I was M.I.A. but I'm back!

Hello Morrison Women, so I've been really missing in action, but I'm back. Work has been crazy. Three days to go and of course they are working me to the bone, but who cares, they'll never find anyone as good as me...not that they'll back-fill anyway. Now let's just hope I can bring this confidence to my new job.

So, I have to say, I've been doing really great with my challenge, except this past Friday. We had a potluck at work, and this lady that always brings Philipino food brought pancit and lumpia, and well needless to say, I overdosed. But, since Friday, I've worked in the yard two hours, walked 3 miles, ran 4 miles, and biked 7 miles. I've also kept my eating and carbs way down. P and I have another race on Saturday...trying to lose more, or at least maintain my running weight from the last race. Haven't weighed recently, but plan to do so on Friday. I don't want to make Karen jealous with 125 lbs. He he he. But I don't know yet. I do know that ALL, and I repeat ALL my clothes has all kinds of extra space in them. It's a nice feeling.

I exercise literally every day, which includes weights three times per week. And although I call Friday my rest day, I still work in the yard or wash my car, or do something else where I'm at least active for an hour, even if that means running around the yard with Chloe and Ansen. My exercises include walking, running, biking, and the weights, but I'm getting a little bored with it. P had given me a P90X DVD and I think I'll try that. I think she said it has yoga. I might even find a pilates DVD just to change things up a little. Bottom line is, I feel really good, and haven't felt this way in a while.

I probably weigh about 10 lbs less now than even before I got pregnant with Chloe. My goal weight is no less than 120, and would like to ultimately maintain between 120 and 125. We'll see how that goes.

The way I eat now, you guys would be so proud. Even on the foods I like, I cut down the portion size big time. I even scare myself sometimes by ordering a salad vs. fries, etc...but it's become easier now, so I'm glad about that. I just have to make it a permanent change. One thing I do not do is block myself from the foods that I like. If I do choose to eat something that's a little more fattening than I would care, I just do extra exercise, or cut down my other portions for the rest of the day, or over the next couple days.

We'll see how this all goes. Hopefully you guys are doing well too. It's nice to wear my close-fitting dry fit tops and have no bulges on my back, around that exercise bra area with extra fat pushing out. :-( For me, that's gone, and I think it's the extra exercises I do (Karen, the exercises from Glamour that I showed you and P).

Anyway women-folk, I love you all, and hope everyone is doing well. We have to all pray for D too. Please remember.

Signing off for now. Love Lyn.
