2 in one day!!

I don't know what has gotten into to me.  I think its because I'm listening to the breathing of everyone in my house sleeping.  I don't want to turn on the TV so that I don't wake anyone up.

Here is something that I want to share for anyone that has been following my progress.  I started without being able to run up the hill that starts in the drake field parking lot and goes to the fountain.  If you ever think that you can't improve, you are mistaken.  That first week of bootcamp I never thought I would get past that hill.  I now know that the hill is manageable and actually getting easier every day.  I know that I never thought that I would get back to where I was in high school but I am now inching my way there.  I now catch myself when I start to say "can't" even though Charlie still catches me or hears me when it slips.

So moral of the story, don't say can't and you can always improve!!!

I'm a lazy lazy bum!!!

Hey guys!!!  I know that I have been driving you guys crazy not posting anything.  I've been super busy!!  Well kind of busy and the rest of the time I was procrastinating or doing something other than being on the internet.

First off!!  I did my mile time on 10/31/12 and I got a PR of 12:39!  It was super awesome because I was running with everyone else for the long run and we just timed it.  I think I had less anxiety because I knew that I had 3 mile times that I could choose from.  Wish I could do that every single time!  I don't know what my measurements are because I didn't do any of that because I was going out of town.  One thing I can say is that I have fit into the smalles pants so far.  I am finally able to wear my size 18 Levis.  For the guys that read this blog, you are probably thinking that every size 18 is the same, but it isn't.  Levis especially run small.  I also realized that since I was wearing the 20 jeans for a long time they were probably around a size 22 when I started this journey.  Jeans stretch out an I know that they were getting super tight.

On Halloween I went down to see my bestie Caro get married.  I also took Ben (the boyfriend) who is amazing and puts up with my craziness.  We had a blast and as usual Carolyn was beautiful.  I cried almost the whole ceremony because Caro has been my best friend for 10 years and she completely deserves all the happiness in the world.  Btw...Its gonna be a big milestone this month, I've been dating Ben for 2 months.  Craziness!!!  Its super fun and we get along great.

Back to the fitness part, I have hit a plateau with my weight and need to get back on the paleo or diet super strict train soon or I won't lose anymore.  I haven't gained anything but I'm just kind of sitting at a stand still.  Its driving me crazy.  I'm thinking that I have just gotten lax and have been too happy to think about what I'm putting into my body.  I refuse to gain love weight (the weight most people gain when they fall in love) because I have worked too hard to get where I am right now.  Oh and above are some pictures from the wedding and the Cattle Baron's Ball we went to!  Btw, that blue dress is the giant one.  They took 14 inches out of it and it fit like a glove.  Really?  14 inches, *pats self on back*!!!  Now to make Sheila have to take more inches out of it!!!
