ok so I am on a roll now. I know THREE days in a row .. what is happening??? But this is going to be short an sweet.
Today didn't make in for my swim but my body needed the rest. I'm ok with it. I am not going to rush myself to catch up. It WILL happen over the next month. I am going to swim at least 2-3 times a week and then each evenings for more cardio on the treadmill/stationary bike with my daughter. And a lil weight stuff too.
Tonight I my plan was to see how long it would take to walk a 5k. I can say I need to pick up the pace a bit. Next Friday I will be in Wichita Ka for the Glow Run in memory of my "hero" that lost his life to leukemia. Walking it with his wife/daughter and I think gdaughter ... not to mention my sweet lil girl.
My plan was to walk it in an hour but that didn't happen. In the hour that I had planned for my time I managed to get in 2.36 miles. I know why didn't I finish I was soooo close. I used the excuse a friend was coming to meet me and I didn't want to keep them waiting. I know the would have waited but I felt like I had done good. It's been a while since I walk for an hour without stopping. Ok ok I rested for a few seconds here an there tonight. But I did get in an hour plus cool down.
Food for the day I finished off from the trip to Subway this morning. Oh alright I had my guilty please. Taquita from On the Run when I stopped to get my morning drinks. Lunch I had a plate of veggies. I wish I could tell you what I am having for dinner at this late hour but I made the mistake of letting the kids decide.
All in all I feel good about the day. Tired but good. Stand back. Say a prayer and cheer me on!!

7-23-13 26 of 100
ok so today was pretty good. Got up before my the alarm was set to go off, unlike yesterday forgetting to set the alarm and only having time go get ready for work.
Awake at 4:15 up by 4:30 ... eat unhealthy left over chicken tenders from last night. Good thing there was only 4 lol. I was IN the pool by 5:27 (got in early only cuz I promised not to sue if I drown lol) and got in a good, but rough, swim for 1:15 min. Rough cuz dolphin boy was there, I def get my workout with him splashing like he does ():D
So the 100 mile swim?? yeah it's still on but I am behind. I need to be at 56 miles by the end of week and I am at 49 right now. If I can make myself get up EVERY morning this week and get at least a mile in I can get caught up to only being one mile down by the end of the month. Next week no swimming. I have to be at work an hour earlier so that I can have Friday off to go to Wichita Ka for my 5k glow run. But I will be going after work and getting a workout in.
Breakfast was from On The Run. It's like 7-11 ... you know the stuff they have there. Taquita are one of my fav. I know I know don't look at me like that lol. I did drink LOTS of water to help make up for it. Lunch my work neighbor and I headed to Subway. 6in ham an cheese only 310 calories. No, no dressing, only salt pepper and vinegar ... and more water. NO not on my sub silly :D
After work, you're gonna love this. My daughter and I have made a deal to go work out everyday after work. Today was no different. So I got in two workouts today. Yes TWO!!!! I feel good. Then back to Subway, she even recommended it. Yea another 6 in ham n cheese .... and??? yup MORE water!!
Did I mention while I was at the gym I drank something ...ahhmm WATER!!!! I feel like I am sloshing but I feel good. I would love to say I am not going to let this feeling go but I know it will at some point. I am just going to enjoy it while it's here:D
The evening workout started out on stationary bike. Two sets each on ab machine and seated leg curls. 100 reps each set at 50lbs each. Then cool down for a 10 min walk on the treadmill. aahhhmm did I say I was getting tired? I would have had more water but I drank it all. I don't like fountain water soooo I was thirsty :/
Ended the day with 1548 calories and burned ... 1955. I think that is going in the direction now. Well burned that much just the cardio in the gym.
Well I AM getting sleepy, after all I've been up since EARLY. When ya get this old that's really not good for ya. So short an sweet but a victory just the same and a smile on my face.
Stand back, say a prayer and cheer me on.

ok so I hope I do better at swimming my 100 miles than I have been at keeping up with my blog. Seems I am just getting behind on this. I would love to say I am going to write everyday, like I wanted to when I started this, but anyone that has been following for anytime can see that is probably not gonna happen.
Today started with a LATE start. Late in the sense that I some how forgot to set my alarm to go swim. The pool opens at 5:30 and if I get there at that time I can get in .75-1 mile before I have to go to work. Today ... no alarm at all. Why I woke up when I did I don't remember but I am glad that I wasn't late for work. The time? 6:46. Oh well at least I did make it after work for at least 30 min workout with my daughter.
The food journal is not to bad. I need to get on better track with that. I am keeping in the 1500-2000 range but not all the choices are the best. I need to get back to the basics but it's hard to get done for some reason. I don't get it. When I started I just stopped eating whites an sugars but now I try to not eat some of them and that's all I seem to crave. I need to get a handle on this.
I am not going backwards but I am not moving forward either. I WILL get it done just not right now. I am not giving up so don't give up on me. Stand back, say a prayer and cheer me on.

July 10th 2013 24 of 100
I know I know I was going to do this more ... life gets me down and I don't make it. This is short and sweet tonight. I am slowly getting back on track where I need to be to keep this journey going. I have recruited my daughter as my workout partner. She is wanting to lose weight before her wedding next summer. Me I just want to lose weight and be healthy. We CAN do this.
I have been a bit lazy for the early swim. After talking with my daughter we decided to go when I get off work AT LEAST 3 times a week. Then again if I have someone that will go with me I am more apt to get there more often. Is that a real word?? eehh you know
The food didn't start out like I would have liked it to but I did manage to stay under 2,000 calories. I really want to get it back down to 1,200 but I am ok with it today.
Last night made lasagna. One pan with pasta and one with zucchini instead of noodles. It was really good. The morning I had the "bad" one but for lunch I had the "good one".
Dinner was a stop off at Carl's Jr and that is what put me up there. Three chicken strips and small fries. But again I am not upset about it. I feel good today. I always do when I make it to the gym.
Tonight I am TIRED not been sleeping well so I need to say good night
Stand back, say a prayer and cheer me on. Let's do this!!!
