130

No updates; long time.

Etc etc.

I won't bore you with my excuses, but things have actually been going pretty well. I'm under 150 still, 148.4 to be exact. So I probably will make my goal to be 148 comfortably by vacation time.

I'm moving my body, not a ton, not to excess, but I'm doing it regularly and for at least 30 minutes.

I'm doing okay with food. Calories are fine, but there's my usual issue of not enough veggies. Plenty of lean protein and whole grain carbs though.

The big news though: DA DA DA DAAAAAAH: I'm signed up for a 10 miler. :)

I have a training schedule all figured out. My 20 week countdown starts June 3rd. So June 3rd I'm going to start a 10 week 10K program. And then after that I will immediately start a 10 mile program. My goal is to finish with out walking. Even if it's a painfully slow trot.

Until June 3rd I will be gently exercising. Cardio and weights and stretching. A nice long warm up period basically for the 2.5 months of working out I have planned.

My vacation will be right before June 3rd. So that works out really well for me. Plus I'll be walking all over the place with a backpack on. (Although I'll be eating all kinds of yummy French and Italian meals...mmm.)

I'm really looking forward to this challenge. I think I really needed something to motivate me to really get back in top form.

*excited*

122

Ehhh...my caring has pretty much gone out the window. Which isn't to say I've given up or anything (although it also means I'm not marching determinedly towards my goal), I'm just very distracted right now.

Last weekend I was in NY at formal with my boyfriend. It was fun. It was also lazy and full of pizza and alcohol. In a couple weeks I'll be in Europe. That's going to be awesome and I'm so excited for it, but it's going to cost a lot of money and I'm trying to figure out my budget and such right now.

I return from Europe on Wed--that Friday I have a bachelorette party. Which will be fun, but full of food and alcohol and also potentially expensive. The next Friday I have a bridal shower AND bachelorette party which require more presents, and plane tickets. Which I will smother with food and alcohol. The NEXT Friday I'm going to Philadelphia for a house party which will include--you guessed it: food and alcohol.

So basically I'm going to be spending a ton of money in the next few months, and there will be plenty of food and alcohol for me to drown my sorrows. At the moment I'm still eating well but exercise has fallen by the wayside.

I'm going to try and get some exercise in to lose a few pounds for europe. If I can be comfortably at 148 when I leave I'll be happy.

This morning I was at 151, but my period will start today or tomorrow so that's inflated.

We'll see.
