Moving in the right direction

Finally I am seeing some changes in the scale which makes me so happy.  without really trying that hard I am down 12.2 lbs since the end of May.  This makes me realize that if I put a lot of effort into my diet and exercise over the next 12 weeks I should be at a healthier weight for when we go to Jamaica.  Right now I am dieting and exercising to lose weight...I have a goal weight in mind.  Once I get closer to that weight I will make sure that the healthy eating and exercise have become a lifestyle change and something that I can maintain.  I have said this so many times but this time I want to reach that weight and stay there for the rest of my life.  I need to make sure that I do have some treats every once in a while but plan them and then get right back to the healthy eating.  So many times I do well and then as soon as I have an healthy meal or day I fall into a hole and really struggle to get out and get back on track.  I am so over that!!!!!

I am really going to try and work on the running aspect for exercise.  I want to be able to run the 10k relay in March.  It will take a lot of work but I need to just remember that I can do it and it will take time to build up to that.  I have 7 months to be ready and there is no reason why I can't (I have done 7 half marathons so I should be able to do 10K!!!!).  My main love though for exercise is the bootcamp classes I go to, and the workouts that I do with Jill on the days she doesn't have classes.  I think that it will help that I have been doing these classes pretty consistently with being toned up when the weight starts coming off.

I am going to focus again on meal planning and meal prep.  so much easier to stay on track when the meals are already made :)

Well I must go and get a few things done...clean the trailer...hopefully we get the new one this weekend.  i have a concert tonight too :)
