Another frustrating day

Let me tell you how my day went...

Ate a sensible lunch and dinner but spent most of my day on the couch.

Around 2:30 PM, I went for 4 mile run. Then, went to a step aerobics class. Came home, ate dinner. It wasn't the best nutritionally, but it was good and not terrible for me. (Red beans and rice)

Went to the gym and weighed. I gained another 1.5 pounds. I'm now at 167.

I am PRAYING that it has to do with all the extra working out I'm doing. I'm hoping once I take a day off...my weight will find where it needs to be.

Keep praying for me!

Disappointing Day

UGH! I weighed today for the first time since I started this blog. I've gained about a pound and a half. I'm currently at 165.5. That's ridiculous. I still don't have my eating habits under control, but my exercise plan is going well. I ran another 4 miles today then went to the gym for about an hour.

My running so far is 14 miles total.

I can only hope that I gained weight because I'm exercising harder. I am praying for God's guidance as I continue this journey. I have GOT to stay away from the fridge.

Weekends are hard

This weekend I had several successes and several failures.

I ran 4 miles Saturday, 4 miles Sunday, and hit the gym Sunday night. I'm proud of that, but I did have difficulties with my eating. ALWAYS a struggle there.

I was not able to weigh this weekend either because the gym I'm going to is new and doesn't have a scale yet. So, I have no clue if I've lost a couple of pounds or not.

Today, Monday, was my rest day. I wasn't TERRIBLE with my eating, but there is always room to improve.

I had my favorite healthy restaurant food today. It's Chili's Guiltless Chicken Sandwich. SO GOOD! Try it.

Anyway, keep praying for me...and I'll pray for you.!

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Happy New Year!

Many people make weight loss their New Year's resolution. I want to lose weight...but it won't be my resolution.

My resolution is to run 1,000 miles. I'm hoping weight loss becomes a nice side effect.

I hope you'll run along with me on this journey. I can use all the encouragement I can get!

Here we go...

Starting Weight: 164 pounds

A little background:

I used to weigh almost 200 pounds. Five years ago I began Jazzercising, then running, then long workouts at the gym. I got down to 144 pounds. I cannot describe how amazing seeing those numbers on the scale was for me. I want that number back. Actually, I want 134.

Here I am in my 144 days...

Here I am now...
