It's been a while!

Hello there everyone...wow it has been a long time and I am so sorry!  It's not because I have  quit on myself or stopped anything, my life has just been so busy and it is finally somewhat slowing down!  2 weeks ago at my weigh in I lost I think it was 1.6 pounds so I weighed in at 194 pounds!  I can't believe it!  That is a 22.8 pound weight loss for Biggest Loser and a 26.8 total pounds loss since the week before I began biggest loser!  I seriously can't believe I am so close to the 80's!  It is so crazy!  But last week at my weigh in...I have to be honest I gained point 8 pounds!  I know it's nothing crazy it's just very frusturating working as hard as I am and not losing...and at that gaining a little bit!  I feel like I am at a stand still right now and I don't understand why!  I have changed up my eating this week, but still have not seen a huge change in the scale yet.  I know I will soon though.  But the most exciting news is that the marathon is this Sunday!  WOO HOO!  I can't believe it is so close....all this training and it is finally here!  I feel confident other than the fact that last Wednesday I was in my salon and hit my toe on this board and broke it or did something to it:(  I can walk ok on it kind of, but it hurts, so Jonathan said I should wear this boot just to be safe until the marathon!  I feel like an idiot wearing it just for my toe, but I wuld be sick If I started the run and was unable to finish!  But just needs some prayers that it heals before then!  Well guys hoping for a god weight loss on Saturday along with an amazing run on Sunday~  Everyone should come out to the marathon on Sunday...it's such a fun experience and it might even get you pumped to start running if you already don't!  Super proud of my sister Lindsey for running the 2nd leg of the marathon(5k)  she has recently started running and she is doing awesome!  SO PROUD OF YOU MY BEAUTIFUL SISTER!  GOOD LUCK!  As always thank you all so much for all your support...can't wait to blog after the marathon to let you know how it went!

April 7th Biggest Loser weigh in!

Well....this past was such an awesome week for me!  I knew what I wanted out of the week, so I went out and got it!  First of all I knew I needed to do a 20 mile run sometime last week because it was that time in my training!  I was pretty nervous considering I had not run in almost a month due to not being able to breath, but I felt GREAT!  I planned my run for Thursday...woke up started it around 6:50 a.m. and ran the entire 20 miles!  It took me 4 hours and 40 minutes!  I was so excited because I expected it to take me at least 5 hours, but I truly believe I ran so well because of the weight I have loss and the muscle I have built.  Less than 3 weeks till the marathon!  I am so pumped and can not believe it is almost finally here!  After 5 and a half months of training!  I was pretty emotional at the end of my run bc I couldn't believe I had actaully done it, and because in my life I have made goals and met them, but none ever this big and one that seemed so extreme to me.  But that brings me to my weight loss for this week, which I feel is another extreme goal that I am actually going to get to! At the last biggest loser weigh in I weighed 203 .6 pounds!  This week I weighed in at 196 pounds!!!!   AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....I DID IT....I am under 200 pounds!  I have not been here in almost 3 years!  I am now pre Molly Mae weight and right around my wedding day weight!  You know all those clothes I have been able to recently fit in that have been hanging in my closet for a while now?  Well they are getting to big!  On top of being under 200 pounds....I won the highest percentage most this week again in the contest!  I am just so excited and keep having to pinch myself because I don't believe this is me doing this!  I am living this new awesome life style and couldn't be more excited!  Also,  I am excited to announce that I will once again be at home with my babies!  As much as I love my job in the NICU at Mercy, it is just way to much for my family and I, with me in full time school, all my clients, and trying to get my health on track, my husband and I thought this would be best!  I'm still going to school to become a nurse, I'm just taking it a little slower like we had originally planned!   Thank you all for all your support and kind words of encouragement!  Ya'll are awesome!

Amazing new life!
