Let's get the piddly stuff out of the way, the weigh in for this week. Not so good this week, but I had a good loss last week so I'm not too worried about the ebb this week.
Loss this week: +0.5 lbs
Total loss for challenge: -5.25 lbs
It's gonna be a tough weekend, we are going to Pittsburgh and will be partaking in some not so healthy food, but its a birthday celebration so I'm not too worried about it. I will be burning some calories walking around IKEA, so I'm pretty excited about that exercise. Am taking a day off from C25K today but will pick up again tomorrow.
Keeping with a tradition that I started last year, I took my birthday picture to compare my progress over the last year. Not as much change from 2008-2009, but do you notice any change?
I looked back to my journals and as of this morning, I am actually 12 lbs heavier then I was at my last birthday! 12 lbs! Wow...I didn't think it was that much of a difference but the old blog posts don't lie. Looking at my pictures, I feel like my legs are smaller but I've lost a little definition in my waist.
Last year I I was doing the 30 day Shred and this year I'm turning into a runner and am ready to start C25K Week 4. Last year I was still on birth control and this year I am in the midst of Operation Babybug. Last year my heart was heavy without my mom, this year it is full because of the memories of her singing birthday phone calls. Last year I was just new to Shrinking Jeans and rarely knew any of the Sisters. This year, they have become real friends and have been so supportive and uplifting as I continue my journey to being the best ladybug I can be!
My blog has become such an important part of my life, and I am blessed to have such good women in my life to help make it thru those frustrating days. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You have helped to make it a great year...and I know the next one will be even better!
{Oh and if anyone is interested, there are a few things left on my birthday list. (Picnik Premium, 50mm prime lens, new wardrobe of workout clothes, and some IKEA giftcards to use this weekend) mkay, thanks!}
