just a weekend check in!

So I’m down four more pounds. Total of  33 pounds. Can I get a whoop whoop?!

People have been asking why I, all of a sudden, started posting about my weight loss on facebook and making my blog public. Well, the truth of the matter is that I don’t want to explain why I quit. By making my goals, progress, failures, etc very public I am held accountable by everyone who sees it. If someone asks me how the running is going, I can truthfully tell them how well, or bad, it is going. I’m driven to constantly be working so that I don’t ever have to say “oh I gave up  because it was too hard.” Sooo, I’m going to keep posting to facebook. I’m going to keep writing blog posts. I’m going to keep going and working my tail off, because one day I’ll meet my goal and it will all be worth it. Haters gonna hate. Lovers gonna love. Encouragers gonna keep on encouraging! 

This week has been a rollercoaster of everything. My emotions were all over the map. My workouts were all over the place. I just couldn’t get in the grove. I wasn’t feeling my regular walking/jogging route. I wasn’t digging on the treadmill. I was busy making candy for a fund raiser. Silas (my biggest little) is going through some kind of separation anxiety, terrible twos right before he turns three thing. Speaking of him turning three, that happens tomorrow and I’ve been all hormonal about it. So basically I’ve been salivating over the candy I’ve been making and wanting to stress eat it. 

BUT, I got new shoes. Bright pink, awesome, make me happy running shoes. I splurged on a good pair of running shoes and they really are awesome. They are much lighter than my previous shoes, but have a ton more cushion and support. So I’m happy. I tried them out the other day during one of my no-run days. I walked for a bit and did jog for about a quarter of a mile just to get a feel for them. So here’s to Monday morning be awesome with brand new kicks!
