Well I finally finished one of my weight loss goals. I walked 100 miles. I didn't do it in the time alloted (i was supposed to finish christmas day) but I think the important thing is I finished. I didn't give up. I have to say I am proud of myself. I know at around the 30 and 50 mile mark it just seemed like it was so much, but I just planned one day at a time. I am sitting here grinning like a big ole fool.


So all week I have been thinking about new years resoultions. Usually i am saying I want to lose 50 lbs or workout everyday for 3 hours. Things, I think, are just no realistic. not because it isn't possible, but beause I didn't have a plan in place to accomplish those things. With the 100 miles I realize ok in order to walk to my goal I need to do at least so many miles per day or per week and this is how I am REALISTICLY going to get there.

Normally I would be thing I have to lose 50lbs. Now I am thinking ok, I lost 3 lbs and I really want to lose 5. How am I going to do that?

Well here are my goals for the year. I may modify them and just like with my walk challenge I will be flexible so I can reach my ultimate goal without beating myself up with guilt.

GOALS
-Be able to do 25 pushups by the end if the year.
-walk 100 miles every 90 days.
(I didn't say how many miles for the year because I want to see how much I do just on my own)

I think thats it for now. Things I would like to see change.

My knees stop hurting permanently.
Be able to fit into a smaller size for my trip to Jamaica this year.
-Stop eating out as much as I do, more for my wallet than anything else.
-Make my excercise portable. I don't seem to what to excercise in front of my boyfriend or family when they visit or I visit them, so I wan to change that.

Ok, thats it for now.

Happy new Year.

Well I got back on track with the walking. 7 miles in 2 days is alot compared to where i started from and would be nice to knock out 10 miles by sunday (the end of my work out week). Well on 3fc I have noticed how bad High Frucose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is. So I had some lamb to cook and wanted some flavor. So instead of the marinade (which has HFCS) I bought I put some olive oil, rosemary and thyme in a pan and heated that then added the lamb. A little salt and pepper on both sides. It was probably the best lamb I have ever cooked. I think I am going to give the un-used stuff to my family and finish up the rest. Or we'll see. Something else that happened yesterday. I take the bus from NY to NJ to go home and there is a long escalator to get to the bus top. Easily 20-30 feet.....and the escalator wasn't working. I walked up without stoping. I didn't feel like I was going to die and at the top I didn't stop I kept moving to get to where I had to go. So I realized...

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...
