7 miles

That is how many miles I ran today. 7, man that's a crazy number to me. Alot of numbers seem crazy huge right now hehe.

It was a good run, the first half was a bit hard. I mean yesterday was our big Dance recital and I was dancing all day. So to get up today and go run 7 miles...... yeah I was feeling it. But I did it and it felt really good. No regrets, that's my motto when I run. Leave it all on the trail or treadmill and have no regrets.

This week I lost 2.6 lbs and I'm down 72.6 lbs. My 75lb key ring is right there and so are the 170's. Last night at the recital I was getting alot of comments on how I looked. It felt really good, I even had one of my best friends there and she commented on how skinny I looked. Then she asked me if I ever remember being this small. I had to think for a min, then it dawned on me...NO, never in my adult life.

Its the truth, my whole adult life I have never been this small, fit, or athletic. I have never been able to say I'm athletic ever in my life, so that's a new one too. It feels so good to finally be accomplishing so much. It was really cool last night at the recital too, one of the ladies from my WW meeting (and her hubby) came last night. Its so awesome to have so much support. I didn't get a chance to see her after the show, so I cant wait to see if she enjoyed it, on Friday.

So can you tell.....

Im having an off week when I dont post. PMS week totally killed me last week. I felt crappy (for lack of a better word) I didnt want to run but I pushed, I wanted to eat EVERYTHING in my house. It sucked!! I had a gain of 0.6 last week. It didnt really bother me I knew it was coming. Getting out of the PMS week mood is hard though.

So this last week I did OK, not great but ok. I lost 2.6 lbs this week. CRAZY!! Im at my 72.6 lbs weight lost total. Im hitting crazy numbers, I mean they are frighting numbers. When I tell someone I lost 72 lbs I get this crazy shocked look. And the truth is, it is crazy, its more then what my 10 year old son weighs. The best part, the part that makes me smile, is that that crazy number is going to get bigger. I cant wait to see it get ridiculously HUGE! I cant wait till Im at goal and people I meet could never imagine me at my starting weight.

My good friend Yentl said to me the other day "I saw you and Mick walking and BOY do you look tiny next to him". Mick is tall and skinny so to thing I look small next to him is so crazy to me.

Im feeling better, PMS week has gave its toll thats for sure. Running is definitely something I have to force myself to do right now, but that's ok cause Im running a 10 min mile right now so I'll take it. The Tinkerbell half is in only 98 days. Im so excited I cant wait to run it. I feel like that is going to be a hung accomplishment for me.
