It's gonna happen, I know it!

I'm gonna get there! To ALL of my goals. I'm too determined not to! I just know I'm going to be down to goal #1 by the fair. By SEPT 9TH! IT WILL HAPPEN! DO YOU HEAR ME PEOPLE?!? :) Haha. I have decided, me being the chronic weigher that I am, I am going to wait until next Wednesday to weigh myself again. I weighed myself tonight at my in-laws, which that's another problem I have, not weighing at the same time, and I was up a pound, to 215. LAME! I'm not getting down on myself though, first of all it's only a pound, our bodies fluctuate a lot every day, and it was a different time than I weighed the other day. But I decided that I spend too much time focusing on that number going down. Especially after looking at the pics I posted last night (check out the blog below if you haven't already!), I've only lost about 9lbs since last month but yet I see a HUGE difference in how I look in pics, much more than I had noticed before. I have "felt" like I'd lost some, that I thought I looked smaller, but until I compared and REALLY saw the difference, it didn't feel like that much. 9lbs is quite a bit, but when you have SO much to lose ahead of you, it doesn't seem like that much. But at least it's always going in the right direction, right?! :) So anyway! I'm going to *try* to not step on the scale for 1 week! And see where I'm at. I'm just gonna focus on what I put in my mouth, how much water I drink and what I do for working out and we'll see how it goes. So... wish me luck!! :)

Today I went for a 2 mile run, felt amazing as usual, and then for a 7 mile bike ride with my SIL Heidi. Always a good time. :) It just feels good to workout. I feel so lucky to be at that point, where it feels awesome, where I miss it if I don't get a chance to go, that I actually look forward to being able to go do it. I'm thinking about getting another pair of Vibrams. For those of you who don't know, these shoes are a-m-a-z-i-n-g! These are actually the one I have, but I'm thinking about getting a pair with a strap, like these. We'll see. I just love them and I would really like to get another pair too. For anyone who runs or is thinking about running, these are seriously a must have. I wouldn't ever run in any other shoe again!

Well I suppose, not much else to update on tonight. I hope you all enjoyed your hump day! It's almost the weekend!! :)
1. I'm thankful to be able to run.... and run and run and run. And that it actually feeeeelllssss good!
2. I'm thankful to be a mommy! This has been the best job I've ever had in my life.
3. I'm thankful that although we don't get to see him much as of late, that my hubby works so hard to take care of us!
Love
