WOOHOOO!!! since moving here to Hot Springs I have lost 5 lbs. I have been munching celery and carrots for first time and when have a sweet tooth I grab some apple slices. It is working.

Unbelievable workout today. All of our stuff, that we had been waiting on from the moving company, finally arrived!!! Only took them two weeks to get it to us. Was 105 boxes. Half had to be carried up one flight of stairs to my place and the other half had to be carried up two flights of stairs to my Grandma’s place. Took me over and hour to do it, but I did it. By time it was over my legs were burning. I am the STAIRMASTER !!!

Weighed myself this morning and down another 3 lbs!!! I was totally shocked. Is great incentive to keep going.

I have decided hunting for a lost cat counts as a workout. With all the walking, climbing up to look over high walls, the up and down stairs, and chasing after two possible cats, it burned some calories. I just wish I had found my cousin’s cat.

wooohooo down 5 lbs!!!  Even with holidays and midterms I have managed to keep scale SLOWLY moving in the right direction. It is not a lot, but it is some. It is so much better than going up or even staying same. It is progress at least.

WOW been way too long since I made a post, but for good reason.  I was focused on my midterm finals. It was hard, but I managed to pull straight A’s for the entire semester. My teachers are even asking me if I want to switch into the honors courses, which is a big NO. It was hard enough with the regular courses. Anyway with those out of the way, now I can go back to focusing on fitness. 

Diet wise I haven’t cheated too badly. Since last post I even managed to still drop a couple of pounds. This week since it has been nice out I have even been back outside walking/jogging for about an hour. This has also been supplemented with lots of packing and moving boxes. My mom keeps finding more and more stuff to not take with us to Arkansas. So I am doing lots of heavy lifting. Last night was a crib, dresser, and boxes into her friend’s truck. Would have helped if they had parked closer than half a block away.

I also found out my dad has been training to run with me in Arkansas. Not sure how I feel about that. Well at least I can mess with him by making the old man keep up with me.

Looking forward to nice weather in Arkansas. We are moving to Hot Springs and based on the pics it looks like a great place to do life outdoors. Lakes to swim in, trails to hike, parks to explore. It even has a great water park/theme park that I plan to use often. My mom and I like to eat out. She has made the rule for there if we want to eat out we have to walk there and not drive. That should help cut down on the calories.

I swear more posts from now on to those of you that follow me. And pictures too since there will be lots of great shots to take from now on. Driving cross country from Reno, NV to Hot Springs, AR. There has to be photo ops along the way.

I am so jealous right now. I just read another blog where they competed in the Disney marathons this weekend. That sounds totally fun.  I have been there a couple of times with my mom, and we plan on going back next year for my little sisters third birthday. I didn’t know about the marathons until today.  That so has to go on my to do list. Those medals are awesome.
