163 lbs.

down 34 lbs. from start

23 lbs. to my goal

Yay! I told you I would start losing again soon! The scale actually read 162.5 lbs this morning, but I'm not recording that quite yet. I think you need those plateaus and times where you are lazy, food and exercise wise. Your body sometimes needs some time to rest and adjust and make your new weight the "normal" weight for you. Then, once it's all regulated, you can go hard again and lose some more. This is just my theory, but it works for me. lol.

 

So we worked out with Jeff last night and talked about foods. Jeff is starting to give me a lot of crap about the stuff I eat. I'm telling you, it is SO hard for me to eat healthy with my darn pickiness. He told me "no more chef boyardi... lunchables... baked potatoes..." Is he crazy? I'm going to die of starvation! lol. We also talked about working hard for vacation and he said that if we really want to lose weight fast to cut out all carbs. (He said he would only have us do this for a short period of time though.) This is unrealistic for me. But I'm going to try to keep the carbs to a minimum, at least for the next week or so. We'll see. I'm going to try to eat lots of protein and veggies. This weekend is here and that usually means eating out and ruining everything I did during the week. I'm going to try really hard to not let that happen this time.

 

Tomorrow, Phil, my friend Chelsea and her boyfriend Riley are participating in YWCA's Walk a Mile in Her Shoes. It is a one mile walk to show support for ending sexual violence. Phil and Riley will be sporting red pumps for this walk. I'm so excited! Chelsea and I participated in SlutWalk last year, but we really wanted to get the guys involved. I hope to see a lot of people out there supporting this cause. :)

 

Sunday, we have our Graffiti Run. This will be my first 5k! We won't be running, because we are going with a large group of people including many that don't run. Now, I sort of wish I could attempt to run it. I can only run 1 mile on the treadmill so it'd be super hard and I'd be slow but I want to push myself. It's fine that we are walking this one. My next one will be hard.. The Dirty Girl Mud Run in September. I'm going with Ashley and Angelina who have done other 5ks and are pretty athletic. I'm scared for that one.

 

Today is the day that I talk to the coordinator at St. Louis Arc. Ughh. I'm so nervous. I better freaking find something out today. I will die if this ends up only being an interview and I don't know if I got a position or not. And that is totally possible. I may be super depressed the next time I write. We'll see...

 

See ya!
