Where have you been...

Saturday morning, drinking a cup a coffee, just took my vitamins and working on my first 32 oz of water. I realized it's been a bit and that has me thinking, yea it's been a bit since you have focused on your plan. Yes I have been tri'ng to eat right. I started back to WW a few weeks ago with my WW work Buddies. That continues to be an up and down process. It's the typical do well, drop 1-2 lbs and then life happens and food happens. But that is o.k. as I tell a good friend, there are blips in the road and as long as you continue to get up, dust yourself off and get back on that path then you will succeed. It took me years to quit smoking and Wed marked 3 years since I last smoked. That achievement reminds me that anything is possible because that was one of the hardest things for me to kick.

So I've stood up, dusted myself off and I'm stepping back on the path, hope you are doing the same.

My current weight (this morning) is 166.5 so I have 21.5 lbs to get to my original goal weight of 145.

As far as working out that has been pretty constant for the past couple of weeks. I have been running and hitting the stationary bike pretty consistently at least 5 times a week. However my strength training has been extremely inconsistent (didn't do that at all this week) and of course that dreaded swimming, haven't hit the pool in several weeks.

At some point this weekend I'll take a look at my plan. Yes I have a very detailed excel spreadsheet of the schedule I'm suppose to be on. I will see where I am, update it and start following it....again. But that is fine.

Life is passing us by and I need to get off that couch. Winter is always the most difficult time for me. I HATE cold weather, yes HATE with a passion cold weather so training outside, getting motivated to do something after work or on the weekends, when there is still snow on the ground (although almost gone) becomes impossible for me.

The sun is shinning, warm weather has to be on it's way which means, getting up early on a Saturday or Sunday, heading to the hills for a hike with my wonderful hubby. There is nothing like an early morning hike with your favorite person. or, hitting the trails on the bikes to see who can lead for a quick 15-20 mile out and then back.

We are both so competitive and while he is a faster runner than me my goal is always to keep him in my site. But on the bike, I can't stand it when he leads, that is my strength and I want him behind me, that way he has something to look at :>)
