126.3

So, I am up .4 lbs this weigh in, but all is okay. I have been between 125 and 128 for the past few months. That all ends here. I am going to kick my diet into shape and fast. Clean eating does make me feel SOOOOO much better. So, I will be going grocery shopping tonight. I haven't had time to do a grocery shop/meal plan in a few weeks with having to work 15+ hours extra a week at the part time gig. Plus, camping, a social life, cleaning, and the fair.

Did I mention we went to the fair on Saturday? Well, we did. The breeding ground for poor food choices. I had 4 blue moons(2 at the fair & 2 at home), ate less than a 1/4 of the pork and rice bowl that Love ordered, but decided he didn't want-we switched, he ate my chicken legs and rice while I had the pork with veggies and rice-and I didn't have 1 sweet treat while we were there. I wanted something sweet, but nothing sounded good. So, I skipped it! Go me! Also, I just ate the pork bowl until I felt satisfied and just threw the rest away.

The goal for my weigh in on the 6th is to be down 2 pounds into 124. Then, I will not weigh again until the Wednesday after my half marathon! So, I am hoping to be 122 or even 120 by that time.

I am off of the part time gig until next Saturday. So, I am going to use this time wisely and really focus on getting back into weight loss/marathon mode. Today I plan to grocery shop after I head out for a 3 mile run and coming home to do some lunges/squats/pushups/crunches.

I hope you all have a fantastic day! See ya tomorrow!

Arby's, Chocolate, and French Toast....Oh My!!

This weekend I have been out of control and my body is sure feeling it! I have had nothing but crap and too much crap. Today, I have to revert back to 80% clean eats because these headaches, tummy aches and weight gain just aren't worth the food I have been eating.

It's been a convenience weekend. I could have gone to the grocery store, but no, I don't feel like it seemed the better answer. I suck!! Love and I talked last night and these late meals and crappy food are taking it's toll on us. Back to the days of planning and controlling.

On the upside, I ran Tuesday(4 miles in 39 minutes), Wednesday(3.8miles in 41 minutes) and Friday(4 miles in 39 minutes). I did run 3 times and 2 were great runs. I have never run that many miles that fast before. I am trying to train my body to run 6 miles at a time and do it under 10 minute miles every time. It is soo hard to get back into it once you have taken over a month off from running 5 days a week. I am not sure the half in July is going to happen or not, but I am still aiming for it. 

So......This week I will:

***Not overindulge this week, at all!
***Plan every meal, even eating out!
***Say no to sweets, desserts and snacks that are not "clean"!
***Run 5 days and 20+ miles!
***Get back to 125 by Wednesday!
***Remember WHY I am on this journey and work harder than ever to get closer to goal!

Hopefully I can fit in a run today, but I have to be to work shortly and we may have to take Love's brother out to dinner right when I get home! I have a broken treadmill(so it isn't an excuse not to use it), that I would use it if I could. I am going to search for a treadmill online and hope I find a nice, cheaper one for days like this!!

Have a great weekend, my friends! Happy Memorial Day to y'all!
