Post Easter Bunny Weigh-in--did you empty your basket?
Good Monday morning! It's time to weigh-in and see if the Easter bunny did any damage. By all rights he did at my house (or rather, my sister's house)--I ate like a pig yesterday, including jelly beans and chocolate! Naughty me. I seem to have dodged the bullet on the scale so far, tho.
Starting weight: 298.4 lbs
Last week: 141.6 lbs
This week: 138.4
Loss of 3.2 lbs.
Running for 10.2 miles on Saturday may have helped.
We did 7 miles in the cold rain until we got tired of being soaked to the skin and the rain blowing into our eyes. Then we waited out the weather and finished the remaining 3+ miles when the sun came out. Next time I'll wear my hat with the brim.
Paul: hope you had a nice Easter with the family. Best running mileage of any week yet--I did 31.4 miles running last week, with another 3.6 on the elliptical. Better get on that bike!!
Two weeks to our 5K walk or run--we have quite a good team, but more are welcome! We are doing the Challenge Obesity 5K Run or Walk at Como Lake on Saturday, April 21st. You can sign up as part of our "Formerly Fat Friends" team--use password "coffee." The link is below--it will be lots of fun!

Yep, I am way behind on mileage. I got to quit working on projects and get outside. I was at my daughters and seenmed to spend all day on it. However, I probably walked almost two miles just at Menards......I did get 2 miles of waliking in every day ( I have upped my treadmill walk time up 50% from 30 minutes to 45 . I had a wonderful 8.5 mile bike ride on Sunday which was very windy. With the warmer weather I am sure I will be able to up my game.
On the plus side, I really pushed the liquids this week. I found a way to make "sun tea" in the micowave. however I paid the price when I downed a full liter after midnight. The liquids made me get up every two hours and the caffine kept me from falling back asleep.....
On the way home I listened to four podcast episodes of "Cutting the Fat." Excellent information
Last month I was able to stop the regain. This month i am much more on track and plan to be mindful. Still a challenge, but worth it.
Easter Sunday, they served lasagna. I ate a chicken breast stuffed with cheeze and asparagus.
Thank you for setting goals for me It is helping me get out everyday. I will be working my treadmill time up more this week so I will be ready gor the 5k on the 21st!!
I am down 3 pounds this week!

Woot, good for you Paul! You are on the right track! Should be nicer this week for getting out-- a little cool, but sunny.
Our 5K is gonna be a blast. We'll have to plan when and where to meet up--maybe coffee group should just meet at Como that week. Those not walking or running can be our cheerleaders! There's coffee at Black Bear Crossing

Oh yes, the bunny was here and has left candy everywhere! The chocolate will have to be out of here today--- I can handle the other stuff, but chocolate in any form really does me in. :( It'll be NEXT week that we see the impact on the scale. For this week I was down 1.4 for the 3rd week in a row. Decent for me considering I've slowed waaaay down. Still haven't broken through the 185 obese/overweight mark. Grrrrr. :/
I'll be up north this Sat, so won't see you all until the walk. Looking forward to it! Renea, you've inspired me to trot along now and then during my walks. Just a little bit, but it's been probably 25 years since I jogged more than a few steps!! And, I'm koind of LIKING it!!
