I'm BACK!!!! May is over...let June begin!

Well, I have good news and better news! 

i spent the month of May "off".  It wasn't on purpose.  I really planned on running 4 days a week and training for the "Soldier Field 10 miler". A race I ran yesterday in benefit for the American Cancer Society! 

Even though I didn't "work out", I did watch my calorie intake, and DADA---didn't gain any weight!!!  i didn't lose any weight.  Well technically, I weighed myself this morning and I gained 0.2lbs....but Im ok with that:)

So...I still have these pesky 10 pounds to lose in the next 98 days...yep, that's right 98 days, and I did a much better job when I was blogging and was accountable to you.  So....I'm back!

The workouts won't be as structured.  I don't have the flexibility at this time to make a 30 day commitment to one type of workout, but I have a couple of workouts still purchased, and will be running with my buddy Carolyn about once a week and trying to do Bikram about one other day a week,  I will figure out something else to do the other 2 days a week.

I will eat better.  As of today, I am cutting out alcohol for the month of June....yikes!  I mean it's boating season...I don't know that I have ever been on a boat without a beer....I'm kinda not sure it's allowed...but I am going to try!  I know that will help jump start me back into weight loss.

So, yesterday I ran the Soldier Field 10 miler.  I didn't train.  I probably ran 10 miles in the last month!  So, I was very nervous going into the race.  I wasn't going to put any unrealistic expectations on myself.  I was hoping to finish in under 2 hours, and figured I would walk somewhere around mile 6.
But, I did it!  I ran the whole thing!  I finished in 1:46 minutes and felt awesome...well, minus the pesky knee that is still hurting today.  I should go to yoga today...but am not hydrated enough, so I will try to go tomorrow!

Anyways- the base line for the next 4 weeks:
weight: 142.8
BMI- 24.4
Chest- 37 inches
Waist- 31 inches
Hips- 38 inches

See you next week.
