I actually meant to post a picture of this on my last blog but I was too lazy to go downstairs and take a picture of it. I'd say it was a decent month. Missed some days most likely because of being hungover and then obviously because of work.
I did a lot of running, a few gym seshes and a few Jillian videos. Nothing burned any super crazy amounts of calories though. I'm working on that this month! I have definitely started increasing my mileage recently. I had forgotten that I kind of like running in the cold. It sucks at first, but once you warm up it gets more comfortable and the cold air starts to feel good on your hot skin.
I'm actually thinking about doing a 5k the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It's right by my house, so I figure, why not? I feel so guilty for barely doing any races this year. I wanted to beat last years number but not even close:-( Oh well, next year I will try! And I also think I'm going to do another half marathon next year. Haven't decided which one yet!
I'm so thankful that I was able to fall in love with running again. That has been one of my biggest accomplishments recently. I was really starting to feel like a failure for not being able to run anymore, but luckily I got my groove back:-)
I never thought I'd be writing about this, honestly. I told myself I'd never gain any weight back, but now I realize what people are saying when they talk about "maintaining" being harder than actually losing the weight. It SO is. It's so frustrating to go from feeling like the weight is just melting off you, to having to workout like a maniac and eat perfect just to drop 1 pound. I guess my tactics for losing weight before just aren't working the same anymore. I'm just not sure what I can do differently to lose weight!
You would think that after all that whining about not losing weight, that I wouldn't have a weigh in, but I do! Yay, how exciting! Granted, I'm a little behind on posting this weigh in, I have at least stayed the same weight since then. I guess this is just going to be a slow process the second time around. Here's the weigh in...
Previous Weight - 159.8 (10/11)
Current Weight - 157.2 (11/8)
Weight Lost - 2.6 Pounds
So basically a month to lose 2.6 pounds. That's soooo slow but I'll take it! It's better than nothing.
Here's a recent picture of me. We had beautiful weather the other day and I was actually able to wear this outside and play tennis! It was great!:-) I'm pretty satisfied with how I look although I am starting to run into the same issue I was having when I got to my lowest weight: my stomach.
I feel like I look decently skinny everywhere except my stomach. I guess I was just so fat that it really stretched out my stomach and most likely it will never go back to normal. It's super ugly and I hate it. I feel like I will never be fully happy with my body. I guess I will just have to deal with it, or get a tummy tuck lol... yeah right, maybe if I win the lottery!
I can't believe that Thanksgiving is next week! That's gonna be a bad day. I will not hold back one bit! lol. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I can't help it, I love to eat! And this will be my first Thanksgiving at 32. It will be my first Thanksgiving ever NOT spent with my family but I am totally okay with that. I'm excited to spend it with my fire department family:-) It's going to be a huge feast! Can't wait!
So yesterday I worked, but I was detailed to station 806 which is in the Largo/Landover area. It was by far the best detail I've done! The crew was great, the station is AMAZING, and the call volume was low. I just had a great time with the guys there. We played Foosball and Spades, and ate red velvet cake! It was sweet. Their station is so high tech, it's crazy! The best part was probably sleeping all night lol:-) Even though I slept all night, I still came home and went back to sleep until 1pm! What is wrong with me? I guess I just love sleep!;-)
Ok, time for me to get off the couch and do something productive. It looks kind of nice outside, so maybe I will go for a run! My next blog better have a kick-a** weigh in!!:-P
Toodles,
Anna
