Well hello there everyone! It has been way to long since I have posted anything...and it is definitely time to start back strong! I saw that my last post was may 20th, which was one day after my final weigh in with the biggest loser! Well I wanted to update everyone on how I was doing with my weight loss and my next goal! Well I stayed going strong after the biggest loser ended! I began Jamie Eason's Live fit trainer (which is amazing) and was going to the gym 5 days a week! I got through phase one great and then the first week of phase 2 for some reason my husband and I decided I should get a job(don't ask me why we think this is a good idea) Luckily I only got a temporary position until Aug. 3rd, bc I am of coarse going to continue being a stay at home mother again after that! Anyways it was super hard to fit in workouts...I had to wake up by 4:30 in order to go to the gym...which that happened I think twice! Needless to say I started to get off track! But I am back on track and in no way disappointed! I have gained about 6 pounds back, but no inches or sizes! I am so excited for what I have chosen as my next weight loss challenge to help me get closer to my goals! Another thing that got me off track was the fact that Jonathan and I have been trying to get pregnant again! I have been so caught up in that and the fact that I'm not pregnant yet that I feel like I put my weight loss to the side for some odd reason! Not anymore! I decided so that I wouldn't let it stress me out (not getting preg right away) I was going to choose something to train for...which will help me get closer to my goal, get my mind off of getting pregnant, and then if in the process we get pregnant...who hoo! I'm just not going to let it consume me as much as It was! The Lord has a plan for us...and when and if it is time...I will be pregnant again:) Anyways....at first i decided I was going to just train for another full marathon...the route 66 marathon in Tulsa on Nov. 18th, but instead I decided on 2 goals and the first one is on Sept. 22nd...it's the Redman triathlon! I will be training for the Olympic Triathlon which is 0.9 mile swim, 24.9 mile bike ride, and a 6.2 mile run! I know this is going to be super tough, but I see absolutely no reason I would not be able to achieve this goal (except for getting pregnant) As you all know...I train to finish and to compete against no one but myself, so the fact that it will probably take me 3 times as long as others means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to me! Now my next goal is a HUGE goal and if I don't begin my training today...there is NO WAY it will even be possible! It is the Half Iron man Triathlon, 1.2 mile swim, 55.9 mile bike ride, and 13 mile run! Now this one is 18 weeks away and it would be super tough, and honestly I think I would probably not finish in enough time to even have a time (I would be disqualified), but again to me....I don't care...as long as I finish! So anyways those are my goals for getting back on track with my weight loss and getting back on the work out train! I am so super pumped about all of this and am so excited! I truly believe anything is possible....you just have to work for it! Love you all so much and as always thank you so much for your help and encouragement with my weight loss!
