The Good the Bad and Next Plan!!!!

The GOOD-
They always say you should start with something positive so that's what I will do! My running lately has been great. I have consistently run at least 3 runs a week for over 90 days. Two of those runs are always 4 miles and the other is at least 8 unless I have run a race that weekend. My past 2 long runs have been amazing! While at home for Easter I ran 10.4 in 1:55 and this weekend I ran 10.18 in 1:44 (I think). I feel like I can finally call myself a runner. For so long I was always striving to be one of those women, one of those runners, and the one that can do that! I think I finally can. It is amazing to me how others see me as a runner and I just don't yet...well didn't until very recently!

Another good would have to be my weight, I am in the 160's! Someone pinch me please I never thought I would see a 1and a 6 in my weight! It is amazing to see my body change as the weight is coming off! One of my primary goals as I began to loose weight was that I wanted to be able to walk into Abercrombie or Hollister and wear a pair of jeans...over Easter break I bought a pair of skinny jeans from Hollister!! Whoop Whoop... Now let me be honest her they are a bit tight and I am not ready to wear them until I hit my 70 pound goal. So depending on the day is anywhere between 2 and 5 pounds away! When the scale reads 162 I am wearing those suckers!! Obviously another good is winning the fittest loser at the gym :)

The BAD-
It seems that after I reach a big goal or accomplish something wonderful I screw myself up! For example yesterday...ok not just yesterday.... About 2 or 3 days a week I have been eating everything in sight! What in the world is my problem?!?! I mean I understand for my birthdays but that was April 6th, so what is my excuse 10 days later?!? I feel like I do this every time and I need STOP IT!!

My stomach...yep I said it!!! It is bad, it is the freaking muffin top that I still have hanging over my pants! Yes it is much smaller that before but I want it gone! I want the stupid thing to just disappear!! It is what I am most self conscious about and what I dread seeing!

My weight- yes I have a bad about my weight! Since weighing in for the biggest loser on April 2nd my weight has been fluctuating between 163 and 167.....seriously 4 pounds! I have no one to blame but me based on the way I have been eating buy it just sucks!

The PLAN-
The plan is to keep doing what I've been doing but do it better!! Wasn't that a great sentence :) I want to be sure I am counting all of my points everyday! I have a tendency to count them during the week because I eat mainly the same thing things everyday! Then the weekend hits and bam I'm terrible! So back on tack with counting! I'm going to do no fried foods until the last day of school!! And add back in more protein. I was doing well with my protein then I let that slip. I alway want to make sure I eat well the weekend of the half, I don't want to blow that days hard work by eating all crazy! So I have a plan and I can do it.....I think I can I think I can!!!
