Cleanse update!

It's Day 4, I'm down 4 lbs and 85 overall. What can I say? I took advantage of my last weekend before the cleanse and we bbq'd with both our fams. Lol consequently, Monday when I started, I was up 2 lbs so I was only down 81 lbs overall. Sooooo I guess depending on which number you use, I'm either down 4 lbs since Monday, or 2 lbs since Sunday. :) Either way, I'll take it!!! I am also 3 total inches smaller since Monday. I have lost an inch each off my waist, belly & hips. :) Best of all is I feel amazing!!! I'm hoping to lose several more lbs before Sunday, but I am also being realistic and even if I only lose these few pounds, I'll still be very happy. :) if I lose more I'll be thrilled, if not I'll just chalk it up to I was obviously already pretty cleaned out. Lol :). We shall see! Only a few days left and tomorrow I can finally eat meat again!! Woohoo! :) But, as of today,

I AM OFFICIALLY DOWN TO 185 lbs!!!!!!!

Can you believe it?! Sometimes I can't. Had it not been such hard work I wouldn't believe it!! I am less than 10 lbs away from weighing less than my hubby, I am 10 lbs away from weighing less than I did at least at one point in MIDDLE school. I believe I weighed about 170-180 when Justin and I first got together, 6 years ago. :) I am so proud of myself, I hope that doesn't sound awful, but I really am. When I saw on Sunday that I was officially over my plateau, and easily into the 180's, I cried. I just feel SOOOO much emotion with this whole process. It was seriously one of the best feelings ever. I just felt so incredibly proud of myself and all that I've accomplished and how close I get everyday to my first ultimate goal. I can remember what 270, what 250, what 225, what 200 felt like. I have come so far. It feels so good to have people compliment on how great I look, to use the word "skinny" even though I know I'm FAR from that, I'm not delusional, lol but still. Especially ppl I haven't seen in awhile. It feels amazing to have at least one or two people ask me every.single.day what I'm doing, that they want to make changes or telling me that I've inspired them to do something about getting healthy. Do you know how humbling and how truly amazing that feels??? It really does my heart good. I love it. I love that so many people have realized if I can do it, so can they. It's such a great feeling. Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox about that. :)

 I am seeing my doc on Monday for a possible stress fracture in my ankle. I am sincerely hoping it's not, but it's only gotten worse in the last couple weeks, not better. I finally decided, after doing some research, that IF it is a stress fracture, it can take 6-8 wks to heal. Obviously if it is I want to take the time to let it heal so I can run in The Color Run in June. THAT is the run that is important to me. However, if it's not a stress fracture, I wanna know that too so I know I can take it a little bit easy, but keep training so I can run the 2 races I have coming up. So, we'll see. Doc was full today and out of the office tomorrow so I go Monday for X-rays and then see him afterwards so we'll see what he says. I know I'm sure praying for the best!!!!

 Not much else to update on. I think we decided not to go to family day on Sunday for Justin's unit because he got an email yesterday saying its going to be 3 hours at the skating rink And that's it. Previous years it was all day at the bowling alley and they did different things. I just don't think it's worth going all that way for 3 hours of not much happening. But anyway, we talk to the recruiter again tomorrow bc he had to reschedule today, the he does MEPS and pretty much all the finalizing on Monday. Getting closer!!!! Hope you all are doing well!!
