whoa busy

Didn't forget about the blog- I've been working on some posts but can't seem to pull together my ideas.  Just have been super busy.  Here's whats up:

I'm now working 4 days a week starting this week.  Its crazy busy at work and we are a bit short so I decided to suck it up and take some overtime for the next month.  That leaves me just 3 days a week to work out, which sucks..BUT once I come out of this little over time stint I'll go right into training for OUC 1/2.

My weight loss was going awesome I got almost to my 2nd goal and then STALL the past week and 1/2.  I've actually gained a couple back and not losing the past few days.  Sucks because I'm running more now.   I am feeling better but then I go to try on clothes and they are still tight, so I get frustrated.  We'll see what the next week or 2 brings.  Maybe it will be another big loss.  Big thanks to my work friends who have been really supportive and encouraging and keep telling me how good I'm doing.  You guys are keeping me positive and I appreciate it.

Like I said, I'm running more.  I ran 3 times last week.  2 miles then track on Tuesday (total maybe 5 miles but doing Kenyans and I didn't keep track) then last Thursday I ran 3.22 for the first time without stopping!!  That was the first time I've been able to do that since starting again.  I'm thinking I ran a total of about 10-ish miles last week.  Guess I should wear my Garmin at track to keep track of mileage.  Unfortunately my overtime days are on Tuesdays so I won't be able to make track for a while.  So far this week I've gotten in another 3.22 mile run- without any walk breaks and I took a minute off of my time from last week.  Its coming back. slowly.


Working on a post with my advice for people who say they want to run but they can't and also working on a running playlist to post.  Hopefully I can get it together to share those with you guys.
