Weigh in.

Today was weigh in!!!

I didn't do as well as I'd hoped, but that's okay.  I lost .4 pounds- gained a whole pound since yesterday's weigh in.  But TOM is here!  Ah well...a loss is a loss.  I'll take it.  I read on someone's blog once that losing .02 pounds is the same amount as losing a teaspoon's size of fat; and .4 pounds is equivalent to losing a bar of soap.  I guess I lost a bar of soap off my ass this time.  I'LL TAKE IT!!!

I did run 6 miles this morning...that felt AWESOME.  I am starting to remember why I just love running so much.  There were several times in the run that I wished I had my camera so that I could show you guys how awesome my run is; but alas I didn't take it today.  Maybe tomorrow if you're lucky. :)  My runs are starting to get a little smoother and more even keeled (which is good).  I really pushed myself to sprint hard the last 7 blocks to just push myself a little more...I mean, I realized today- why not push myself?  I hate pushing myself sometimes, but it's MY workout.  It affects MY body- so I should push it and really try to burn every last calorie I can...right?  Plus Ragnar is next month.  I haven't been training.  Any little thing I can do to help get myself in better shape quick, I will do. :)  I feel like the queen of the world if I push myself even an ounce. :)

Tonight I went to an event for a friend of mine who is doing the Mormon Bachelorette.  It was a nice little soirée event where everyone dressed up and we had "mocktails" (since mormons don't drink) and she was introduced and some of the bachelors were there- etc.  I took a few snapshots before I left with one of my close girlfriends, you'll recognize her from other pictures I've taken in the past as well, and a few other friends of ours that were around jumped in and snapped a few with us too.  I love my friends in Huntington Beach!  Normally I wouldn't post these, but since the other girls asked me to post them on facebook, I decided to add them here as well so those of you who aren't my friends on facebook can see them too!  There are only a few- but here they are: (I'll post some more pics of the event once they're posted on FB):




What's new with YOU????

  8. A loss is a loss! And I can't wait to get up to running 6 miles. I'm stuck at 3 right now, and even that is way slow. But I'm sure you're beachside run is a motivation...
