Well I am much more of a blog reader than a writer it seems but her is a little update on where I am.
I am actually doing great!
I am losing weight slowly but I am feeling good and back to being very active. SW-245 CW-171 GW-140
I am counting calories like its my job and am switching up what I am eating. I never used to like milk even tho it is so popular it repulsed me. Then something changed-as a kid my mom bought 2% as an adult I would only buy skim-both gross. I recently tried 1% and wow what a difference it made. Its great, has flavor but not so thick who knew. I am now drinking at least 1 glass a day and making my oatmeal with it for breakfast. I know it has calories and I am tracking those as well so I can only see good coming from it. Also it is filling! I actually have it as a morning snack and it can tide me over for quite a while.
I am jogging now!!!! I can't get over it. I starter the c25k program on a podcast that tells you when to start and stop and I finished it!!!! I can jog for atl east 30 min without having to stop yay! I tried yesterday to actually do a 5k at the park marking distance not time but I made the mistake of bringing my doggie-a chihuahua. She did the training with me so physically I know she can do it but she was not feeling it yesterday and just refused to even walk after 2 miles. I tried to carry her while jogging but her poor head just bobbled too much that I ended up walking. Good thing is I ended up walking 9k instead of jogging 5 so it was still a good outing next 5k tho I am going to do it solo:)
PT seems to have worked. I am 90% pain free now. I am continuing to do the streaches everyday after I take my doggie for her morning walk so that my muscles are a little warmed up to be able to streach-Tip from PT never streach with cold muscles walk or do something to warm them for 5 min first to prevent tearing.
I am going to Florida next week for vacation and I am soooo ready to have a break from real life. First half I am going to St Pete beach just to sit by the ocean and suck up the wonderful smell of the salt water and feel the breeze and ocean waves on my feet. Second half I am going to Disney World! I am so happy to be going there and will act like a child the whole time. A good friend of mine moved down there at the beginning of the year and I am going to say with her and we will go to the parks together. It will be great to catch up with her. I am looking forward to traveling with a smaller body hopefully the plane will be more compfortable at a size 12 than it was at a size 18 as I was the last time I wa in a plane.
Only downside of going while I am losing weight is I have no clothes. I seriously have work clothes and workout clothes in my wardrobe so I had to buy some stuff. I added 2 pairs of jeans and a few tops. I also got some new swimsuits and because it is September I got them for super cheap like 4$ each for 2 tops and 2 bottoms awsome!!!
Maybe next time I write I'll have some fun photos to share!
