Sack of Taters

I am writing this blog today with a HUGE SMILE ON MY FACE!!!!  I have really buckled down this week.  I worked out 5 of the 7 days...which is a big deal.  A couple of nights I didn't get home until after 9:30 p.m. and when you leave your house at 7:30 a.m. that is a big deal.  I had my weekly weigh in tonight.  After last week and my REALITY CHECK I was excited to weigh.  I knew that I had done everything that I was supposed to do this week to have positive results tonight. I am happy to report that I lost......6 POUNDS THIS WEEK!!!!  I am not allowing myself to think about how much weight that I have to lose...instead I am enjoying my accomplishment.  Have you ever carried around a sack of potatoes??? It gets heavy...well I just lost a sack of potatoes plus one pound!! :) 

I have REALLY buckled down this week.  Our runs are to the point of NO WALKS.  I never thought I would be able to run for 25 minutes straight...but I did last night.  I am excited and nervous about our 5k.  It is in 3 weeks.  My goal now is to try to work on my speed.  I am not concerned with finishing the race...I am however concerned with being the last one to cross the finish line.  I am excited about my next week on my weight loss journey.  Hopefully next week I will have an awesome weight loss again.  It does pay to track what you put in your body.  Look out JHud...I am going to knock your weight loss out of the park!! :)
