10K??

So there is a 10K on the weekend of the air show at our base and I am thinking that I might do it.  If I am going to run a half marathon in December I better get serious about running.  I have a couple of 5Ks planned and I am going to try to start running outside more and see how I do.  I have about 3 weeks before the 10K.  I think its doable.  Humm...

Great day!

I am so excited!  I ran 5 miles today without stopping.  I felt it was a great accomplishment and a great way to start off the week.  My cardio class tonight was AMAZING!!!  I feel like I really pushed myself. 

Fat

So I have lost around 45 lbs.  Wow!!

Fell off the wagon

Well this weekend has been BAD!!!  I ate total crap all weekend (fri/sat).  Tomorrow I have to jump back on the wagon.  I feel like junk and it's because of the junk I ate.  Where did my will power go?  I think with me being sick I just didn't feel like cooking.  Oh well, tomorrow is another day.  I need to pick myself up and start fresh. 

Still here

I am still here.  I haven't weighed this week and don't plan to until Sunday so I really haven't had a whole lot to say.  Things are going pretty good.  I have decided to add a graham cracker to my paleo plan.  They had that back then right?  LOL.  No, they did not but I need something to curve this bread anxiety and a graham cracker seems to be doing the trick.  I will eventually try to get into something a little more healthy but this is working for now.  I have had sinus issues for two days now and drinking tons of water.  I feel dehydrated even though I am putting down over 100 ounces a day.  Today I am almost done with 96 ounces and its not even 5 so  I will go well over today.  My workouts have been good this week.  I went to 4 evening classes and we went to the park a couple of times.  I have been missing my weight lifting workouts this week but Madison has been snotty so I don't want to drag her to the gym twice a day.  She needs some time to get better.  Well, that's it for me.  I made some chili for dinner and my husband whined until I put beans in it so I guess I am not going full paleo for dinner.  Have a great weekend!

Update pics

So my husband calls me a narcissist.  I call it motivation.  If I am feeling down and wanting to just quit the whole weight loss thing and binge eat.  I take a few pictures and compare them to my day 1 photos and tell myself that its worth it.  I am worth it.  Call it what you will but I will continue to take pics to view my progress.  So here are my new pics after a day of feeling like giving up.  I am feeling better.  I am starting to see some definition in my arms and tummy.  I still need to get a tan, lol.

The first set is my Day 1 and Month 10 and the second set is my Week 1 and Month 10.

Anxiety vs bread

Ok, so I know why cavemen ran around like crazy people grunting and hollering gibberish.  It's because they were missing bread in their diets. 

I have been so cranky since starting this diet.  Almost to the point that I don't like my own attitude.  Even though this diet is working for me physically, I really don't think it is helping me mentally.  I have been so cranky towards my kids, family, and peers.  I used to call my sis and mom 10 times a day and I didn't even speak to my sister at all today.  It has really got me in a funk.  I am considering going off of it for a couple of days to see if I see any improvements with my mood.  Maybe it's just all in my head.
