all we have are our love and our guts, baby.

3 miles today. :) Making progress. Slow, but good. Beth had us make goals and incentives for personal training, and I think that is going to be helpful. My big goal is this one: 20-25 pounds lost by the end of June. That's going to be the hard one. My others are a little bit easier: run a 5k, 15 perfect push-ups, and use of the T/walking/riding my bike instead of using my car. I think all of these goals will make me proud when achieved.

Went to Total Body Conditioning yesterday...Jonathan kicked my ass! I was so sweaty and gross by the end of it. And today I did the run, which also kicked my ass. But Enrique Iglesias took care of that.

That's my update. Slow and steady wins the race.

Love,

nobody said this would be easy, right?

So,

this week was sort of lame. My body fat went down (which is great, by .3), but my weight stayed basically the same. Granted, I only made it to the gym 3 times (4 including personal training today), and I had a couple of oopsies in the food department (bailey's one night, pad thai another).

I'm not giving up.

I've seen way too many people I love give up, and the result is self-pity and weight gain and sadness.

Week 3 of personal training. I'd like to see some pounds gone by week 8 (which is the very last week), and then I want to keep losing until June. I'm doing the pound for pound challenge (which is great). I pledged 30 pounds. Here's the link if you so desire:

It's just been an off week for me. I'm ready for spring break to come, and I've been sort of slacking in a few different departments. I just need to believe that I can do this, not allow myself to be a victim.

Break is just around the corner! March 14th-21st.

Send me some love, ya'll.
