Happy hump day 
Things have been good. Yesterday I was super sore still from leg day Sunday, so I actually took it easy and just did a 2 mile run. The first mile was rough… my muscles were kind of pissed off that I was running…. But after the first mile id say, they loosened up and actually felt better than they did before I ran….
I need to get better at stretching, especially after exercising… its something a lot of times I find myself skimping on or skipping entirely. I know its very important and would help my sore body after working out if I did it more frequently…. Or actually EVERYTIME I finish working out.
Food intake has been fine lately. Just for shits and giggles I will post yesterday’s food intake:
Breakfast: 1.5 lg cups of coffee ( w/ sugar free cream and splenda), kashi warm cinnamon ceral with skim milk
Lunch: 6 inch whole grain wheat subway turkey and ham sub, yogurt, sm. Golden delicious apple
Snack 3:30- 3 pretzel rods w/ 1 tbsp peanut butter, decaf hot tea
Snack 4:30- handful of walnut pieces
Snack 6:30- 2 slices of sharp cheese, 5 pepperonis
Dinner- Meatloaf ( homemade ? ), 2 portabella mushrooms- ( stuffed with fresh spinach, red pepper, 2% mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, and 3 tbsp zesty Italian dressing.
Coke zero
The last two days I have maintained my weight at 122!!! ? Yesterday I was 122.4 and today I was 122.6 … I am so very happy about that!!! I feel great and I am starting to feel like I look great! I have 5 lbs that I want to lose. I would really like to be 117…. That is my new goal overall… then its maintaining from there! My goal for the end of the year is to get to 120. Its really hard for me to lose weight now that I am so close to my goal… so those two pounds are going to be rough… especially thinking about the fact that I was maintaining between 124-129 from July until a week ago!
Most important to me now is just staying fit and keeping up with my workouts and healthy lifestyle! I cannot believe in two months it will have been one FULL AND ENITRE YEAR since I started all of this healthy living. It has SO changed my life… its incredible.
Some may look at me and think… well she only lost 31 lbs… what’s the big deal….. its not like she was obese and got to her goal….. but to me… I conquered a problem that I felt I had… and it’s a HUGE deal. It’s the one thing I am MOST proud of about myself. Not only did I make a promise to myself… I made it known to my family and friends what I planned to do, I put a plan in place…. And I did it!!! Another cool thing is I have made new friends who have the SAME goals as me now too. Its so fun to talk to the one girl I have gotten to know… we have things in common. The struggles we face each day, the criticism coworkers bring out way… making goals… pushing each other… its awesome. Its sad because I lost some along the way…. And I am not sure why exactly….. some were losing weight on prescription drugs and abusing them… and others I guess I grew apart from because we didn’t have much in common other than going out for greasy food and drinking beers. While I guess that’s a little sad…. I am so much happier now in my life… with my boyfriend, and most importantly with myself.
I see this coming year being another HUGE transformation in my life. I am planning for a half marathon in march… a full marathon beginning of summer…. And who know what else may come my way. Im not sure the worlds ready for me yet hehehe.
Love you all…. You are the best <3 thanks for reading.
