I guess I should "ketchup" my blog....cause I have not posted in almost a month!
I finished my busy travel schedule for work and all in all I'd say I did pretty good! I didn't gain any weight...and I lost I think 10 pounds in the last 30 days. Starting today I'm going to startwriting my weight down everyday! It is getting so hard to keep dates and losses in my head! I'm planning to hang a sheet of paper above my scale and just write it everyday!
So for the last 6-7 weeks I have been haunted by bad weekends! Every weekend I would gain 2 pds on sat morning and maybe a pound on Sunday then I'd loose it around Tuesday and show another positive pound or 2 by Friday. Those weekends were so annoying! I don't know what was causing it but my inactivity or reduced activity was probably a good cause.
I seemed to have beat that weekend curse as of about 2 weeks ago. I didn't really do anything differently on Fridays except really watch the calories and sugar I am consuming. But I'm now working out on Saturday or sunday or maybe both days! I have really gotten into running since the beginning of the year. I'm not a fast runner....or a long distance runner....but I am a beginner...and I'm trying to really learn how to be a good runner. I have a friend that I am running with on the weekends. She is training for a full marathon and I'm training just to train...but I do plan to run 2 half marathons at the end of the year this year. Wish me luck!!!!
Soooo my big update is that I have lost a total of 60 pounds!!!!! I'm so excited about it...it's totally driving me to continue and see what I can do this summer! I set a goal at the beginning of march to lose 40 pounds by sept. now I only have 30 pounds to lose..to hit that goal, but I want to lose 78 more pounds in total by April 2013.
A few weeks ago I cleaned out my closet....I mean I really cleaned out my closet. I pulled out like 45 pair of pants, probably double in shirts, 13 shorts, suits, dresses, jackets,etc. it took up 3 rooms in my house. I put an ad on Craigslist and sold all my cloths! That was a scary moment when someone walked out with my clothes leaving me 1 or 2 outfits! Yikes! Terrifying moment!!!!!!
Well I went shopping last weekend and ended up being able to shop In a store that I have never been able to shop in ( well in years) and buying sizes I haven't worn in over 10 years!!! Was an amazing feeling to pick something up....try it on and it fit!!!!!
Well this week I'm back to my regular Workout schedule and I have a 5k scheduled for this Saturday ....actually I'm registered for 4 more races through the end of may...but I'll actually probably do 5-7.
I'm turning 36 in a few weeks and I'm actually looking forward to what this year will bring! My life has been transformed in the past 8 months!
....my daughter won 5th place at her very first dance competition!!! Her group got platinum in her category!!!!
....if you want to change your life....then make the decision...start small..and don't except excuses from yourself!
