1000 Hits!!!

Wow!!! My blog has been viewed 1000 times. I can't believe it. Tomorrow makes 3 weeks since I started my blog. Thank you all so much for reading. It truly is keeping me motivated. I will not let you all down. :) But more importantly, I will not let myself down. I walked 7 miles today. I am feeling good!!! Tomorrow is weigh in day. Hoping for a good number. Oh, and I wore a black skirt to church today that I couldn't zip a couple of weeks ago. YAY!!!

Walking off the Weight

Sorry I have not posted for a couple of days. Don't worry! I am still going strong, just haven't had much to post about. I am definitely walking off the weight!!! I walked 5 miles today. I am tired but feeling good. Well, except for my nice red sunburn! I burn so easily. Tonight is camp "in" night with the boys so I am probably in for a long night. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!! :)

One Tired Momma

Whew! I am pooped. LOL So, today I.........washed, dried, and put away 3 loads of clothes, cleaned my bedroom, both bathrooms, swept and mopped the floors, did a two mile walking DVD, walked another 3 miles at the football field, VBS tonight (we had 23 two and three year olds), shucked and roasted corn, and gave the dog a bath. I am one tired momma. Hopefully I worked off a few pounds today. Mom cooked me some fresh green beans with new potatoes tonight. They were so yummy. :) I splurged and ate a 3 Musketeer bar for breakfast (I know, I know...But it was so good). I had a lean pizza pocket for lunch and an ear of roasted corn for a snack. Now, I am getting ready to watch a movie and hit the hay. Hoping for a good nights sleep tonight. Goodnight all! :)

Weigh In Time

Well, I lost 3 pounds this week. Not near as good as the 8 pounds I lost last week, but hey that is 11 pounds in 2 weeks. Not bad!! :)

So Hungry

I titled my post for the day, So Hungry, because that is how I feel right now. LOL My KFC green beans have worn off. My diet is continuing to go well. I am staying motivated and my will power is strong. :) Someone asked me on Facebook how I was staying motivated. I think the number one reason is because I want to like the person I see in the mirror. I want to be happy and healthy. I want to set a good example for my kids and I want them to be proud of their mommy. I am continuing to exercise everyday. I walked 5 miles yesterday and 3 today, and I have another day of couch to 5K training tomorrow. I will weigh in tomorrow morning and post the results. I am not expecting a big number this week, but we will see. I can't wait to be in a size 10 again. :):):)

Ugh!!!

Okay, I am getting a little bit frustrated. Why is it the first week I dropped 8 pounds and the past 4 days NOTHING?!?!?! I have been walking 3 to 4 miles a every day and keeping my calories around 1,100. I knew I wouldn't lose 8 pounds every week, but I don't understand why the scales haven't moved at all lately! I am hoping maybe I will wake up one morning and just drop 5 pounds like that. LOL I started a new program today. It is called Couch to 5K. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml I didn't realize just how out of shape I was until I started jogging. Whew!! The program is a nine week program that alternates jogging and walking. By the end of the nine weeks I should be able to jog 3 miles. We will see. Maybe I will even run a marathon one day. Hmmmm....okay, baby steps, Allison. :)

Update

Hope everyone is having a good week. Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but I am still doing good. I just got back from walking 3 miles at the football field. I love walking, but I am hoping to start jogging pretty soon. Maybe I will mix it up and jog a little, run a little, jog a little. :) Not to long ago I was running 3 miles. That is hard to believe now. I want to get back there. Wait, let me rephrase that....I am going to get back there. The boys have football camp in the morning at Central so I am going to walk while I watch them. They are so excited; Brennen especially. This is his first year. I am so ready for football season!!! I love it! :)
