Back to where I belong

I haven't been tracking on my blog much probably because I am tracking everything on my weight watchers site. It's good to be back at WW. I really like the online tools and I don't feel deprived. Been throwing P90X back into my work out schedule and I am probably going to try the Insanity program.

As far as other things go we're itching big time to get back to Spokane. We miss our people so much. Doing lots of dreaming of buying a home in the next year or so. Still waiting to hear back from Whitworth about transferring to their master's program.

Miss Evie starts Kindergarden this coming year... it seems like time has flown by. Her mom is getting married in about 6 weeks which blows my mind. One of my best friends is getting married in less time than that!

Feeling a little stuck lately... like I'm hurry up and waiting. Ugh. Other than that I'm feeling more like myself lately :) Which is the light I have been focusing on.

Trying to get it right.

Haven't been posting as much lately. Still walking though. I had a long day today, been filing in where needed at work after one of the maintenance guys was fired. I haven't done manual labor like this in a long time. Did over 3 miles today just at work. I am also sore from last night's gym trip. Started back at Weight Watchers feel really good about it too. I'll go to a meeting either Thursday or Friday. Feeling back on track, feeling like I am stepping forward, I also really like the Weight Watchers format. Alright that's all for now! :)

Today and yesterday

Yesterday I decided I needed a rest day. The day before class started I had dinner and just hung out with the TV :) My feet needed the rest.
Today I did 5.8 miles :) this put a big smile on my face. Went for a walk on my lunch then went to the gym. Afterwards I made a fantastic homemade butternut squash soup.

Today was successful day!

Walking and such

Today only 3 miles but I did go to the gym and got a great workout. Something I realized today is how sedentary my job is. I only walked 3,000 steps by the time 5 pm rolled around. I realized how long I am sitting at my desk staring at a computer and not moving.
This makes me even more motivated to get moving! I really want to be moving the way I use to. Playing sports and trying new things has always been something that makes me feel good and absolutely love. I cannot wait to move and get back to the YMCA with all their classes. I miss a good yoga class and trying new workouts.

Gonna get up and walk tomorrow morning... then gym in the evening. :)

Greenlake walking :)

Today the sun finally came out. So as Seattlites do they get out and try to get as much vitamin D as possible and walk. We followed suit and went to Greenlake and walked all the way around it. I have already reached 10,751 steps for today. Which with my stride is 4.1 miles already and I haven't even been to the gym.
The sun put a smile on my face which I needed quite badly after yesterday. I felt very lonely. I miss my friends.
I am enjoying walking...it doesn't make my knees or hips hurt like running does.

Walk

2.8 miles

Taking a cue from those I love.

I am taking a cue from one of my friends who walks. The sun is out for this minute in Seattle... I'm going.

I have been frustrated as of late trying to figure out what is going to work for me for my weight. There are things in know about myself:
I hate to track my food, I do it for about 2 weeks then stop because I am annoyed.
I don't mind weighing in but I need to do it every two weeks.
I love veggies.
I love good well cooked food.
I love wine.
I love chocolate.
I love to exercise.

So why is this so hard? I dunno but I sure as hell need to figure it out.

Okay gonna go walk before the sun goes away again...
