We had dinner with friends tonight and I was only able to squeeze in a quick 30 minutes on the elliptical. Boy, was I shocked when it felt like a vacation day! The different between 30 minutes and 45 minutes may not seem like much, but trust me...it really is. However, my abs (which I didn't even know I had, thankyouverymuch!) feel like they're going to rip themselves from my abdomen and go all Chuck Norris on everyone around me. It.hurts.so.bad.
All in all, I'm happy with the rate of loss. I'm a little over target (2.01 pounds/week) on losing 100 pounds this year, so that's good. I was hoping to be down to 265 by the time we went on our annual girl's only shopping trip in Cincinnati in November, but at this rate it looks like it will be closer to 270-273. I'm definitely going to try to hit the 265 mark, but I certainly won't be bummed about 270ish.
I plan on revamping the blog this weekend and making it into something that I can finally start sharing with my friends. I'm still learning all the ins and outs about blogging, but I would say that it's safe to assume that I can actually keep this one up. Plus, I would also like to start posting some playlists, recipes, and some other topics that I think my buddies would enjoy. The real question is where I'm going to find the time to do it...
Here I am, blogging away as my hubby takes this week's weigh-in photo. I'm both happy and irritated with this one. Irritated because of my belly, but happy to see that I'm down to only one spare tire and it's deflating quickly. It will definitely be a nice picture to look back on one day once I have my flat tummy.
