The end of our first 3-month weight loss goal is very near. Next sunday to be exact. Now, I'll be weighing tomorrow and I may or may not have lost weight, I'm not sure. I've been good but it is the month of Halloween and I'll be darned if I can't keep my hand out of our candy bowl at work. But as it stands now, I still have five more pounds to lose to meet my goal.
Five pounds in 8 days.
Nothing like waiting til the last minute, Caitrin.
It's all good though. I work better under pressure. I went grocery shopping today and bought good stuff for this week. We're staying away from sugar and carbs. I'm hoping that will give me the edge I need to get rid of these final pounds.
What happens next sunday after our goal has been reached? We start our second 20lb weight loss goal! This one will last until January 21st and I imagine it will be really hard for us, especially with the holidays coming up. But it will be the most rewarding if we can go through with it.
I'm pretty proud of myself. I've been jogging and it seems each day I get better at it and am able to last longer before stopping and walking. My shins are killing me but.... no pain, no gain. Right? Oh and I did some killer sit-ups a few days ago and I've been sore ever since. I can't laugh, sit up, press down on my gas pedal - nothing. IT HURTS.
We've had storms all day so around 630, when there was finally a break in the clouds, I headed up to the lake and went jogging. Here's a photo of the sunset:
And here's a photo of the massive storm heading my way that caused me to run faster than I normally would:
You'll be happy to know I made it back to my car without getting poured on or struck by lightening. I did, however, get attacked by a lot of scary bugs.
I'm spending the remainder of my evening downloading new jogging songs. Then I'll go to bed. And then we'll wake up and weigh-in. I'm a little anxious about that. I'll let you all know how it goes!
