Week 20 Results

We have entered an extremely crazy "season". Last week we had Courtney's bridal shower with her family and friends (there was the most amazing Buffalo Chicken dip ever involved) and we had her bridal shower at work (Cheerwine floats, special cupcakes, and meatballs). Not to mention the pizza party last week, going to the fair (yes... philly cheesesteak, loaded fries, and funnel cake), Courtney's BIRTHDAY yesterday (kettle corn, candy apples, cotton candy, and COOKOUT), and the Chili Cook-Off tomorrow.

Even reading through that paragraph, you may catch some clogged arteries. That's not all though. We will be celebrating with Courtney this weekend for her bachelorette party (all weekend). So to sum everything up... our eating hasn't been it's best. But we're still not gaining! (Thanks to following a "heavy" day with a "salad" day) Here are the numbers...



This week:

• Trying not to go completely crazy for the bachelorette weekend
• Getting 3 running days in
• Meeting with Jeannie when we return from the bachelorette weekend (yikes!)

Week 19 Results

Oops... we missed last week's post of our results. Here is the most up-to-date account of our weight loss.

We are still running like crazy and shedding inches like a long-haired cat getting groomed for the first time. (Sorry, I had to put a corny joke in) Courtney got a high-five from Jeannie for doing well just watching what she eats and exercising regularly. I, on the other hand, was given a special assignment (smack on the hand) to continue tracking my food intake with Weight Watchers. Maybe it's my short term memory loss allowing me to forget how much I've actually consumed. Either way, we're both still on track and moving forward. Running clinic is almost over and Race Day is right around the corner. Get ready for some FABULOUS pictures to come of our race day attire!

The Week Ahead:

• BodyPump (we've been busy and haven't been able to make it)
• Runs atleast 3 times a week
• Cross-training on our days we don't run
• New Weight Watchers at Work session starts up on Wednesday (sign-up and join us if you haven't already)

Women's Only Running Clinic

Hello everyone! We are now halfway through the Women's Running Clinic with the Greensboro Running Club. I can't believe I have actually made it this far! I guess it goes to show that I am determined to take on a new activity which so far I have really enjoyed! Planning the wedding, which is 44 days away (who is really counting? LOL), has been extremely stressful. Running 3 days a week (sometimes 4) has been a HUGE stress reliver. Some of my friends who are avid runners have always told me it was the biggest way to relieve any stress, but I always thought they were crazy. Playing sports, we'd have run poles or run laps when we didn't do something correctly, so I always thought of it as punishment. It's funny because our high school track team had a t-shirt that said: "Our sport is your sport's punishment." That always stuck with me... until the past few months.

The clinic hasn't been easy for me, but now that I am 6 weeks in I can see the difference in what I was a week 1 or 2. I couldn't run 1 minute straight for anything in this world when I started this, now I'm up to running 5 minutes and walking 3 minutes and never really hurting until about the 4:30 mark. Last week, I was running an 8 minute pace for about 4 minutes and I was thrilled. I've kept that in my mind the past week... that I can do it, because I WAS doing it (even though it didn't last the entire training session).
