Late but Here!!

Ok last week wasn't a stellar week. The good thing is, I didn't gain or loose. When I say that is a good thing, let me just say that I probably went out to eat 5 times last week. I only managed to work out 3 times last week, and I had to cut back my running. My foot has been hurting and Jake told me to slow it down. So I am back to strait walking right now. Though instead of increasing my speed, I have been doing intervals at different inclines. So That is still giving me a decent workout. I only did weights once last week. I still need to figure out how to over come my emotional eating. Luckily Jake is in with me, because he has been making some fabulous healthy meals. But since we do have nights were we have to have a quick meal because of the kids activities, instead of pizza or McDonald's we do Progressive Soup and sandwich's. The have a great variety of healthy soups, and the kids like them. And it is cheaper than picking up a quick burger as well!

Week 2 and 3 Check In

I've had trouble finding time to post, but here it is Wednesday and I'm finally doing it.

I worked out 4 times each of the last two weeks. Lost 3 lbs. two weeks ago and 2 lbs. last week. I increased my weight training considerably and instead of using the treadmill I hit the track. It's a completely different workout and really gets my heart rate up. I'm lucky that I have a great work-out partner (Carrie) and a good trainer - Tielu. Tielu and I work together at 3M and he's a work-out freak (can you say "muscle-head"?). I try to hit the gym with him once a week and he helps me with the weight training routines I need. It seems to be working.

Week 3.........

Ok so now I am annoyed. I did way better this week and weekend than I did last week and yet...no loss no gain... Maybe my "week two" curse is catching up to me. I did work 3 graves in a row last week so I'm thinking that may have something to do with it. We are in the thick of moving this week...(Saturday is the big day!!!), so I am hoping to make it through with very little stress snacking. I did buy the jello mousse snacks, they are tasty but the texture is bit off for me...a little thick. Hopefully I can survive the inevitable Krispy Kreme moving day curse. I did work out 2X this last week, so I am going to bump it up this week and try to get to the gym atleast 3X as well as all the work that moving is. So total down is 7lbs and I am hoping to at least see 1 lb down by next Monday!!

Monday Report- Suzanne- Week 3

Week three was better for me. I didn't work out as much, but I felt like I was more in control and not starving. Two more pounds down! It was a super busy week and I think that helped. It has also helped now that Jed is on board with the program. I tried a couple new recipes this past week that I will post soon. Anyone got any good inspiration?
