I'm Back!

Well, it didn't take me long to fall of the ban wagon for tracking food and blogging.. but didn't take me long to get back. I had a very busy week with photoshoots, processing photos, working out, running and  making time for Steve that by the time I could sit and log/blog I was just too tired. But I can find the time! So I am back starting today. Every Friday is weight in day! This week I felt like I did bad with food, we had Friday's one night, pizza another, I had ice cream and chips and popcorn oh my! lol

However I still managed to make some progress! Probably all the extra activity! I was also able to complete all of my workouts and miles! IF the rain can hold off for just a little bit this weekend early mornings I have another 20miles to do this weekend. Also this weekend we are heading to the Nike store in Tokyo. I want to see if they have the new Nike+ heart rate strap that connects to your nike runs and ipod.  Also I need to look at possibly a new pair of shoes. Which is an extreme bummer since I just got new ones. However they are too small. My toenail is barely even growing in yet and it's already black again. We are also going to go buy a new scale ours is super cheap and I just want to make sure the numbers are accurate.

So tonight I will have an in/out blog and getting back on track with this!

Found some original measurements-(These measurements were taken after I started trying to lose weight. So measurements were probably even higher at some point)

205 pounds 

Bust 43 (Lost 9 inches)

Waist 39 (Lost 10.5 inches)

Belly 42 (Lost 8.5 inches)

Hips 45 (Lost 8.5 inches)

Bicep 14.5 (Lost 4 inches)

Thigh 27 (Lost 6 inches)

Wow that's a lot of inches! :o) Can't believe that I was even more than this. I know once I got up to 209-210 I stopped weighting myself. So I could have easily gotten up to 220. I don't think it was ever more than that. And now I just hit 139!! Which means potentially could have lost about 75-80 pounds!

Its been getting harder and harder. The better I feel and the closer I get the more I just want to slow down. You would think it would be the other way around. And some days it is. Some days I feel really great and excited. Some days I look in the mirror and all I see is 200 pound girl. It's really weird that I know what size I am, I know how much I weight and yet I look in the mirror and don't see the change. And then there is other days I look in the mirror and see who I am now. I guess it just depends on the day. Sometimes I feel like I just have so much more to go. Do I?? I sometimes wonder how someone else sees me.. And I want to be healthier and I know I have more to go on that. I want to be able to run the marathon and in good time and so that's what keeps me going. Ill feel accomplished once I have met both my weight and health goals and can maintain them!

I know that I always sound happy to have completed miles and workouts and it probably seems like its so easy. But in reality it's not. Ill say it again with a little laugh in my voice "It's NOT!" lol
My muscles are sore and tired pretty much all day everyday. Sometimes it's hard to put on my running shoes because I just don't want to. It will be such a relief to finally get to where I am going so that I can do this stuff strictly to maintain and for FUN!! lol I know that it's worth it and I know that I can't take a break now. If I slow down or cut down then Ill lose the battle. It's like when I do a long run. It's easier for me to just keep going and no walking. If I walk then I know how much harder it is to start running again, and then I want to stop and take another break because it was so easy to just stop. So I just keep going. :o)

Well my babbling is over for the day.... :o)
Thanks for reading!
