Ran 1st 5K - sort of…

Well I know I havent been around much.  I have had TONS going on lately.  It sucks.  I got a new client at work and they are kicking my ass with stuff to do….so less time to play online right now.  I’m hoping it will die down here soon.

 I did want to say that last Saturday I registered as a “runner” at my first 5K for the Humane Society.  I ran a good portion of the first mile and about half of the second mile.  I did power walk the last mile though….I was exhausted and so was my dog haha!  I got a tshirt and everything….and the tshirt fit in a XL - that isnt a plus just a plain old XL….felt great!   One of the hardest things I’ve done to date exercise wise but I am excited to have tried.  I did it in 45 minutes which means I’m slow haha but I did a 15 min mile and that is pretty good for someone who started at nearly a 30 minute mile a few months ago….

 The weight loss is still going but SLOW….I’m lucky to get a pound in each week but I just think about the turtle/rabbit story and try and take it one weigh in at a time.  I’m not a patient person but all I can do it keep pushing on.  Hoping I’ll break through this barrier soon b/c I REALLY want to make my mini goal by vacation in July….

 Well back to hell, I mean work, talk to you all soon!  Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Been little absent

Hey guys!  Sorry I’ve been a little absent lately on the blog circuit.  Work has been insane and I just haven’t had much time to play…it sucks.  Anyway, I’m doing ok on my weight loss.  I only have 20 pounds until I reach my mini goal but the weight sure is coming off slow.  I have allowed myself to be a little too liberal lately with portions, etc so I’m trying to rein that in before it gets out of hand.  It seems when life gets unstructured is when I tend to slip up the most.  My car broke down last week and I had a sleu of other things going on so my work outs suffered as well as I ate a few things more than I should have etc.  I didn’t go off the deep end or anything but little things add up just as much as having one big bad meal so I just need to make sure I stay focused on the end game and keep it up.   I’m in this until the end so I know I’ll stay back on track. 

 I have gone from a size 28 to loose fitting size 22’s.  I’m in a 1x comfortably rather than a 3x tight.  It is such a great feeling and I’m trying not to go out and buy any new clothes becuase I know I’ll just be out of them soon but all my clothes are a baggy mess haha.  I have bought a few shirts and stuff but overall it is nice to see my first set of “skinny” (its all relative) jeans falling off me….So just keep it up out there.  The results will speak for themselves!

 Anyway, back to work….boo hoo.  Hope you all are rockin’ the weight loss!!!

 Happy Tuesday!
