Catch Up

Not mustard.  But I do love mustard.

What's new?  Still down lots 'o pounds and loving it.  I am about 180 now which still sounds yucky but considering I came down from 204, I'm perty happy with that.

Speaking of happy, we're pregnant.  And feeling pregnant.  I've been enjoying the smorgasbord of pregnancy symptoms but thankfully without actually vomiting.  Tomorrow I start my eighth week.  So still really early.  But further than I made it last time.  I'm taking that as a good sign.

I'll eventually get back to blogging, if I can keep my eyes open for long enough.  Speaking of which, nighty night.

Blogging

I can't quite seem to find the time or energy to really blog.  But I'm still here.  This weekend is my yoga retreat; I'm so looking forward to it.

I lost 2 more pounds this week.  12 more to go.
I'm using an app, My Fitness Pal, that tracks my calorie intake.  Today it told me that if everyday was like today, I'd be down to 165 by November 5.  That's 5 less than my goal weight.  Not sure if I can swing that but man, that number sounds amazing!

Happy weekend!

And Then Some

Today my post is brought to you by Haiku:

To lose weight I must
Do no plateau, that's a shame
Two point five more down.

Goal One

I met my first goal this week.  I have now lost 20 pounds.  Seems strange considering even though clothing fits way differently, I often still see my +20 pound self.

Goal two is -10 more pounds.  Final goal, for now, is -14 pounds.

Tomorrow I run my first solo 5k.  I'm worried for a couple of reasons.  I got sick last week and took the entire week off (except for walking the dogs).  AF is in town, which always makes my runs harder.  Darn hormones.  And finally, my running partner is not doing this race.  We make a good team.  She pushes me at the beginning and I push her at the end.  I want to be able to push myself the entire time.  I can do it.  I just have to.
