So the hubby just headed out with Ian for a bit, and the baby is actually content in his swing for the moment so I thought I would try a quick update. This week has been so crazy...I've been meaning to get on and post but the days have just flown by this week.
First, the frustrating. I am STILL sitting at around 202. Grrrrr! I feel like my body is absolutely refusing to go under 200. I have done pretty awesome this week but no dice. My trainer friends go on vacation on Tuesday and I really really wanted to be under by the time they leave but I don't see it. I will tell you, if I'm not under 200 by the time they get back I will be a raging lunatic (more than normal haha). But I am SURE I will be. I am drinking so much water I am going to float away, I've had some AWESOME workouts and my food has been pretty great. I know it will happen...hopefully this stall is just a sign of a BIG drop coming....the 90 day has exactly 4 weeks left from today so hopefully in the next couple days my body will realize what it's supposed to be doing here and I'll see the WOOSH in the scale that I've been waiting for. (thanks for the term Desiree' ! :) I can't be TOO upset about the weight though because....
my clothes are fitting awesome!!! Yesterday I was so excited...I wore a 14/16 shirt that was totally comfy and not even form fitting and my new size 16 jeans...and they were almost loose!! I can't even believe it. So even though my numbers are being stubborn I know I am making progress. It feels so good to put on an outfit and actually not hate how I look. Not at all saying that happens every day, but when it does it feel so amazing!
So Monday Jami and I headed outside for my cardio workout. We ended up trying my first outdoor 5k (at least my first one in a looonnnngggg time LOL) and I did it!! It took me 42:48 but I did it! And that is a lot quicker than my normal just over 45 that it takes me on the treadmill. Having Jami there DEFINITELY saved me because it was rough. She kept us on a relatively flat route but there were still some small hills and some wind, and it was definitely WAYYY different from my normal 1% incline, set pace run, inside. And another small victory on that front...I did it without my music! We both brought headphones in case I needed the push but I ended up not even getting them out. It was awesome. :) The first mile I really didn't think I was going to be able to do it but once I got over that hump it was good! Jami is definitely a wonderful cheerleader...I probably would have just said screw it if she weren't there pushing me. It made me realize how much I really miss running outside. The weather is finally starting to be a bit nicer...I'm looking forward to a spring and summer of nice pretty outside runs!
I can't believe I managed to get this down without Luke waking up. Off to try to get something else accomplished. Have a great weekend friends!!
