Running With a Side of Mayo

Today's Stats 11/1/2011

I ran 1.96 miles in 24 minutes! *Squee* *Double Glittercannon*

Longest distance since I started this blog. Almost 2/3rd's of the way to a 5k.

On the downside, my boobs hurt. Like really bad. Ouch. :(

Fell Off the Wagon

My weekend eating was pretty terrible. My lovely future stepdaughter came down and we ate our way from Baton Rouge to New Orleans and back twice.

I am now aware of another potential pitfall for me. When people come to visit South Louisiana, they want to eat, and they should! However, that doesn't mean that I, as the host, should "vacation eat" too. Let the guest enjoy all the wonderful foods Louisiana has to offer while I enjoy a salad and just have a bite of bread pudding, not the whole thing. :)

In the beginning...

This is what I look like today...no makeup, no spanx :), right after running.

As you can see, all the junk is in the trunk. If I could just reshape my body from about three inches below my belly button to about 4 inches above my knee, I would be perfectly happy with the way I look, besides for a little upper arm flab. But, alas, we all know that's not how it works.

I don't think I look awful. I just think I could look a whole lot better. I definitely don't want to get any bigger, and that is exactly where I am headed if I don't do something.

I'm not sure exactly how much weight I would like to lose total, so I'm going to start with a modest 10 pounds, and then go from there.

Today's Stats 10/26/2011

1 mile 13:50

I don't know why I was so much slower today.

I didn't drink enough water yesterday and it was much hotter and more humid today than Monday.

Oh well. Another mile down.

I also did some quick upper body weights pre-run.

It was pretty pitiful, but I have to start somewhere!
