WI Results

Another great weight in this week :)  2.1 pounds down !!  I received another 5 pound star, even though I had to remind the lady at the desk that I was entitled to one.  I wish she was a little more excited about the whole weight loss process since it is Weight Watchers.   
 
I went to an all you can eat sushi restaurant last week it was amazing and I am  proud to announce I wrote down everything I ate.  I think it was something like 50 points!  Which is a little ridiculous, needless to say I will be only going there once or twice a year , it just isn't worth it!  
 
My workouts have been up to par.  Can you believe that I ran 25 minutes straight!!!???  I did and it felt absolutely wonderful!   I can't believe I have been training 3 times a week since the end of March!   Race day is less then two weeks away.     I am really looking forward to crossing that finish line. 
 
Weekly Workouts
 
Monday-  Running (37mins)
Tuesday- Running (36mins)
Wednesday-  Yoga (60mins)
Thursday- Running  (30mins)   
 
Saturday and Sunday I worked a total of 26 hours which equals a lot of miles walking and serving customers all day and night.  Although I don't count this as a workout.  I am sure I burned some serious calories. 
 
I am looking forward to an amazing weekend.  Friday I am going to Mont Tremblant for the night,  Saturday I will be seeing Jillian Michael's and Sunday I am going to a BBQ.  I hope the weather holds up.  I am going to try to stay within my daily points and save my extra points for the weekend.  I promise to take lots of pictures :)  
 
 
Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I really appreciate it.  I love reading all of your comments and it makes a world of difference to me.    It helps me stay motivated and less alone in this whole  weight loss process.
 
P.S I updated my Progress Photo's,  I see a bit of a difference especially in my back rolls lol  Gawd I can't wait till those are gone!

Pictures

I went to Yoga on the hill  for the first time this season it was a beautiful hot summer day and I loved every minute of it.   There was over 1000 people who participated!    Here's a few pictures to share with my peeps :)

Before we started

nothing feels better then a back stretch
 
They will be offering free yoga every Wednesday at noon from May to August.  I am going to try to go as much as possible this summer. 
 
I went for my well deserved pedicure tonight :) 
 

It looks grey in this pic but it's more of a bluish colour



Have a great week!

WI Results

I am down 1.6 pounds this week.  It was a hard week I had so many cravings.  I tried to deal with them in a positive manner either by going to sleep, distracting myself by reading or having one sweet treat instead of 6!   It worked for the most part.   
 
Weekly Workouts
 
Tuesday- Jogging (31mins)
Thursday- Jogging (32mins) 
Sunday- Driving range (35mins)  
 
On Thursday I had a bad run.  I was suppose to warm-up for 5 minutes then run for 20 minutes straight!!  I knew I would feel great once  I finished but it just started off bad.  My music wasn't working properly which was very annoying then after 15 minutes of running I realized my Nike app was on pause so it didn't track the last twenty minutes.  I wanted to cry!!  I know it's not earth shattering but I really wanted to know my distance and pace so I stopped running and just walked home.  I know I should have kept on running but my heart wasn't in it :(   I am back on track today and went for a great run ! Next time if that happens again I have to push through and deal with it.  
 
 
Now that I am under 240 I can treat myself to a pedicure!!  I am going Wednesday.  I can't wait!!  
 
 
Have a great week everyone!! 
 
Is anyone on Weight Watchers?? If so,  do you eat your weekly points ?

Debbie downers

I had a great month in April and I am super proud of everything I accomplished but in the last couple of days I have been feeling annoyed with some people. Why is it so hard for people to be happy for one another. I was talking to a co-worker telling her about my running accomplishments. Instead of just listening or congratulating me on my success the comment that comes out of her mouth is "isn't it hard on your joints ?" This is the second time she has said this. I am assuming this is coming from a good place but really?? I told her it hasn't effect me at all.

Today I wrote on my Facebook that my challenge for the month is to run 50 km. I had a few likes and Positive comments saying they might join me with this challenge. That is the primary reason why
I post it on fb to see if anyone wants to join. But of course I get a comment that says, that is only 1.6 km a day. (Thanks for doing the math for me buddy!). He also wrote you should include weight training to your regime. It's very annoying when people assume things instead of asking ??! I do weights as well but he assumed I didn't. I realize I am not
150 pounds but that doesn't mean I haven't been working out since I was 16. I am not saying I am expert but I will say I have gained a lot of knowledge from all the sports and training classes i have taken over the years. From yoga, tae kwon do, volleyball, baseball, tennis, weight training, trying every aerobic class at my gym. This is not my first rodeo even if I am fat. Nutrition and emotional eating is my demon to face. I know these people are not trying to be hurtful and I know I am a sensitive person but it still bothers me lol

I have been having intense cravings for the last few days and I really don't want to undo all my success. Hence the reason I
Am Writing on my blog.

One day I will stop caring about what the Debbie downers say but I am not quite their yet.


How you ever expected this? And how did you deal with it in a healthy manner?
