There were lots of snuggles, soothing, and trying to comfort.
in this week.
But I know it's there! :)
My new FitBit!
My hubby surprised me with it last night!
I've been wanting one for a while and I finally get to play! :)
So far I have taken 2, 857 as of 11:30 tonight! :)
Nowhere near the 10,000 I'm supposed to have a day! Ha!
I now have the app on my iPhone that connects with it and it also connects with my MyFitnessPal App as well! This has made me want to track my calories again, and oh goodness did I go over today!
I'm being more mindful now and I will continue to lose!
I keep saying, let me just get through this weekend and I will be back on track with my running.
The thing is, after my first half, I ended up taking a couple of weeks off because my feet were killing me and my toenails were falling off. I don't have that luxury this time! I have another half on February 24th to prepare for!
I have already "scheduled" a walk in my head next Monday! I have to at least get out there and do some recovery walking.
Plus... I want to keep telling myself that I'm doing all of this running because I love it.
And I do.
But I'm also doing it to lose weight.
Once I saw how much I lost in 2012, I know I want to see a big difference for 2013 as well!
It felt great to start seeing a smaller Sarah.
And it felt even better to start feeling like a healthy Sarah! :)
I also failed on my Sandbag. I did it ONCE last week.
How do I expect to see results like that?
I "almost" did my plank everyday, but after Saturday's melt down, I didn't remember until after I was in bed, exhausted, with a toddler by my side who would scream every time I moved.
Have I eaten more veggies? Heck no!
I eat a few from Sophie's plate when I fix them for her, haha, but that is not even equal to a serving.
I don't even think I've been eating fruit this week either.
I had TWO sweet tea's last week. I've already had 2 this week and it's only Tuesday...
And as far as the going to bed earlier...Well I think you know what I'm going to say about that one...
So there you go. I succeeded in ONE of the 8 goals I can do weekly.
ONE...
It really does make me feel like a failure.
Next week is a new week though.
And well...
I am no longer THAT person who quits so easily.
So I will keep posting updates on my goals and make myself accountable for them.

You are doing great! It never crossed my mind to run when Ally was young, so you are already ahead of the game. We all have bad days, just know tomorrow is a new one!
ReplyDeleteThank you! My hubby told me this post was pretty depressing lol. And after I ran 4 miles yesterday, I already feel so much better! It's amazing how much a good run can do for your attitude! That's why I know I need them! :)
DeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteBe proud of the goal you did achieve. Yes I see you have high standards and expectations for yourself which is great, but I wonder how long you can keep that up? Life happens and this is a lifestyle change for you so you can not only lose the weight you want to lose, but KEEP IT OFF. I am so proud that you run and love it. I am proud that you are learning to eat healthier and better for yourself. For example, Sweet tea isn't bad, how about one sweet tea or half sweet and unsweet so you get used to less sweet. It'll take time but your pallate will get used to it and you will stop craving sugar. Use agave or honey instead of sugar in your recipes and as a sweetner. You like your tea so don't just STOP drinking it. The strategies in the book are so true. It's all about routine and starting your bedtime routine at the same time everyday and doing the same thing everytime. You are doing great and this blog is not depressing, it is genuine. Congrats on your 2nd half marathon and on your new PR. Good luck at Cowtown you will do great! My blog is runidarun.com I started it to keep up with my marathon training.
