My Weight Loss

Back in the saddle, on the horse, bandwagon....you get the picture.


So I took the holidays off both on purpose and on accident. I only meant to take a week or so off to enjoy the holidays. But it seemed to stretch over a longer period of time. Oops. Oh well, I can either let it hinder me or just get over it, I decided on the latter. 

Yesterday I ran and walked. Not even sure how many I ran or walked, just kept going. At my gym 11.6 laps are actually equivalent to a full mile.  Today, I walked a couple of laps, ran 6, walked a couple, ran 6 then walked a couple. I am working on building up for 3 miles in Feb. So in order to do a full mile I need to do 12x3=36 laps straight. I know this will be hard, but I'm working on it. 

I think right I am focusing on cardio, running and walking and eating correctly. And after the race I will go back to incorporating lifting. I feel as though I need to get rid of the extra fat around my body first and foremost. 

My scary thoughts are extra skin. I realize I was/am not super heavy, but I will have extra skin around my body. I have absolutely no idea how to fix this part. (any advice is welcome) 

Anyway, tonight I am attempting a healthy version of friend chicken. Not a clue what to make with it, but we get there when it is time to get there. 

Anyway, kicking butt and taking names.
