WL UPDATE.
Well this morning I measured and it has been a week and a couple days since I measured. Great news bust is down two inches and around the belly button is down 2 inches. My arms and legs were down too but I am hesitent to count those because I wasn't sure I was measuring in the same spot so I am going to get better with those. But I was sure about the bust and belly. I know some people don't want to lose in the bust but that is so ok with me.
Yesterday was the first day of my 4th week of c25k. It kicked my butt. BUT I FINISHED IT!!! I always tell myself if I make it through just once I can do it again and again no matter what. So things are going well.
I was very glad about the measurements because I am starting week 4 and have not seen crazy high weight loss numbers 7 lbs since june 5th so I am glad I am making progress with measurements.

Progress and a new goal
On Friday June 5th I wieghed way waaayyy too much. A total of 236lbs. I started the Couch to 5 K that evening. I am proud to say I have stuck with it. It is now June 29th and Tomorrow I start my 4th week. I weighed 229 this am. I have lost 7 lbs in about 3 wks.
That amount would have been 2 lbs more but I seem to have an issue with weekends. When I am at work and my food is limited I do well but at home I seem to feel the need to "splurge".
I am however feeling great. I am walking/ jogging = wogging lol about 2 miles per session. Saturday was the last day of my 3rd week and I did all of the jogging circuits at 5 miles per hour and I felt great. I am nervous about this week because I go from two sets of (jog 90 sec walk 90 sec jog 3 min walk 3 mins) to 2 sets of ( jog 3 min walk 90 sec jog 5 min walk 2.5 min). It seems like a big leap to me. But so did week 2 to week 3. I feel like if I can just make it through once it is all down hill from there because the rest of the circuits and days I just keep telling myself
"YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS ONCE! THERE IS NO DOUBT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO IT! SO JUST GO! DO IT ALREADY! AND REMEMBER HOW GREAT YOU FELT WHEN YOU WERE DONE!!!!"
That is the best part is that I feel so awesome after my work out.
SO...my pop is engaged!!! He finally met someone. I hope to meet her in mid August. (yeah it is crazy I have not met her but we live 5 hrs apart and there has been alot going on for them and us) but this brings me to my new goal.
I want to at least weigh 180 by November 21st. Why November 21st? That is their wedding date and I am so tired of being the pudge in all of the photos till I could scream. I will look alright at 180 I think and that is 50 lbs in 5 months so hopefully that is doable if I really work at it. That is not my ending goal but that is a good date and a good challenge.
So there it is. 180 by Nov 21st.

An update
So I know it has been far too long but life took over as it does sometimes and there was no time to blog.
So here goes...
We made it through another tax season. This was our first with Emma. It went fairly smooth. I was exhausted alot but Emma's smile renewed me every night when I got home.
My Papaw passed away after 46 days in the hospital. He went in for a heart bypass surgery and the took on alot of fluid and things went down from there. It was crazy because he had not had a heart attack. YET. He was going in for the surgery because his heart dr. monitored him and said he needed it. Then about 10 days before he passed my Mamaw got pneumonia and was put in the same ICU as him only two rooms apart. He passed while she was still in ICU. This was one of the worst things I have ever been through. NOW, my mamaw is doing ok. She had a lot of rehab to do after being on the vent for so long. She is getting stronger everyday. And my Papaw's hunting dog is now a house dog and is with her every step.
Emma is doing great. Just yesterday she took her first, second, third and fourth steps. Then she went on strike. LOL. It wont be long I know and we will be chasing her. Her first word was "hey/ hi" she says it when ever she sees someone. At first we thought it was not "on purpose" but it is. We are still working on momma and mommy. Her favorite thing to do is take stuff out of any container. She loves to empty her toy box, char's purse, my breifcase, any thing.
Last week we had to put down one of our dogs. I never thought it would come to that but we had had issues with the dog since we got her and it peaked with her trying to bite Emma because she was crawling in her general direction but Emma was still 3 or 4 feet from her. She has had issues with children and visitors in the past so we knew it was a possibility but we thought she would come to love and protect her like she does us. Then while waiting in the vets office a child and his mother came in the door and she growled at him from all the way across the room. I was very upset about it but I believe we did what was the best for our family and our dog. We gave her a great life and we all had great times with her and she with us which is more than she was set up to have when we adopted the malnourished, mangy, 3 legged dog from the pound 5 yrs ago. She came to be a beautiful loving loyal dog that just had issues. Who wouldn't with only 3 legs. I am at peace with it now.
Well I know this is getting long so I will go now. But I hope to do better with this blog now.

5 month report
Emma turned 5 months old yesterday. To celebrate we gave her baby food for the first time. It was homemade with lots of love from her mommy. It was yellow squash and she liked it very much. I think she liked it even more than the cereal we have been feeding her. I can see why though because you know I had to taste it and it tasted like cardboard.
She has started to love playing with the rolly thing on her exersaucer. She has figured out how to promptly roll to her back when we put her down for tummy time. She isn't very fond of tummy time.
She reached out for someone for the first time on new years eve. It was ME!! I was so excited.
She has started reaching for things on the table so we are having to really watch her when we hold her while we eat our food. We try not to do this much anyway so there have been no major mishaps yet.
My boss took us all out for lunch and drinks yesterday and she tricked him into giving her some chocolate cake. He couldn't resist her smiles and sweet noises she is making now. We both kept our mouths shut about the cake. We decided long ago that we didn't want our child to have any "refined" sugar until 1 year old. I know we are crunchy. We also decided we would not be so anal about it that we yelled at someone if they didn't know. And Emma christined him later on in the meal with a pee pee leak through her diaper. LOL
