Slow, But Sure....

Its Monday everyone !  Hope you all had a fantastic weekend, we sure did!
We spend a lot of hours outdoors all weekend long.  Played a few games of baseball with Bart and the kids this weekend, IT WAS A BLAST.  Bart would chuckle at me running the bases because my legs have been so sore from my speed/tempo work.  That's okay, I didn't mind I still had so much fun even tho!

Well, I'm still sitting at my 16 pound weight loss story, BUT.....its really okay.  I am hanging strong working through my running &exercise routines.  I don't think I'm eating the best right now because we are so busy with Lex having softball games, practices that I'm not paying attention to just how many bites I am eating of everything.  I'm trying, and I say trying to stay away from sugar.  I do allow myself some kind of sweet treat at least everyday, I wonder if I'm hurting myself by doing this.  I've got to keep going tho, I will not let this weight rent my body (as I said in the past) for another whole year. 

My big goal is to have most of it off by the time I run my half marathon in October, which gives me about 5 1/2 months.  I have been, up until a few weeks ago, been regularly losing about 2-3 pounds per week.  For some reason I am stuck hovering over my same weight, but its really okay because I am still working hard, and eating healthy almost 90% of the time.   

Last week I started to walk with Bart...(more like speed walk, he walks sooooo fast!) for about 3-4 miles per day.  Then at night I would run my normal 3-5 mile routes.  Yes, it is a lot of work!  When someone says, "Weight Loss Is Hard Work"...I completely, and totally agree with them!  I just know what I want....and it may take almost a year to get all my weight off that I would like to, but I'm going to just keep working.

Today is Monday at 12:45 pm I just finished running my 5 miler, then Bart came home from work around 10:30 and asked if I would walk with him, so we did a 4 mile power walk.  So proud of myself that I'm keeping up with the momentum and knowing that I'm one day closer to being healthy.  I'm going to continue to kick myself in the butt everyday 'til I get down to a healthy weight for my body.  Have a great day everyone !
