Lose a Toddler or Die Trying

First off.. To date my official progress is 26lbs. I actually lost 33lbs but then back tracked because of vacation and reckless abandonment of my eating habits in exchange for fun. I'm pretty sure I'm down 2 dress sizes. I'm fitting pants that I wore during my second skinniest year in college when I gained 15lbs so my family wouldn't admit me for fear that I developed an addiction or habit. My side stomachs and back fat are noticably smaller and I got my two pack back!

I'm happy about the progress I've made...but I don't feel any closer to the initial weight that the doctor told me I should try for. and somehow, I convinced myself that I should at least try to lose 60 more pounds for my ideal size. My new goal is another toddler (30lbs) by July.

While I haven't figured out where I'm going to lose it from, I think I might lose my mind before then.

This is how it all started...
I decided I needed to lose weight, Janaan decided to be supportive so we started running, I quit running, Janaan got a new job and started working out different times and ways, I started running again,  I'm not almost to my goal weight but as we see here: http://findingjanaan.blogspot.com/ Janaan is and she looks great! She never looked bad to begin with and even after have two kids was still smaller than me but I still feel like I needed to step my game up since she stepped hers up for an upcoming vacay. 

I was just running - for two months she has been doing a two a day plan outlined by her hubby created. So in an act of humilty, I admitted to myself that my running plan just wasn't doing enough so I added her workout regimen to my running plan but....

IT HURTS.... in places that I didn't know it could hurt. I don't even know why a 10 minute workout would feel that way ever, under any circumstance. I am only on day 4...and I hurt more than when the running team ran my route and somehow tricked my mind into running a 10 minute mile with no prior training (I usually run a 13-15mile). The crazy part is right now, it's really just doing Zumba twice a day... and a little pilates to help with my core.

Now all I have to do is get my 2mile a day 5 days a week running min back into this routine - so far I've only managed to do 2 days...1 running and 1 on the bike.

I might need a new title: Lose a Toddler or Die Trying
