Bringing Sexy Back

So, I am advancing (or trying to advance) in this whole blogging thing.  Being more faithful at it...being more interesting  trying to be more interesting!  This is what, my 3rd or 4th blog post in a week!  I know, try to keep up!

So to advance more,  I have decided to add labels.  WOAH, big step right :)!!!

You will notice them on the sidebar.  There you will also notice one of the topics is Bringing Sexy Back. 

No, no sex advice here.

This is the label I have decided to put on my weight loss endevers! You see, when I started this whole thing, I told my husband the first song on my playlist for my runs was "Bringing Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake.  That's what I wanted to do for him. 

This weight loss journey is WAY more about me and how I feel, than him wanting me to do it.  Now, don't get me wrong, he is loving it and is very excited for me, but he has never made me feel "fat" and has always loved me and made me feel sexy even if I didn't think it.  Trust me, I was NEVER thinking it! 

But I'm starting too!

Yay!

Here's to Bringing Sexy Back!!  GREAT motiviation!!

An update....and a cold cold run!

I never ever thought I would be able to run in the cold.

And here I am, late January having run through a cold couple months!

Its a pretty cool accomplishment (no pun intended)


Took a few days off from blogging last week to get away for a few days with the hubs.  First time since I was 5 weeks pregnant with baby girl!

That is quite a while ago!

It was overdue and very very nice to spend some great time with my better half!  Didn't do anything too exciting, just down to AC for a few days.

We relaxed, went to a movie, slept in, walked  on a VERY cold boardwalk and even got my workout in!   Yep, got down to the exercise room in the hotel and gyro :)  I intended to do both days, but both treadmills were in use when I went down the second day, fail!


So, Saturday I was thrilled when one of my running friends asked if I wanted to run 4 miles on Sunday.  Sure I said!  Sounded like a great idea until I woke up on Sunday morning and saw that it was in the teens.  Low teens...like 11degrees.  That wasn't with the wind chill.

Did I also mention that this wake  up call came at 5am courtesy of baby girl.  (Welcome back from vacation!)

Busy morning, we led music in church, watched my beautiful little niece get dedicated to the Lord, Sunday School, lunch in honor of the beautiful niece, then home, finally.  After leaving the house at 7:30am we got home at 2:15.

The run was to happen at 3:00.  I was beat people, flat out beat.  My text to my friend said I would be possibly be bailing because I was the "walking dead" Laid down for 20 minutes then sent the text to cancel.

Then rolled over and remembered I have a LONG way to my weight loss goal and that I would be failing to meet the 10 mile goal for the week.

Rolled back over, texted the running friend and got dressed.

Glad I did it.

Even though I was FREEZING my butt off!

I ran 6 miles!!

Which put me at 12 for the week!

Yay me!
