8.9.10

that’s today’s date – how cool.

Today has been CRAZY busy at work, but it’s time to leave and go to the GYM. The first real work out after vacation is always hard, but I’m ready.

I got in the scale this morning and I was 194.4 – better than I feared. I still have hopes to see the 180s by NEXT (not this) Wednesday.

I have some dress and sneaker posts for you as well, but I’m gonna wait until I take pics. I’m hoping to try and backtrack and read a week worths of dashboard posts tonight – we’ll see how that goes, I hope it’s INSPIRING!

WIW – BIRTHDAY EDITION!!!

Today’s my motherfingbirthday!!!!!!

27 and I’m on top of the world.

This trip home has been innnnnteresting. Lots of twists and turns, but I’ll get into that once I get back to my regularly scheduled life next week.

My eating has been OKAY, but I have not been eating enough which has been problematic. Plus I’ve had more sweets than I would have liked.

My running plans have been hit or miss do to lots of unexpected happenings whilst home. I’m hoping to get in another long run or two before I leave. 

Last week: 191.0

This week 194.8

Change: +3.8

Not thrilled, but I know once I get back into my eating and running routine that I will be fine. 

Regardless I look and feel great, my friends and family can’t get over how much my body has changed!

WIW – Up with the sun to run edition

Last week: 194.2

This week: 191.0

Change: -3.2

Total Loss: 31.6

I knew I was going to kill it this week. I wish I could have seen a 190.9 or something, but I’m not complaining either. Overall my July has been a success with over 8 pounds lost. I’m thrilled that I pushed through a major plateau in May/June and I feel unstoppable. Next Wednesday is my birthday and I’m coming for you 180s!!!

I also decided my UGW goal date: March 21, 2011. It’s the first day of Spring and Spring is a time of new beginnings and rebirth so I think it’d be perfect. I’m 23 pounds from my GW (December 31, 2010) and 36 pounds from my UGW. I’m on pace for both of those to be realities which is unreal!

P.S. I got up bright and early for a 4 miler this morning and kick off my roadtrip this afternoon (you all can keep up with my handy dandy schedule). I will try my best to stay in touch! xoxo

Why yes this is how I spent the past hour or so.

I’m NEVER this organized except when I go home because there is so much to do, so many people to see, etc that I need to know my schedule. There is PLENTY of things yet to be determined, but these are the major planned things…INCLUDING RUNS. Some run times are subject to change, but I will be running those amounts on those days. Still working out the specifics of my Central Park and Williamsburg Bridge run with my sister – that may be Wednesday/Thursday afternoon. And now my sister is mentioning a hash trail where you run to bars on a route…interesting.

So basically…is it tomorrow yet?!?! Not on the calendar is my pre-work (I’m only coming in for a few hours) run tomorrow. Since I’ll be sitting in a car for 6 hours 3 days I think the endorphins will do me good!

LARGE

I forgot to mention yesterday that my tank and both pairs of shorts I bought yesterday were all larges. Which is AWESOME. It’s crazy how I’m still in the habit of grabbing XLs and then maybe a large on the RARE occasions the XL was too big. This time the XLs were like STOOPID BIG.

So last night I was re-trying on all my purchases and I made a faux paux – the bright blue shorts I bought… are GIRLS. I had tried on a navy pair from a different rack which were women’s, but when I saw the clearance shorts were navy I wanted to swap. So not thinking I grabbed cute blue ones from the rack next to where I got the navy ones – a girls rack. FAIL. So I need to go back and exchange the girls large for a ladies large. I noticed they were girls when I picked them up to try on at home, but randomly I did FIT INTO the girls shorts, it wasn’t pretty, but they fit.

Also the tank I bought – the picture I posted mainly showed the back of the shirt, the front is solid blue. I can’t get over how pretty the back of the tank is on. I was looking in my mirror with a handheld mirror to check myself out last night and I freakin love the tank.

P.S. I am SUPER STOKED FOR WIW tomorrow. I have been killin’ at the gym lately as well as in the food department!

I ended up getting 2 pairs of Umbro shorts (1 pair was $2.50) and a Nike pro dri fit tank and my Nike+ sensor for $4.50. BECAUSE I had my $50 gift card and $10 coupon. I kinda drove the cashier nuts because I went up with a few extra items because I’m terrible at math, but I was able to maximize my purchase!

Also I went to the consignment shop and they took almost all my items for consignment instead of directly buying them (but I could make more money in the long run). Well while I was there I tried on the AMAZING black jeans that fit like a glove and were $8. I know its too hot for jeans right now, but I looked bangin’ in them!
