So yesterday . . .I was feeling pretty good after that post. Then my friend called and wanted to know if I would go out to lunch with her. So we headed down to the local restaurant. Now keep in mind I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere the closest subway is probably two hours away. So in my mind I am trying to figure out how to make it work, when I see a chicken fillet on the menu. Now in my mind I think that is would be a grilled, because when I worked in a restaurant in my high school days in a different small town that is exactly what is was. So instead of checking I order it. Nope. . . out comes a fried chicken fillet. Aaaahhh!! To top my not great lunch out we ate cookies . . .sad to say I didn't each just one . . . try like 6 or 7. Honestly I don't know I didn't' keep track. It was probably more than that.

So we came home . . . dinner was a grilled pork chop with plenty of veggies. Then I decided after my boys went to bed I better hit the treadmill again so at 8:30 I hopped on for another round. It actually was a great run/jog/walk. Since it was my 5th run/walk of the week, I wasn't sure how I would feel but it felt good and strong. Yeah me!!

So my CW for today was back on my treadmill for another 30 minutes on jogging/walking intervals. My legs hurt . . . but it actually feels good to be running again. It made me remember last summer when I could actually run/walk 8-10 miles on a weekend. . . . Then it got me thinking maybe I should reconsider never running a half again. So who knows . . . as for weigh in today the great number that appeared was : 179.2 Which means my extra days of doing doubles paid off. I am down from 180.8 of last week, which makes this weeks weight loss of 1.6 lbs. I will take that!!! So I am happy I reached my goals. I am a little nervous next week will be tough. Tuesday we are headed on a road trip which means 24 hours total in a car. . . some meals eaten fast food. . . . days at different families houses with who knows what we will be eating, and some how I have to fit at least one workout a day in. I don't know about you but one of my many faults is I hate working out in front of other people. So going to my in-laws house where the whole family is SKINNY and asking to use their treadmill & have other people see me workout make me so not excited. Usually I don't do it, because I am so embarrassed & hate it so bad. We will see . . .. I need to figure out something & make a plan before than. It also means that in order to lose this next week I need to watch my food intake & be next to perfect. Which is oh so tough for me. SO this next week goals is I would like to weigh in at 178.0. Which only makes me down 1.2 lbs. . . but if I can just lose that much next week it will be a huge success. . . . so now off to take the rest of my life.

Oh yeah . . . a reason for doing all this: I haven't posted a reason in a long time . . . .1. next trip home, the one in July, I want people to be able to tell I am losing weight . . . .I want to start looking good. . . .The other reason is in the last week though it has been hard to have to determination to stick with it & do two workouts some days. I forgot how it feels to feel your body getting stronger. It feels good!!!!!!!! I want to keep it that way.
