Losing inches is not cheap.  All of my summer clothes are starting to get really big.  See all of my summer clothes were a size bigger then my normal everyday clothes since i always entered summmer fat after a long long long winter.  So now my clothes are about three sizes to big.  This has been a good month for inches just not weight.  But i am more then half way to my goal.

This weekend is the warrior dash and i am completely prepared this year.  I should finish in 42 minites.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I finished the half marathon, not in the time I wanted, but I still finished.  Next up warrior dash!  

I am enjoying the break in the weather and I am looking forward to the long weekend.  

4 days, 10 hours, and 21 minutes....This is how long I have left until the start of my first 1/2 marathon.  Am I crazy?  Probably.  My goal time is 2 1/2 hours so hopefully next week as I write complaining about my sore feet, I will be able to say that not only did I finish the 13.1 miles I did it in the time that I wanted to.  Everyone wish me luck.

This weight contest has opened me up to trying a lot of new things.  So far this year I have completed the YMCA's triathlon challenge, Tackle the tower Cleveland (OK, so that wasn't new to me), St Malachi 5 miles run, and now this.  Then later this year I still have the Warrior dash (did this twice last year, and hope to cut my time in half this year), Johnny Cake Jog, Disney's castaway cay 5k, Tough mudder, then if I am brave enough to endure the heat the Biggest loser 1/2 marathon in August.  

It's amazing how much I want to do now.  I don't really care about the weight lose but the training...weight lose is now just a perk.

Until next time,

Julie 

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I'm a few days late, but I had a very busy weekend and before you knew it, it was Tuesday night.  I am starting to have a hard time with this weight lose goal.  No I haven't hit a plateau, I have just slowly started to fall back into old habits.  I am trying my best to get back on track but I as Jillian Michaels says- trying is planning to fail, therefore I need to get back into the mind set of I am doing it!

Goal for next weigh in 147 which I know I will hit since I need to be 145.8 on the scale at work by June 6th.  June 6th is day 180 of my journey of weight lose and when I step on the scale and see that number I will have lose 30 pounds.  Then I will have 180 more days to lose my last 15.
