Friday, Friday, Friday!!

Only 2 more Fridays until the big 30! My emotions about the day have been up and down. We just booked our hut (room) whatever it is on Mt Fuji on the 29th. We will climb a little more then half way I think stay in the hut for a few hours until about 2 am when we will continue up Fuji in the dark to get to the top for sunrise on my Birthday! I am really excited about this. Over the last couple weeks we have been working out the plans/details. We just need to pick up a few little things this weekend and besides snacks we are all set! I think I will probably hit up a base friend to help me get some good snacks the week of! :o)

I have a crazy busy 1 1/2 leading up to my birthday! I think I have 9-10 photoshoots! Hopefully I will be able to get my workouts in! However shooting in this weather is by far a workout in it self. Yesterday I had 2 shoots back to back as well as ran 10 miles before that! I had weighed myself in the morning and by the time I got back from the shoot I had lost just over 4 pounds!! Holy moly! That was mostly water weight so this morning much of that is back!

This week I only lost .5 pounds. I have been slacking on keeping track of my in/outs. But Ill will start back up today. I really want to achieve my goal and at the end of the week I want to be able to look back and not say hmmm I wonder why I only lost .5 pounds. I do however somewhat think that it's not getting to those last 10 pounds which everyone claims to be the absolute hardest to lose. I don't know that I can lose another 6.5 pounds before the 30th. Steve says that you will lose about 5 pounds climbing up. Soooo maybe I only need to lose 1.5! lol I have been starting to feel really great. Even though the main areas I am measuring are not going down all that much I am for sure noticing a difference in other areas! I think at this point the only thing I am really hating are my arms still.  Everything just needs to be toned up. And I think this will take longer then 2 weeks and I am okay with that. At least I have gotten my weight down to where I want it and am feeling pretty good!!

2nd week of August is Obon week! We will be heading down to Izu Peninsula (not too far away) with a work friend of Steves. There is nice white sand beaches there I guess and we will apparently be learning to surf. Or at least Steve will! It sounds really fun but I am so afraid of what is lurking in the waters. Sorry but I have seen a lifetimes worth of Jelly fish in the waters here as well as many different things in the grocery stores that I am afraid to go in the water here. I may just be sitting on the beach taking photos instead and working on a tan! lol I would love to get up enough courage to get out there so we will see. :o) Anywho... I have a little less then a month before I will be in a bikini!!! Wish me luck!
