I'm Stuck

I have been down for a week with an injury (shin splints). I think the hills did it.

I did the 10K in Roseville and came in at 58:13. Happy about posting a similar time as our Turkey trot as the course was much harder. Mile 1, 2 and 6 were the easiest. Mile 3 was a downhill switchback. Mile 4 and 5 were brutal, all uphill. The course went out 3.1 miles and then you turn around and came back. Other than being about 40 degrees, the weather was beautiful and the course spectacular.

I remain at 210, not sure why. I am tending to a new thyroid problem (gotta luv genetics). Not looking for an excuse, but it is a common cause for weight gain and lack of loss. After 6 weeks they increased by dose so maybe I will get in balance. Good luck to everyone and hopefully we can be better at posting and achieving our goals.

Hello!!

I am finally here!  

alright, so my goal is to get to 160lbs.

I am currently 190.6!  (up 10lbs. since summer) 

Yikes! I can't believe I am publishing this

for the world to see! (okay, maybe not the world) 

As far as an exercise program, I am planning on taking 

a few classes at the YMCA each week  (this week I have already done 

a kick boxing class and a weight lifting class) 

and doing quite a bit of walking.  

I just signed up for the breast cancer 3 day walk.  Scheduled for

Sept. 11-13th.  It is a 60 mile walk over the three days. 

so, that means I will be doing some major walking to train for it! 

talk with you next week

Still In!

I know, we have been blogger slackers! But it is hard to post when it's not great news! We are still working hard, we have been doing much better since the first of the year. We weren't too great in December, well I wasn't, Rhett did pretty good through the holidays. He hit 205, but right now is right about 207. He keeps saying he is going to start lifting weights, we were going to do it here at home at night, but that is not happening, so we may get up another 1/2 hour earlier and lift before we go to the gym, I don't know how well that will go either.
I have decided to run/walk a 5k in May. I have been talking about it forever, but I am going to do it. So last Saturday I got on the treadmill and ran for 2 miles straight! I have never in my life done that, I have ran a mile, but that is the most I have done straight! I then walked a little and ran the rest to 3.2 miles and did it in 41:40. I am doing the treadmill every other day and spinning class on the other days. Friday I did 3.2 miles in 38:40, so hopefully I can continually shave time off. As it gets warmer I will start running outside, I know that is harder than on the treadmill, but it is way to cold for me right now!
So my numbers - not much news there - I did gain over the holidays (we had treats at school everyday!!!!!!) I started anew at the New Year at 187, and Friday I weighed in at 184.8. We are in this for the long haul. Even if it doesn't show on the scale, I am feeling so much better and it feels good to be getting in better shape!
Good job Cameron for loosing while on vacation! That is awesome! Your trip looked magical! Claudine

IS ANYONE STILL GOING TO DO THIS????

I will continue to post because it helps me. It is a sort of accountability I guess. We didn't post last week because we were on a great family vacation in southern California. Monday morning weigh in was;

Cameron 147.8 lbs. opps!!! I ment 247.8 lbs. (I like the other # better.)
Rebecca (I don't know) She will have to edit this.

It is a new year and this is the year for the cruise so get with it. We don't have to be to our goals to go so just keep up the good work. We are running in the mornings again. We did a bit during the break but not real consistently. Happy New Year!!!
