So I busted my tail this past week on working out.  I did ok on eating - not as well as I could have though.  I lost 0.4lbs yesterday when I weighed in at Lean Living.  I will take that - especially since I thought I would be up at least 2lbs from last month!  My goal is to lose another 4.6lbs by the time the whole competition is over at the end of July.  That would put me at 150lbs and a 16lb weight loss!  Where I am at now is where I have been for the past several years (maybe even since college).  I am comfortable where I am at now, except for the fact that I still have my baby belly from my 10 month old.  Not sure what to do to make that start shrinking that.  Maybe I will have to google it!

I have gotten out of the habit of excercising and eating healthy and I am sure that it will show on the scale on Saturday.  I am scrambling this last week to drop the 1lb or 2 I gained over the past month.  I have worked out every day this week and actually ran 4 miles yesterday morning with my sister.  I didn't think I could do it, but we did!  She was cursing me at the end, but we ran the whole 4 miles in 41 minutes.  Not too bad.  We are now trying to prepare for the Johnnycake Jog in July.  I have already signed up for it so I wouldn't chicken out and not do it!  It is 5 miles.  I want to be able to run the whole thing.  I don't think I have ever run 5 miles straight.  It is a goal to finish!

It seems like since the big weigh in at the end of April,  I have lost all motivation, drive, desire and time.  I have fallen off the bandwagon with eating healthy and exercising.  I know that the next weigh in will show a gain on the scale.  I almost hope that it does so it will be a wake up call for me.  The world is going to see my set back and that is embarrassing to me.  I hope I can turn that embarrassment into determination and hope.  I can tell I am not eating healthy.   I just feel gross and awful about myself and not comfortable in my skin anymore.

I am so proud of my sister for running in her first 5K.  I am so happy that I was able to run with her (this was my 3rd).  I am also proud of myself for setting a personal record in the run.  I ran it in 29:45 which is almost 4 minutes faster than what I ran the Turkey Day 5K on Thanksgiving this past year.  It just goes to show how much diet and exercise and change a person!  Now, with all that being said, I have fallen off of the bandwagon with eating healthy and exercising.  Today is a new day and time to get back on track!
