I am so happy to see everyone is still in this and losing weight and getting re motivated. I thought everyone had just said forget it during the month of February. I didn't exactly say forget it in February but I didn't reach my goal of 10 pounds. I actually only lost 2.5lbs the whole month. I really have no excuse except I didn't journal like I should. Last week I weighed and I was up 6 pounds which really freaked me out, but this morning I weighed and I'm down to 184.6lbs. I'm down a total of 12lbs. I'm thrilled with the number even though I wanted more, but I can't expect big #'s if I'm not doing to work. We have 2 more months until final weigh-in for the challenge and I'm going to really focus these months.
I ran my first 1/2 marathon on Saturday. It went well most of the way. It was really windy for the last 6 miles, so it felt like at times I was hardly moving the wind was blowing so hard. I felt like I was running with someone pulling be backwards at the same time. I finished and we had a really fun girl's day with my sister-in-law and friends. I'm prepping now for the SLC 1/2 marathon which is 7 weeks away. I can't wait for it because I'm going to be without kids for 4 days. I have not been away from both my girls over night ever, so I'm excited to get a few days to myself but also a little sad to be away from them. Keep up the good work everyone.
