I’m a fail whale and didn’t run this morning. Sleep is at a premium right now. After coming off a 14 hour work day and heading into a 17 hour work day I couldn’t get myself out of bed. I did bring sneakers to work and hope if there is any down time that I can at least walk campus a bit.

I was just quoting the Auburn Creed today to a friend in terms of getting healthy when I saw a friend upload these ads to facebook. The stanza reads:

I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities.

This is from my other tumblr, but I thought it was fitting to add to this one! 

This morning I got on the scale and was nervous about what I would see. I really wanted to be down about 2 pounds and REALLY wanted to be down like 5 pounds. However my weight loss has been SLOW, but steady. I thought about how I ran/worked out 20 days this month…and the past 2 weeks I’ve been running 5x a week. 

The 5K this weekend really put this whole weight loss plan into high gear and it was scary to know where I’d hope to be and where I was. 

I dropped 4.6 pounds in the past 10 days.
That put my total weight loss to date at an even 22 pounds. 

My body apparently loves my scale to say XXX.6 (seriously many of my weight loss increments have included the number ending in.6) – so yes I’m .6 over my MAJOR GOAL, but honestly in this case almost does count. Weight fluctuates so easy and I’m sure that .6 will come and go as I approach Sunday, but I’m not gonna get a scale before then. I’m thrilled with where I’m at and I hope to keep my health in my mind as I spend a long weekend with friends, but still enjoy myself.

Enjoy my pretty graph in my absence!

Progress since January…so pretty. Just think I did all of that in the first quarter of the year, just think where I’ll be by the end of the year!

*Note the weight graph includes a trendline (green line), which averages out the daily fluctuations in water weight and uncovers true weight loss progress.
