Will keep you posted..

Very Excited!

Just a really quick post to say that today I ran on the Treadmill for half a mile.  I was so excited..and shocked.  I was slowly adding more running time on to my mile..but had no thought about trying to go for a whole half mile yet...but it just kinda happened and I couldn't be more pleased.  My times on both the bike and the treadmill are going down steadily.  It is so exciting!  I will come back later and post my times for the past few weeks.  Can't wait to do a weigh in next week and see how the scale is going..

Till then..

Quick tidbit

The last thing I want to do today is work out.   I have already done my 5 miles on the bike...and the thought of getting on the treadmill makes me want to cry.  I have been doing so well with the working out.  I have been having fun with and enjoying it.  I guess there will be days like today where I just don't want to do it. I have to push thorough that and do it anyways!  I am seeing results in the scale and in my times.  So I am very happy about that.  Results are always a good thing.  Even the hubby said I look a little different already..that was really nice.  So here I go..off to the dreaded tredmill.  Twenty minutes won't kill me.  I know that...



Until next time..

going good...for a change..

Just got done with todays working out.  I am doing pretty good.  This new plan seems to be working.  I am done working out in the morning...and that leaves the rest of the day.  I haven't yet hit the point where working out gives me all this energy, but I am hoping that happens soon.

I thought I would post the past week Times..

These are staying consistent.  It is hard to pedal faster.  I am working on it..

I did a weekly weigh in and the scale hasn't changed. I am trying not to let it get to me.  I see the mile times changing and that makes me happy for now. I have to trust that at some point that will start showing up on the scale too.
I have been writing down all my food..and that is no fun.  It is sad for me to realize what a portion size on some food actually is.  It is smaller than you would think.  I only had one day where I was really hungry.  Anyways that is where I am right now. 

Time to relax and Listen to some good music.  I love the Zac Brown Band!

Something new..

So I started something new today.   I was on the treadmill first thing this morning.  I was hoping to get mostly done before I woke up..and you know what...it worked.  I was about half way done before I was all the way awake.  That was kinda nice.  I am only doing  a mile first thing in the morning.  So today I did that mile in 21:20. I am going to keep track of my mile times and keep working on getting it faster.

Also today I did five miles on the exercise bike. I did that in 17:45, and then kept going at a slower pace to equal 20 minutes total..  As with the treadmill mile I am going to be working on getting that five miles faster and on hard levels. 

For some reason thinking in the short times makes me feel like I am not working out much at all.  But I am doing at least 20 minutes on each piece of equipment.

I am going to add 20 minutes with my Wii once I get new batteries for the remotes.

I am really hoping these short intrevals will help me reach my big goals. 

On the eating front..I have gone back to measuring out my food.  I was doing really good when I took the time to measure it out.  So we will see if that helps again this time.  I am also writing everything thing done in my GoWear fit prgram.  I have started wearing my armband again and I remember how motiviating it was wearting it.

I went to the Doctor the other day and with the help of the meds my blood pressure was good.  Now I just need to drop some pounds so I can get off the medicine.

Here is to hoping all this will stick this time..

Untill then..
