Halfway There!

I made it to the halfway point. 37.5 is halfway towards my weight loss goal (for now) and this morning I reached 37.8lbs down. I'm super excited. I was feeling like I hit a bit of a plateau and I worked my a$$ off this week and got it done!

Let me apologize for the lack of blog posts the last few weeks. I have been crazy stupid busy with internship and school and work and papers and midterms and exercising. My internship has a position they want to hire me for, but I can't, in good conscience, start working it until I honestly complete all of my 300 internship hours. The issue is that the need this position filled yesterday, so I've bumped up my hours from 17/week to 40+/week. And this week is doubly hard with my Nonprofit Governance mid-term this past Tuesday, and my 40 page internship paper is due on Monday and I only have about 22 pages complete - EEEEEEK.

I've bumped up my exercise each morning at bootcamp. I can no longer use the "I'm out of shape, etc." excuse and I'm pushing myself to be one of the first in our line while running so that I can't drop off too far. Although, when someone who is faster than me is behind, I can feel them breathing on my back and eventually I have to step to the side to let them pass. It's getting harder and harder to burn calories in the morning and I figure that the only way to adjust that is to push myself harder and harder each day.

Once again, I have to go "out of town" for a couple of days for my internship. I haven't seen the menu of food offerings but I heard that it's really really amazing. I keep telling myself that I will go for the healthier options and I'm bringing my shoes to, at the very least, go walking after dinner Sunday night. I'm hoping Debbie will join me. She wants me to get there early on Sunday to go horseback riding, and I'd like to, but I fear that I won't have my paper done and will need the extra couple of hours to get it done.

I'll play it by ear.

KUDOS to me for hitting the half way point!!! Target weight loss goal is 75lbs but that's also my initial target weight loss goal, I've said to myself that I'll re-assess at that point and see if it's possible to drop a few more LBs cause even with 75lbs I'm not within my suggested weight. - CRAZY!

Have a great week all!
