HOME STRETCH!!!

WOW! I'm only SIX pounds away from my goal! SIX!!! I can't believe it. I'm 136 right now. Crazy. I haven't been this thin since my wedding. I'm ten pounds UNDER my pre-baby weight. While it's very exciting, I still don't feel like I'm where I want to be, a little strange I know, but it's true. I thought that when I was this weight I'd be so excited about my body, don't get my wrong, I'm excited that I've come this far, but still not where I want to be. Which is good I guess since I am still 6 pounds away from my goal--so I will keep on going. I think the big thing for me is my arms. Everyone has that "problem" area-- you know the first place you gain it and the LAST place you lose it. Well for me, it's my arms. It always has been. Never in my life have I worn a tee shirt and liked the way my arms looked. Well that will be my goal when I get to my goal, to LOVE my arms. I CAN have amazing arms and I will!!
So I'm on this crazy meal plan for these last 2 weeks. I eat: egg whites, oatmeal (plain-- no sugar no milk no nothing), almonds and a protein shake for snack (a protein shake with water, eww), chicken breast with lettuce for lunch, almonds and protein shake for pm snack, then chicken and broccoli for dinner. That's what I'll be eating for 2 whole week. WOWZERS! Considering that my meals haven't been SUPER strict like this my entire "journey" I can suck it up for two weeks. Then I'll get my "after" pictures taken and I'll look lean and mean!!
I think I'm most excited to go shopping for a really great pair of jeans and some really cute new --"CHECK OUT MY SEXY ARMS" tops! :) AND I'm excited to be done with this. I'm looking forward to maintaining and being able to go out to dinner and order something besides a salad--dressing on the side. Anyway, I'll keep you updated!! Wish me luck, enjoy the yummy food you're eating--cause I'm sure not having any!

SKINNY SKNNY JEANS!!! AND 136

WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO
First of all, I broke 140 a few weeks ago, I know, I know, I didn't blog it. Sorry, this month has been craZy!! My parents came out (and my lil sis) and then it was my bday, then Boyd's bday, then his mom came out, then lots of work work work. Anyway, I'm blogging now to update y'all! Hope you haven't given up on me!
I broke 140 and that was fun. Then the other day I was looking at my "skinny skinny jeans" on my wall (I haven't tried them on since I tacked them on the wall) and they fit!! WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!! It was so fun! I bought them my senior year of high school! I think I'm actually in better shape then I've ever been in. The bummer is that I still have yucky flab on my belly from having a baby-- but oh was he ever worth it!!! He's the BEST!!! :) And that'll come off in a few pounds...
Anyway, this weekend I was 136.5!! The skinniest I've been since my wedding! I think I was about 134 ish at my wedding. Crazy crazy, I'm so excited to be 130, I'll probably have to buy some skinny skinny skinny jeans lol. I'll be posting pics of my skinny skinnys (with me in them!) soon!
Oh ya ps, another fun thing... ALL of my clothes fit. I have so many more clothes now! It's awesome!

Mixed feelings

TEN MORE POUNDS TO GO!!!!

161 151 140

Ten more pounds will be even better! Oh ya and I got a new bodybugg...I'm not too bright and got in a hot tub with my other one...yeeeeeahhh not waterproof. ;)

This time I think the biggest change is on the "backside" picture. I can tell I've lost a lot of weight in my love handles (duh) and also in my upper back.

Well taking these pictures makes me feel a little better. But I'm in a bad mood ecause I haven't been able to run in a week. My siatic nerve has been bothering me since I had Eli, but in the last week it has been consistent pain and I can barely walk let alone run OR do classes or even have a good workout. So that's gotten me really down. My 5k is in two weeks and I don't even know if I could walk it. I have a ticket out to Salt Lake, but I might have to re-book it for May and just run the Running with Angels 5k. But hopefully with some physical therapy, yoga, and stretching (I've been trying that tho) I'll be able to get it worked out. It's so frustrating....!!!!!

I have a lot more to say but I'd better get in bed, I have a full day tomorrow begining with training! Yikes, go easy on me Mike I can barely walk...
