The other awesome thing is the motivation. I sit down at the end of the day to enter my final totals and think OH DEAR!!! I have eaten 50 extra calories, or I'm only 50 calories shy... what if I forgot something? THEN... I say to my husband... MUST GO RUNNING!!! MUST BURN CALORIES!!!
I've discovered that I can avoid traffic by running switch backs up and down the streets in my area. I end up about 12 blocks west of my house but have managed to get a few miles out of the switch backs.... this is also only going one block north and one block south of my street! NOT TOO SHABBY!! I've also noticed that I run a WHOLE LOT FASTER when I am on the streets. The treadmill seems to slow me down. One more thing... I run at dusk... which encourages me to "run faster to get home before dark!"
I've got to the gym twice this week and worked on my arms. I need to be better at going... it's frustrating to get there and not really know what to do as far as weight training goes. Wish I had a trainer... just can't afford it! Maybe I can get my BFF's hubby to come and give me a list again! HE IS AWESOME! (And a personal trainer... if only he weren't an hour away!)
This week I had the opportunity to go out with a couple of gals from the Biggest Loser comp AND my 2 sisters. We took some pics....
This picture brings me to my newest issue. It seems that my mid section is getting bigger somehow. I continue to lose weight BUT I swear my tummy looks bigger. I'd like to think that it is just shrinking at a different rate than the rest of me and this is why I have this lovely muffin top but honestly... I just don't know how to deal with it. ANY SUGGESTIONS??

i just want to say that you look great and have done an awesome job @ your weightloss! congrats!
Hey! It's been about a month since I checked in with you last (or at least it seems like it's been that long). Dang girl, you are still going strong! Coming up on 120's!! From a D to an A! Down to a 6! Smalls & xs's! Wow! 60 pounds! You have got to be feeling on top of the world! You look amazing. Way to go!!!
I think I'm going to check out livestrong.com. I've completely lost focus, and I know that I have no excuse except for sheer laziness. You are looking great (wish I could say the same for myself). I'd say that I would join in the other competion you are in, but sadly I am so beyond broke that I couldn't even fathom where I would get the money from to join in. I still will try to keep my blog updated though :o) love ya!
