I did it!
Well folks! I Did it. I registered to run in a obstacle filled
5k run. The "Beach Dash" in October.
I'm VERY Excited about it.
I found this link that has a first hand look of what the run is like. Click here if you want to check it out.
I restarted the Couch 2 5k program. I was attempting to do it after work but I have so much stuff going on right now, I'm going to have to suck it up and do it in the morning. I'm a morning person, but lately I've been going to sleep so late that its hard to open my eyes at 6! But no time for excuses!
I'm a coach for a drama at my church. Sunday we were recording the drama I was filling in for one on the girls. When we played it back, I was looking at myself. Now, I'm not the one that HATES to be in pictures and videos. I will admit. I am 100% a ham! (No pun intended) when it comes to cameras.
Within the last year however I would start noticing how big I really am when I saw full body shots of me. I didn't like it but I didn't complain. Any who. As we played back the recording on Sunday, I noticed a BIG difference. I have a waist and i shows! My hubby was telling me the other day that that's were he is noticing it the most. My waist. Woot Woot!! It's working.
On a side note, I went to an 80's party. Check it out. Pretty Rad huh? Oh sorry. Back to me getting skinny.
Lately, when I feel a craving or discouraged, I've been looking on pintrest under the "fitness" section. Very inspirational . Look for yourself! http://pinterest.com/all/?category=fitness
All in all, progress is slow but I feel my INSIDE changing fast.
Talk to you soon!

I ran what?!
You'll never believe what I did yesterday. Wait... I can't even believe what I did yesterday.
Tuesday nights I have 2 friends come over and we do Zumba for the Wii. It's a good work out. We'll there we were shaking our tail feathers when one of the girls Wii Mote died. I had no extra batteries. We were kind of bummed. So me and my friend start hinting saying "Well.. maybe we can go to the gym" So what happened? We ended up at the gym. So two of us are on the treadmill and the other on the bike. The one in the bike decided it was getting late so she headed home. So my friend and I stayed on the treadmills. She 's doing a 5k this weekend and is training. I am not. lol but I ran a little with her. Before I knew it, I was almost at a mile! My friend finished and came over a rooted me on. I RAN A MILE IN 19 MINUTES! To a fit skinny girl that's horrible. But for a horizontally gifted girl like me! I was pretty proud of myself! So we went back to my apartment. We're sitting there talking and it got quiet. I pipped up and said "..I kinda want to go run some more" and she said "ME TOO!!!!" So we went. BACK to the gym. Who am I?! We ran another mile and I did it in 16 minutes!! That does look dramatic enough let me try that again..

SIXTEEN MINUTES!!!!
I'm so proud of myself!
Okay... so there is a "Beach Dash" in October. It's a 5k (3.1 miles) run with obstacles. I have always wanted to run through an obstacle course. I haven't officially said that I'm going to do it. (my mind wont allow me) I'm scared that I wont be able to do it. But I'm going to run more and see if I can do 3 miles total. We'll see.
But I know one thing for sure.. I'm sooo ready for my skinny "AFTER" picture.

No cake?!
Just a Quickie today.
Today is my boss's birthday. She's an amazing person so I couldn't just get her a regular cake. I got her favorite cake ever! A 3 layered coconut creme cake. I ordered it, picked it up, and served it. It smelled AMAZING! And everyone is standing around eating the cake, describing how good it is, telling me about the texture. (glad they liked it) lol. They were even trying to get me to cave. But cave I did NOT! See picture below.
I'm proud. Honestly. It's getting really really easy to say no to sugar.
Yay!

Its the small things in life..
Lost another pound! I'm at 271 now. Woo hoo!
So today is Sunday, and the Pastor at my church named it "Celebration Sunday" meaning if you did give something up for 40 days, you can have it today only. Don't go crazy , and only if you feel like you can go back to giving it up on Monday. So I thought a lot about it and I decided to get a small sundae from sonic. It was just ice cream, hot fudge and nuts but I tell you what. When I put that first spoonful in my mouth, after no sugar for 13 days, I felt like I was eating the richest most delicious dessert in all the land! Best $2 spent!
I also made my self little goals. Like if workout everyday, I get something at the end of the week. Nothing big but, things I want. Like a trip to the beach, or going to pick strawberries. This week I was successful and got my reward today. A brand new cup!! I drink water allll the time. I love it! And I just got a new nice purse so I don't want any chance of leakage or spills in it. So my hubby bought me a "camelback cup" it's has a double wall so no condensation problems and you have to bite it a little to get the water to come out so no chance of spills. I know I'm a bit weird to be so excited about a cup but I'm usually so cheap so for me to own a nice $20 cup is a big deal. Here is a picture :)
K back to no sugar tomorrow.
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! Back to work tomorrow.

Short but VERY Sweet
Okay. So I'm still going strong 10 days no Bad sugars. But I've been wanting SOMETHING sweet. So I went to Jamba Juice. I looked at their menu and I just wasn't feeling like Orange or the regular smoothies. And then there is was.. on the right side of the menu. It said. "Chunky Strawberry Topper"
It has Strawberries, Bananas, Nonfat Plain Yogurt (Contains Milk), Soymilk (Contains Soy), Fresh Bananas, Organic Pumpkin Flax Seed Granola (Contains Soy & Wheat), Peanut Butter (Contains Peanuts)
It was amazing!!! I think if that is in my life, I could live without Ice cream. Now, I did have to sacrifice some calories. 520 to be exact. But I think I might make this an every Friday treat. Who knows.
For dinner I had the spirit of Martha Stewart come over me and I made a Braided Spaghetti stuffed bread. From scratch..ish. But it turned out good. Hubby loved it!
I hope you all out there have a great weekend!!
Debbie OUT!
