Fat and Normal

I really can’t believe it but I have lost, 5.8lbs in January.

That is a huge number for me. I don’t think I have lost that much in one month ever maybe.  I have just been really focused on what I eat and writing everything down in my new little notebook has really made the difference.  I think that if I don’t want to write something down I shouldn’t be eating it.

I have joined the 3fatchicks.com forum for the South Beach diet and they are doing a lot of great things with accountability. One is a daily challenge for 64 days, the challenge I chose was to exercise or meal plan. Which I have been doing great at 3 days in a row so far. The other is monthly weight goal, so my weight loss goal for February is 5lbs. I think I can do it again. Especially with the impending trip to Mexico just on the horizon.

My montra while I have been working out has been 150 by May. I have also been thinking about the Road Ends 5 Mile latley and I want to do not just good but great this year.  The first year I ran it I got 1:13:19 as my time.  Last year at 190lbs and 4 month post partum I got, 1:31:44.  It was a really bad time.  This year my goal is 1 hour.

So here is a cheer for February at the end of this month I’ll weight 163 and hopefully be able to run 1 mile without stopping.
