Weigh in Week 20: New Kicks and You're In My Dreams!!

Hey guys. It's monday morning-(BLEH!) but you know what?! I'm feeling good! I will tell you why....

I LOST THREE POUNDS THIS WEEK!

WOooOOOhOOO!

That definitely makes up for the bitty birthday splurge week where I maintained. I am really excited because it is also my 5 month anniversary on this health journey. I have learned SO much and it's becoming more and more of a way of life. I love it.

In case you are wondering, that is a total of 31.5lbs lost in 5 months. :0)

I also got my new running shoes in the mail on Friday:
So far they feel wonderful! I wore them on my hike on Saturday but have not gone running in them yet. It will probably be a little later this week when I finally get out and test them along with my Nike+.

So happy! It just goes to show you what real focus and buckling down can do. I really tried hard this week and was hoping for a great number on the scale.

Good luck to you all this week. You can do this!

random: I had a dream last night that I was a manager for plus sized models. In one of them there were a few bloggers I know that were doing a photoshoot! HA!

Love the new shoes!! How did you pick the ones you did? I've been thinking about getting new sneakers, but I'm not sure how to pick the best ones for me?

Love your shoes! You're looking super skinny in that side shot picture too....you are INSPIRING!! I am hoping for a 2.3lb loss this week (at least) which would put me over 30lbs. Wish me luck....probably should get OFF the computer and do something active! :)

Those are some nice kicks. And that is great losing 31 pounds in 5 months. I bet you feel just great about yourself!

I remember when I turned 25, I had a quarter life crisis too. Ha, Ha. It was so weird.

I may be trying out that oatmeal recipe tonight for tomorrow morning. Do you think I could substitute the soy milk for regular milk? I don't have soy.
