Summer was great fun this year, we spent most of it on vacation in one place or another and in the end I ended up putting on some unwanted weight...
When the kids went back to school I decided to get my bootie in gear, start eating healthier and try to lose some weight. Between eating better and running 4 miles a day/3 days a week I was able to lose 15 pounds in only 6 weeks which I was VERY excited about!
THEN... I got sick and had to quit exercising :(
THEN... I finally started to feel better and was going to get back on track and my neck seized up like it did about a year ago. I ended up spending a full week in bed. Without being able to exercise and eating like crap during that time I fully expected to have put some of the weight back on and start back up again when I got better.
WELL... Kenny and I went running last night, it was the first time I had been able to run in 3 weeks! I did great, I only went 2.25 miles but it was a good run. I'm so glad to be getting back on track.
The BEST part... My body actually maintained my weight loss over the past 3 weeks so I don't even have to back track like I thought I would have to. I can just get back on track with eating better and continue the exercise and hopefully I'll start losing weight again. I would love to lose another 15 pounds. Of course Kenny thinks that's too much but I think it'll be perfect. I'm actually very happy with my body right now, my clothes are fitting so comfortably it makes me feel so skinny when I get dressed, it makes me smile every morning! But I'm a girl and I always want a little more if I can get it. So I'm shooting for another 15 pounds. The other reason I'd love to lose the additional weight is so that when we go on our trip/cruise in March I won't have to worry about putting on too much weight while I'm on vacation ;)
