WOAH! Half-way point pics!

So I decided to do half-way pictures tonight, and HOLY COW. I'm super amazed at how far I've come. Now I still do have a lot more to go but it was nice to see the comparison and see that I'm getting my booty back and I no longer look pregnant! Lol. I can't believe how I still look preggers in my side view start pic! Here they are... (this is why I braved posting my start pic, because I knew there would be progress pics!!)

What a difference 10 pounds makes! It's exciting to me to think about what the end pics will look like... in 20 more pounds!!

I cannot even believe how I still look pregnant in this start pic! I'm so glad I took it because I would have never thought that I looked like that! And look at me now! I'm getting a booty again! lol!

Here is a fun pic, testing out the self timer on my camera, yep it works! Next time you see pics of me, I'm gonna have a rockin' bod! (And maybe I'll brush my hair next time too, hahaha)

This Is What It Takes...

So today was kind of a bummer, I weighed myself and I was a pound more than I was Saturday (even though I didn't have ANY sweets or dessert on Valentines day), but my weight does tend to flucuate throughout the week, so I'll get it back. I'm determined to work my booty off this week (literally!) in order to break 150,I've gotta do it.

This is what it takes to reach my goal...

I elevated my heart rate FOUR times today in order to reach my calories burned goal (and exceed it by a little bit). Normally you would think that doing an hour of cardio and working with a trainer for half an hour would be PLENTY in order to lose 2.5 pounds per work. Nu uh. I basically did 4 workouts today and I BARELY made it. I guess most days I am fairley sedentary, working on my computer and just hangin out with Eli, so I really have to make a consious effort to move throughout the day. Whether that's a walk (thats what I did for my 2nd peak today) or cleaning the house (hey two bird with one stone!) or whatever, moving is really key.

I'm training for the Salt Lake City Marathon 5k. lol I know that sounds funny "marathon 5 K" but they do a marathon, half-marathon, and a 5k. I am NO WHERE near being able to do a half marathon, so my mom and I (and any one else that's wants to join, Laci?) are going to run it. WHen I was working out with Laci, I ran 1.5 miles in about 13 mins (correct me if I'm wrong Laci), so if I can do the 5k in 25mins, I'll be excited.
