Another Week

I hate blog titles. Oh well. So another week has come and gone. I got a pair of Vibram Five Finger shoes, that is basically like being barefoot. I did my first run in them yesterday after I bought them. They told me to cut my distance in half for the first couple of runs, and while I was running, I didn't really see why (except that the balls of my feet felt a little bruised) but when I woke up this morning, my calves were super sore. They work totally different leg muscles than running in my good old Saucony, and it was so fun to do something a little bit different and still be running. I have decided that I am going to start wearing them for 2 of my runs a week, it is a little sad that I can't track my runs with them, since they don't have laces, but I guess I will get over it. I loved seeing last year that in 6 months I ran 500 miles, but these shoes are worth it. I decided I won't wear them for my first 10K this month since I all ready have to deal with a 4000 ft altitude change and the race is the day after I get there, so I better not push my luck. I will however do my race on Memorial Day wearing them. Anyway, hope everyones weigh in is good!!!!

Oops

Okay, I think that I missed a week of blogging. My time has been getting away from me lately. It seems that all of my days and weeks are kind of just running together. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to mean that time is passing any more quickly. It is amazing that 3 and a half months can go by so slowly. Anyway I reached my goal a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to maintain these last few weeks. Maintaining has proved to be a bit more difficult than I expected. I haven't gained any weight, which is totally good, but I have still been losing. Its not terrible, but I am happy where I am and spent money to buy some nice new clothes and now I need to shop again. It is better than going the other way. I also finally bought a new swim suit. And it is a bikini which is cool that I can get away with wearing it, but I do feel really exposed. I guess I will just have to get used to it. I have a hard time remembering that I have lost all of that weight. Honestly I still feel exactly the same. Weird.

Another Title

This week has gone quickly. I was talking on the phone with my husband yesterday (only the 3rd time in the 5 weeks since he has been gone) and he was getting ready to buy me a shirt and wanted to know what size to buy. The first thing that comes to mind is well maybe I should order a larger size because I don't want it to be too small, but than I had to think about all of the clothes in my dresser that don't fit because they are too big. It has taken a while for me to change from trying to hide myself in loose fitting clothes into wearing clothes that actually fit well. It just made me laugh that I had to think so much about which size of a t shirt. Well anyway that is about it for me.

Another Week

Not much to report. I am working at maintaining right now because I have pretty much made it to my goal weight give or take a pound. It is nice to finally get there. Now I am ready to do some running this next week. I have been out of town and it is difficult with 5 kids to get away for a run (and I do not get out of bed before 7 for any reason), so I have spent this week mainly on cardio and strength which has been a nice change, but after a week without running, I am ready to get back to it. I just don't enjoy anything quite as much as I enjoy just totally zoning out and running any frustrations out. Anyway, hope everyone has a fantastic week!!!!

This Week

well I guess I forgot to blog in time this week. Oops. I am here and doing well.

Rant

So far I have had a great week weight loss wise. which is good, because that means that I have overcome stress eating. It has been a stressful couple of weeks with my husband having left on deployment and how hard it has been on the kids. Instead of eating, I just take my frustrations out on zombies in video game :) Hope that everyone has a great week.

Another Week

I don't really have much to say this week. The weather has been fantastic. We actually hit 60 degrees today and the last of the snow melted from my yard. That was a real accomplishment. Of course it is suppose to snow again tomorrow and Saturday with an accumulation of another 6 inches. I just don't think it ever ends in this state. Such is life, soon I will be back outside running instead of on an indoor track or treadmill, so hooray for that. Of course that also means pushing 70 pounds worth of kids and the stroller :) Good times. Anyway thats about it for today.
