Shrinking Days of Summer- Week 1

Today is the first day of the new 7 week challenge over at the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans it isn't to late to join up if you would like :)

This challenge the group is doing something different in the fact that we have been assigned teams. You will see in my side bar that I am a member of Team Lime, you will also see the blogs of my Team Sisters :)

I have given my weight to my team captain for the week already but I may as well post it here as well... even in a weight loss team challenge I am the 'fatty'. When I weighed in the scale told me that I weigh 256lbs, so I guess I have to believe this :( BUT I have an awesome team and I know that they will help me to stay motivated and help me through this. I have been so blessed to have "met" all the wonderful people over at the Sisterhood... and I am even more blessed to actually know some of them IRL and be able to call them my friends, and even though they are not on my team I know that they are here to support me.

So here are my goals for the week:

• Complete week 1 of the couch to 5k program
• Follow my Weight Watchers Program (making sure to journal/track)
• Exercise and track it but NOT use the activity points that I earn--- Oh...did you know that my fat ass earns 6 activity points for doing my C25K....heck yea... and I burn like 500 calories doing it too....tonight is supposed to be my second 'set' of running....Chad better let me do it or there will be heck to pay!!!
• DRINK WATER!!! it is summer and with all the running and activites that we have going on it is far to easy to run through the Starbucks drive thru and grab a coffee--- THOSE THINGS ARE EVIL...even when you are trying to be good they are bad... LOL
• NO EATING AFTER 7PM!!!!

So ladies (and guys if you are reading) that is my plan.... Good luck to all my friends over at the Sisterhood... and to my fellow team LIME LADIES.... LETS GETERDONE!!!!

The gym...the good, the bad... and the damned

Well today I actually got up the motivation to get my children ready and out the door so I could make it to the Y. I had originally planned on getting there early enough to join some friends in this cycling class that they have been talking about... but I didn't get there until 9am and it started at 845--it is probably a good thing I missed it because I would be dead instead of writing this blog post--... anyways back to my story.

Get the kids into child watcher *yea there was room for everyone* and head towards the door to leave... no one is crying everything is all good... I even snuck into the neighboring office to peek through the window to make certain...everyone was having fun...

So off to the Life Center I head... I've got my iPod w/ my Nike Plus *damn thing froze on my so I couldn't use it* got a treadmill by the window and started working out... I was even able to watch Rachel Ray...well as I am making my 7th lap ( I use that silly little screen that lets me pretend that I am on an outdoor track to 'see' my progress) over the load speaker I head "Kristin Krumwiede to child watch please"... just what EVERY mom wants to hear right.... so I jump off the treadmill-- forgot to pull my ear phones out of the treadmill and had them come whipping out my ears-- THAT HURTS btw-- and up the stairs I flew... didn't even take the time to grab my stuff out of my locker room... get upstairs to find Brody screaming his head off...

Long story short... I've been TOLD that Brody can not stay in child watch longer than 20 minutes next time... OUCH... like I am going to take the time (and energy) to drag my ass to the Y for a measly 20 minutes... PUH-LEASE!!!! Well I will because Brody needs to start getting used to other people... and they could have let him cry... OR they could have followed my instructions of letting him have a snack...OR they could have allowed for his sister *who is his personal security person* sit beside him.... all of these things would have calmed him down... better luck to us all next time right?

That being said at least I got to burn 232 calories right??? AND I didn't even emotional eat once I got home... instead I cleaned because I was so mad!!! LOL

Exercise clothes...

Yesterday I was at the store and I thought that MAYBE just MAYBE that some new work-out clothes would get me motivated to get back into the grove of working out and actually going to the Y... you see the current work out clothes I have are fairly nasty (not in gross nasty, but they really are just some really worn out yoga pants and a few even older shirts). I had it all in my mind what I was going to get... you see this one store had these amazing matching outfits so I was going to buy two of them.....

Long story short it must be one of two things... (1)The other fat lady who buys all the clothes I want got their first or (2) They don't make exercise clothes in my size.... this would be a believable option but it isn't like I am the biggest person out there... I mean come on... All I wanted was a XXL shirt and pants... is that too much to ask for? Apparently...

Back in the sadle...

or should I say walking shoes!

After my weigh in tonight at Weight Watchers, it has become clear that I need to do something to switch up my program because the current one is not working. In fact I have gained 6 lbs since joining weight watchers 3 months ago.

So tonight I hit the streets (after a fairly rough day) and walked 2.52 miles :) I am fairly proud of myself and I hope to continue it. I need to start having a little bit of me time every day, and I think this is how I am going to 'ask' for it.

A Gym funny....

Today I went the the YMCA for my exercise time and I couldn't help but laugh over the fact that there were two ladies dang near fighting over this parking spot in the front row.... You are AT THE GYM and 50% of the people at the gym are going to walk during some part of their routine...but apparently those 15 extra steps are going to push them over their limit... LOL


Just a lil FYI for you... I did park that the extreme corner of the lot and walked into the building, and then did my workout for about an hour and then walked back... LOL
