It has been a great few weeks. I weighed in this morning and was at 173.4- 1.4 pounds away from 60 big ones! That seems totally unbelievable! It is such hard work I would be lying if I said that this was an easy process. It is one of the hardest things I have ever done but the most rewarded too. This is a process is a life change. Running has truly become part of me and something that I love and enjoy. I have been running about 14miles a week. Yesterday was my long run and I hit 8 miles. I was a little sore yesterday and was completely dreading how I would feel today but I feel great! I am in such better shape this year than I was last year at this time. I am starting to think that I will be able to really knock some time off of my half marathon this year.
I know that I say this a lot but I can not express how important having a great group of friends around me has been through this process. So many people encourage me, push me through another mile, tell me to put the cookie down, and tell me I look great when all I think, is that I look HUGE!
Eating is still my biggest down fall. I exercise and run all the time. I am fine if I pack my lunch or go somewhere I know. When I am put in “appetizer- get together” situations I suck. I was hoping it was no longer an issue but it is. It is just hard to say no when I know how good it tastes. It seems that as long as I can control the situation I am fine and when I go somewhere where I am not in control of the food I blow it. That is my new goal- to be better at not aimlessly snacking at places.
