Good day ladies!
My weigh in this week is 251.6 up one pound from last week. However, last week I was just coming back from being sick. This week I was up as much as 6 pounds, so overall I will take what I got.
I am getting back into running, got 4 miles in on Tuesday, 5 miles on Thursday, and 6.5 on Sunday morning.
I love the feeling when I am back into the running!
Today was day one of P90X .. it kicked my butt.
But yes, I pushed play ... and did what I could.
And I am proud of myself ....
Next week will be better, I promise!

My New Toy ...
Well, my Body Media Fit has arrived... and lemme tell you it is the greatest invention ever!
Today was a good day, I logged my food, I made good choices, and I got a 5 mile run in.
My run was not the greatest. I forgot my Chomps and I dropped my blood sugar at about mile 4 and started to get really dizzy, but I would not quit! So I did finish my run ... woo hoo. I was unfortunately FOUR minutes slower than my Turkey Trot time, but what can you do?
Here are the stats from the Body Media ... I burned 3429 calories today, took 14500 steps, had 75 minutes of vigorous activity (which means it counts my running as vigrous which is good) and 44 minutes of moderate activity. I had an overall 1267 calorie deficity after logging my food.
Now ladies... PLEASE look at what I burned. Now if I ate 1200 calories what do you think my body would do. As it was I added some chocolate at the end of the night because I was low. I am still too low according to the recommendation of the software who says to eat 750 under your burn for the day!

Wellll......
Now my plague has taken on the shape of sinus and cold ick.
Yesterday, after every trip down to the basement for laundry, I had a coughing fit that I am not joking, lasted between 5 and 10 minutes. The awful, can't get your breath kind of coughing fits.
Today I have done nothing, and felt mostly better, except for the headache I had in the middle of the day.
*ugh*.
So definitely no exercising here.
And since my husband is on vacation hours --- yay for time together!! -- we have been having takeout, and other not SO great choices. And I have NOT been tracking everything. But I am okay with it.
I am not staying under my CURRENT calories, but I am staying under my BMR calories, so I am feeling okay.

mon - new day!
my hubby and i went to our favorite mexican restaurant today for lunch. i was very good and only had 1/2 of what i usually get. i got a box for the other half. i counted out my chips (16) and ate them with cheese dip. salsa would have been a better choice, but i love me some cheese dip.
for snack i ate a honey/peanut butter uncrustable and for dinner i am going to eat a strawberry jelly/peanut butter uncrustable.
calories today:
chips - 169
1/2 chicken fajita quesadilla (using another mex rest. that was in mfp) - 615
cheese dip - 138
honey uncrustable - 210
strawberry uncrustable - 210
total - 1342
rode exercise bike for 40 minutes, burned 425 cals.
mfp name is estes45. what is all of yours? how does it work with friends?

The Scale Diet ...
Oh I totally forgot to tell you about my other new plan ...its called a Scale Diet.
Now those of you who knows me well know that I am obsessed with the scale. I weigh myself waaay too many times during the course of a day. And I always say that it doesnt affect me, and it doesnt. But what I did notice is that when the scale shows a loss, I am more likely to be lax on myself.
So, as inspired by some other friends, I am going on a Lenten scale diet.
Ash Wednesday (March 9th) will be my last day with a scale -- and then my next weigh in will be April 24th!
I will be measuring weekly instead ...
This will allow me to focus on making good choices and getting exercise without focusing on that darn scale!
Anyone have any thoughts?
Mer: warm moist compresses applied to the face -- mucinex D or just plain robitussin will help. It just takes time.. I am still coughing and congested but energy wise I feel much more human than I did last week. I am certainly glad that I pushed P90X back farther, not even sure I would be up to it today even!
