Week 8

Wow, week 8 already!!! I can't beleive it is already here! This past week has been pretty busy... But I managed to get in three runs, and two cardio workouts! Not bad! Wish I could've done more... but I still managed to lose 2 pounds this week!!! Slowly but surely I will be at my goal! I did manage to break that milestone I was talking about... barely today, but I did it! YAY! So here are this weeks pics! Sorry for the few, not very glamourous, it was just after a run!

These were the ones that I was saying was just after the run! Not bad for just running 2.9 miles!

This one was taken Saturday before a relief Society brunch!

And this one is just after I had my hair all cut off! A new look for the half of me thats left!

Week 5,6, & 7

So I guess most of you check this thing for the pics, so we will get that part out of the way!! :) Here is what I have from the past week, enjoy!

I look mad in this one, but don't look at the face, just the rest!

My personal fav, and not sure why?

hehehehehe, me with all my attitude and all!

Oh this one is so pretty!

Ok everyone, so tomorrow is week seven, and sorry for skipping week 5, but not much happened, and I was so dang busy! But I know there are people following, so I will post! :)

Week 5 and 6: Gained 2 pounds (not sure how the heck I managed it...) lost 4. So I broke even, then lost two more... I still have one more milestone I am trying to get past. I can't give you a number, but it will be a big deal for me. I haven't weighed that since before three of my babies! I only have one more pound and I am there! So I am excited, and looking forward to running it off this week! I am finding I can eat a little more. Still just a very little bit will fit, but it is more then the first and second week... Ok more than the first four weeks! LOL My kids think it is funny that mommy doesn't eat even as much as they do. In fact I still eat about half of what they do! But I guess it's ok! I had my doc run blood work this week, mainly becuase I feel so tired all the time, so I thought my iron level was off again, but he said everything is good! So we will see if it goes away with time. Well so far thats it for this week...

Ok, pics from week four!

Front view
Side view, man my bottom is still really round! Looks like another mile of running tonight...

Front view again!!! My fav! I think the front view is the most impressive, only because my curves are smooth again!!!! LOL

Video's for the surgery

Sorry I never posted this, and just realized it! LOL! Pretty gruesome for some to watch. Dade loves the second video! He has watched it several times.

to give you an idea.....

Ok so Mom left over a week ago .. It has been rough, but I am making it! So updates..... hmmm... Where to start... Well I went to the Doc's, and he cleared me for real food this week. I had gained two pounds when I was there, but I have lost those, plus two more. Who knows where it goes..... As of Sunday, I lost another inch of my tummy, as depressing as it is, I only lost 1/2 inch of my bottom, and 1/2 inch of thighs. I am thinking the 1/2 inch thing is becuase I only ran three days last week. LOL! This week however has been better. I have ran everyday since Saturday. I upped my run from 1/2 mile to a full mile. I did this because I gained two pounds last week, and wasn't happy with that number. It hasn't killed me, but some nights it hurts! But like Will says, "pain just lets you know you are still alive". I am glad he loves me! LOL! I guess thats it for now, sorry no new pics, but I haven't been able to get any good ones! I will though, adn I will post! Thanks for following, I Love the support!

The beginning of Week 4

I am finally not as sore as I have been which is good. I uped the run a bit, and still feeling good. However it has been extremely frustrating this week, because I have only lost one pound! I guess I should be glad it is one pound, but still! I want to see numbers!!! I do feel it though, all my clothes are too big and hang off now, and I finally got into pants comfortably that I haven't been able to wear for 4 years! So thats a plus! I guess thats it for this week. Will post pic next week. No big changes this week.... Thanks for checking up on me!

Week 3

Well I feel great! I haven't lost anything this week yet, but weigh-in is on Sundays. I feel like I have lost inches though. I am still really sore, but I am back to running, I was up to a mile. After that I hurt, so I have backed it down a bit. I jog about half a mile and fast-pace walk the rest of the 1.5 miles. It is enough to make me feel it, but I still don't feel like I am really working enough at it. I am going to start at the gym this coming week. With Will being gone, it is hard to stay still at home, so I am not getting the rest I wish I could. I always hear everyone say "you should take it easy", but no one else is here to do my job, and I don't need to get farther behind! So for now, I just push through, and make the best of it. The only pain I have and have had, is the one big incision. There are stitches in the muscle and I feel it everytime I use those muscles. If I sneeze, or cough, oh man it feels like I am bursting them! It does hurt, but I know in the long run it will be worth it. For now, I am happy! I am thanking God for a successful surgery, Good Doctors, and great support!
