GREAT NEWS!!

Last week's weigh in on Tuesday was 209 this week it's 204.8. It's crazy because my goal weight loss per week is 4.2 lbs. And I lost exactly 4.2 lbs.

I did it by controlling my food intake. I moved back on the Body Bugg and it is helping as long as I input my food. Another key tool in keeping me honest about what i'm putting in my body. Went back to eating Baby Spinach leaves; Tyson grilled chicken; Newman Light Cranberry Dressing and a sprinkle of sliced almonds. Mmmmm it is tasty. Then I have 1 kiwi fruit and about 1 cup of strawberries. Breakfast is my protein shake - Gold Standard Whey and Light Vanilla Soymilk. Then my breakfast snack was a Danon Activia Yogurt with a little extra granola, cup of coffee and water. Later today I will have my Sara Lee bread and 1 tbsp of reduced fat Jiffy Peanut Butter. Then tonight for dinner. More spinach, chicken and some fruit.

So my session with my Trainer went well today. I told him that I want to work on getting a butt. Damn, that is putting it out there. This is the new Artie. Put all out on the line.

Softball game last night was fantastic. We won! I did okay...i'm getting better but I need to practice more on my hitting and damn can I learn how to throw a ball. They called me butterfingers last night after one of my most ridiculous throws. It was sad...really sad. I wanted to crawl into a hole under a rock. And damn...these cleats are killing my quads while i'm out there. What is the deal? I'm busting my ass to get to first base and then I ran through the bases and realized I pulled my quad and then my ankle was bothering me a little more. A friend of mine likes to remind me that I'm no Spring Chicken. Well, if that's his way of telling me i'm old that is just WRONG!! Being OLD is a state of mind. Not my age! F'm i'm 35 and yes i'm training for my first half marathon.

Oh geez...so i have to get my miles in this week. Need to keep them up to 15+ miles per week. Last week results I ran 18.33 miles. DAMN!!! That is awesome. I didn't even know I ran that many last week. Need to keep it up to keep losing more poundage!!!

One last topic for the day. So sad about the Rockies and Jason Giambi. I know he is not the only player on this team but since I didn't know my boy was in Denver this season...I had to throw in some props. GO DODGERS!! What can I say, i'm a National League kind of girl.

TOOTLES....
