SCC WK 7

Hard to believe it is already week 7 into 2012. Time really does fly by and I think it’s just going to keep on going fast.

I did better last week than I did the week before in regards to exercising. And this week I am going to do that much better. I found this iApp called BeatBurn Treadmill/Outdoor and it helped me with some treadmill work this weekend. I did 60minutes on Saturday so that I could do a 5K and I used Day 1 on this app, and just set it to 60 minutes. It had me walking pretty slow for some of the recovery minutes but that’s OK. Just took me a bit longer to complete the 5K.

Sunday I did a 45 minute session. Again, it does a lot of intervals and what I like about it is that it changes the music to the pace. Keeps you walking at the beat the music. I’m pretty sure the music will get boring after  awhile but I do have the option of adding my own. Just not sure how to do that just yet.

It is an app that makes interval training mindless….

For week 7, my goals are:

1. Up the exercising. I lost the weight a couple of years ago mostly from exercising and eating healthy (duh) but I was also drinking throughout that stint. If I would just increase the exercise now, then I think I would get healthy a heck of a lot faster. Stuff not in my favor this time around is menopause and hurting my back. But those can be beat! 
2. Ummm.. not sure what do focus on this week other than exercising. Eating isn’t an issue because I’m on Jenny Craig and all my meals are set out for me.

Well I guess there is one thing….

I’ve gotten into a bad habit of having one moccachino in the morning at work. We have this fancy dancy coffee machine and it makes a lot of different types of coffee. Not like a Kerig et all but a machine that has it all built in. Anyway, I never used to drink coffee until I tried this moccachino thing. Yes, it isn’t really coffee as it tastes like chocolate coffee… but dang it is good.

It is 168 calories for a large one and I’ve factored it in with my breakfast calories and by the end of the day I am still around 1200. But really… I should stop drinking it every single day. Maybe make it my Friday special thing… Kind of like I am going to do if and when I start drinking again.

Speaking of which… I was going to have a beer this weekend. Was going to have a “social” beer with Mr. Sandra on Saturday night. We had talked about it and when Saturday night came along – I didn’t want to break my 66 days. So he had a beer and I had a virgin Caesar. Too much salt but I don’t care… 45 days in folks and I’m proud of myself.

Just thought of an addendum to the exercising goal – I am going to try to get in a 20-30 minute walk at lunch. It is supposed be fairly nice this week and I really do need a break during the day. Getting outside and getting in a walk would really do me some good.

I’m down 12lbs in 6 weeks. That’s and average of 2lbs a week. Although I really want to see big numbers, I am also realistic and know that 2lbs a week is a really healthy weight loss and 12lbs is really good.

I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Day!!
