Thought I would give you an update on my running... I think I'll give you all a report about once a month... Maybe one more reason to keep it going! You'll be waiting with bated breath for it, I'm sure.
So today I ran the farthest yet... 2.4 miles! I'm really starting to kinda... (what?) like... it....!!! I get excited to see how far I can go. It also makes me feel strong, which is a new and fun feeling to have. :)
However... I have not lost another pound. :( Last month I focused on getting more protein and on most days I do a pretty good job of that. Now I think I'm going to have to really focus on writing down EVERYTHING I eat, because it just works, usually.
I hate it, but I'm just not the type of girl who is gonna drop weight easily. What is with the people who stop drinking soda or diet soda and stop eating fast food and drop like 40 lbs??? Seriously! NOT FAIR!
Turns out I do have PCOS according to my family DR. Plus I'm getting old... just look ---- I had a birthday last weekend! 2 strikes against me... Plus chubby genetics... Thanks mom and dad.
Okay enough of that... it is what it is.
Overall I feel good and Jason swears I'm looking thinner... I laugh at him, but he's good like that.
And I am going to sign up for a 5K. I just have to figure out when. There is one in Tacoma on Sept. 13th, which would be perfect, but that is Ben's birthday, so I may or may not sign up for it. Soon though... very soon!
In other news....
Here is the bike I ordered.
CUTE!! Huh!! Look Monica it is sort of like the one you were talking about. It is dark blue, with baby blue rims... SWOON...
I'm getting a brown wicker basket for the front too. I really can't wait!
Here is the helmet I ordered too.
I love it.
I was going to get this one.
but it was out of stock. Just like that black bike! DANG! It's cute! But I don't have a helmet at all and I can't ride without one. I have to be a good example, sooooo I went with the blue, which I love anyway.
So that's the last couple days wrapped up in a nutshell. My friend Sarah and I are having a garage sale this weekend, so I've got to get ready for that. Garage sales are so much work, but I'm glad I'm doing it with a friend... Way more fun!
Later gators!

pounds dont matter....inches do :) you probably ARE getting thinner....besides that muscle weighs more so the scale may not be doing anything but you are getting healthier!! I am sooooo jealous of you running...i hate to run so bad and wish that were not the case....GO JILL!!!!!

You're lucky you can run...my knees are shot from many years of running and I need a Depends. ha.
The bike is too darn cute! That'll build up the quads and calves to make running easier too!
Have fun!

I was just wondering if you could let me know where you found that bike! I visited your website from being over at Karen's (wishing I could get into a photography class)! I love it. You girls are so fun. I have been looking for a red bike like this one. All help appreciate.
Have a great day!
Michele
