Still here! Week Three recap - I'm actually enjoying running. When I stopped making it optional and just got off my butt to do it everyday it became a lot less of a chore. I have a lot more energy and I just overall feel better. Eating is great on the week, not so hot on the weekends. I'm still losing weight.. just slowly. I'm okay with that though.

First week was tough being Spring Break and all. Kids were home, schedule was off, my eating was all out of whack. I did get 6 days of cardio in. I'll call that a win!

I got no where near my weight loss goal

March 25 Ate on track, no exercise. Apparently I've decided to leave my three days of structured exercise to the very end of the week. Motivation was lacking today

Would have loved to have been able to rent a bike, but I was there as a chaperone for my daughters 5th grade trip to the Driftwood Education Center. We ended up with our days planned out for us from pre-dawn till lights out at 10pm. Eating was horrible, structured exercise was non-existent. I kept my portions low, but as all the food was prepared for us my selection was limited and so I was way off my typical plan. Did enjoy a nice four mile walk around Cumberland Island though on one of our days, that was a very fun adventure. Back on track tomorrow, weigh in on Friday. We'll see then how much this little detour will have set me back.

Realized that today is still part of the third week so I got my third set of exercise in.. yay! Headed off to St Simons Island for the next three days, buffet style food provided three times a day. I've got my will power and exercise clothes packed. We'll see if I use one or both or neither.. eep! March 21 Eating: On plan - Ate at Evo's today based on Charles' recommendation. Had never heard of this place before and it is relatively close. It was really yummy! Had a salad with chicken that was really good. My husband and daughter tried the steakburger and the hot dog and liked them (the hot dog more than the burger) and my son was crazy about the chicken. The shakes and fries were also a hit. Thanks for the shout out on this place, definitely some place we'll go to again. Exercise: Did two sets of 15 reps of the following: Standing Low Back Extension - 50lbs resistance Seated Lat Rows - 50lbs resistance Bicep Curls 10lb dumbbells Tricep Pushdown - 25lbs resistance Seated Abdominal Crunch - 35lbs resistance Crossover Rear Deltoid Rows - 30lbs resistance Bench Press - 50lbs resistance Lunges - 5lb dumbbell in each hand

March 20 Ate on plan. Didn't get any exercise in though. I'm pretty sure that leaves me short for this week.

March 19 Eating on track, no exercise today. Weighed in today at 1.5lbs down from Tuesday.. so nice to see the number moving again!

I realized as I was going to bed last night that it was Wednesday. That was a planned exercise day So I made up for it today instead. Will probably do Saturday now instead of Friday though. Then the intent would be to get back on the MWF schedule. However, my daughter's 3-day fifth grade trip is the beginning of next week and I'm a chaperone. I'm going to try to get in some of the basics.. sit ups, pushups, jumping jacks can be done anywhere... but the eating plan is going to prove to be difficult I'm sure. They do dining room style meals. Full buffet style setup for all three meals. Just gotta make sure I'm choosing healthier options and watching my portion sizes. March 18 - Eating on Plan Exercise same as bowflex routine up above
