174.5

It's happening, slowly but surely. I just have to stay committed to going no matter what. Everyone seems to be very supportive of my success so far. At times Tristan makes me feel like he would prefer I weren't as committed. I think once he starts to see his old girlfriend come back he will think twice. I already see small changes in his behavior whether he chooses to believe it or not I have one month until Chloe's birthday. I would love to be 165 by then.

Tomorrow Tristan is off and I pray we don't get into a fight. My plan is to go to the gym and get the car serviced as well as get his car cleaned.

This week my treadmill run increases to 5.6 the incline remains at 1.5, days when I am not taking a class should be 30 to 45 minute run. As well 20 minutes on the stair climber level nine or level 13

Ok, so here's the deal.

I have been working out since Monroe turned 2 months.  I am still on this journey. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Although this isn't my first rodeo when it comes to this weight loss thing, I go through similar stages.

I want to call my starting weight an even 200.

Now if I recall the day I had the doctor appointment that determined I had to be on hospital bed rest I weighed myself and it was 168.

My MIL just mentioned to me the other day she is 162!! that is amazing for her. I would be lying if didn't say I felt nostalgic when I was closer to that number. at the same time its not jealousy I feel. I think that is true growth or maturity. since my many views of 'The Law of Attraction' I know that there is enough for everyone. because one person makes their goal or on their way to getting there doesn't mean I won't reach mine.

Today I weighed myself after my Body Pump/Body Step day and it say 186. I wanted to be 180 by today but its ok. I am not going to sweat a number. I believe I look smaller than I weigh. I have muscles.

Where I am in my fitness goals..

• can run up to 40 minutes, 1.5 incline, 5.1 mph
• early stages of burpees
• trying to bring out the jump rope on occasion
• GoodLife class 2-3 days a week

This month I would like to...

• eat less chocolate, chips, ice cream, candy
• continue to be consistent 5-6 days/wk gym attendance
• get to 175 by November 30
• drink more water
