You wouldnt believe I went on the scale today and it read 76 kilos I know its not going to read the same tomorrow but It made me feel as though there is an end!
I ran this morning but it was not really a great run-I only ran 4.25K and it was torture-I was trying to find a route that was all flat but I couldnt so I had to do more hills and it wore me out!I think I will not run tomorrow and go back to my every other day schedule because I dont want to strain of pull anything.

I was busy this morning so I didnt have breakfast
Lunch was a tiny paprika veggie salad with feta
a soy burger with lettuce a little ketchup and miricle whip light on
dinkel whole grain organic bread.
i also had a half of an apple

We are getting ready to head to the pool so that should give me a little workout.

Hi rimay2k... It's great finding another expat living in germany! I've been here (Dresden) for 1 year, 5 months (not that I'm counting or anything... lol) and for the past several months have been working hard to rid myself of all the weight I gained my first year, plus some.

Just thought I'd introduce myself. By the way, your boys are gorgeous!

Hubby is so cute and so are you!!! thanx for the dh thing Ive often wondered what it stood for I knew it was in relation to hubby or significant other...I had to laugh when I read 1000 degrees - Have a good day chicky - your doing well wiht that scale

Today isnt the best day for me-I didnt feel very motivated I just walked with the kiddo-
Brunch
paprika salad with feta
half tofu bake with mushroom and white bean sauce

Dinner
turkish veggie wrap with garlic sauce

Snack
blueberry muffin-I didnt bake it-LOL
Half a bag of salted popcorn
half a pretzel
I snacked too much today but I really wasnt having a good day and this is a start compared to my normal binges when my mood isnt the best.

I saw this lady running when I was going to the park with the kids and I stopped her and asked her if I can run with her she said we could run tomorrow at 5pm I took her up on it even though I perfer the early morning run it would be good to have company.

awesome to have some company to go on runs with - keeps you accountable and gives you some company yay you!!

WOW!

You look so beautiful, your Dh is a lucky man!

And 135 is such a coveted number for me--actually right now 140 is a coveted number, I gained weight recently, grrrrr! I need to settle, and stop drinking so much, and I will lose again. For some reason, hot weather makes me eat and drink more. For everyone else in the world it is the opposite! SO in winter I lose weight, summer I gain. That is so stupid!

If I were you I would not run everyday--but I'm a cross-trainer. Good idea taking it easy when you're tired--and great job running those hills!!! nice finding a buddy-pal to run with. Right now my wasp-sting is a tiny dot and my fat foot is barely chubby, so I'm running this evening IF I don't have to work for my 2nd job. You have a great time, ok? Good luck!!

You and your family look so cute!! Thanks for the pictures!!

Just stopping by to say hi and and congratulate you on your weight loss.
I wish I had a running buddy who would push me when I am out of willpower!!.
keep up the good work!!
Hajni

Wow good for you!!! Looking forward to hearing abt it

So this biatch stood me up I was waiting and waiting and she never showed up so thats what I get for trying to get someone to run with.
So I am pissed because I would have gotten my workout over with along time ago -like at 6am but i didnt and I was not even entertaining the idea of running alone after 5pm, so its back to early mornings just my mp3 player and me!!
We went to a kids amusement park today and walked around for a few hours it was fun to go on a ride with my husband.
Eating wasnt the best today but it wasnt the worst
I had a muffin for breakfast
too many pretzel trail mix
2 waffles
and dinner was at pizza hut
I had a small quesedilla(sp) with barely any chese at all which was good
and 2 slices of garlic bread with cheese really small pieces!

Well the crapy weather is back so I have to be sure to stay motivated and not eat mindlessly in the house.
We are going swimming in a indoor pool this afternoon with the kids and it will be fun I am sure!I am maintaining my 77 kilos but I sure would like to see the scale go lower again-LOL
I ran 5,25 miles this morning-it was a good run.I found a nice path that is not too hilly and not full of traffic-I think I might runn it more often.I will try to burn alot of calories jumping around in the water with the kids and maybe i will sqeeze something in this evening.
I have my 5k on saturday night so I will be resting my body tomorrow.WHile running today I really noticed my wieght dragging me down.I really hate that feeling
Breakfast 1/2 avocado

Ish wunsche das ish kan kilos verstehen!

Ya, meine eltern sind aus Deutschland so ish can eine bissen schreiben abba bessa sprechen (we stopped speaking German when I was about 5 years old so I never learned how to write).

How's your German from being there 2 years? I've been learning Spanish from hanging around all these puerto ricans and listening to salsa but I would love to immerse myself somewhere to really know how to speak fluently.

Danke Blancita!!Ich muss nicht so viel deutsch sprechen viel mein mann spricht englisch.Wir haben von anfang mit einanander nur englisch gesprochen.LOL
My husband also has alot of english speaking frineds so I almost never have to speak german only when dealing with outsiders-I cant wait to have a little job or when my oldest starts preschool, that way i can meet non english speaking people and and become fluent-I understand it all but speaking is hard when its too technical-LOL

Hi I(m sorry abt that bitch - heeheehee - that really sucks and ya know I never get that either - why someone just doesnt show...and I seem to have forgotten what else I was gonna say...

ait is great you found a nice area you like to run in and if I was a hell o a lot closer I would run with you it is something I wanna learn and do - however - I need to motivation of doing it with someone...

I hope you have a good day Enjoy swimming with the kids - that is something I need to do with mine soon here

Oooooh, Shitty!! Much sympathy to you. I know, I ALWAYS run alone. Grrrrrr!

Enjoy the swimming! Nice 5,25 miles!!!! Hey--sorry that sensation bothers you. Just keep going, don't forget to weight train *giggle* and you'll be lighter, soon!! I know how you feel, when I was 137 for that wonderful, brief month or so (I'm 5'7" so that was really spectacular) I was light and fleet and when I ran I felt invincible! Now I'm 10 lbs heavier (probably) and I can feel my bunny chub bounce when I run. Yuck! That's ok, it's really not that bad and I plan on losing it again. After this damn ankle heals. Anyway, enjoy your day! Looking forward to your 5K story!!!

Hey I can't remember and I'm lazy to search--is this your first? Or am I thinking of someone else??

So I am pretty ticked off!!!I got back from my 5k run and decided to map it out on map my run.com and it was shorter than 5k it was exactly 4k i am so pissed I feel cheated how could they not measure thid correctly before a race like this!!!I knew my time was too good to be true but I think I would have had a good finish time and came in lower than my expected time.
I came in at 21 minutes but thats for 4k -I did my first lap in 4 minutes something which was a bit too fast and the other 3 were a liittle over 5 minutes. So I am guessing if I was to run one more lap to equal 5k it would have been about 26 minutes way better than my expected 30 minutes!!My dh was so proud of me and I am proud of myself but i ma so sad my first 5k is now my first 4k-Whatever i am running the womans run on august 25th hopefully I will improve my time!
