Third time's the charm?


I’ve been super inconsistent with this blogging thing. Let me try again! Lots has happened since my last report. Here’s a summary:
Trek Up The Tower – survived, got a sweet medal
Did my first 5K
Did a bunch more 5K’s
Did a 7K off-road race
Did a 5 mile race (hated every minute)
Did a “Try”athlon
Attempted a triathlon
Completed a half marathon
Got licensed as a Zumba instructor

I think my weightloss is the same as last time I posted, and that’s the bummer part. I’ve had a really hard time with the eating, as I always have. I lost 80 pounds by February, but since then I’ve rebounded about 15 pounds. Today is the first day of another new bootcamp challenge, so hopefully that 15 will be gone soon along with some of its friends.

This challenge is different than the others. I got really good at winning the attendance part of those, but never the weightloss. This one isn’t a competition. It’s a “Get Into Your Pants” challenge. We all turned in a pair of goal pants and we have until December 21st to fit into them. I got a pair of 24’s from Target. I haven’t been able to buy pants at Target since…sophomore year of high school? I really want them to fit. Once I’m solidly in a Target size I’ll never have to spend so much on jeans again!!! These were only $25, compared to my $60+ jeans I’ve had to buy at places like Catherines. And they’re cuter, too! Considering I formerly owned size 34/36 pants I’m pretty (read: REALLY!!!) excited to fit into 24’s soon! 

Anyway, it's bedtime now, but I swear I'll write more later. :)
