A new week.

Alright. I'm back again. I'm pleased to say that I did better than I expected with my goals this past week. I kept my treats under 3 (minus a few salt water tafffy's and a few little things, here and there). I also did pretty good about not eating after 7:30pm. I slipped up a few times, but over all it was better than I expected. My exercising was awesome this week. I ran on the actual race course this week, and I did the 5k in under 34 minutes. I was excited. I also decided that my first mile is always the slowest, so I'm going to work on that. Isn't that wierd that my first mile is slower than my last? Anyway, I am going to start meeting early on Mondays and run a mile before I walk with friends, so I can time it. today I got 9minutes and 59 seconds! Under 10 minutes...WAHOO! I thought that was a good start. If I keep doing that on mondays, and still run the full 5k on Wednesdays and Saturdays, then I should be totally ready by August 29th for my race!

Summer is a hard time to diet and exercise with all the vacations, but I guess we can all just do our best. I leave to Yellowstone on Wednesday, (After I run of course!). I hope to be able to exercise while I'm gone, and I'm with you Mel- I'll be happy if I don't fall off the bandwagon too. I always feel like it's a free for all when Im out of town. Like I can eat whatever I want, and it doesn't matter.

Unlike Melissa, I didn't loose any weight this week, but I feel it coming soon!

How are the rest of you ladies doing?

Week 7/7/08

How is everyone doing this week?

I am thinking we need a 24/7 hotline to call when we need an intervention. I could have used it last week when I had an encounter with some rice crispy treats. And ice cream. And a lemon bar. It was the 4th okay?

Anyway, this week I have a family reunion all week, so I am just hoping not to totally fall off of the wagon. I ran this morning, and plan to two more times this week. I have lost 2 lbs girls! WOOT!

How are you gals doing?
