Friday July 9th

This past Sunday I ran my first 16 miles! It was awesome. I felt great! I still can't believe that I did the full 16 without any walking! It was great to accomplish as it really made me feel like I will really be able to get to 26.2! The marathon my friend Amanda and I will be doing is still not decided. Hoping for the weekend of December 5th. Could be Vegas could be Memphis it's still up in the air. But I think I will for sure be ready! I have 160 miles planned for the month of July! So far so good. I don't go up in miles again until August when I do my first 18 mile run! That sounds SOOOO far lol! I hope that by then I will have a good idea about what pace I am working towards for the marathon. I think I would be happy completing my fist marathon under 4hrs 20 mins. I was hoping for under 4 hours but I don't know if I can be ready for that by December. Maybe I will shoot for that in 2011!

Otherwise not too bad of a week. My schedule was off quite a bit with Steve being out of town again. I couldn't seem to sleep very well through the night keeping me pretty tired through out the day. Did quite a bit of junk food snacking after receiving a care package from home. However I still managed to lose a pound! :o) I am getting so close to my goals yet some parts of me I am thinking it's going to take a little longer then expected.

I am a fan of Jillian Michaels as everyone pretty much knows. This week I will be jumping up a level in my workouts with her. Still same amount of days just workouts should be a tougher which will be great. I have been feeling like these workouts I am currently on are a little too easy. It's game face time! I also just got some whey protein today! Which I plan on taking at least 5 days a week after each run. The most important thing I am looking for is the Amino Acids it provides. Amino acid helps to repair skin, bones and muscles! Hopefully this will help my muscles recovery quickly as well as help my skin and muscle to tone up getting rid of this sagging!


Today I spent the day with a new friend. We met a few months ago during a photoshoot and today was our first official outing! We had so much fun my cheeks hurt from laughing so much. She has the most adorable baby I have ever seen. Anyways... I went with her to base today and she had to make a quick stop to a derm doc. Before she went in her and I were discussing my arm situation. I was wondering how I would know whether what I have is fat on my arms or extra skin tissue. She asked the doctor and looks like what I have is still arm fat. Which surprisingly makes me more happy! lol At least I know if I keep working at it there is a better chance of toning them up!

Just realized I got off track about Jillian Michaels.. she has a product out called Fat Burner. Its apparently an all natural dietary supplement that will help me loss fat mass, release fat from mature fat cells. There are 56 tablets so it will last me about 2-3 weeks. So we will see if it does anything. Hopefully it will help some of these fat cells to move out quicker. I wasn't going to try any of these gimic fat burners but this one being natural extracts and by Jillian Michaels I trust it!

Hopefully these small changes over the next 2-3 weeks will help me shed the 6-8 pounds I am looking to shed by the 30th.

Honestly though while I am going to give it 110% if I can't quite get where I want to be by the 30th. It's okay! It's not like it stops here. I am still training for the marathon and going to continue a healthy way of living for the rest of my life. Feeling pretty amazing right now! :o)

205 pounds 

Bust 43 (Lost 10 inches)

Belly 42 (Lost 10 inches)

Hips 45 (Lost 8.5 inches)

I have got 7 more pounds, 1.5-2 inches around the waist, .5 around the hips, 2 inches around the belly and and couple inches around the thighs and arms to go! Seems like so little now compared to 10-12 inches I have already lost in some areas!


Lots going on over the next couple weeks with photoshoots I am going to work extra hard to complete all of my workouts and hopefully the shoots will just help the process! You would think it would be great for the arms carrying a 7 pound camera for a few hours! :o)


Have a great week everyone!
