Walk, walk, walk…. =)

I’ve really been loving my walking lately.  I’ve even been jogging a little, on the treadmill :) Yay!!!

So, because it’s been a great motivator, I signed up for a local affiliate for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5k run/family fun walk in June.  Some friends and I are walking in honor of a mom at our elementary school, who is only 35 and is battling breast cancer. :( We are hoping to really rally for her!   The walk should be awesome! And it’s for a great cause. 

Just wanted to share my excitement…..maybe one day I’ll actually RUN! lol!!

Got my MoJo back ;) lol!!

What an awesome weekend it has been for my motivation!  I walked 4 1/2 miles yesterday with a girlfriend.  When we were gabbing and walking, the miles fly by. :)

I really am proud of myself for finding my MoJo again ;)  I haven’t felt myself for awhile now.  Losing the 3 lbs this week and breaking my plateau has given me a newfound energy.  It’s funny….I try to stay positive when the scale doesn’t move, but when it’s acting like it has for the past few weeks, you get really discouraged. :(

This journey isn’t easy, but I keep reminding myself that the payoff is soooooo worth the effort! :) Have a great Sunday Buddy Slimmers!!

Breaking a plateau…finally! =)

It seems like I’ve been battling the same few pounds up and down.  I’ll maintain for awhile, then lose a lb, then maintain, then gain a lb.  It gets to be frustrating.  I appreciate all the support from my fellow BSrs…..It means so much to not be so alone in this weight loss battle.  Some of you are already near or at your goal, and please know you are all SUCH an inspiration! :)

 Well, I got on the scale this a.m. and it showed a 3 lb loss!!! I just didn’t believe it.   I moved the scale across the floor and tried again…..still 3 gone….so I waited and moved the scale again…..STILL 3 gone!! :) I was ecstatic!!! I’ve kept a positive attitude thru all the gains, but losing really gives you that little extra “UMPHHH” you need to feel good about yourself and the hard work! :) ((Hugs to all))
