Disappointed not defeated

Hello all 4 of you that read this!

I was away this weekend for a bachlorette party in a town of Luray, VA. It was a fabulous time with friends, fun, tubing, sunburn, and s'mores. Needless to say, although our dinners were on the healthy side - my snacking habits not so healthy. So, when I got home I said to Dan - so do I get to weigh myself in the morning instead...well that wouldn't be fair. My updates for last weeks goals do not make me proud, in fact they are disappointing.

Weight = +3lbs
Running = non-existent

So, where to from here? I am going to be intentional this week. I am looking forward to getting back in the habit for real. Please hold me accountable for my decisions if you are with me. Please hep me become a healthier me. I saw a picture of me from the past weekend and was like - ughhhh is that me?! :(

SO, next week I'm setting my goals high to make up for lost ground...

Goals:
weight loss - 5 lbs
running -

Week 1:

Monday - stretch and strengthen

Tuesday - 3 mile run

Wednesday - 2 mile run or cross training

Thursday - 3 mile run and strength

Friday - rest

Saturday - 30 min cross training

Sunday - 4 mile run

Here's to new beginnings!!!

Week 1 check in

Well, this week has been the close to the school year which proves to be tricky in terms of eating. All kids are celebrating "summer birthdays" with treat deliveries. Teachers bring in items to share. I must say that food has been decent, but the weather has been not helpful in terms of my runs. I will be away this weekend for a bachlorette weekend - but will be packing snacks to stay on track! Thanks for those who are reading this. I'll post Sunday night on my progress and next week's goals...

Starting over...

So, I must say weight has always been a struggle for me. I live on what seems like a never ending roller coaster of healthy and unhealthy. Well, today is the day - I am starting over. My mentality, my workout plan, my eating habits - I'm not looking back.

Part of my struggle has always been looking back on the successes I have had in the past and feeling like a failure in the present. We will have no more of that thought process for it is not helpful in any way.

So tonight, after a wonderful weekend in VA, Dan and I started on our journey together. Every week I will have 2 goals, a weight loss goal and a running goal. I will log in my miles on this blog and my training as I go. Dan and I are training for the Philadelphia half marathon September 19th and contemplating Nashville's half marathon in April with friends.

Please join me on my journey. I promise nothing but honesty and truth throughout this process. Hopefully this will be a battle I can finally conquer in confidence!

This week's goals:
*weight loss: 3 lbs
*running: 4 times - total mileage: 12 miles
