Wow, it's been a while since I've posted! Where has the time gone? I guess I've been busy!

Over the past couple of weeks, I had sick kids and sick me which threw a wrench into the workouts. So, for an entire week, I worked out once which really bit me when I headed back on Monday to start running again. Holy mercy, it felt like I was dragging 20 pound weights around on my legs while trying to run. BUT, I am back at it now, have 2 days of running behind me and am starting to feel good. I've also had 2 really good deficit days this week.

Monday's Stats:
Calories Burned: 3513
Calories Consumed: 1654
Calorie Deficit: 1859

I'm feeling really good this week. Watching Biggest Loser always keeps me so motivated. Watching the contestants shed weight and gain confidence is what inspired my journey to begin with. Little did I know that just starting exercise would boost the way I felt about me. That's where I started and it grew into more. It's like a thirst, you do more, you want more. It feels so incredibly awesome to move my body and to start feeling more and more comfortable in my own skin.

This weekend, I hope to help spread the "get moving" and "change your life" contagiousness that I've got running around in my brain. I am helping the fitness coordinator at my gym with a new weight loss club. That starts Saturday, which I'm totally excited about. Not so much for my own benefit, but if I can even share anything I'm doing to help motivate someone else, it's worth it. I know I could do this on my own a, but what a good way to meet and motivate people. I know there are people out there where I was 5 months ago and I'd love to show them that it can be done.

My weight loss from April 5-May 5 was 8.9 pounds. I felt really awesome about that. I will officially report weight again June 5. I will weigh in weekly, but due to fluctuations I prefer to officially report once a month because it is a more accurate loss measurement.....though if I have a really good week, don't be surprised to see me post the results lol.

Okay....now onto the GIVEAWAY. Post in the comments section of TODAY'S post and it automatically enters you to win.........
