I found it!!

My lost motivation, that is!  I am so glad, I need to get my eating under control.  I tracked and stayed within my points.  I'm great at tracking and writing it all down, but that doesn't mean it's within my daily points!

I am pretty much half way done the Couch to 5K program and I'm feeling great.  The workouts are feeling good and I've really been focusing on my speed.  Hopefully the rest of the program goes smoothly and I can keep it up.

I am exhausted.  It's a three day week for the kids and they are extra wound up and in vacay mode.  I'm tired of telling them there is no need to yell all the time (seriously, some of them yell all the time).  I'm looking forward to convention.  There isn't really anything in my subject area but there are some good keynote speakers that should be interested (including Tommy Europe, from the Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp)

I'm tucking in with my Kindle (and hopefully won't fall asleep and drop it on my face like I did last night :P)

How quick a year goes!

So it's been one year since I originally fell and hurt my knee.  It's been a long road of physio, surgery and more physio but I'm back and (almost) better than ever!!

Before I hurt my knee I was 145lbs and in the best shape of my life.  I was working out to exhaustion 3 times a week and I looked hot.  For the last year I have been taking it easy on the workouts and right now I'm 151lbs and have a soft belly.  I'm very proud that over this year of no activity, the frustration of being hurt and throwing myself regular pity parties, I only gained 6 pounds.  But I want them gone, and I want my hot body back!

I am half way done the C25K program and I love it.  I was super sick with the flu last week so I missed one workout last week and one this week.  I am back in love with running and almost look forward to having to drag myself out of bed at 605 to get on the treadmill.  I am looking forward to being able to run outside, I much prefer it to the treadmill.

Tonight me and M are going tobogganing.  We are both really excited - my kids at school think we are major losers, lol.  Tomorrow I have to work at LD and then on Sunday we are doing to painting at M's house.  It will be a busy weekend, but good!

Have a good weekend!

Go away winter!

So it's snowy and freezing and gross here.  Apparently the weather will be better later this week, I sure hope so.

So I've finished 2.5 weeks of the C25K program and still loving it.  Tomorrow is another run - it's too cold to run outside and the only time I can get in the weight room at work to run on the treadmill is before school.  Leaving my house at 645 is painful but it's nice to get the workout in.

I've been good about being on plan since having to pay in January.  I will be back in the "free" zone by the end of February!  I got groceries today and loaded up on raspberries.  Raspberries are my favorite, eating them takes me back to when we used to eat them in Grandma's garden until we were sick.  We usually ate most of her neighbours too!

We are booking our Australia trip tomorrow.  Only 5 months to get into bikini shape!!

Have a good week
