Time Off

I have had so much craziness going on in my life that I took a break from everything. LOL. Yes, I know I made the commitment to write on my blog everyday, however it was getting to the point that it was a chore and becoming unenjoyable. I was very exhausted and even took a week off from exercising as well. In retrospect that probably wasn't the best thing, but I was just tired and dealing with a fridge that wasn't working and the amount of food that we lost plus other things. I have returned. Yay. I plan on getting all of my updated weight pictures updated and my weigh-ins as well. Toot-toot....I am doing great. 30 pounds gone! I am staying right on track with about 10 pounds every month. I am hoping to lose 20 more pounds by my birthday, which is totally doable. My birthday is May 14th which would mark the 5 month mark. My friend and I sat down and figured out how much we should weigh for our height...at this rate I will be considering a healthy weight by August and to be on the lower end of that scale by October. For my height, I should weight no more than 135 pounds and no less than 105 or 110...I'm not going to be a bean pole, but I would like to get down to 125-135. I honestly do not think that I have been that small since Middle school! Wow....I totally feel like the fat kid. LOL. I have so much more confidence now and feel better in the clothes I am wearing. I actually look forward to going shopping even if I don't buy anything. I know that this is only the beginning and I have more that I want to lose, but I am off to a great start.

Today is Friday and I am super excited. I have a lot to do tonight after I get off. It shouldn't take long since I won't have Cadence with me. I plan on going to bed early tonight in order to get plenty of rest for the morning. I just hope it's not going to rain or be extremely cold. I will just have to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Greg will be in town in exactly one month! I can't wait. I miss him sooooooooooooooo much.

It's Thursday and nothing special. Not really too much going on. I had to get peanut's stuff together for Mama. She will be spending the night tomorrow night. I will be participating in a 5k this weekend. I am pretty excited about it. I am not running just walking for the most part. I think it will be rewarding to get the first one done just to see what it feels like and then I can work on improvements from there. I just have to figure out how to correct my running so I do not get these stupid shin splints. They hurt like crazy, but not to the point that I am in pain walking. My body just needs time to adjust.

I am much happier today because it is hump day plus Greg has exactly one month left in Arizona. Yay. I hope to make great progress over the next few weeks. I'm not really noticing my stomach getting flatter and I need to start focusing on that area. LOL. Always something.

This weekend, Cadence and I are going to the car show. I can't wait. It will be nice to just relax and hangout. Why can't weekends be three days long?

Yesterday, unfortunately has carried over today. I am just frustrated, but things will get better...they always do. So instead of having to worry about sitters, we have decided to walk/jog/run in the subdivision that we work in. We completed about a mile today. There is a huge difference in a flat level area versus curves and hills. LOL. I'm feeling the burn today.

Workouts are still going great.

Today was absolutely horrible! The only detail that I am willing to share is that it was a bad day at work. I wish I could just win the lottery like the millions of others who wish the same thing. Ugh well, it is what it is.

On a plus note, a friend and I ran a mile at the high school track in 13:45! I was pretty satisfied with that. I really want to try to run daily and be able to complete a 5k in 30 minutes. I want to do that prior to then end of the Summer. I have a lot of training to do.

59 days and counting

Today really wasn't too busy. I was a little slow moving this morning since I was woke up at 7 am. I'm not complaining...it gave me time to do my stretch routine...not really a workout more of a resting workout. LOL. Off to church we went, the message was wonderful and I really enjoying going there.

After church, we met up with my best friend to meet her parents from out of town. It was nice to meet them. We piddle for a bit and then went home for a late lunch. I attempted to take a nap, but that really did not work out as planned. Ugh well..I will sleep tonight. We are now winding down for the night....a cold night...Sheesh, I'm not ready to be cold again.
