Back on the wagon

I think. The past few weeks have not been good. I started getting a little careless with my eating. The running has still been going well, last week I ran 6 miles in 58 minutes!! I made my April goal! This week at school we had our Shakespeare performances (which were awesome, by the way) so by the time I got home each day I was exhausted! That, combined with a stressful week and the onset of a cold made me lazy. I didn't run once. Chris and I did go out for a walk/hike one day though.
When I weighed myself this morning I was at 148.8. Not good. Starting this week I am back at it and if I am not down a pound then next week I will be blogging daily about everything I eat. So wish me luck!

Great news!

Well, my goal of making dinner Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is shot. How is that good news? Because we have been up at the hospital each night! Still not getting it? Well Sunday night Carrie's water broke and Monday morning Camryn Addison Bostrom was born! She is perfect! Anyways, my parents were supposed to be gone all week and, since it is spring break for me, it was supposed to be a relatively boring week. That was how I was going to fit in lots of work outs and dinner-making. It ends up that this week has been anything but boring. I still have gotten in some good exercise so hopefully this week won't be horrible when I get on the scale tomorrow!

Week 8

As of Friday I am down to 146.6! And its good to be back! Now I just can't go back up. This coming week I am on Spring Break so I will have plenty of time to exercise and make dinner. My goal is to make dinner Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. On Thursday Chris and I are taking a weekend vacation to Casper, WY so this weekend will be a real test as far as eating and exercise goes. Wish me luck this week!
I realize this blog is pretty boring to most people because my weight loss is slow and, some weeks, nonexistent. But for me this blog has made a huge difference. When I write my exercise and eating goals it gives me a lot of motivation to know I can blog about it when I accomplish the goals. The fact that I have stuck to it for 8 months is huge. It hasn't been tough most of the time but I have had moments where I just wanted to lay down on the couch with a box of girl scout cookies and skip the gym. But knowing I would have to face (and blog about) the results has gotten my butt out the door. So thank you to my three followers for giving me extra motivation!
