End of week 13 Results

Another loss this week! 1.8 pounds down and I am now over 30 pds total loss since starting Take Shape for Life and over 100 pds lost in the last 4 years!!! I didn't realize until I was typing that that I had hit so many milestones with this weeks weigh in. WOW!! I also bought a size 8 pair of jeans this week. I am still trying to wrap my head around that. As I have been losing the last several months I kept thinking getting into a size 8 would be awesome but I will probably be in a 10 one I hit my goal weight. Well I was sure wrong with that. I am now 9 pounds away from my original goal 13 weeks ago. I have still not added grains back into my eating although it looks like I will this weekend. I have found that I have to have a plan going into each transition or I just get too overwhelemed. I am going to talk with Layne more to get clarification on how to go ahead with the next step and go down to only three medifast meals a day. I am running short of food and I don't want to feel pressured to make the entire switch because I have run out of food. I want to have control over the change! I went for a mile run on Sunday. I was shocked at how awesome I felt doing it. There were a couple of substantial hills that I had to climb but I could breath!!! I really felt like a real runner and not someone out there struggling to be a runner. This is the first time since doing my half marathon 2 years ago that I thought I may want to run another one :-) Yes Katie Murr you heard me say it!! I am so proud of how far I have come and so excited about what is in front of me. Scared but excited. I will post a picture this evening. Jason was working this morning and Gabe was in no mood to take pictures of his mommy! Hope everyone has a great and healthful week....
