New week, new workout

I found a new workout online that I really like.  It works my abs and my back which really need the most TLC right now.  When I reach a certain weight, my back feels really uncomfortable, so I am hoping to burn that fat away so I can feel better when I walk and stand.  And as I am writing this, I realize that my feet have been hurting for a long time, mostly my heels.  I thought it was my shoes, but I recall having this same pain many years ago and I think it was when I was almost this heavy before.  I am starting to wonder if the 2 are related.  So I think I have found my motivation...I am in pain and uncomfortable.  Maybe if I think of that, I won't run to the refrigerator every time I get bored.  I have lost a little weight.  I need to eat better.  I need the desire to eat better.  How do I get that?

I ran 1.8 miles and did this workout.

Time to get back at it.

I fell off the wagon and am at my heaviest that I have ever been, while not being preggo.  And instead of writing about excuses and why I think I got this way, I am deciding to move on, start again, workout how I want to and keep myself accountable by recording it in my journal.  I don't have time or the money to cook huge meals of vegetables for myself.  And I have a jar of Starbursts in my study that I love and don't plan on giving up.  So my 3 main goals are running 4 times a week, strength training 4 times a week, and Slimfast 2 meals a day, Monday through Friday.  That is where I am starting out.  Wish me luck.

Today and I ran 2.31 miles, interval form
And did this workout

Oops!  Didn't realize I let so many days go by from journaling.  I don't remember my diet from those days, but I feel like I did pretty good.  I did have some McD's for lunch yesterday, but won't have fast food for rest of the week.  Here was my workouts.

Weigh in Saturday!  Lost 2 1/2 pounds.  I'm sure that will go back up a bit, but I am happy with the number.  Half way to a pedicure reward.  Ran/walked 2.5 miles.  Did the following workout but took some things out.  I did not do the spider crawl (that move is weird), pullups, or side to side pushups.  Mainly because I have no idea what those are or I didn't have the equipment.  Feeling a little bit better mentally.  And I made sure to curl my hair and put on full make up so I can feel that I look good.

Diet
Fruit and spinach smoothie and atkins bar

rest of smoothie with protein powder added

Only ran/walked 3.2 miles instead of the 4 posted on the workout.  Burned 449 kcal.  Was just my dog and me, which is nice to be alone every now and then, plus pushing a stroller up hill is torture.  Kind of feeling in the dumps today emotionally.  Proud of my workouts this week, but feeling like the other things I do aren't good enough.  I really can't handle when my choices are criticized, even the little things.  I need a nap.
