Month: June 2010

No spanx required. I thought about wearing them, but it’s so hot out today that I’d really rather not. I think I look cute, although I’m pretty sure my macbook camera has like built-in photoshop because somehow the pictures look better than I think I do and I didn’t like picking out the good ones, I just took a few and threw them on here…we’ll see. However I can promise you my chub or jelly to quote Beyonce is waaaay less cute in the seated position.

Maybe I’ll be brave enough soon to take some pictures in my undies and chronicle weight loss/body change – I really wish I had done that from the start, but I still have a long way to go and once I hit my GW and UGW it will still be excellent to see the progress

All this running is really paying off in the leg department. That’s the only part of my body I’ve been getting comments about lately. I used HATE wearing shorts, but for work in the summer I have to and I’ve come to embrace my legs. Tonight I thought I’d pair my shorts with some wedges another thing I NEVER wear because I’m so self conscious about my height. 

World meet the new me, a girl who wears shorts and heels freely 🙂

So I’m a huge music snob buff connoisseur and I haven’t really featured too much music on here. I’m going to try and get better about that. I’m also STILL WAITING for you guys to submit your favorite work out song – I’ve only heard from like FIVE of you.

Anyway here is Head Automatica’s “Beating Heart Baby” – It’s been a gym favorite since 2006.

I’m psuedo mad at myself for eating after 9pm the past two days. I’ve been really good the past few months, but its been hard since I run an orientation program and a college and have 18 hour days, most of which end at 1am.

SING WITH ME: “I Would Walk 500 Miles…”

I was crunching some numbers from my past 4 weeks of ½ marathon training and I came to realize that I’m on pace to have run over 80 miles this month.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!

Miles Ran
January: 34.2
February: 31.97
March: 36.8
April: 53.7
May: 60.3
June: TBD – Going to be OVER 80.

Starting in July I’ll be running over 20 miles a week. WOW. I remember back in January/February when the thought of 10 miles a week was DAUNTING.

It’s really exciting that I’m on track to run well over 500 miles in 2010.

No Bueno

Soooo I was doing great on calories today (all week actually) and I decided to get Chick-fil-a fries and chargrilled sandwich with just the bottom bun and no sauces HOWEVER I feel sick. I’ve seen people write they have felt sick eating fast food after not having it (its been at least 6 weeks). Now I have to do back to back presentations feeling sick.

Drinking black coffee because there are no non-coffeemate options and I was horrified by the sugar and calorie count in coffeemate. I’m generally an iced coffee with skim or a hot coffee with half and half kinda gal – no sweeteners.

WIW Victory

Last Week: 197.6

This Week: 195.4

2.2 POUNDS! Seriously this is the biggest 1 week loss I’ve had in 2 months.

I’ve lost 27.2 pounds and have 27.4 to go until my GW. It’s going to be so exciting to see the pounds lost be MORE than the pounds to go until GW. That all makes my UGW (40.4 pounds from this weight) seem more possible.
