Hello everyone! I haven't worked out in a really long time due to another road trip! It's nearly impossible to eat healthy on a trip home! Fast food, ice cream, candy, YEAH that's what a trip home is all about! It was great. I did ride mom and dad's stationary bike for 20 minutes and that thing is niiiice!

Today I'll start back on Fat Losers. I haven't gained or lost weight since this started, but I've generally weighed between 115 and 118 since high school regardless of the various shapes my body has transmogrified into! Weight is just a number, as we all know! Right now I weigh 117 but I feel stronger than three months ago when I weighed 117...so that all obviously depends on many different factors. I say...base your ideal shape and weight on how you FEEL! If I gain 20 pounds and feel better than ever, then so be it! That's what I'm talkin' about! I am going to eat something really, really, really healthy now! Love y'all!!

I haven't been running at all but I did 150 crunches the other day! It felt great. Then the other, other day I walked 3 miles with Karen. I've been eating healthier food such as soup. But I also ate a triple cheese bacon burger the other night with fries. I skipped dessert (YAY!) and that was very difficult. When I watch the baby sometimes during the day I get so hungry that I eat cheese and jellybeans to fill me up! Today I'm gonna bring healthy snacks so I can resist temptation.

Oh yeah~~our roommates are ALL moving out by April 1st and after that it'll be easier to reach for my yogurt which usually gets shoved to the back of the fridge behind truckloads of beer and seltzer water! I found sour cream of mine back there one day that I thought was cottage cheese....

Good Luck to everyone this weekend if I don't post again later!

Good Morning! I just ran a little over a mile. I ate pretty healthy this weekend and I feel like I have more energy because of it. Except for the alfredo pasta from Outback and about a half a big bag of peanut m&m's. Other than that, and oh yeah yesterday I split a pizza with Jon....but...I still did better than usual overall believe it or not. I can't remember what else we ate. But the point is I feel healthier than the usual Monday. I'm trying to get in touch with my darling sweetheart sister KK, to see if she would like to join me for a friendly tennis match this lovely afternoon. She's so sweet!

I ate 3 enormous blueberry pancakes for breakfast yesterday at Cracker Barrel! They were DE-LISH! I also ate a sandwich yesterday and then this chicken dish that Mike made that was so so good and tasted healthy but I am not 100% sure on that. He made rice pilaf from scratch which was cool.Oh yeah, and I ran like a mile. Today I ran almost 3! I found a shortcut to the tennis courts in our neighborhood. I want to do crunches but I never feel like it. If onlyI had an incentive other than that intangible badge.....

I forgot to drink that v8 yesterday, and we had fast food for dinner. We actually ate at Chick fil A and then McDonald's for dessert! Isn't that sick?! But....I ordered a salad at chick fil A and it was GOOD! But the salad dressing had as much fat as I should consume in a week! I should have gotten nuggets like Jon, because I was jealous the entire time we ate.

March 7th

I haven't posted any progress because....I haven't really made any! Since my last post, I have taken huge backward steps.

Saturday, Jon and I ate road-trip style (tons of fast food) and we didn't do any physical activity at all because we actually were on a road trip. Sunday we played in the yard and did some raking, but we still ate pretty bad. Monday was the same activityless crap. Yesterday I tried eating healthy but it didn't work out. I did, however, complete yesterday's fitness challenge.

March 7th~~today: I went for a 1.3 mile light jog. I intend to lay around at the pool and read for most of the day. My major goals for the rest of the day are to drink a V8.

March 2nd

my fitness goals for this contest are to:

add something other than running to my workout regiment
tone, especially my abs
eat less fast food and candy
remember to take my vitamins
drink more h2o

yesterday i ran 4 miles in 38 minutes and today i ran 1.3 in 11 minutes.
i also bought some grillers and apples.
my favorite ab workout dvd is out of commission due to major scratches.
i'll do 100 crunches today as a goal.

i decided to join the fat loser contest because i have the tendency to gravitate toward laziness and sloth, and the idea of having my favorite people in the world motivating me to defy that gravitation sounded pretty good. plus, i want to motivate all of you as well. today is march 1st, day one of the "contest" and so far, not so good. yes, i did run 4 miles this morning and ate a halfway healthy sub for lunch....but, due to an acute case of homesickness, i gave in to temptation and devoured half of a large bag of raisinets. i kept telling myself it was okay because it's raisins, after all, and not as bad as other chocolate candy. now i feel gross and probably will not follow through with the ab workout i'd had planned for later. let this be a lesson to you all! learn from my mistake! don't give in! you will regret it!
