FIFTEEN!

In 15 lbs I will be at the weight I was when I met my boyfriend. I will be back to the weight I was when I used to run 5 miles per day and diet like a maniac. I will be thinner than I was when I graduated high school. I will be back into a size 4. There will not be bends in my sides or a role under my chin when I shrug or smile. I will still have a small tummy- which in 20 lbs will be as flat as a board. Yes, I am now at 144! This tells us that I did very well on my date out last night. I only had a salad with dressing on the side. I never use much dressing. I am to a point where eating veggies doesn't make me sad anymore. As a matter of fact, I sometimes crave cucumbers. Strange, I know. Well, salted cucumbers with a little italian or ranch dressing. haha. I'm no Jillian yet.

Today I did great. I had a huge red orange for breakfast, a cracker snack at work (lots of gum to hold me over), a pudding cup, a frozen dinner, a serving of almonds and a 70 calorie sherbert for dessert. I went on a really long run (about an hour) down the main road leading up to campus with my dogs. The hills in this town are killer. Even the dogs were lagging behind. But the weather was so beutiful and breezy that I could have gone even longer. I stopped because American Idol and Real Housewives of Orange County were calling my name. So I added to my workout by doing crunches, freeweights and jumping jacks during my shows.

Heck yes! It feels good that my size 8s are loose on me. My upper body is the last to go, as usual. But I totally see and feel a difference in my legs, face and even my arms.

Mom I'm sorry to hear about your knee. I'm glad it isn't hurting your workouts. Leah I'm sorry to hear your sick. I'll have to work out double for us. Let's keep it up ladies. I'm so ready for the after picture. Only 15 lbs to go till I reach the finish line :) -> Thus the little piggies running toward a finish line. No offense, just thought they were adorable.
