I wanted to post about the 2.5 miles I ran on Sunday. It was a huge accomplishment for me on a few levels.
I have not really gone for a run in a while. After the Track Workout last week, I had been thinking that I needed to start running again. The mud run is a LOT about the obstacles, but the more comfortable you are with the running in between, the better off you are.
I will start out by saying I did not leave my house with intention of running, so to speak. I went out for a walk, which, in the back of my mind I knew meant at LEAST a walk/run. After warming up my very sore hamstrings, I started jogging. I actually felt GOOD. I mean, not even really out of breath for a little bit. Until I started hitting all the hills.
I live in a condo and all around us are hills. I mean, you can't go 1/4 mile without some kind of hill. Once I started up the hills, I had to start talking to myself.
"Come on, you can make it up this one. Then, if you have to, you can walk for a minute"
Then I would make it up the hill, and I would say
"Well, now this is better, it's going down hill a little. Might as well run this"
So on and so forth.
I ran further than I intended. I started looking at the hills as a challenge that I knew I could face. I got to my turn around point. Tired. Fully expecting that I would walk up these 2 massive hills that I just took so much joy in running DOWN.
But I didn't. I started running back up. I just kept running. I ran all the way up to the top of those hills. I gave those hills a mental middle finger. Can't beat me, bitches.
The only times I walked was when I feared for my safety on these winding hills with no sidewalks. I have to run in the street, and sometimes I thought cars coming didn't see me, or just didn't care I was there! (It was getting dark on my way back, so I was trying to be extra careful)
I got about 4 blocks from my home, and I was walking for a little cool down. I was on one of the small sections of flat ground we have around us and I decided to sprint from where I was up my driveway. Sprint for me is probably normal running for others, but dammit, it was a SPRINT for me.
Invigorating. Exhausting.
I couldn't wait to collapse at home. The whole day we were moving my in-laws, who didn't believe that my husband and I could carry their old, HEAVY couch and loveseat out the door. But we did. And lifted it up to get it in the dumpster. Then I showed off my guns. Don't TELL me I can't do something. Just WATCH.
Eats for today:
1 scoop click, 1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
B: Pumpkin oatmeal
L: 4 oz ground turkey, seasoned, 100 gr sweet potato, 2 oz cabot 75% red fat cheese
S: banana, 2 tbs peanut butter
D: Lrg salad. 3 cups chopped salad greens and peppers. 10 green olives, banana peppers, 1/4 cup chick peas, 2 tbs less oil good seasons dressing
This will round out my day with 1273 calories. If I am starving later after my workout, I will eat something. I want to keep my calories under control and my macros in check, but I will eat a little over if I am starving after my workout - macro appropriate, of course.
So, my friends, what HILLS have you conquered lately?
PROGRESS!

Soggy post - a little long!
I was going to write this weekend. But I did NOT have a a good Friday night.
I ate things I should not eat. In amounts I should not eat them in.
It is what it is. I made the decision to do it. I take responsibility.
Boy, was I paying for it BIG time the next day. My body was in NO WAY happy about the junk I put in there. Woh. I have never experienced such a violent revolution.... DAMN.
But, I deserved it.
My husband came along for the crappy eating journey and at one point he said
"Oh my God. We used to eat like this ALL the time. And we used to eat a LOT more. How did we do it?"
And it's true. We used to eat TONS more than we did on this one not-so-hot evening. It's hard to remember...
Saturday and Sunday were back in action (Inner-fat-girl was kicking and screaming for more). Tuff Girl Workout on Saturday morning to sweat out some of my indiscretions (if only in my head - weight loss is 80% diet, people! Can't "undo" food-anything with even the best workout!) and a 2.5 mile run last night after packing up and moving my in-laws ALL DAY yesterday.
I got on the scale Sunday morning. I knew it would be the absolute worst time post binge-o-rama. I needed to see that bad number to remind me how easy it is to go back.
And it is waaayyyyy too easy for that weight to pile back on.
It's looking like I am going to have to stop my Tuff Girl workouts. I was just gifted 6 workouts from a woman who moved out of state and had a few workouts left. It was an AMAZING gift, and one I appreciated beyond measure. So, I have 5 of those workouts left. After that, I will be unable to purchase any more. Money is so incredibly tight, especially since I stopped the second job. I'm trying to stretch each dollar. The only reason I was able to purchase the last set of 10 workouts was because I got paid for my little teaching job I did over the Spring semester. That check (albeit VERY SMALL for an entire semester of work!) was just enough to get me my 10 class punch card... there is nothing else coming in. That's it.
I can't tell you how much I am going to miss going there. SO much of my motivation, encouragement and strength is filtered through that studio, my trainer, and the people I workout with.
Yes, I will workout at home. I can go to the gym. I can, and will figure it out. But it has become a huge part of my life. There will be a huge void.
Money is a big source of suck-age right now. Hubby and I kept thinking that in the fall, things would get so much better, because Thing 1 would be moving into Kindergarten and we would only be paying daycare for Thing 2. But, because of certain circumstances, the finances won't really change at all. As a matter of fact, they are going to get worse. It's a very complicated issue to explain. And really, just this weekend I figured it out myself. Talk about a bubble bursting. There were tears, I'll be honest. That may or may not have been a contributing factor to Friday evenings craptastic events. (Perhaps the funeral I attended on Friday was a factor as well), but these things are neither here nor there.
I promised you a link to a project, but it's still not done. I'll give you an idea. I have set up a page on a popular donation/fundraising site. I am fundraising to have my excess skin surgery. I have an appointment on Sept. 6 with a surgeon who specializes in skin removal after massive weight loss. I'm excited to meet with her and see what she can do for me. She is also, apparently, very good at working with insurance companies to get the tummy tucks covered. Remember, this is not a normal tummy tuck. This is a tummy tuck after 170 + pounds of fat loss. This is not a little spare skin hanging over the top of my jeans. This is needing to buy jeans a size larger to fit the excess skin inside. Insurance CAN cover this, if you fight it enough. However, they will not cover the skin removal from my arms, and they, when all is said and done, may NOT cover my tummy. That's where this website comes in.
It's not ready yet because I want to include some video of my workouts with Tuff Girl and a personal video where everyone will be able to see me, hear my story, and actually see the offending skin. I really want this on the site before I will launch the site live.
But I must confess - now that we are having day-to-day monitary issues, I don't know how I feel about launching it at all. My goals was to have the surgery in October, but issues with my time off of work (as in, I wouldn't have enough saved) bumped it to January. Now? Who knows. Maybe it's too selfish to do it... I don't know.
Ok, I know this whole post is a little soggy. Sorry about that. I'm here, I'm listening to you all. I'm soldiering on. How about you??

The beauty in thunderstorms
Well, I did it. I went to the track workout last night. I was seriously near vomiting - and that was BEFORE I started and was because I was SO NERVOUS.
WHY was I nervous? Remember I was a fat kid, so I still have those last-one-around-the-track, getting-laughed-at (nightmares) memories floating around in my head. I probably weigh less now than I did at the end of elementary school.
Ok, it probably wasn't THAT bad, but you get the idea.
So, the track workout was intense. It started with some jogging to warm up, and stretching. Then, 5 minutes of bleacher sprints. 10 pushups. partner band runouts. 10 pushups. Then we ran the track twice - running on the curves, sprinting and skipping on the lengths. 10 pushups. 5 minutes of bleacher sprints. 10 pushups.
I came in dead. last. on the track runs. This was the worry. But in the end, who freaking cares? I still did it. I did every freaking skippy-sprinty second of it. I was practically heaving after the 2nd set of bleacher sprints.
AND I KICKED ASS. End of story.
The moral: All fear does is get in your way. Don't let it. Be a Champion.
Food. Going well. I bumped up my calories on intense workout days. Only by about 100 calories, which is like one small extra snack. I really think it's needed on these days.
Eats for today:
1 scoop Click, 1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened), water, ice - awesome caffeine boost. I'm simply not worried about this part of my day anymore. Just freaking do it.
B: 1.5 servings red pepper spinach quiche
S: 1 oz cabot 75% red fat cheese
L: 1.25 cups sweet potato black bean chili
S: banana
D: 4 oz buffalo shredded chicken over large veggie salad
S: ? apple likely
Weigh in will be Saturday. I have no expectations. I was sick, and although my food was right on, my exercise suffered for a few days. I also had a big loss last week. No expectations. Just keeping on the straight and narrow.
We are slated to have some severe weather here late this afternoon into the night. Thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes, the whole 9. I'm hoping it's not as bad as they say, but I wouldn't mind a good thunder storm. Thunderstorms can be scary for some, but I find them fascinating. When you give up the fear, you can see the beauty. :-)

Recovery and FEAR
I am feeling so much better than this morning! I am seriously praying that was just a little bug that is finally out of my system.
I felt so much better, I got in a little workout. I HAD to get my sweat on! I was resting so much this morning, that I felt like a slug. As soon as I realized I wasn't running to the bathroom after dinner (salad, if you are interested), I decided to give it a try. Success!
Tomorrow is another Tuff Girl workout. It's not, however, a normal Tuff Girl workout. We are meeting at the local High school and we are doing a running/stairs/insanity workout.
I almost opted out of the class.
I don't know why this workout has me so scared. No, not true, I know why. I am scared I am going to trip on the stairs. That I won't be able to run them. That I'm going to be too weak to get it done the way it needs to be done. I am afraid.
But that's exactly why I need to go do it.
You don't get anywhere by allowing fear to stop you from doing something. You don't grow or learn or succeed if you let fear dictate your life.
If I let fear dictate me, I would still be 365 lbs. Probably bigger. I was afraid of surgery. I was afraid of not eating for comfort anymore. I was afraid of it all. I was afraid when I first walked into Bodyology. I was afraid when I saw the weights, and TRX, and Rouge boxes. But I just didn't let it stop me from going for it.
You just can't let it stop you.
So, tomorrow, probably shaking in my shoes, I will go to the track. I will give it everything I have, plus a lkttle more, and in the end, that's all I can ask of myself. That's all anyone can ask of themselves.
So, what are you afraid of?
Now, what are you going to do about it?

Ugh, and ugh...
Hey peeps... A little check in. Home from work today with a stomach bug, or something. My stomach hasn't been right since late last week, and I thought it was getting better, but today it's been terrible. Work was NOT happening. I barely got the kids to school and got back home again... Ugh.
Anyway, I'm here. My exercise has been suffering the past 2 days because putting any pressure on my belly, whether it's moving rapidly for cardio, or using my abs for stability in strength training, it wrecks havoc on my stomach. On top of which, although I have been very diligent about keeping hydrated, I am exhausted.
Been watching my diet very carefully. Yes, still eating some, which is good. Getting in protein and fludids. I couldn't ask for much more. Except, well, to stay out of the bathroom for longer than 20 minutes at a time. *sigh*
On top of being home today from work, I need to leave work early on Thursday for a fundraiser I committed to weeks ago, AND we found out on Sunday a very close member of our church passed away. Her services are Friday and we HAVE to be there.
If I still have a job at the end of this week, it may be a miracle.
ok, I gotta run (no pun intended)

No room for screwin' around
As I am *GRATEFULLY* losing more weight, and I update my Livestrong tracker, I see my calorie allotment slowly getting lower. Of course. You need to lower your calories to maintain a steady loss. As you get smaller, you need fewer calories to function; therefore you need even LESS to keep losing!
Yea, math!
Yet the mental side of that is not something to take lightly. I get into a very comfortable groove. I plan my food for the day ahead, and I know I can have X number of calories here and there, and have some at the end of the day for a piece of fruit, or a little PB... With my large drop (YEA BABY), that has changed. I don't have any "leftover" calories to munch at the end of the day. I have JUST. ENOUGH. to get me through the day with my 3 nutritious meals and a about 200 cals total for snacks during the day.
Livestrong gives me 1239 calories a day now. I don't want to be one of those fattys who says "That's not enough! I'm going into STARVATION MODE"... but my inner-fat-girl starts to tell me that's not enough calories. I think inner-fat-girl is just afraid and she is trying to infect my brain with her hype and her fear.
Regardless, the facts are the same. There is NO ROOM for screwin' around with a calorie allotment of 1239. No. Room.
Eats for today:
1 scoop Click, 1/2 cup almond milk, water
B: Oxygen mag pumpkin oatmeal. (seriously, I could eat it everyday)
L: Zucchini lasagna (ditto)
S: banana
D: Salad with some l.f. cheese, black beans, olives, lots of veggies, a little dressing
This is my outline for the day. I will have a room for 2 more snacks. I would like to TRY and save those calories for this evening, so if I am hungrier at dinner, I can bulk up my salad, but we will see how it goes.
The best way to fill up on little calories is a lot of veggies and very lean proteins (fish is great). As my calories get lower, the switches will be made even more than they are now.
I will tell you one thing though. I'm not going to be hungry. I will swap where I need to swap, but I will NOT starve. If I'm hungry, you better know I am going to EAT. :-)

Too fast?? Nahhh....
Saturday evening and I'm totally wiped out. I love the weekend and hate the weekend all at the same time. Saturdays are so busy and regularly results in multiple meltdowns from Thing 2. Par for the course with a 2 year old, of course, but it can be tough.
It's a little before 8 and that means Thing 2 will also be in bed soon. Then the REAL vegging out begins. *ahhhh*. can't wait.
This morning started with a weigh-in............ 193
Can I get a woop-woop????
I went off to my Yuff Girl workout and kicked it's sweaty ass. Rope climbs, pull ups, dead lifts... More and more. My arms are gonna kill in the AM, and I'm going to love every achy second.
Today's eats:
1/2 click shake on the way to workout... I know, I know... But a little caffeine in the AM is super helpful to get me going. Especially going to a workout. I don't like to eat before I go.
B: Baked pumpkin oatmeal with 2 tbs natural pb. So freaking good, and nice and filling after my workout.
L: big salad, lots of chopped veggies, 2 tbs home made dressing, 2 Oz Cabot reduced fat cheese.
S: 1/2 kids size sugar free italian ice... Meh. Tasted so fake, I throw the rest out.
D: awesome Mahi Mahi (4oz) with a delicious tomato pepper and olive relish my hubby made, and 1/2 sweet potato with 1 tbs plain Greek yogurt. It was really good.
I have a little over 200 cals left, so I'm deciding how to spend it wisely. Fruit smoothie? Hmmm... That might happen!
I got asked at the gym today if I was "losing too fast". I was like, really? It's taken me 4 freaking years to get here. She was speaking specifically about lately. I told her no. My body was just doing what it was supposed to do when I'm feeding it 1250 cals a day of good, clean food and exercising my tail off.
Thats all I have for tonight, my friends. Soldier on!
