Garmin Update

Amazon has received my return and is processing my refund which should go back on my debit card in the next few days. The question is do I buy ANOTHER Garmin from Amazon. They had the best price. Yes the item was defective, but it was a fluke right? I’ve never has issues with Amazon before now. Or do I go with a different outlet to buy the watch. Buying it from Garmin itself is like $40 more expensive, then there is like buy.com and some other tech places.

I’m asking, what would you do?

So Fresh and So Clean, Clean

It’s only been 3 days, but my return to eating clean has been great. No garbage, just healthy, nutritious food! I FEEL so much better – which is key.

I’m also so happy to be back to the gym and I can’t wait for it to cool down enough to run outside. The town I live in has added MILES of sidewalks in town (mainly due to one of the college’s dean’s who got hit by a car while running back in November) which will give me more options and routes to take! 

I’m hoping to hit up a farmer’s market today after work!

Of Course Today’s Free Cookie Day

I went to Pita Pit with a friend for lunch and opted for a healthy and hearty salad with chicken and got a water. However, apparently Wednesday  is “Free Cookie Day.” Damn you temptation, how easy it would have been to eat you. Instead I gave my cookie to my lunch date to give to her husband/coworker.

Bye, bye excess sweets.

Ta, ta soda.

I don’t miss them when their 100% gone, but it’s having some here and there that make me long for more.

Dear Followers

I just did some fitblr purging of folks who weren’t as focused on fitness and weight loss as I need right now. Therefore my dash is looking rather sad. I know when I was in full-swing fitblr mode (both reading and writing) I was in the best shape of my life.

I haven’t checked in with who have been following me in a while and if you’re determined and weight loss focused “like” my post and I will follow back. Also if you have any recommendations for me I would greatly appreciate them!

WIW – Moment of Truth

Last Weigh in (06/29/11): 184.0

Today (8/10/11): 194.4

10 pounds

I knew it was there I could feel it and see it. 

I’m frustrated because despite a crazy summer schedule I was holding pretty strong in the 182-186 range. Then the end of the summer celebrations hit as did a 2 week vacation. 

I made the choice to gain every single pound which is the hardest truth to face. 

Looking back it’s like I went out of my way to gain all that weight. God, just thinking about what I ate and my 5 week hiatus from working.

I knew better, I guess I just didn’t care. That’s a half truth. It’s not that I didn’t care, but my cares and worries are most of my focus away from diet and exercise.

So here I am, looking back this is about how much I weighed in August 2010. I am still confident in my abilities to get focused, get back on track and eventually get to my GW of 168 and my UGW of 155. 

Here’s to running, weight-lifting, yoga, spinning and smart food choices!

Remember how I was to order a Garmin Forerunner 405 for my birthday and express shipped it?

Well I got it Friday and the wristband latch wasn’t on the watch to size and secure the wristband. SERIOUSLY.

Now I have to return it to Amazon, wait to get reimbursed and then order a new one. It’s going to be an ordeal and I am very frustrated.

Plus the fact that I plan on weighing in tomorrow and I’m terrified. I feel and look gross. It’s going to be bad, but I need to face the music.
