Unpleasant weigh in

It said 213.8 pounds this morning.  I guess I ate more snacks at the party yesterday than I thought.  I also woke up this morning with a terrible cough, a stuffed up nose, and watery eyes.  Super.

Food for today

I had pancakes and bacon with milk and orange juice for breakfast.  For a snack I had pistachios and a coke.  I had various snacks at the super bowl party including chips and queso and crackers and crab dip.  I also had about 1.5 beers.  Not healthy food, but not a ton of food either.  Tomorrow I'd like to eat healthier.

Weigh In Day

212.6 pounds.  I didn't lose the 2 pounds I was going for.  So, daily weigh ins and reporting my food intake on here.  That should be interesting with the Super Bowl party today with fabulous food.

Catch up

I forgot to write about my workout on Wednesday.  I did it in the morning and I completed the whole thing.  It was really rough, but I finished.  Today I did workout 3 of week 4.  I changed up the speed work to start out for the first 3 minutes and I ran at 6mph for the last minute of the workout.  I think I'm just going to focus on running for an extended time at 5mph from now on instead of also trying to increase my speed.  I need to be able to run 3.1 miles for the 5K on March 24th.  I'm on schedule to do that, but running faster for longer at the beginning of every workout is going to start interferring with my couch to 5K progress.
I was feeling really confident in my progress this week because I've kept up the running and I was banking a lot of steps (I use the bodybugg to track calories and steps).  But, I worked long, stationary hours on Thursday and Friday and I got on the scale this morning and it was bad.  Tomorrow is the official weigh in.  If I didn't lose the two pounds I set out to lose this week, then I'll start tracking all of my food on here for the next week and I'll be weighing in every day.

Done

I completed my workout for today.  It was really tough, but I completed it!

Update

Friday I had a great workout.  I repeated Wednesday's workout.  So I completed week 3 workout 2.  Today I'm going to do week 4 workout 1.  And, I'm going to start with 3 minutes and 30 seconds at 6mph.  My weigh in yesterday was ok.  I came in at 212.4 pounds.  So, this week I need to lose two more in order to get back on track with 1 pound per week. 
I also just took my measurements.  My waist is 41 inches and my hips are 49 inches.  That is pretty bad.  But, I'm going to work on it.  My goal is to have my waist at 32 inches or less and my hips at less than 40 inches.  Off take care of a few things and then do my run!

Working out

Yesterday I tried to do strength training in the morning.  I still was feeling a little sick though so I only completed part of it.  I was using The Biggest Loser video game for Wii.  I've used it before and like it quite a bit.
Today I completed week 3 workout 1 of C25K!  I'm pretty proud of myself.  Especially since I ran at 6mph for 3 minutes to start it off.  It is amazing how relaxed 5mph feels after 3 minutes of 6mph!  I haven't been completing every workout from each week because I've gotten to the point with the first two weeks that I feel a little comfortable with my abilities.  And, I want to have pad in my training plan so if I need to repeat the harder workouts, I can.  I have a feeling I'll be completing all of week 3!
