2.6

YES, you read that right, 2.6 lbs is what I lost this week, and I'm stoked! Hard work pays off!

I did well over the Holiday weekend, and even passed up cake at Alison's (I was secretly dying to dive into it)  ha ha ha! It looked yummy! We had cake at the inlaws that I took over and I used the 3 bite rule, and I left the cake at their house! (I made it, and didn't want it in the house all weekend)!
It's getting easier and easier to stay on track on the weekends, I don't want to "cheat" because I think of all the hard work I put into the gym!

This weekend I worked on ABS, and boy I can tell mine are under this tummy somewhere, I was soooooo sore from just one workout! Like sore if I coughed, laughed, or just getting in/out of bed! I decided to give it a few days to rest the ABS because I'm sure I tore lots of muscle fibers, they never get a workout!
I went back to working on Abs yesterday at the gym, and feel fine now, so I really want to make Abs a part of my routine.
My gym time is limited, I have extremely bad mommy guilt as well as wife guilt, I HATE to leave my family, I know that working out will hopefully prolong my life, and show the kids how to be a great example!

I weighed on Tuesday (I always weigh at the dr.'s office inside my work) and it showed a 2 ounce loss, I was bummed but I know that I'm not going to be dropping the numbers like crazy each week, so I figured by this Friday it would be down a whole pound, I weighed again on Wed. and it said another -2.4 loss! So that's a total of -2.6 for this week! I'M STOKED!!! That's a great loss, so my total weight loss from my heaviest until now is 29 lbs, my bestie said I can't count being pregnant as my highest weight, but I only gained 9 pounds the whole pregnancy! I am now 6 pounds from being the smallest I've been since Oct 2011, so I will hit that goal again very soon, hopefully by Oct. 1!

So I have been jogging around 8-9 weeks now on the treadmill at the gym, I thought for sure after 3-4 weeks I could up my mileage, around week 2, I was able to jog a mile, and had got up to jogging 18 mins. straight, then it seemed like my body shut down, I know it's a mental, but I surely couldn't run more then my one mile, so I was mad on Tuesday night, so I thought to myself, I'm going to push it tonight and get in 1.5 miles, and I did!

I'm going to have to buy myself a few magazines, I've been a member at this gym for over a year and they have the same ones, and I'm sick of them! I think if I can read something good, it will distract me from getting bored!

See for yourself....

I know it says 1.46 but I assure I started it again and ran the .04 to make it 1.5! The treadmill messed up when I started it, and I just put in the 22 mins. knowing I'd stop around 16 mins, so I didn't care it made me set the time, typically I just turn it on manual and go with it, but I couldn't this time!

And that's the hot mess I looked like when I jumped off the treadmill, I'm not going to lie, it felt good, I had that "runner's high" I really did, that's the 2nd time I've felt that!

It has taken me 8 weeks to be able to go from 1 mile to 1.5 miles, I know it's crazy, but that's just how it is for me! And it's working with my exercise, so the numbers are going down!

The MFP congratulated me when I typed in my -2.6 weight loss this week then it said it would re-program my fitness plan, it dropped me from 1300 calories to 1220! Sheesh, I wasn't expecting that!

In the picture above I'm wearing the hubs size L tee shirt, I hate size larges, they are too tight and clingy, so I always buy a XL for shirts, and now they look sloppy, ha! I'm pretty sure he isn't going to like me wearing his shirts all the time! Sorry babe, I apologize in advance!

My clothes are starting to look sloppy, but I'm not really able to buy a size down either, so I guess I have to wear them sloppy for awhile, my pants today were big all over, which is great, but I hate to look sloppy for sure!

Excited to see where I'm at on the scale at the end of the month!
