Spring In2 Action Weigh In #2

Spring Break wasn't the easiest, weight-loss wise.  Being home, led itself to easy access to food, but besides that MY STUPID ANKLE STILL HURTS!!  By last Thursday, it felt great, I decided to hit the gym and try to run on the treadmill.  It felt great, right until I hit 1.5 miles in.  the twinges started and I stopped at 1.75 miles and walked.  I iced it and it was better by the next day, and it feels good now.  But I'm too scared to try again.  Friends have been telling me I should switch to the elliptical.  I just really want to run.  I want to do the virtual 5k with The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans, and I want to run a race in my town with my husband at the end of May.  He's running 5 miles easy and I'm sidelined.   It just sucked.  I lost weight this week, but I'm not happy about my activity level!

Challenge starting weight......175.8

Last week.............................175.6
This week.............................174.6
Weekly loss..............................1.0
Challenge loss..........................1.2

Total Loss.......................19.2

Spring In2 Action Weigh in #1

Spring break is in full motion here.  Which is great, because without any snow days this winter, there were no days off of school.  The natives, and myself, have gotten restless and we were all looking forward to a few days off the regular routine.  What is bad about spring break is the break in the routine of eating healthy.  A visit to my in-laws is always dangerous--lots of treats and great food.  then the easy access to snacks here at the house is a pitfall as well.  ugh, it is hard.  Not to mention the fact that my ankle is still not right.  I think I will give the treadmill a go tomorrow.  I haven't exercised or run in almost 2 weeks and it is killing me.

However, spring break has allowed me the opportunity to read two of the three Hunger Games book (and see the movie). I also steam cleaned all the carpets (except the basement) in the house.  I'm feeling pretty productive!  Tomorrow, all the girls go to daycare and I have a day to myself.  Not sure what I will do yet, but I know I will enjoy it.

Here are this week's numbers:

Challenge starting weight .......175.8

Last week.............................175.8
This week.............................175.6
Weekly loss..............................0.2
Challenge loss...........................0.2

Total Loss.............................18.2
