Minimize Me Monday

  • I know, today is Tuesday!  I was off work for President’s Day yesterday and when I’m at home with the baby I lose all track of time.  Lewis and I had a great day though!
  • I’m down 3 pounds this week to 194.5.  Whooo hooo…finally breaking the two-week choke hold at 197.5.  I was probably just retaining some water or something before but seeing the same number on the scale gets really discouraging.
  • I had good girth changes in my waist, bust and shoulder.  My upper body is shrinking.  Now if only my hips and thighs would get the memo.
  • I hit the track for a run on Sunday and man am I out of practice after only 3 weeks!  I intended to run 4 long slow miles but that turned into 3 miles at normal pace with 1/2 track lap walk break between.
  • I have so much trouble consciously going extra slow (even though I run slow now anyway).  Every mile was run at 12:00 min/mile with one mile at 11:30 min/mile (yeah!).  I wanted to run extra slow so that I could go for 4 miles without stopping.  Maybe next time.
  • I did Seasun Zieger’s Straight Up Step this morning and it is still one of my all-time favorite step videos.
  • CrossFit bootcamp is almost halfway done and it has been a great ride so far.  I feel a lot stronger – probably because I’m getting that extra day of strength training in that wasn’t there before.
  • I have about 4 weeks left to hit my goal of 185 on 3/12 (6 months post-partum).  I don’t know if I’m going to make it but I am going to try my hardest.  I am definitely encouraged with the 40 pound loss in 5 months though (even if it that was 8 pounds of baby LOL).
