anymore and dessert! Made me not want to eat anything much today. I ran 10 minutes, did 20 minutes on the stairmaster, then Body Pump class today and my Body Pump instructor complimented me today on looking lean! :) Now time to rest the rest of the day and recover from my birthday!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I'm 29 today and just fit into my first pair of size 8 jeans ever! So excited!

I did get a birthday workout in this morning..45 minutes on elliptical and ab exercises...but that was it and then off to buy my new jeans and a few shirts. 29 has been great so far!!!
