Off To A Good Start

We'll see how long this lasts but I am pretty motivated right now. I have done well these last two days with eating and working out. Yesterday I went on my first run outside. It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It was also my first workout in 7 weeks. I went out on another run today right after work and then my friend asked me if I wanted to go on a bike ride- so I said why not?!  Burnt over 500 calories today leaving me at a deficit of over 1,000 calories today alone :)

I got my email about Run or Dye. I am going home on the 22nd to visit my high school student teaching placement, and then I will go pick up my race packet  :) I am very excited.

I have been debating how often I want to weigh myself. Generally when I get motivated I like to weigh myself everyday so I can see the shifts, but I think that it may be more beneficial to only weigh in once a week. If not more beneficial, it certainly will help me to feel good about my progress.
I am going to try to keep up with this, because I really want it. Two days is a little early to get excited about being so motivated, but I am excited either way and I hope it goes a long way.

Disappointed- But Moving ON

One good week, one bad week, one good week, one bad week and then....... So its been 7 weeks since I've blogged, worked out or tried to eat healthy. It always starts with one bad day. I have an emotional day where something bad happens, and I decide to eat Burger King for lunch- then it spirals to eating whatever I want that day, which spirals to eating whatever I want for a few days. Well, you get it. 7 weeks later and I am disappointed in myself. But as the title of this post says, I am moving on.

A lot has happened in these last 7 weeks, starting with the fact that I have finished my last semester of classes at WIU. I begin student teaching in the Fall, and then will move on to graduate in December and then get married two weeks later.
I currently have no gym membership, as our membership as students is only valid in the fall and spring semesters. I am living alone again for the next month and a half while my HTB works in our hometown. We have a 5K in 10 days. I will probably not be running the whole thing, but I'm happy that I can at least try. This will be my first, so I am excited. However I need to actually get out and start running again.

I haven't gained any weight- I am sitting at 181.7 right now. So today, I start over. I began my day with a bowl of Banana Nut Crunch and I will try to drink as much water as possible. After work this afternoon I plan on taking a walk/run around campus if it doesn't rain.

I am ready to get back on the train- because I don't have a lot of time left to fit in this wedding dress.
