I hate snow! Have I ever mentioned that?? I hate it even more now that I'm a runner.
Woke up this morning to do my Body Revolution with Jillian workout before the hubby got up for us to go on our run. Checked FB as I always do to wake myself up, and someone had posted a picture of snow.
Picture me whipping off the covers and running to the window in our room. "Son of a bitch!" Yep, then I went back to bed and wanted to cry.
As I layed there for a few minutes I contemplated waking the hubby up and asking if he wanted to bail. Then I looked out the window in the bathroom and realized it was only like 1/2 an inch. Effff this!! We can do it!
Cue in the hubby coming downstairs as I'm huffing and puffing through the last 5 minutes of my workout. Look at him and as "We going to do this?" he says "Hells yeah!"
So we started Week two of C25K. In the snow!!! Yup!! We kicked some butt!!
On another note, my husband runs a lot faster than I do, even though he is NOT A RUNNER, so I find myself huffing and puffing a little more than I should.
Hmmmmmmmmmm......
Sub-30 5K here I come!! :)
Happy Friday all!!! Enjoy your weekend!
Life is a series of up, downs, twists, turns, and loop-de-loops. This is how the Spencer Family deals with it.

Blog Makeover
For my 6 followers (really want more!) you will notice I have given my blog a makeover!
I merged my blog I had started writing a long time ago and kind of left in the dust to add to this one. I was tired of staring at two and only writing one. I also want to write about more in life in general and not make it whiny I'm not losing weight blog.
I'm excited, because to me is like a journal for everyone to read. I have many things that run through my head all the time, keeping me up at night, and I need a way to release that.
I read so many other blogs and it's interesting to see how other people live and how they do things. I don't imagine to become popular but I would love to connect with others. Heck when I started this I found an old friend, Evelyn, and we have been blog/facebook talking for a couple of years now! We even met at a race and finally got to see each other again.
I hope to meet and maybe inspire others like, fatchicktofitchick, Mama Laughlin, and skinnymeg.
Enjoy and leave me some love!

Wednesday Weigh In: My Hubby is the Best
Weight this morning: 217.4
Looks like I lost that weight from the prior week.
Thank goodness because I was feeling about my minor Super Bowl Pig out and the Chick Fil-A I had on Monday.
I confess that my hubby wanted Chick Fil-A, and I could have been good, but the spicy chicken sandwich is the only thing I can stand. But...I only ate a few fries instead of a whole order!
I think that some of my motivation is coming back because I started running again!
Yes that's right the single digit temperatures are gone, most of the snow has disappeared and so I have been able to BE FREE!!
The best part???? The hubby started running with me!!!! Eeeeeeep!!!! It makes running so awesome!!
I told him I would be with him every step of the way so we are doing the Couch-to-5k running program. Dan likes it because it has a zombie app included. We just finished Week 1 this morning and other than having a head cold which makes it hard to breathe, he actually likes it.
We aren't completing the program because the St Patty's Day 5K is in 6 weeks and the program is 9 weeks. Hope I don't kill him to bad!!
Weigh-in military style this weekend. I just hope I show some improvement from last month. Not sure, because I haven't done measurements.
We will see.....

Wednesday Weigh-in: Hanging my Head in Shame
219.2 this morning.
That is actually better than my 221.6 from Monday.
I went on a mini vacation this weekend to a winter festival in our area.
I actually did not eat as much as I though I would because I wound up making most of the meals. But I snacked a lot more than I usually do and drank a few cocktails. I also didn't drink nearly as much water as I usually do.
The caveat to all of this, is that I walked all over the place on Saturday and Sunday lugging around a toddler, so I'm not sure what is going on with my body.
To much yo-yoing is my problem. I eat fine Sunday evening through Friday evening and then it's all downhill from there. I even work out all of those days too.
Urrrrggggg.....I hate this so much. Most of the time I feel so along with this struggle, because my family brings so much junk in the house and eat it. I thought I had everyone on board with keeping the crap out of the house, but there it sits taunting me.
I read all of these weight loss journeys from other people who are doing so awesome, but it seems that they have people supporting them, which may make it easier.
I started this blog to hope to connect with other people like me and I feel like I'm just writing this for my own venting (which may not be horrid).
I still seriously miss running, and I feel that it would pull me out of this rut. Stupid snow won't go away soon enough.

Wednesday Weigh in 0430 Edition
Ok so I didn't really write this at 0430, but that's what time I got up and weighed myself. School started this week so in order to get my workout in, work, go to school, and spend time with the lil dude I have to get up at the ungodly hour at least 3 days a week. Eeeeeep!!
217.6
I'm going back in the right direction. Even with my McDonalds/Pork Chops/Potato Pancakes Faturday.
I recently started using myfitnesspal, to keep track of what I was eating. It's amazing what a few numbers will do to curb you from eating certain things and going over your budget. Or realizing my Faturday's are way to fattening. Good thing I found out my Whipped Cream vodka isn't so bad when mixed with Diet Coke!
Today was a good round off of workouts. 20 minute elliptical, 10 Stair Stepper, and 15 minute stationary bike. My goal was 20 of each, but my time was not planned well for making it to work on time.
Jillian is still kicking my butt 4 days a week, and I love it. I think this current phase I'm on I will probably add a week, because its hard and I still 'cheat' by doing the modified version. So I'm hoping another week with the actual version of the exercises will work better. It's only going to get harder.
