Thanks for the pep talk!! It really helps me keep going through all the aches and pain. Sometimes I don't think I am doing enough but between working 9-12 hour days, school, volunteering through mentoring and PTSA, my crazy puppies and working out I am trying to focus on all the things that I help me to keep going. You all help alot....


Here is an update:

Updating with weight and measurements- I have been eating a bit differently and a bit better so that is good. I worked out a few times with Dance Cardio Express and once with Yoga for weight loss. I also ran 3 times this week, which a I hate!! LOL. 2+ miles in Monday, 2.5+ miles Tuesday (Wed was suppose to be a hill day, but work canceled that out) Thurs always an off day cause I mentor at 7:05 am till 11:30 am so working out before hand then running home doesn't work out for me and Friday did a 1-1-1 test. A 1-1-1 test is 1 min of push ups 1 min of sit ups and a 1 mile run-I was testing myself...along with the guy I am working out with. In 1 min I did 26 Push ups, in 1 min of sit ups I did 39 and in the 1 mile run I did 9mins and 2 secs. I am actually annoyed by all of it because on my last test I did 46 Push ups in 2 mins, 82 Sit ups in 2 mins and 17:30 two mile (not fast by any means but faster than 9:02 mile). Ok...maybe I am being too hard on myself. However, I have a 2-2-2 test on or around 21st or so...So I have another week and a half of prep work to see how I do...I am sure I will be fine cause adrenalin always jumps in and takes over! Anyways enough rambling and here is my update...not impressive by any means but still my update.
Height: 5'5'' or 5'6'' on a good day
Weight: 166 (lost 1.6 lbs)
Chest: 36.5 (same)
Waist above belly button: 28 (lost .25)
Waist below belly button: 32 (same)
Hips-largest part of buttocks: 41.25 (same)
Thighs: R: 23.5 L: 23.5 (same)


Happy working out to all...And someone told me recently that I am more than a number on the scale...I might start to believe it if I pass my 2-2-2 test with flying colors...HA!

To be honest I think you look good the way you are.
But what I did was take long walks and jog. its fun and
helps get the job done.

You look good already! But you'll look amazing no matter the outcome

So...With stress at the height of this week, and nature taking course and FEELING LIKE I AM 100LBS heavier...but that should be done by the end of THIS week YAY!!! Well anyways here is the update....

Height: 5'5'' or 5'6'' on a good day

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone about the kind words and inspiration. Thanks again!!!

So today I had the 2-2-2 test 2 mins of Push Ups. 2 Min of sit ups and 2 mile run-

Here is how it went....

Sit Ups 60 (73%)

Push Ups 30 (79%)

and the run....drum roll please......

16:50 !!! I haven't seen 16 mins in a while...so it makes me want to keep doing my run training I was doing to improve even though my leg felt like a knife was running up and down it afterwards....No pain no gain right....?
