Run, Run, Run, as fast as you can...

Hey everyone!  Here is what this past week brought me:

I lost .8 lbs despite the fact that I ate like a pig and didn't follow the WW plan precisely for most of the week.  I was shocked when I stepped on the scale and saw that my weight had gone down; and, as always, I reweighed myself just to make sure.

Sunday was a disaster for me.  We went to my husband's family's house and ate lasagna, meatballs, bread, cakes, pastries... and I dove right in.  I felt absolutely disgusting afterwards.

Yesterday wasn't terrible, but today I did so much better.  I also walked over 3 miles today, rollerbladed with my students for about 40 minutes, and finished day 3 of week 2 in C25k.  I kept my body moving for over 2 hours today. 

I'm only 6 pounds away from my second goal of 174 lbs.  That's what I weighed after being 217 lbs last February.  It was my weight before I started to climb again - all the way back to 205 lbs.  Once I hit that mark, I'll make my next goal.

There has been so much on my mind lately.  I have been having a difficult time focusing.  I have really found that running is helping me relieve a lot of the stress that is building in my mind.  I have a horrible time talking about what is bothering me, especially since it often is followed by a never-ending flow of tears.  This is a great way for me to just get it out.  I love listening to my music and just letting myself move.

I hope you are all doing great!  If you are finding this blog to be motivating, please feel free to share it with your friends.  The more the merrier!
