Updating

Updating before Casey calls me out again. LOL Computer has been getting fixed. I got it back last night, plugged it all in and nodda happened. It didn't even boot up. WTF?!?! So, gotta figure that out!

Workouts have been good, running has really picked up again. I did 2 miles yesterday in 19 minutes, so still on the same speed. It's really great to be able to run again. I told Greg that I have to stick to my diet and so we agreed to slow down on the eating part. It's not that we were eating THAT unhealthy but more than what I would normally eat and not the foods I'd normally eat. I'm still holding steady at 143 lbs so I guess all is good. I still have about 20 days left of this challenge so we'll see where it will take me. Everything else is great between us.

Jen, when I get a pic I can post of us, I'll do it. :)

Day 58

OK here I am again. Things continue to go well with workouts. I ran Saturday after work 2 miles in 18:55. Very minimal amount of hamstring pulling. YAY! Other workouts have been going well also, but eating has suffered a great blow. I told Greg today that I have GOT to go back to eating clean because I really just can't afford to backtrack and gain weight. So, we agreed to eat cleaner at night. We'll see how that goes. It's a bit harder when he's feeding an 11 y/o son, but I just have to do what I have to do!!

So you guys want the scoop on him, huh? Well, just know that he's a super nice guy, good looking, good body and is really REALLY into me and treats me like a Queen!! :) What more could I ask for! :D

OK< back to the grindstone!!

Day 50 something....

OK, I don't remember what day it is, but things are going well. Workouts have been goodand I actually got a good run in yesterday! I did 15 minutes (1.5 miles) without hardly any hamstring pain. I'm going to go today after I get off work and see about maybe running 1/2 hour, if possible. I so seriously miss getting a good run in!!!

OK, so meals haven't been 100% clean. I mean it hasn't been HORRIBLE, but nothing like how I normally eat. Dating kinda throws a wrench into super clean eating, but I'm holding steady with my weight and my top 4 abs are starting to come in, so changing up must be doing something. I know I can't continue to keep eating this way, but I am keeping a close watch on it.

Just finished talking with Jonnae. She is doing so well!! What a wonderful young lady to chat with. She certainly lifts my spirit and heart. She has the sweetest voice and the cutest laugh. You can't help but smile when talking to her. She's on day 64, so 36 days left in Cincinnati! Keep her in your thoughts and prayers still!

Day 52

Things are going well. I'm down to 143 at the moment. I really dont want to lose any more weight but need to tone up a bit more. That means encorporating in more cardio to get rid of the fat on my tummy, but increasing my weights and even calories to add some more muscle mass.

Yesterday, I did cardio after I got home. I did 20 minute HIIT and got 2 miles in 22minutes (slow, I know, compared to my usual but at least I'm getting it done.) Hamstring still bothered me but not as bad. Afterwards, I just kept walking until I ended up walking an hour/4.7miles.

Meals were good until a piece of cake jumped into my mouth yesterday. But, I'm actually feeling a bit more toned lately, so while I know this is my "no excuses" challenge, I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I did it, I'm over it, I'm moving on....

On the relationship front, just know that I found a wonderful guy who treats me like a woman should be treated...like a Queen! I swear, in all of my relationships (not that there have been tons) no one has ever treated me with such great respect and adoration. I almost feel like I don't deserve it. But, you know what, I DO!!! OK, so thats all you get from that area of my life.....for now. :)

Continuation of Day 50--the updates

OK, so today has been a good day. I went to the gym this morning and did LBWO. Meals have been good today although a little lacking in substance. Water is good. On my 3rd liter, so will have no problemo getting another liter in after that.

So, ya'll want details. Without invading too much privacy, yes there is a man involved in the details of my absence, yes it has to do with that beautiful car, and yes I'm having a great time and am really happy right now.

So, that's the scoop you get. If you want more details, you'll have to contact me somehow. :) Now, off to pretty myself up a bit for said hunk!

Day 50

OK OK...I'm here, I'm here. Sorry for the absence but I've been living my life a little bit and its been GREAT! Now, meals haven't been exactly great, but still getting my workouts in. Need to still increase the cardio portion. I'll report back more later. I have to get ready for work....

Day 44

OK OK, geez Casey gets so excited if I dont update every day!! Nothing new really to report. Things are going well, workouts good, eating good. Water could be better, but not horrible. I've had 3.5L today, so not too bad. Otherwise, I'm off to bed so I can get some cardio done tomorrow!

Day 41

Nearly half way there, but no where near where I should be at the half way point. I was sick the last few days and almost went to the ER, but am better. I worked out today and made up chest and tris, and did 20 minutes on the elliptical. I think the elliptical has stopped hurting my hamstring so wil have to push harder on it now that it seems I can do it. I definately need to hit things harder in order for these last 6 weeks to do well.

Here are some pictures of the Team Asylum Leg Challenge. I think is goes beginning, week 2, week 3, and today week 6. No substantial changes over the past 3 weeks but at least I think theres no back tracking either.

More later...

Snow Day and the big 4-OH

Well, today turned into a snow day. We got quite a bit of snow and this morning the weather wasn't the greatest. Since most of our patients are geriatric patients, we called them and didn't open today. Just about all of them said they were going to call and cancel anyway.

Then, today is the big 4-OH! Yup, my 40th birthday has arrived. Man, I bet my mom is feeling old about right now. Her baby is 40!! Well, I don't know what 40 is supposed to feel like, but I don't think I feel 40. I don't look 40, and I sure the hell don't ACT 40! LOL So, its all good!

Today I ate some birthday cake. HAH!! Other than that, I've not had anything. So, I need to get some food in (real food and NOT cake lol). Today is a no workout day! YEAH! Just being bad all the way around!

Heres a picture from the party last night. It turned out really nice and I had a good time. Too bad the snow kept half the people away. Oh well. :)

The cake said: 40 never looked so good! Ya' got that right!!! Heres to 40 more HEALTHY years!!!!

Day 33 and 34

OK so yesterday went well. Food, water, workouts all good! I've been trying to post since yesterday but things keep freezing!

Today has gone okay. I'm way behind on food, but water is good. No workout today, yet, but I think I'll get on the treadmill for a bit. I may try to run and see how my hamstring feels. If it starts pulling then, maybe I'll do the elliptical. We'll see.

I also bought the car last night. Everytime I try to post pictures, blogger crashes. I'll post this then try again!!!
