Getting my first tattoo today! Goal reward :)
I am going in tonight and I am so nervous. LOL! I went with butterflies because they represent change that has taken place in my life over the past 2 years. I was originally going to have it on my foot, but realized I can't go for 2 weeks without sneakers or running. So, now I have to pick a new place. I'm thinking my…

Half marathon completed over the weekend :)
I finished my first half marathon on Sunday. I originally was hoping to finish in about 2 hr 30 min, but I injured my knee about 6 weeks ago so I had to do a run/walk combo. I finished in just 2 hr 53 min, so right under my revised goal time. I was thrilled! I have already decided to sign up for another in the fall and…

5lb weights to 8lb weights!
I received some gift cards for Christmas so I bought myself new hand weights to use while doing my Jillian Michaels DVDs. I plan on using them tonight after I drop my son off at basketball. I am sure I will be super sore in the morning. YAY!

Feeling very down today- but didn't soothe with food!
We opened up gifts this morning and my kids were passing out everything from under the tree. Everyone had gifts except me :frown: The kids of course had their Santa gifts and gifts from their grandparents. DH had a gift from me and gifts from the kids. He didn't give me anything from him or the kids. I went on to make…

Bummed about the Arctic Dash today :-/
Earlier in the week my sister in law had to cancel because she is under doctor's orders to rest due to the flu. This morning my friend texted me and said her daughter is extremely sick and there is no one to watch her. So, now I can't decide if I want to drive the 45 minutes to this race and go it alone (I'd probably be…

My sister in law, friend and I have decided to participate in this Arctic Dash in December. Yes, we are crazy!!!! Not exactly sure what we were thinking when we signed up, but it is happening in less than 4 weeks. EEEEK! How should I dress for this?

Reached goal but still need to tone- What's next?
So I have reached my weight loss goal. My core area still is a bit flabby and I'd like to tone it even more. I've had 2 kids via c-section- I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I run several times a week and do Jillian Michaels DVDs at least 4-5 times a week. What else can I do and do I need to lose more weight…

I made my goal this morning :)
About 18 months ago, I decided I had enough of being overweight. A friend of mine and I were talking at a soccer game discussing the pros and cons of P90X vs Jillian Michaels. That was the beginning of this journey. I made a commitment to myself that day to exercise at least 4 times a week and journal all of my food. It…
