I think I can, I think I can.

So the New Year is almost 2 weeks in.  Tomorrow is week #2 weigh-in for me.  At this point, I know I will see a loss.  Last night on a whim, I took out my tape measure.  I took measurements before I started.  11 days of running (well, 10) - and I lost 1 inch off my hips and 2.5 off my waist!  I knew that working out really helps me to keep my baby belly sucked in as opposed to the alternative which is a not so flattering, let it all hang out.

So, I will take my official measurements after the first month, but this is incentive!!  I also realized if I can run 4 miles on the treadmill or outside - after only 2 weeks of working out then in 4 more months I should be ready to run 13.1 miles.

Happy 2012!

So, I rang in the New Year fast asleep next to my hubby who had to get up very early to go to work.  I had a twinge of excitment as I laid out my workout clothes and set my alarm for 5:30 am.  I am not excited about getting up early.  I am excited about starting anew, having a healthy start to my New Year.  I woke about 5:15 when Dylan was whining and got up to go workout.  I ran 3 miles in 36 minutes (nothing impressive by far, but more the start).  I have ate well through breakfast and lunch, though it has been a struggle.  Dinner will be a normal family meal, with a small to average serving size.

Good Luck in your resolutions for 2012!!
