So lots to update you on...First of all, my 10k is done. Not only done, I think I kicked its a**. I did my first ever 6.2 mile run in 55 minutes 24 seconds! It was really great. It was a beautiful trail through Paynes Prairie, great weather and my wonderful husband even ran it with me... six minutes slower but still with me! ( I mention this now because I am sure I will never be able to beat him again!) He even wants to know when the next race is.
Now the hard part, I am starting to plateau and I have three weeks left. Time to finish strong and with no excuses. I am close too. We just did our physiographs and I am down 10.76% body fat in 12 weeks (that comes out to 18.4 lbs of fat). The two leaders have lost 12.1 % and 12.11% of body fat respectively. I have to push hard to get there but here is to the last three weeks! Danielle and April be warned...I am coming for you both!

8 is great!
I feel like I have been Debbie Downer every time I write so here goes a little more upbeat post...
Wow. I am grateful for this opportunity. I don't even really know where to start except to tell you that this is amazing. I am eight weeks down and about six weeks to go and I am really happy with the progress. I don't know exactly where I thought I would be but I can tell you I certainly wouldn't have gotten here without SweatLife or Giggle creating and picking me for this competition.
So the stats for 8 weeks...I have lost 17lbs of body fat, 3 inches off my abdomen, and 3 inches off my hips. I am not sure how it got that bad but I really needed a good kick in the *ss to get it off. The best part is I feel great! I am really into running right now and Dan (our awesome trainer at SweatLife) certainly keeps things interesting the 3 days we spend with him per week. Also, I am loving these awesome women I get the honor of working out with 3 plus times a week. They are hysterical, sassy, hardworking, encouraging, kick*ss ladies. Not to mention tough competition!
So now time to keep my head down and continue to work hard because I am loving the results. I would really love to win but in all honesty (and yes I know this sounds cheesy), I have really already won just by getting to participate. So thank you again to Giggle Magazine, Sweat Life Fitness and my fellow BWLC girls! Let's see how much more we can loose!
