Long Time, No Blog

Okay way over due update! 


I have started a new dietbet and I am determined to get down to my goal at least 4 days before its due date!  Waiting till the last minute and having to hardcore diet makes me want to be very bad right after the dietbet is over.  I have 22 days to lose 5lbs.  No problem right?  With family visiting this week and a bachelorette party this weekend this is going to be difficult.  But the dietbet is always in the back of my mind helping me make good decisions or at least second guessing my decisions. 


I ran my first virtual 5k this weekend!  I did the Shamrock Shuffle with the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans.  Its was a beautiful morning and I got a medal and t-shirt with the registration!  I think I am going to start a new goal of a 10k next week because 3 miles is getting easier and easier! 


Fitbit Update:  I did not do so well with this weekly stat.  I was training in Austin and then also trying to keep up with work and slacked with my fitness.

I am feeling better and stronger each day!  I will get another weekly update tomorrow and will try post soon after.  Yesterday I got over 20,000 steps in so my next weekly stat update will be much better! 


Speaking of shrinking jeans...So in the last month or so I have gone from having 4 jeans that fit to having 7!  I can fit into my old jeans again!  I am really happy that I did not get rid of them now which I struggled with almost a year ago.  I am sad now that I got rid of some old shorts now!  I have never been a fan of how my legs look but as I got older I have accepted it and now that I am getting healthier and more fit, I feel even better about wearing shorts!  But now all my shorts are getting too big!  Its a great feeling but now is the struggle of "do I buy new shorts even though I am still pretty far from my goal weight?" or "should I just live with my oversized clothes till I get down another 20 lbs?"  Oh the struggles of weight loss...these are struggles that I am happy with! not the other way around!
