hit a mini-goal!

I finally, finally, finally got down to 190.7!!!  I wanted to hit 190 at the end of this month, but ahead of time is just as good!

I want to hit 180 in Augusta and 170 in November.  I would love to be 170 for my brithday (Nov. 1) this year.  I’m guessing I’ll be a size 12 and I NEVER was a 12.  I just blew up fast having babies.  This will be exciting!  :)

I am trying a calorie shifting trick.  I eat a small, protein/carb/fruit breakfast because that’s all my body wants.  I work out about 1/2 hr after breakfast.  So by 11:30, I eat a big lunch.  I put in carbs/veggies/fruit/protein.  I eat a big salad to really fill myself up b/c I’m so hungry after working out.  For dinner, it’s small, like a lunch usually is, and I cut out carbs unless I plan to run the next day.  I did this b/c my body suggested it.   Then I read that it’s called calorie shifting and your body just responds to it better.  :D  Neat!

I weight train a few days a week, bike ride, power walk, still learning to run, do yard work, Pilates- whatever.  My goal is an hour of activity a day, which I, in all fairness, manage 3-5 times a week.  Still, it’s a whole ‘nother world from where I used to be.  I’ll just keep going, slow and steady.
