My back has been hurting a LOT more these days... especially after these 30 minute runs...

But I know I'm doing a good thing... just hope my back gets better/stronger/whatever it needs

Chugging Away
Just call me the Little Engine that Could (and Can! and Will!)
I had a 4.0 gain over a week ago that was really frustrating. Yes, I did participate in Cake Day at school (aka Kimmie's cell project)... but I had allotted the points for it! I guess it just goes to show how little tolerance my body has toward carbs!
But I kept at it, had a BIRTHDAY, and STILL lost 5.0 pounds this past week! Woot!
I've really been going strong, making smart eating choices, kicking my butt on the treadmill at the gym, and I'm down an even 30 pounds...
I would LOVE to be down to 155 for my Yeariversary on March 26th - but I don't know if I can lose 6.4 pounds in 3 weeks... we'll see... I feel like I'm sweating it off at the gym, that's for sure!
Onward and upward...

Told ya I meant it :)
Two weeks ago I blogged and recommitted myself to this weight loss journey.
Here I am to say, see, told ya I meant it.
Last Saturday I lost 6.6 pounds. This past Saturday I lost 1.2 - That puts my total loss back over 30 pounds...
My 1 year anniversary is in 6 weeks... can't wait to see what I've accomplished at that time.
Yeah 2012!

Where I've Been and Where I'm Going
Hi, my name is Katie and I'm a blog slacker.
"Hi, Katie!"
Okay, first the excuses. The whole inspiration for this quest was looking good for Becky and Jason's wedding on 9/3/11. Success. At that point, I had lost 25.4 pounds and was doing great. Shortly after, I was cast in a production of "Rent", the musical. Great, more inspiration to look good... have to impress the fans. :)
Then things went downhill. As my theater friends will tell you, an intensive rehearsal schedule can kill you. Once I hit tech week, my eating patterns went back to fast food extremes, I didn't have time to exercise, blah blah blah... Then Bob got really sick and eventually passed, then I was in NY for a stint, then it was the holidays, then I went on a cruise... blah blah blah.
So yeah, I was busy. An excuse? A reason? Don't know, don't care - it's in the past. At my best, I was down 34.6 pounds. The last 2 months I gained a bunch of that back. As I sit here typing, I've gained back 12 of those pounds.
The bad news - that sucks. That was 12 pounds that took forever to take off. It's 12 pounds that's gonna take ANOTHER forever to take off again.
The good news - I'm back on track. Back at my WW meetings, back at Planet Fitness, back in a motivated mind set.
So now, I just need to keep my eyes on the prize and go. I'm still 22.6 pounds lighter than I was when I started March 26, 2011. I'm healthier, and I'm in better shape...
Now it's just time to keep going. Time to be skinny. Or at least sweetly slender.
