I OWNED NUMBER FOUR!



I owned number four last night.  OWNED IT!!

I got on that thing, covered EVERY clock that I might be able to lay my eyes on - including the treadmill display, and started walking.  I didn't let myself check my progress at all!

We watched Scandal and while I was walking...SERIOUSLY love that show - Fitz and Olivia are smoking hot!.  When the show ended I finally allowed myself to check my progress - 3.24 miles complete!  I overshot the 5K!  I couldn't believe it!  It had gone so smoothly!

It was the easiest of the four 5K's I've walked this week. My body didn't hurt, mentally I was in the zone, I was in a good mood for the entire walk - at one point even singing at the top of my lungs!  Maybe it was my mood, maybe it was my attitude...I don't know...all I know is I killed it!

Tonight is my final 5K of the week!  We will be shaking things up a bit with this one.  Should be interesting!!!

On another note, anyone going to see Iron Man 3 this weekend??  My husband has let me know in the plainest terms possible that we WOULD be going to see Iron Man 3.  I let him know I had no issue with that IF he walked my final 5K with me!  

He's in!

Truth is, I would have gone to see Tony Stark no matter what - LOVE HIM - but HEY, if I can leverage it to my advantage, all the better!

Weigh in tomorrow!  Have to admit, feeling nervous to face her.  I've really pushed it this week and I know it will disappoint me if I don't see results!

    1. THANK YOU! I will be glad when my week of 5K's is over. I will definitely be scaling back to maybe 2 a week. BUT, I'm glad I've done it!

      I cannot wait to see Iron Man! And yes, I completely agree, Tony Stark's ego makes him UBER sexy!

  2. First... I just want you to know that I read every post you write!! But I don't always comment because my phone acts up constantly... I will write a comment and then it wont let me sign into my google account.. and you don't take anonymous comments (which I totally get)...BUT long story short... I am reading even though not always successfully commenting :-) I laughed out loud when I read that about your hubs and iron man! My husband has been talking about it non stop and he was still in the shower this morning asking me when we were going to go. He of course decided on AS SOON AS POSSIBLE which is tonight. I am so happy to read that you "owned" this 5k!! I have felt like your last post SOOO many times!!!! I was glad to see that you felt totally different this time. So no need to throw in the towel because this is hard. This IS hard. Losing weight is not for sissies!!

    1. Eves, I'm so glad that you are following the blog and enjoying it! No worries if you can't comment all the time! Losing weight is definitely difficult..it seems like it should be easy, but it just takes a tremendous amount of focus and effort and I think that is what makes it difficult!

      I hope you enjoy Iron Man!! I can't wait to see it myself...and yes, I think it will be happening tonight or tomorrow night!

    1. Thanks Marion! You know, i just have to get it through my head that even experienced athletes have days when the exercise kicks there butt...the key is not to give up! I mean, I am just a beginner and I need to expect some rough days here and there!

      BTW, I loved your suggestion to go back to your older posts on your blog! I am going to be spending some time doing that this weekend!

  4. Glad this walk went smoothly for you! I just found your blog earlier this week and went back to the beginning and read ever post! You're doing awesome! I started out at 337 and am down to 185, so I know exactly where you are. KEEP IT UP!!! You can do it! I, too, have to cover every clock when I work out, so do whatever helps you! Have a good weekend!
