So I'm out of the 170's again, lets hope I can stay there. This was the first week on Weight Watchers, I like the instructor and I'm glad to be back on etools, I've always been pretty successful tracking my food and exercise with it.
I made it to the pool this week, only 1 time but better than nothing. Going late in the evening is definitely going to be the way to go, I went into the pool area around 8:30 and there were a couple of people there but I was able to get a lane to myself, which is much better for me. I did about 300 yds, not consecutive and not all freestyle but it was my first time back in the pool in along time. I'm planning on going again tonight and can only hope that after each session I start to feel more and more confident in the pool.
Delaying Week 9 Check In
I joined a new Weight Watchers At Work program last Wednesday with a couple of work friends. So I'm going to switch my Check In days to match up with same weigh in day as WW, that way I'm not spending too much time on the scale.
This past week was a busy week at work, and I wasn't able to make it to the gym as often as I had hoped, and never made it to the pool. But my hubby and I went to the gym last night and I ran 4 miles straight, averaging a 9.5 minute mile. I had previously ran 4 miles but needed to take 2 20-30 second breaks so I was ecstatic at my success last night.

This is me talking to myself:
"Hello, is anyone in there???? What the heck are you doing"
Ugh, until I wrote it down I really didn't realize how bad things were. I have definitely checked out for the past 2 weeks and there is absolutely no excuse, I was being lazy.
But that is why it's not a diet, it's a life plan, you have days or weeks that go by and you just don't feel like doing what you set out to do, that is the easiest way to describe the past 2 weeks.
But this week will be better! You will see.

Giraffe Mania!!
I have been collecting giraffe's for about 11 years and a few years ago I decided to turn one of our spare bedrooms into my very own giraffe room.
Those that have visited our home get to see my crazy obsession and yes it has become and obsession.
It started out when I wanted to start collecting something and I decided on giraffe's because I think they have the cutest face. From then on it has gotten a bit out of control. In the beginning I had them all over the house but then I thought it would be better to have them all together. Not a Birthday nor a Christmas has gone by in the past 11 years that I haven't received at least 1 giraffe.
I am a bit picky about my giraffe's, I'm not someone that just wants to collect every single giraffe, rather each one has to have character / personality. Each one has their own unique story. Yes I know that sounds crazy but it's true. Depending on who gave them to me or where I bought them adds to how special they all are to me.
A few years ago I had several of them in a shadow box that fell off the wall and broke many of them. My wonderful hubby tried to repair them but only a few could be saved, however I kept all the pieces of the broken ones and they remain in the room. They are the fallen few!
So here are a few pictures just to give you a glimpse!
Week 7 Check In
1. Weight = don't know I didn't feel like weighing in this week.
2. Not a bad week food wise.
3. 4 Cardio Sessions .
Plan for Week 8
1. Weight loss = 2 lbs.
2. Eat healthy and drink my water.
3. 5 cardio sessions, 2-3 strength training sessions and 3 swim sessions.
Overall this wasn't a bad week, but when I woke up this morning I came downstairs and decided to have one of favorite things, peanut butter test, about 2 slices in I realized I didn't weigh in and I knew that it was a bit too late. But, oh well, overall I feel really good so I'm not going to stress out about it.
Consider it a day off!

Woohoo, out of the 170's!!! I wanted to get out of the 170's by the end of February and I'm very happy to report that I achieved that goal.
However I am now 25 weeks from Iron Girl and avoiding the pool. I can't say I'm frustrated but more disappointed because I have no problem going to the gym to put in my cardio time by running or by cycling but oops I forgot my swimsuit or my trainer canceled so I'm just going to workout at home and I'll swim tomorrow, yea right. Stop making excuses!!
Good luck to everyone this week!
