Kicking Butt, and Taking Names - And drinking out of nasty waterbottles

I decided to start going to WW on Saturday rather than during the week. That way I can go work out, and then weigh in.

In my area we have a Co-op that does fresh fruit and veggies every Saturday. You pay $15 and you get a basket of awesome stuff. It's called a bountiful basket. The pick up time for me is at 7:30 am.   My weight watchers meeting is at 8 AM. So my plan was to get up super early and go work out. Then go get my basket, and finish up at weight watchers. I was going to get so much done by 8:30 am.        Then I realized, I was going to have to be at the gym by 5 am to run 10 miles in time to pick up my basket. .... Yeah... that did not happen. I slept in until 7. When I got to weight watchers I found out they have a 10 am meeting. Hell Yeah! I skipped out of there, and went to the gym. That was enough time to run 10 miles if I hurried.

I got to the gym, and realized that I did not have my water bottle. And it was HOT in the gym. But I was in a time crunch, and I needed to get my run in before my WW meeting. So I was going to run 3 miles, then hit the water fountain. Run three... water. It would work out.... I must have been crazy. It was SO hot that I needed water after a mile. Sweat was dripping off of my eye brows and nose and I was getting dehydrated fast.  The whole time I am running/walking I am eyeing a water bottle that is sitting on a ledge. I decide that if I get to three miles, and the water bottle is still there, IT IS MINE.  I hit three miles, and went for it. I grabbed that water bottle, dumped out the last little bit of water in there, wiped off the mouth part, and filled it up. And I drank out of that bottle for the rest of the time at the gym, and then again at my weight watchers meeting. The WHOLE time I was grossed out, and so happy that I had water. I was very torn about it.  (By the way, I only did 7 miles because it was so hot and because of the time crunch)

When I weighed in at weight watchers, I found out that I had lost 5 pounds from last week. So I am down a total of 8.2 pounds! If you have been following my blog for a while, you know that I have weight loss jars. And I move a gem over for every pound that I have lost. When I hit 30 pounds lost maybe I will do another give away to win a set for yourself!


I keep these bad boys on my desk at work. That way I have to look at them all day every day and they remind me to keep my eating in check. I love em.

I also felt really good about my hair this morning. It just seemed to work. Its been a long time since I have taken a selfie and not felt really bad about myself after. So.. GO ME. :)



Here is to having another good week. Running my booty off, and eating healthy. I want to hit a 4 lb loss at my WW meeting this Saturday so I can get my 5% lost and my key chain on the same day. :)

Pin It!
