i'm still here

It's been a few days since I have written because we had a crazy busy weekend.

Up @ 5 am Saturday for our garage sale, Mary's wedding that night with the kids, then TOOL Sunday night! Sheesh.

I got really frustrated again because I got "stuck" over the weekend. I went for CHT yesterday with Laurie, who used to work @ Serenity- it was nice to see her again. I lost a pound when I weighed myself this morning. When I went to see Dr. P, she thinks the hair dye from Friday is affecting me! I didn't know I wasn't supposed to do that, although when I was sitting there with the dye on my head, the thought did cross my mind. I sabotage my weight loss for darker hair- ha!

Well, now I know what the reason is. I have 6.5 more lbs to go although I feel I could probably easily still lose another 10.

My period is supposed to start next week, which could be the cause for me feeling super jiggly all around. You'd think, having lost 13.5 lbs so far I'd be happy. But as I was telling Dr. P this morning, when I was at this weight during my half marathon training, my hip bones were definitely more defined. I felt more tone. I feel very very flabby. Hopefully, next Wednesday I will be done with this "phase", and on to stabilization when I can start running again. Yay. Never thought I'd be so excited to work out again. But I really am. I was starting to enjoy my morning runs outdoors. And can't imagine how much nicer it will be 20 lbs lighter. Aw yeah!

Definitley counting the days until I can crunch on some nuts, and have a salad dressing with OIL!! And just add some different veggies- make some soups, stir fry's and chilis. YUM!
