3.3 miles with sylvia and yvonne at Riverwalk Park. Good walk but i need to be consistant.

358.8 Woo Hoo

I had a great weigh in. I have lost a total of 30 pounds so far!!!!!! I feel great.

Mar v. Tay

I weighed in for the Martinez v. Taylor weight loss challenge I came in at 358.4 which would be great but Im going to wait to celebrate until my ww mtg.

River Walk Park this morning Solita – 3 mi / 01:00 20:00 pace

I walked it alone this morning and pushed myself a little harder than usual. My time was 10 minutes faster and I felt a lot better afterwards, not so winded. I could walk around my neighborhood but I just love the trail in Norco. There are so many butterflies, bunnies, and little lizards running around and the view is amazing. In the distance I can see the Norconian where Enrique and I had our wedding reception, so its an extra bonus view. :)

364.6: .2 weight loss

My weight loss was very low, really non-existent but its something. I feel good any how. After the meeting I took off to the River Walk Trail and walked. Afterwards I went to a WW meeting since we only weighed in this morning. I'm glad I went it helps to stay at the meetings and get a little more extra motivation who are struggling like you.

Tomorrow- 3rd week back on WW

I wonder how I did. I feel good. But I know I can do better. I have kept up with my water aerobics and I walked twice on the trail this week. I'm trying to find a balance between sitting on my duff twiddling my fingers to obsessing how many times I hit the gym in one day. Until tomorrow morning. :) el

Falling, Fall, Fell

It was a beautiful cool night but my clumsy self fell at the half way point. I scared my nephew to death but I survived and finished the walk. It was a 3 mile walk today. It was lovely. i say you need to fall a couple a times a year to keep you grounded. haha so i say. we'll see what my body tells me tomorrow

Water Aerobics- 1 HR

The instructor kicked my butt, I still feel sore. The class is getting really popular, I need to remember to get there early so I can score some weights. It was good to go it alone because I focused more on my balance.

Elvia posted a swim on dailymile.

Elvia swam for 1 hour and felt great.

Trail Blazer Sisters

I meet up with my sister this morning to walk the trail after my WW meeting. We walked it in 71 mins. It used to take me 90 mins because we strolled it most of the time but today I pushed myself and it was so hot. It was harder because of lack of sleep, water, and food but I got it done. 71 mins counting a five minute bathroom break, not bad elvia...not bad.

I like walking with Sylvia we play catch up on each others lives. Well, mostly her life since I'm trying to catch my breath keeping up. We saw loads of yellow and black butterflies, bunnies, and dragonflies. I love walking that trail. It also got me to focus on the long road ahead for training for this half-marathon in Vegas. At one point during the walk I was thinking I was crazy to think I could do it by December. But when we got to the end and I realized we got it done faster, I know it's just that ugly demon that likes to spit out spew and not the truth. That I am amazing and strong and I can do anything. :)

364.8- WooHoo WI

So for the past two months I spent it going up and down the scale from 375 all the way down to 360. But the last two weeks I made a commitment to stick it through and re-join ww and actually use the gym I pay for every month. It worked, my initial weigh-in was 371.6 and today I weighed in at 364.8. Woop Woop! :) Very proud. I need to stop half-assing the program and just get it done. 

Bravo Elvita, Bravo!!
