I wouldn't say I love it. But I wouldnt say I hate it, running that is. I found myself looking forward to doing it and accomplishing my goals. I focus mostly on my time a distance.
Yesterday I did 4 miles in 44 minutes and I was pretty proud of myself. I want to do better and go further. Just like a month or so ago I wasn't even getting the 5k, and now finding that I enjoy going further! It's crazy to think Im starting to more then like running. Plus 44 mins of cardio does a body good! I am 22.5 lbs down and counting. I decided here recently that I am goin to stop obsessing over calorie counting an just make good dessions. Oh an stop eating bad foods. Even though I steady was on my app counting calories I would save my calories for bad stuff like nachoes or ice cream, an well...thats still not good. Healthy choices and pushing myself harder and I have to get at least 10 more lbs off!
I still got to work these abs!!! Why is it so hard to get rid of the pouch!!!
I feel like its taking forever for this to happen I have been working out for almost 4 months now. But I wont stop once Ive reached my goal, I just want to get there. Gaining this baby weight has made me change my life in so many ways. Not only am I blessed with an AMAZINGLY cute son, but I want to be healthy an challenge myself while setting a good example for my son.
I hope to be running a marothon with my son one day old or young. :)

Food For Thought...
If only it were my mind that was hungry...
Since the last few times I posted about my weight I lost a pound the next day I figured maybe I'll get lucky and lose another since Im writing about it. :)
So 20 lbs down.... Id like to do 10-12 more. It will be hard seeing that lately it has been hard to eat right. I have had wayyyyy to many sweets and fatty crap here lately its terrible. And I plan on being in a bathing suit on the beach in two days..FML!
On a lighter note I have been frequently running 3.22 miles. Im proud to say my time is improving! It seems that you get NOWHERE by not challenging yourself and cutting corners. That 3 miles wont run istelf and walking it wont help you any! For those of you that like to fudge it, your not doing yourself any favors! We didnt get anywhere by faking it.
But don't you hate when you work so hard an you slip up an have bad foods an you have you'r ,"I feel fat" days. I know it was my fault but fuuuuck! I hate that feeling. I was deffently having that yesterday. It blows! So today nothing but good food and small portions today. Gotta look good in the bakini Sunday :)
Suck it in slackers!

Gym Membership Not Included
To all of you that think you need a fancy gym membership to get in shape...
Add that to your list of excusses.
I don't belong to a gym and I dont always have an hour to dedicate to just myslef. I am a full time worker and a wife and mother. All you need is motivation. Crap like its too hot to run or I have to take care of my kids blah blah.. get a jogger, circuit train in the house while the kids are napping, buy old used equipment from a secong habd sports store or craigslist.
This is what I use almost daily, and Im pretty sure you can find a newer one on craigslist for 50-100.00$ it get the job done when I cant make it outside for a workout. Also a bike is a good workout. I use mine outside or in.
I run while my little trooper plays in his jumparoo. or plays in his chair. Hes right there with me and he enjoys watching mommys joofy ass run.
I didn't get where I am today with reasons not to workout and wishing I could be like others that can just run or workout. I became one! I was never athletic I am the artistic clumsy type. Now I am artistic, clumsy, and in shape!
So Close,Yet So Far Away!!
This morning I ran 5K before 6am, and before my 12.5 hour shift!
I feel proud and accomplished. I never thought I would say I ran over 3 miles. If you would have asked me last year to even run a mile I would have took a puff of my newport and laughed. (before I was pregnant of course) Yes I was a smoker, once a heavy drinker, and I never once atempted to run for the sake of running. I have come a long way and its sad it took having a baby and getting fat to realize that I wasnt healthy.
I am 19 lbs down and trying to go for another 12 lbs. I feel that I have come a long way in these 3 months but I also feel like these last lbs will be a bitch! Im still counting calories, well for the most part. I have been bad more times then a few, but hey I feel you need to sometimes so you dont lose your freakin mind! I feel good about where I am at but I still think about where I need to be. It has gotten a lot easier to wear close and look in the mirror, but I want to feel awesome! I want to look as good as I feel when Im done accomplishing a goal like my 5K. I will get there people! I am determind and drivin.
I do have to say it is still hard to find time sometimes with long shifts and a fmaily to take care of. I try though, I feel guilty about my 2 break days I had. But i think about when I had my days off and I was doing more then one workout in a day. I found time in the morning to run and do other cardio for about 30 to 40 mins, then ride road bikes with my husband in the evening for about 40 mins. I am trying to get to that 20 lbs lost. the Junkie gals decided that we were going to treat ourselves to a cupcake for that celebration. I don't mean just an old cupcake either. I mean the fancy melting your mouth, so sweet your teeth will fall out cupcake :) I loooove me some cupcakes!
So the fight continues and we still push on. We will be happy with ourselves and we will be proud no matter what because we worked hard for it! I am determind to make next summer my bitch!! Watch out! :)
