Wednesday weigh in week 32

                                                       

It might seem gross. But sometimes I just need a reminder. So I only lost 1 pound this week. But looking at that picture, it makes me grateful for my one pound :0)

So today I became one of "those" people. That decide to just go out and do a 5k without any sort of training. I had signed up on Sparkpeople to do a virtual 5k this week and I was trying to decide the best time to do it. Well the week doesn't really have any morning that I could go do it, and it's been hot around here, so I knew I would have to do it at night. I got to the track right as the sun was setting around 8:30 and proceeded to run/walk for the next hour. I was happy that my first official 5k time was 59:29. I was just excited that it was under an hour. Only 30 seconds shy...but still. Under an hour.

I haven't been running most of the summer. My wisdom teeth have gotten the best of me and I just have a hard time running in the heat. So yeah. I've used it as an excuse. I think the longest I've run recently is about 2 miles. Several. Weeks. Ago. So I lost track of how many times I actually ran around the track tonight. But I think I ran about 2 miles without stopping and then walked the rest. I always start out with a warm up lap, but I think I walked 3 laps at the end? So yeah. Still. I did it and that's all that matters. No matter how sore I will be tomorrow haha! I am supposed to go walking with a friend, so we will work out those sore muscles tomorrow :0)

This year and this summer have just downright escaped me. It's just gone by so so fast. I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I wont be losing 100 pounds this year like my goal states. I mean if I got severely hardcore about this I could probably still swing it. But I absolutely don't want to set myself up to crash and burn. I have about 76 more pounds to go before I hit the 100 mark. I mean if I made about 3.5 pounds a week I could do it. I have basically lost all the weight that I regained after the wedding I was in. So I took a little detour I guess. I wasn't expecting to have to get my teeth out this year either. :( That was another detour. And this whole allergy thing has really thrown me for a loop. But I guess I can't really complain about losing 5 pounds in two weeks because of it right?

And so now we are gearing up to start school again at the end of the month. And getting ready for my mom to have another surgery. She's gonna be out 4-6 weeks. But I'm not gonna let it set me back like it did last time. I need to come up with a better plan of attack and get some workouts in still. Because really if I start working out, I will start losing weight. It's just what my body does. Oddly enough ;)

Wednesday Weigh in Week 31

4.6 pounds lost this week!

Well this isn't much of a surprise! I mean. For someone who hasn't been able to eat much because of getting my wisdom teeth out. I have basically been living on soft foods since the 13th. As well as finding out about the allergies. So I really haven't been eating a whole lot of food. And since my mouth is still closing up, I still have some figuring out of stuff to do. I must still be eating something my body doesn't like. But between the foods I'm allergic to and the foods that the blood type diet says I shouldn't be eating, there pretty much isn't anything I can eat that I like. Um yeah. Not going to be following the blood type diet to a t. There are things I can limit and some things I might avoid. But let's be realistic. I have to be able to eat. I can't avoid all food. I will starve. Literally.

I wish I was just so naturally inclined to be able to eat anything. My gag reflex of textures is not my friend at times. I did try some zuchinni yesterday. Found out there really isn't much of a taste to it. Which makes it easy to put in things. LOL. I even got my brothers to eat some. They put it on their pb and j sandwiches that they had. Dang I miss my peanut butter sandwiches.

Time to get the boys off to swim lessons. :) The dry socket from my teeth is getting better. I went back to the dentist today and they repacked it with the clove whatever they put in it! Still aches a little but. But nowhere near what it hurt like right after the surgery. I get to go back on Friday and see if I get to have some over the weekend too. Yesterday I managed to not take any pain medication, so that was nice! Hopefully it gets to feeling a lot better soon!

Wednesday Weigh in Week 27

Oy. So this whole food allergy test really threw me last week. I had to eat the foods I've been avoiding for a while now. Basically a great excuse to binge right? Right. Thankfully I only gained two pounds. And I pray it comes off quickly. I was really liking that 4 pound loss that I had last week.

It was definitely an eye opening experience just letting go and eating all these foods that I haven't been. And just noticing the effects that they had on my body. And I am not impressed I have to say. I was actually quite ready to get back to my gluten free diet. Safe to say my love affair with bread has ended. I mean would I like a roll every now and then? Yeah. Will I have one? Probably. But to notice the difference of how my body feels when I am not eating it and when I am was pretty amazing. I'm ready for my energy to come back and to get my workouts started again. We are having some weird funky weather. Yesterday it was 58 and raining for most of the day. Where our 100 degree weather went I have no idea? Heck even the upper 80's or lower 90's. I guess I shouldn't complain ;) It's pretty nice weather. It's just hard to take a 5 year old with no body fat on him and throw him in the pool for swim lessons in 60 degree weather outside! He is a popsicle within 10 minutes. But toughs it out for the 30 minutes with teeth chattering. :)

So I get to go to the doctor on the 12th of July to find out the results of my allergy tests. And then the 13th I get my wisdom teeth out. July is gonna be a busy month for me financially LOL! Yikes. I gotta buckle down and get cracking on my finances. I have a lot that I am trying to do and save for! It's gonna be a crazy rest of the year.

Gosh I really need to go workout :0)

Wednesday Weigh in week 17

Um yeah...Did you see that? 3 pound loss!!!!!!

I really have no idea how it happened. I didn't exercise. I ate things I shouldn't have. And I still ended up losing 3 pounds. Ok. I guess I will take it :) I did stop drinking coffee and started taking some apple cider vinegar pills. But still. My body might just be catching up with me.

Yesterday I did work out at home. I rode on the bike for 20 minutes and did a few weights, and some crunches. Um yeah. I get pretty dang tired of the bike in about 6 minutes. I have to say it hurts my butt incredibly! I am gonna see if I can angle the seat a little differently for tomorrow when I get back on it. It's definitely a change in workout. I can walk/run for an hour with no problem, but put me on a bike for 20 minutes and I feel like I am going to die! It's good to change it up every once in a while ;) Right?

So today of all days one of my wisdom teeth decides to come protruding on out of my mouth. Right in the gums above my last tooth. This is a little irritating since less than a week ago I went and saw the orthodontist to start braces again to get my teeth re straightened before I get the implant where my baby tooth used to be. The orthodontist asked me if my dentist was concerned about my wisdom teeth at all, to which I cheerfully said, nope. It didn't seem like a problem and we were gonna do the braces first. Lo and behold it decided to be a problem. Trouble is, they don't have an appointment until May 2nd to be able to look at it. Grr. Well they did. Today at 3, which conveniently I had already taken off from work because my mom had a doctor appointment. So that didn't work. I am going to be on a call list to see if there is an earlier appointment that I can be seen before the 2nd. Otherwise it's ibprofen my friend until I see the dentist.

So, now we are off to pick up my little brother for school! Woo-hoo for 3 pounds this week :)
