Under achievers

Under achievers as in we’ve achieved a weight that’s under what we’ve ever been.

Woo hoo!

(Missy here by the way. Someone needs to leave a comment that they are sick of hearing from me and then maybe Pat will write.)

Anyway, I’ve been really discouraged the past 7-10 days.

1. Pat has been losing weight like crazy.  (I know I should be happy for him and I am but it’s still frustrating and discouraging.)

2. I have not been losing any weight.  Stuck at 150 for a week after getting to 149 for one day and then going right back up.

3. I haven’t been as motivated to exercise.  I’ve only been exercising every 1-2 days. It’s no wonder I wasn’t losing weight.

But finally yesterday when I stepped on the scale I had to do a double take. 147!  Pat is under 200 which he is really excited about too.   So far he’s lost a little over 10 pounds and I’ve lost 7 pounds. Now that gets me motivated!

After Pat not feeling well a few weeks go and then me getting sick the week after, we are both finally feeling better. I’m still not exercising every day but the past few days have gotten a little better and I’m determined to get back into a good routine. That’s the problem. Finding a routine that doesn’t involve getting out of bed at 5 am.

Pat’s been mostly biking – putting in alot of miles! He’s going to be doing a 58 mile bike ride this coming Saturday. I’m so proud of him, he’s doing such a great job. I’ve been rotating between running, biking and doing the 30 Day Shred. We’ve also played tennis a few times. The variety is really good for me. I find that when all I do is the 30 Day Shred I get bored.

Speaking of running last weekend I ran 1.6 miles – well I ran/walked that far. Unfortunately I had to walk part of it because it was up my parent’s ridiculous steep hill and I couldn’t make it. On Wednesday night Pat and I ran our loop – 1.2 miles – and Pat ran the entire thing. First time he’s ran in years so that was exciting.

According to Pat – we just might make that 5K after all!
