Day 54 and Day 55

Today has been a good day!



Meals went well, no surprises.



My foot isn't doing very well today! Yesterday, was a pretty good day with my foot. It seems that the day after group workout, it's not in the best condition. I will ice it again tonight and hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Day 55

It went well!

All is well, well almost!

I can do it, I will do it....YES, I CAN!

I am worth it! YES, I AM!

Day 53

Today was a good day!

Meals, went pretty good. I fell a bit short on calories, it was one of those busy days at work.

All good choices of the food, I did eat

Today was group workout, I was tired because I didn't get a good night's sleep. It was one of the first days, that I felt like I didn't really want to go, but deep down I know it's not an option -not to go.

I knew it was going to be a hard workout, Coach always makes Thursdays our toughest days. I pushed myself extra on Tuesday, because I knew today would be tough! Sure enough it was, I think my eyes popped out, when he told me what I'd be doing. I thought, "you want me to what" , OK Coach - OK, and off I went.

Somehow he really knows how to push me to my limits and then some. After I'm done, I always wonder how the hell did I just do that! I underestimate myself as to what my limits are and how I can push through to do it! It doesn't feels very good, if I don't push to finish.

Mid-way through the workout, I had a thought (just for a nano second) "I'm really liking this, do I dare say I'm enjoying this workout". I think ,I scared myself, because I quickly thought no that is not possible....

I kept wondering how long it would take, until I got to the point that I could look forward and enjoy my workouts. I'm not there yet but I feel it coming, I really do.

Oski,
Thanx for the extra push, it was much needed.

All is well!

Day 52

Yesterday, was another good day, just coming off the high of election day!



Meals went well. It seems have gotten easier, which is a good thing.



My foot didn't do so well, but with the standard regimen it was better this morning. Hopefully, I'll be able to get through today's group workout. I know it will be a tough one.

All is well,

Xoxo,

Day 51

YES, WE CAN!

We are all in the game!
What a spectacular and historical day!
It is an honor to have witness and to have been a part of today!

Our next
President Elect Barack Obama

Step by step, I will do the things I need to do to achieve me goals.

What a FABULOUS DAY!

All in all last week went well. I still need to do better on writing my meals down everyday, drinking all my water and making sure I eat every 4 hour or so. I did pretty well but there were a few days I fell short of those goals.

I still have moments that I expect/want to loose more each week, I need to be grateful for every bit I loose when I loose it. Even though I'm doing this a very healthy way, I still have that nano second of "oh, I didn't loose more,come on - all that hard work and only 1.5#". I know it takes time to re-wire my brain, with being satisfied and happy with every pound I loose.

My feet are still not doing very well, but my Physical Therapist tells me to be patient and that they will get better, it just takes time. There are days that it's not so bad, then there are days that I want to cut my feet off. I'm just tired of having to deal with it, and I'm tried of not run/walking the other three days.

I was reminded this week that I am worth doing all the things I'm doing to get to my goals. For so long, my actions subconsciously and consciously said I wasn't worth it. That is no longer the case, I am worth it and I am doing it. AND I FEEL FANTASTIC!

During yesterdays workout I though my Coach lost his marbles when he asked me to run the newest distance. I really didn't think I could do it 3x, I don't know how far it is but it is far. Last week I ran it 1x and thought I was going to die and could barely walk the next 2 laps, so as you can imagine my horror when he asked me to do it 3x.

To my surprise, I did the 1st lap with some easy. I felt so good that I was able to do it with a bit of easy and the next 2 where not so bad either it was hard but not impossible. I guess, Coach D didn't loose his marbles, after all.

All is well!

Day 47 and 48

They we both good days. My meals went well.

Halloween was good, I managed to stay again for all that candy.

Sat. was my day off!
I went to a wedding and managed to not do so badly.
I did indulged a bit. I had 3 bits of cake and some candy from the candy bar they had. That was pretty cool, they had large vases of candy for guess to help themselves with, I hadn't seen that at a party before.

Dinner was good, stayed with the chicken and salad, I managed to for go the rice. I also managed to only have 1 drink, good thing I volunteered to be the DD.

All is well.
