and.... I am down a total of........... 10 lbs!!!! :) I am now using the school scale because the one at home gives different weights every time you step on it, even if it is minutes apart! 168baby! :) I am almost down to my pre-surgery weight. Man I really wish I was in the competition now! Oh well. My size 13 jeans are so loose, which is the best feeling! I worked out 16/28 days this last month, so my exercise is increasing. I swam 3hrs 20min didnt write down yardage.. close to 4000 though. Ran 10 miles total (by the way, I can run for a lot longer now! Over a mile without stopping.) And Biked for 73.7 miles! That is like Driving 1.5 hours to my parents house that is a 45 min drive and 40 something miles away. HOLY COW!!! :) And did ellipital for an hour instead of running. :)
My only thing is that I have a very hard time getting in work outs that last an hour. Because I do most of this stuff between classes, I can only go for 35 min.. :( But it's showing anything is better then nothing. This next month I would like to run more because last month I think I hit 16 miles or something, but didnt exercise nearly as much.
My goals are to exercise at least 20 of the days in March.
Try to expand workout times that I do in the morning, yes this means waking up earlier.
To WORK ON PORTION SIZES! This is hard for me.. I have yet to succeed. I thought I was eating the good amount. Nope, too much. Boo..
March here I come. I would like to be down to 165 for my birthday on March 23!

End of the month run totals. I ran 14.5 miles this month. And picked up biking the last two weeks and totaled, 21 miles in three rides. What do I have to show for it? Well I lost two inches in my tummy, and lost 3 lbs. I feel like I did so much and only have so little to show for it.

So, I figure I will post two goals, Since I didnt get to run my 5k because of the snow, I want to do that before my birthday. I have picked out one on Feb 20th. :) Also I would love to be down to 140 at the end of the year. Right now I am at 178. I will weigh in every month at the begining of the month and post it here as well as how many miles I ran for the month. I think it will be neat to see how many I run each month and see how many I run in a year. I am for sure not doing 1000 like Kari! She is crazy and sooo much more fit then I am. So I will just see what I do. :)

So I ran 3/4 of mile in the morning, like didnt walk any, and then yesterday afternoon I ran almost a full mile! I only walked 1.5 laps on a 16 lap course!!! I am almost there. I cannot believe it. I am so proud of my self!!! :) OH and my time is down to 11 min. FASTEST EVER!!!! *yay*

im doing it. the nutritionist has been helping keep me in check, and the working out has been awesome, and all the training and intervals has led to this. My first 5k! :) Now I am not a runner, never have been, BUT I have been working on getting my mile time lower and lower. I am at 14 min miles. Not great, but being as I hadnt run since middle school, you have to start someplace. So this 5k is called a resolution run. And It's my first, and will kick off this new year great because I am doing a triathalon in june. I have swimming down pat, just have to get running better, and start working on biking. I am exciting. And I feel like there will be many more 5k's and it would be awesome to actually place in one of them this year. All my thanks goes to Kari for helping me out! And being an inspiration to me!!

The nutritonist thing has been going well, I have been sticking with eating more and more fruit, and veggies! I am kinda in need of a variety of veggies, but I have a hard time unless I buy a veggie tray. But I believe that just changing those few things have been helping. So as long as I keep seeing changes I will stick with it and keep shovin in the fruits and veggies. :)

I am seeing a nutritionist at the school. We are setting mini goals that will help me to get a healthier diet. I also did a test for thyroid.. I get the results either today, or tomm. Maybe that's why I cannot loose weight.
