WI and Update

Well, it's been another intense week. Emotional, intense and exciting. I'm leaving Lethbridge this afternoon for good and making my way to the Greater Vancouver area. Unfortunatly my husband will be staying here for a few weeks to finish up work. The countdown begins until we are together again in the Vancouver area. Ah, change.

On a really positive note, I lost 2 more lbs this week! I am now at 167.5, a total loss so far of 21.5lbs in 9 weeks. Interesting to say the least because it has been another week with very little intentional exercise, no points tracking and so-so eating. I'm pleasantly suprised that I continue to loose each week without much effort. How come it never used to be this easy?

To those of you still struggling to see the sclae go down...you know who you are...I think your on the right track and it will only be a matter of time for you too. I'm sure of it! Keep it up.

I am more than excited to get a new gym membership and get back to an exercise routine. I'll also be purchasing a new bike next week. Really looking forward to the next chapter and loosing the next 20 lbs.

Have a great week everyone and I look forward to more regular blogging starting again next week.

WI and 10% reached!

Well I had another weigh in this morning. I've been good-ish this week. Not as much exercise as usual and I've had dinners out a couple times (including last night!) I was expecting a gain and had prepared myself for one. However, I did have a 1 pound loss. This is wonderful. Basically it proves 2 things. I have learned about portions and food choices enough to make the right decisions without having to track every bite. I NEED to up the exercise. It matters. Also, this petite loss takes me into the 160s and I have busted through my first 10% loss.

I am trying to get back to tracking completly. Moving is crazy and my computr is all the way in the basement and it's much more inconvienient to hang out on the computer. I can't wait to be back into a routine.

In other news. I move in 1 week! Ahh. Yay for finally getting to the coast, boo for having to be seperate from my husband and small cat for almost a month. Exciting though.

I'm going to Shred again this week to get the sweat factor back up. As my life style is getting gradually healthier I find I am moving more. This is good. But a walk no longer counts for intentional exercise. This is my mantra. Intentional Exercise. Intentional Exercise. Intentional Exercise.

I say good day.

I'M BA-ACK...cue creepy music

Hello everyone. It's been a while and I apologize. I have a good excuse though...well 2 really.

1) We were out of town 2 weekends ago (for my run with Julie...I'm sure you saw the pics on her blog!) When we returned, my Mom came down from Vancouver for the week to help us pack up our house and do some painting/mini reno projects before listing our place. I'm moving out to the Greater Vancouver Area on June 23 and my Husband will follow in a few weeks once he's done work. SO excited!

2) I've been having something weird going on with every blog template I try...it won't activate comment posts....strange. Anyways, I've reverted back to an oldie template that I know works for the time being.

Here's whats been going on.

Julie and I did our HSBC 5K run on May 31st. It was awesome. We did it in run walk increments (run 2 walk 1) and finished in about 38 minutes I think. It was a major success for me because last June I attempted one of these and wanted to die. I hated every moment of it. This time, I really liked most of it. I admit, Julie was yelling at me near the end when I could see the finish line and still wanted to stop and walk. But I did it and I was was really proud.

My WI on June 1st was amazing and I lost 3.5 lbs. Putting me at 170.5 (which is 0.4 away from my 10% goal)

Last week was RIDICULOUS. I did zero intentional exercise, but I was packing and working all week. Even though I ate like crap (included Tim's Breakfasts, Chinease Food, Another meal out) i still managed to maintain my weight. I was SOOO happy. I was sure I'd put on 5 lbs. Thank the lord.

I'm back to the grind now. Still finding it a little difficult to get back into a routine with my life all packed away, but workin on it.

ALSO I have been loosly following the Green Smoothie Cleanse from Meagan Telpner's Blog "Making Love in the Kitchen" I'm doing a Green Monster type smoothie for Breakfast and Dinner. Real lunch for now so I don't go crazy.

Oh yeah, I also tried one of those LARABARS that everyone talks about. I tried the one called "Cashew Cookie." It's only ingrediants were Cashews and Dates. Strange. Tasted really good though!
