    Weekly Weigh-In

    Mary Here....
     
    Well I managed to survive 2 weeks of Phase I.  I did cheat this weekend with a small peice of cheesecake with friends this past weekend.  With that minor slip I still managed to loose weight.  My current weight is 188.5.  I am down 2 pounds. 
     
    Today, Shayla and I ran 2.5 miles and bicycled nearly 3 miles.  We pushed ourselves really hard.  We have set some goals of running a 10K in Prescott in May and maybe a sprint triathalon in April. 
     
    My husband and I hiked the Hyeroglyphic Canyon Trail late this morning.  It was 3 miles round trip and absolutely beautiful.  We are excited for our next hike at the Superstition Mountains next weekend.

    Fit City

    Today my husband and I participated in our city's fit challenge.  We live in Mesa and has been rated the 4th FATTEST City in America.  We did a 5K fun run/walk today.  Our pooches came along for the exercise.  We both challenged ourselves.  I always feel better after working out.  I am glad I have my honey and Shayla to work out with.  And the positive words and encouragement from my one of my best friends Angie.  They make such a difference keeping me motivated. 
     
    Thanks you guys!

    Mary - Week 1

    On 1/7/06 my starting weight was 196. Today I weigh 190.5.  I lost 5.5 pounds! Hooray for me.
     
    It wasn't easy.  I am doing the Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet which is very little carbs, low fat and high protein.  I am almost sick of salads.  I have been exercising my butt off!  I am enjoying the exercise though.  I think it is helping my stress level at work.  I can't wait to see what next week's weigh in will show.
