Haitus

Well, clearly I haven't updated in awhile.  I've gotten some complaints from my fans (that is a joke....I'm not famous enough to have fans!).  It's been a busy few weeks: sick baby, working overtime, reassessing life decisions, etc.  BUT, I have kept up with my weight loss, I just haven't been updating about it.

So far it's been 9 weeks and I have lost 8 pounds.  That's a total of 13 since Wyatt was born.  I have 23 to go until I reach my goal.  Today, my husband came on a run with me and he pushed me really hard.  I was all proud of myself because a couple of days ago I ran 1.8 km without stopping, the farthest I have ever run.  Today, with him pushing me, I did 3.6 km without stopping.  That was running for 26 minutes straight without stopping.  He is such a huge motivator.  He's never mean, but he just really encourages me to keep going.  I love him.  He got up early just to come out with me.  AND, this guy is so fit, that my little run was nothing to him.  He didn't even get winded.  But he still did it because he wants to help me.  If he wasn't with me I would definitely have stopped much sooner.  He even made me do an extra lap when I thought I was dying.  I think he was trying to make me puke like on The Biggest Loser.  He said if I did, it would be his proudest moment in our marriage.  AS IF.  Anyway, he's the best and we have another date tomorrow morning!!

Anyway, that's where I'm at.  I haven't really been that on point with my diet, which is why the pounds haven't been flying off, but I'm ok with that.  I am still motivated, but a lot has been happening in my personal life and I am just trying to enjoy the summer with my family and stop being so stressed.  I'm still trying to be good of course, which is why I haven't put the weight back on, but anyway, hopefully my next update will be a little more drastic.  But the 3.6 km is a big milestone for me!

    1. Awww thanks anonymous! I guess I didn't realize that people other than my friends are reading this. I went and got myself pregnant with baby #2 so that kind of put things on standstill! I'm going to restart this process to help with losing the baby weight though! Also, I will say that I lost a total of 14 pounds prior to getting pregnant, which is awesome because that's a way better prepregnancy weight than what I was!!!!
