Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Ouch! Boot Camp is kicking my butt! 

(Which is fitting since one of the exercises is to kick my butt while running back and forth across the court!) 

But I'm so excited! 

My record for a timed mile is 19:53. 

(Yes, I realize I was not born to be a runner!!) 

And today it was 15:58!!

My goal for the last three years has been to get a mile under 15:00 and I'm hoping that after this month log boot camp I'll be able to accomplish that!

I'm also SO SORE!

Epsom salt, ice, heat packs, I'm doing it all! 

OUCH!

The hardest thing was being really sore and coming back today knowing how sore I was! 

I'm still going back again tonight though!

I weighed in today at 211. 

UGH! 

It's painful to see it that high! I gained 11. lbs in two weeks!! 

I just feel so gross!

Though Monday night was the last night of my antibiotics so (fingers crossed) my weight will finally go down again!!

How was your week?

Boot Camp and a 10k

I'm on antibiotics for this kidney infection still but Monday night will be the last pill! Due to the antibiotics, I'm up to 208.5 and can no longer fit into my size 12 jeans. I've gained 10lbs from the infection and antibiotics (Not fun at all!) and can't WAIT until it's all over and done with so I can get back on track!!

But... I start BOOT CAMP on Monday! 

That's right! Fitness boot camp! 

"The Adventure Boot Camp is a four-week outdoor program that offers fitness instruction, nutritional counseling & motivational training - packed with fun and energizing activities designed to help you reach your fitness goals."

I have the opportunity to go 7 days a week and I'm hoping to make it to at least 5 of the 7 all four weeks! 

I'm SO excited! Nervous? Yes! But incredibly excited! 

I'm also doing a 10k on May 8th! 

Very nervous about that one! I am not a runner. 

Or a walker for that matter! 

Haha! That will change soon enough! 

It's "The 2010 Human Race" in Santa Rosa which is a huge fundraiser that benefits over 100 non-profits in Sonoma County! Such a great cause!

Am I ready to get my butt kicked into shape? Or rather am I ready to do the kicking?

Bring. It. On.

How was your week?

Hide and Go Seek

So I apologize for not having a official weigh-in Wednesday these past two Wednesdays. I havn't disappeared but have rather been hiding. I've been doing really well calorie wise but last week only lost .5 and then by the beginning of this week gained, getting up to 206.5.  I was freaking out. 

Then, Tuesday I was diagnosed with a kidney infection. This made sense in my weight gain because whenever I have a bad infection my body puts on a TON of weight. With an infection last fall I gained 7 lbs in two days. This time, in a matter of four days along with weight I've gained two inches around my waist...so far. What is the two inches? Water maybe? All I know is how frustrating it is to be working my butt off only to gain weight and inches and feel like I'm back where I started. 

Tonight will be my fourth night into the antibiotics in a 14-day treatment. I can only hope that I don't get any bigger. As it is I feel like I'm swelling up. Do you remember in Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory when Violet Beauregarde turns blue and swells up into a giant blueberry? Yeah I feel just like that (without  the whole color changing thing, though that sounds like it would be kind of cool now that I think about it! As long as it were temporary!) 

How did your week go?

(A Not So Fabulous) Weigh-In Wedesday

As I knew the turnout would show, this is not one of my prouder weeks.

This is the outcome of stress, emotional eating and eating a LOT of extra salt.

+4.5 lbs

This means only that next week has incredible potential.

How was your week?

Almost Weigh-in Wednesday

So because I had a long weekend that lasted until last night, the fact that today was Wednesday completely escaped me! I'm pushing Weigh-in Wednesday to tomorrow! Be sure to come back and link up!

Also, I'm starting to add all you Partners in Crime Weight Loss to my sidebar! Be sure to tell me if your name isn't up yet so I can add you!

These Are The Days..

These are the days that all this calorie counting, stressing out and pain is worth it. 

The idea that shopping is a remedy for a bad day has always been a strange one for me. Usually shopping leads to me walking away upset that things don't fit right.  

Today I got to experience that shopping really does help remedy a bad day!

You ready?

Size. 12. Jeans!

(Down from a size 22 in August!)

AND

My first sexy dress. 

For the first time in too long of a time, I feel like I'm not just "a pretty face".
