Calorie Counting

So, I'm thinking calorie counting has SO much to do with losing weight. I'm at a steady 125! :) WAHOO!! So my next goal, 120. I can't believe I've made it to 125. It's crazy. And it's consistent - not going back up - which is SO good. I do look a ton skinnier in a swim suit, and feel SO much better. There is a huge difference between 133 and 125. I'm sure there's a huge difference between 125 and 120 as well - 120 here we come. I take it a week a time. I just hope to be one lb lighter every week - and it's been working really well. I need to be AT LEAST 120 when I get pregnant... I'm not gonna have large legs, and large arms... then blow up my stomach. I'd be a huge ball of fat. Gross. I envy girls with little legs - when they get pregnant, they don't look fat all over! So that's the goal.

Went to the knee specialist who thinks I tore cartilage in my knee. If that's true, then the shot he gave me should allow me to run without pain for a month or so. If longer, great. But if it solves it... then when it hurts again, they'll have to scope the cartilage. BUT, if it doesn't hurt - then awesome. SO we'll see.

I'm supposed to run over a mile by next week to see if it is hurting. I'm gonna start training for a 5k like I've never run before in my life - basically from couch potato to 5k runner. Hopefully that will help.

And that's all for now. When I get back from Jersey, I'm gonna start p90x again, but two days of yoga at the gym, and plyometrics instead of kenpo. And then Eric and I are going to bike, run, and swim at least once a week to keep up what we have gained from training for the tri.

Now... time for a serious vacation.

  1. Isn't it amazing how the little changes make such a HUGE difference. Being aware of what you're eating and just cutting back a little bit helps SO much!
