Pictures

I went to Yoga on the hill  for the first time this season it was a beautiful hot summer day and I loved every minute of it.   There was over 1000 people who participated!    Here's a few pictures to share with my peeps :)

Before we started

nothing feels better then a back stretch
 
They will be offering free yoga every Wednesday at noon from May to August.  I am going to try to go as much as possible this summer. 
 
I went for my well deserved pedicure tonight :) 
 

It looks grey in this pic but it's more of a bluish colour



Have a great week!

WI Results

I am down 1.6 pounds this week.  It was a hard week I had so many cravings.  I tried to deal with them in a positive manner either by going to sleep, distracting myself by reading or having one sweet treat instead of 6!   It worked for the most part.   
 
Weekly Workouts
 
Tuesday- Jogging (31mins)
Thursday- Jogging (32mins) 
Sunday- Driving range (35mins)  
 
On Thursday I had a bad run.  I was suppose to warm-up for 5 minutes then run for 20 minutes straight!!  I knew I would feel great once  I finished but it just started off bad.  My music wasn't working properly which was very annoying then after 15 minutes of running I realized my Nike app was on pause so it didn't track the last twenty minutes.  I wanted to cry!!  I know it's not earth shattering but I really wanted to know my distance and pace so I stopped running and just walked home.  I know I should have kept on running but my heart wasn't in it :(   I am back on track today and went for a great run ! Next time if that happens again I have to push through and deal with it.  
 
 
Now that I am under 240 I can treat myself to a pedicure!!  I am going Wednesday.  I can't wait!!  
 
 
Have a great week everyone!! 
 
Is anyone on Weight Watchers?? If so,  do you eat your weekly points ?

Debbie downers

I had a great month in April and I am super proud of everything I accomplished but in the last couple of days I have been feeling annoyed with some people. Why is it so hard for people to be happy for one another. I was talking to a co-worker telling her about my running accomplishments. Instead of just listening or congratulating me on my success the comment that comes out of her mouth is "isn't it hard on your joints ?" This is the second time she has said this. I am assuming this is coming from a good place but really?? I told her it hasn't effect me at all.

Today I wrote on my Facebook that my challenge for the month is to run 50 km. I had a few likes and Positive comments saying they might join me with this challenge. That is the primary reason why
I post it on fb to see if anyone wants to join. But of course I get a comment that says, that is only 1.6 km a day. (Thanks for doing the math for me buddy!). He also wrote you should include weight training to your regime. It's very annoying when people assume things instead of asking ??! I do weights as well but he assumed I didn't. I realize I am not
150 pounds but that doesn't mean I haven't been working out since I was 16. I am not saying I am expert but I will say I have gained a lot of knowledge from all the sports and training classes i have taken over the years. From yoga, tae kwon do, volleyball, baseball, tennis, weight training, trying every aerobic class at my gym. This is not my first rodeo even if I am fat. Nutrition and emotional eating is my demon to face. I know these people are not trying to be hurtful and I know I am a sensitive person but it still bothers me lol

I have been having intense cravings for the last few days and I really don't want to undo all my success. Hence the reason I
Am Writing on my blog.

One day I will stop caring about what the Debbie downers say but I am not quite their yet.


How you ever expected this? And how did you deal with it in a healthy manner?
































Good Results

I thought last week was the end of the month oops.   I lost 1.8 this week for a total of 12.7 for the month of April!  :)   I lost 5% of my body weight.  Yeah me!  It wasn't easy.  I worked hard for it and it was nice to finally see results. 
 
 
 
 I really wanted to get a pedicure this week but I set up some mini goals for myself and I have to be under 240 lol.  So close!     I guess I will have to wait till next week to get my feet done. :)  
 
Monthly Challenges:   I ran 14 out of the 16 runs I was suppose to do.  I am still giving myself an A for all the will power it took to run in the first place!! 
 
My other challenge was to take a multi-vitamin everyday.  I give myself a C+.  Although I took one,  most days I wasn't  as consistent as I should have been.  
 
I'm still deciding on what my challenge will be for the month of May.  I might try a running challenge again.  I will let you know by tomorrow.     
 
 
How is your week going???  Have you tried any new exercises lately?
