Up bright and early today.

So much to do.

So few hours to do them.

Walk the dogs
Run the first day day of c25k week 9 (30 minutes)
Get to gym for first training
Work out (this is yet decided)
Head down south to Chehalis to help my husband cater a wedding
Oh yes and Weigh in…

This has been the strangest week as far as what the scale is giving me in numbers. Up, down, up, down, up down. I resolved myself to not being freaked out. Give me a gain, fine. Stay the same, fine. Give me a loss, fine.

This is more about numbers now.

This is about challenging myself to move more and eat less.

To run 2 minutes longer.

To swim an extra lap.

To go an extra 30 seconds on elliptical.

To become the person I’ve always wanted to be and never had the determination to get there.

This week I was ready for anything.

I got a loss.

I’m almost without words to describe what this number means to me. I have officially crossed over the -30 pounds mark. There was so much tweaking this week with calories, workouts and sleep I thought for sure I’d see a little bit of a gain or nothing at all.

I was not expecting a -2.0 loss.

This week has been filled with so many positive movements forward in this lifestyle changing journey that to get a number like today is just about the bees knees!

So here are the numbers:

•Week 0 = 263.5 (-0.0)
•Week 1 = 257.4 (-6.1)
•Week 2 = 255.0 (-2.4)
•Week 3 = 254.6 (-.4)
•Week 4 = 253.8 (-.8) *I started c25k
•Week 5 = 248.2 (-5.6)
•Week 6 = 247.2 (-1.0)
•Week 7 = 246.2 (-1.0)
•Week 8 = 244.4 (-1.8)
•Week 9 = 241.0 (-3.4)
•Week 10 = 240.6 (-.4)
•Week 11 = 238.0 (-2.6)
•Week 12 = 234.8 (-3.2)
•Week 13 = 232.8 (-2.0)
