Busy Bodies & Breadsticks

Yesterday was Drama Queens Graduation from Pre-K, she did such a great job and delivered her line perfectly "B is for busy bodies at work or at play" ya totally fits her Ms. Busybody lol.

Drama Queen and Mommy  (is it me or do we look like oomph loompas) 

                               

So afterwards her dinner of choice was steak, yes that girl is just like her father.  We headed down to our favorite place and I had already figured out what I was gonna have prepared girl that I am (BBQ chicken and grilled veggies) look at me aren't I a rockstar...ya until that basket of breadsticks hit the table.

BREADSTICKS ARE EVIL!!!

I swear I must have ate my weight in breadsticks...ugg and to top it off I felt like total crap afterward, not just guilty like, but literally my stomach hurt all the way home and I felt like I was gonna hurl any minute I didn't but not sure if that was a good or bad thing. So now I am totally kicking myself and feeling like a total loser since the scale was up like 3 pounds Yes I know salty food and bloat not to mention PMS is rearing her ugly head...blah, let's hope today will be better.  

Weigh-In Wednesday #9

Today's weigh -in was 207.6 down -1.2lbs from last week whoop whoop!

Wow it's been 9 weeks already an I've lost a total of 14.2 pounds not bad, nope not bad at all.

In other awesomness I went to Target yesterday to pick up a gift for a birthday party DQ and I are going to this weekend and I walked around a bit "just looking" cause, really who goes to Target for just ONE thing, not this girl.  Anyway I totally scored check it out

 Some new running/workout shirts in just my size, it was fate I tell ya.  so of course I picked up the two they had and was even super happy about the colors especially the pink one.

$6.98 what a great deal

Then to make a great day even better I found my favorite bra (every girl has a favorite bra am I right?) on  the next clearance rack over for $11.99 the only thing was it was a 38 (I'm normally a 40-42) but I decided to get it anyway, with the pounds finally coming off I figured I would eventually get into it.  Just to see I tried it on when I got home and HOLY CRAP it fits now. Which is fantastic cause my other one is getting pretty ratty (hey don't judge I love that fricken bra it makes the "girls" look like they are not making a bee line for my knees a million bucks).

26.2

Yup I too am doing Run with Jess's  Lose a Marathon.  I figured it would give me a little more focus and I won't back slide.  I have actually learned something about myself and losing weight over the years, I don't fall off the wagon when things go wrong (when that happens I just suck it up and try even harder). But I take a flying leap fall off that wagon when things are actually going good, (freakin weird I know) but I think what happens is when I start losing the weight I say to myself "Oh I can have that cookie I lost 2 pounds this week" or "Hey I just ran 2 miles I can have that second helping of pasta."   So I hope think this will keep me buckled in that wagon nice and tight :)

On that note I will be adding a new page up there on top dedicated to Losing a Marathon and of course I will throw in a post  here and there about it to :)  So the first mini-challenge was to write out a detailed plan on how you are going to achive your Lose a Marathon goal, take measurements and pics.

So quickly here is my plan:

 * Keep counting my calories using my LoseIt! app ALL THE TIME

*Start Hal Higdon's Novice 10k Training Plan.
 I really like this plan it pretty much makes me do some  kind of activity each day with one rest day on Friday. (I'll post a more detailed plan on the tab up there)

*and I WILL NOT reward myself with FOOD (I'm not a dog lol)

Well that pretty much sums it up.  Oh wait I will be weighing in on Mondays with Jess, but I will also be keeping my "normal" Wednesday weigh-ins here. I figure that will help me stay focused over the weekend and well into the week,  and y'all know my love affair addiction to my scale so this will make me use his powers for good and not evil.  Good Luck to all you fellow Marathon Losers out there!!!

What are your plans?
