Tonight I was the 5K for my Weight Watchers. I HAD a blast. I'm still kind of energized. It went fabulously. I went with a friend. We walked a week ago, after our Meeting just to see how we were doing. We did 5K last Wednesday night in about 59.minutes. Tonight? We did our 5K in 49m13seconds!!! and we did it for us? And WOW does it ever feel accomplished to sign up for something and say you did it! i'm so awesomely Proud of me and my walking friends.
I only wish I had thought to take my camera and actually take a picture of me and my friend crossing that line! It wasn't a ribbon or anything cool you see other people walking through but it was still our finish line. We hung around the finish for a bit too and cheered on some more of the walkers there tonight with us for the walk. I tried to look like a mii (wii character) Jumping up and down at the end of the "run" when you do the wiifit run! haha!
I couldn't stop talking when I got home. I'm pretty sure my Hubbie is still rolling his eyes at me. I didn't want to sit down either. Energized! I'm energized. I did a load of laundry, I stood at the sink and did a load of dishes, and now I'm looking for something to do. You should see my fingers flying across the keyboard? Is this what "High?" feels like? wow!!!
mood of the day? Accomplished, Happy and Energized!! :) GO ME!
(I didn't weigh-in this week I'll visit the altar of truth next Wednesday night)

HASAY, OK I've Procrastinated Enough
Rather then write here today, I baked(I will not post the food porn), I cleaned the counters, I cleaned the doors to the basement, and the cupboard doors in my kitchen. I'm not losing, I'm stuck again. I lost 4.4 in september, but no more after that. I just need .2 for this week to get to 20lbs "again". The "baby" is now 4.5yrs old. It shouldn't be this hard to get this weight off. I know I was so determined the first time I lost. This time it's harder so much harder.
I've been reading everyone's updates, I've seen some awesome progress, and some great attitude. Me? today? my attitude is in the crapper! I've been walking with MJ around the block, he is in his pink Trike and I'm pushing him with a broom stick so that things go Faster! The pace of a 4.5yrold will get me no where, but a 4.5yrold on a Trike being pushed with a broomstick? now it feels like we're doing something. I've asked for help to keep me motivated from my family. I've asked them to eat the healthy food vs the stuff they really want. I want my boys to grow up healthy but they have their dad's motabolism, they look at food and lose weight, I look at food and gain. The big part of this is that "I" have to do it. So I will keep walking and running after that Trike and Away from the Bear! (yes he's back 4miles from here 2 bears were spotted this morning, you can tell it's their garbage pick up day, tomorrow is ours!)
Meals have been better, more veggies are in the house and less snacking. I've bought their lunch snacks all packaged up. They are a bit bummed that I'm not baking more. They want me to make cinnamon Buns, Apple muffins, cookies and even chocolate chip pancakes. I want none of those things to be in my house. If it's packed I wont touch it. A package of mini chocolate chip cookies? not a problem because they are for the kids lunches, and I only buy enough to do so many days. A package of cheese strings? it's theirs,a 500g chunk of cheese? uh now we've got problems.
I made whole wheat pizza this weekend, spicy beef stirfry and salads, those will work. I've journaled for 4wks straight this month, I bite it a write it so the October goal will be to keep that going, and work on the liquids and less fluff. The fluff will fluff you up everytime!

And...here we go!
1. My car _is a van with two sliding doors, but this week? my drivers side slider is stuck and according to my Hubbie and the guys at the shop it's going to take a LOT Of work to get it unstuck because it's not just stuck but locked and stuck and in order to fix it we have to get the unlocked to work! I'm not happy. I did get to drive the new car this week. I don't like it, it's a sporty car I feel small on the road____.
2. ___My Hubbie's Birthday________ is coming up next.
3. Lately, things seem ____rushed, now we have band, bowlingX3, Cross country Running X2, and me trying to fit in my work out time_______.
4. _____The bathtub, with a book,______ is one of my favorite 'hiding' places.
5. What happened ____to those days when my kids were tiny and liftable? Now I've got kids as tall as my shoulders or belly button_______.
6. _____Losing weight______ is not impossible! (not gaining it back is the hard part)
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to _my big walk while the kids are home playing with hubbie, and then maybe some movies with the kids____, tomorrow my plans include ___take the kids bowling, playground hopping while it's still warm enough, late night walking for me before the sun sets__ and Sunday, I want to __have great a Sunday mass experience as last week,I didn't have to waggle my finger or whisper to anyone in my family about their behaviour, it was calming and I was one happy Mommy, Praying we get a Sunday like that this week too___!

Walking Motivation and Me time
Oh look it's me again, back for another post. This totally come under the "me" part of my life. I love walking and walking fast, and getting the job done. It works much better when I have someone to walk with or music to listen to. This fall I'll be listening to music. I've lost my walking partner. We were slowly drifting apart for different reasons but this past year was the end. Her daughter is in her last year of Highschool, my youngest hasn't even gone to school yet. Her youngest is a year ahead of my oldest and that was our connection. My boys play with her boy. Her daughter was our sitter. Not now. Another wedge.
So my walks are a bit less then I'd like, when I had someone with me I'd go every night when I have no one there to go too, it's hard to motivate to get it done. My boys are not good walking company. It's hard to walk when you are telling other people to stay out of the middle of the street. My hubbie of late has been 'doing stuff before it's dark' and that's cutting into my walking time. I'm struggling. If only my bloggy friends would walk with me! I can't though walk with a laptop and I don't have a cellphone and I'd end up walking into traffic so I use my music. I plug in my earbuds (repeatedly they never stay in) and off i go. If it's getting dark fast? I've been known to run the last 1/4 mile. I'm not a runner. It's dangerous, there's that fear of concussion and possible chest related injuries.
Maybe I need a dog? A puppy wants to run fast right?
