Day 160 _ Saturday 6/9/2012

Getting ready for a long run.  Not as long as last week but longest of the week.  I'm finding I realize some songs don't work as well as it might seem on the surface so I added a page where I can make notes on songs to add or even delete.  These are recent songs I listed and want to add for my run this weekend.

Day 159 _ Friday 6/8/2012

Yesterday I have my final weigh-in of the first 8 week period of small group training.  While I'm not willing to share the page with all the actual stats, I can share that in those first 8 weeks, I lost 10 lbs.  I also lost inches all over- 2.25 bust, 3 from waist, 3 from hips, 1 from thigh and for whatever reason none from my upper arms.  However those last measurements are only the last 4 weeks.  Not sure why but she didn't write them down the first time.

Although my upper arms didn't show loss, I can certainly tell a big difference in the firmness. 

Awesome start and looking forward to another 8 weeks after a weeks hiatus.

Day 158 _ Thursday 6/7/2012


Lately things have just not seemed to go as plan.  I spent some time doing entries in my gratitude journal and finished with this list of what I needed to do to make my goals for the year happen.

Day 138 _ Friday 5/18/2012

I added some goals to the soft goal pages.  From my annual wellness checks, I have the weights for the various years.  2011 and 2010 were close so I set 2010 as a goal.  Again 2009 was nearly the same as 2008 so that is the next goal.  I am using 2006 and 2005 for the other two.  The year of 2004 I gained like 25 due to not being able to keep up a strict limited very low calorie diet and 3 hours of exercise daily.  I know it's going to be harder to get back those pounds because I won't be doing it that way.  I'll just have to see but I'll do new goal when I have reached the 2005 goal.  You can remove the paper clips and see what the actual weight goal.

Day 137 _ Thursday 5/17/2012

Weigh in day today.  Lost another 1.6 pounds for a total of 6.6.  I'm really happy about that.  I'm also very excited for my upcoming vacation.  One bad thing is it seems that if you take vacation, you spend a week or two before preparing your work ahead and then another week or two catching up after.  All the same, I'm preparing for vacation and so excited!

Today's weigh in for the body bugg- -1.4 lbs so close to my -1.5 goal for a week.  In total that is 5.1 down- for the bodybugg.  There is some difference in the way things are recorded- the time periods aren't the same- so it's off a bit.

I've lost as much in this last week that I did in 16 weeks on my own.  This is good news.  the training is hard but I'm enjoying it.  I've had no plantars faciitis flare ups.  My "only shoes that work" have been successfully replaced and I've managed to do some fairly long run/walk/or intervals in them.

Day 126, Sunday May 6, 2012

My cell phone has been having issues.  Random pictures drop for instance.  I replace the phone and then am gone on vacation for 10 days with no phone and internet access.  I get back and a strange gray area expands on the screen.  Yes the replacement phone is now dying.  A new one is on the way.

Meanwhile, our phone and internet at home continues to be out.  I've called our representative and it seems like after a complaint, it's back on for some hours or maybe even a day or so.  Then same thing.  We've called so many times.  They claim a credit on the bill will come but have yet to see it.  After over a full week with no internet, I now have it.  For how long?  So to simplify this, I'm planning to build the actual days and then fill in with the daily activities and blog later.  Part of this due to some lost pictures I'll have to retake (of the pages created for instance) because of the cell phone online backup failure. 

I just refuse to give up but it's so frustrating.

Back later with the days creative endeavor.
