It's a good thing Easter is on Sunday...

I am SO glad the holiday weekend is over. I did NOT diet. I did NOT over eat, but I did have what I wanted (some jelly beans, chocolate, cookies, ham...) and now we are DONE. I have 5 days to make it right and hopefully eek out a loss for the week. We have 3 weigh ins to go !

In addition to the end of BigLoser, I have my birthday coming up. I desparately want to weigh 175. It is HUGE mental issue with me, but for the last 10+ years I have started a diet at the New Year with the intention of losing enough weight to reach the 175 mark by my April birthday. Obviously, that has not happened. However, this year I am 5 lbs and 2 weeks away from my goal (versus 20 or 30 pounds) SO it is possible; and I REALLY WANT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN...

I don't want to write this post and then go eat through the day. I am going to be as dilligent as possible --- journalling and sticking to my exercise schedule. This a POSSIBLE GOAL... I will not sabotage my efforts!

Workouts this week: Today - SWIM!! Tuesday - 5:30 am Spin class, Wednesday - RUN (LSD), Thursday - 5:30 Spin class, Friday - Run (tempo), Saturday - Intervals (and maybe a bike ride?). The weather is supposed to improve by the end of the week, so I may opt to ride with my friends Friday morning instead of (or maybe in addition to) running. We'll see how it all shapes up. I am feeling really good about my fitness level and think I'll be in fine shape by June 15th.

Off to the gym!
