Day #13: February 4th, Tuesday

Today I weighed 205.5 but given how my weekend went I should be happy that I'm only at 205.5. I felt awesome today! One of the best days I've felt since I've started the challenge. I put on a shirt for school today that I've been too self conscience to wear but today I put it on and it felt great. I then got home from school and put on some clothes to workout in and my face looked skinnier today too. It was awesome and I've loved being healthy. I even turned down chocolate cake haha. Today Megan and I ran from my parents house to the gym which is exactly 4.1 miles It was the hardest run and I wanted to quit so bad because it was snowing so hard and you could barely see since the snow kept getting in my eyes. The ground was slippery too so we had to be extra careful. Needless to say, I will be running inside tomorrow.

Day #12: February 3rd, Monday

Well surprisingly when I weighed myself today, I weighed 205.7. I couldn't believe it because of all the junk I ate yesterday. I ate A LOT OF JUNK!! I knew it would be a bad day so I kinda gave myself a freebee on that one. Today I ran 4 miles in 35:47. I have to give my body a break since I've been pushing so hard. I'm going to go easier, then on Friday I'm going to go for another PR. That would be awesome if I could break 33 minutes. Today was a good day because I was able to shrink down a belt loop. By the end of the day it felt pretty tight but I didn't care because it felt so good to actually see the physical results. All I need to lose is another 10 pounds and I will actually be the weight that I was at when I was 19 years old. Not bad at all. If I lose 20 (Which would be incredible) I would be at the weight I was at my senior year of high school. My goal for this week is to get to 203 pounds.

Day #11: February 1st, Saturday

Today I wasn't able to weigh myself but I bet it wasn't too good because of last night. My goal today is to eat perfect since we are having the superbowl party tomorrow and I know that my mom will have a bunch of unhealthy food there. Today I didn't feel like going to the gym mainly because I thought that I would push myself too hard so that I could get another PR. My body is tired and needs rest from the treadmill, so instead Megan and I went to the Bonneville Shorline Trail and ran that. It was so cool to see how much I've improved in these last two weeks. I've never run that trail so fast. It was so awesome to see the city when it was snowing. We even took a picture at the top of hells tower. My family is starting to really notice my weight loss and it's fun to hear them congratulate me. Most importantly is that I feel good about myself once again.

Day #10: January 31st, Friday

Today I got a personal record of 33:35 on 4 miles, it felt so good! The coolest part was that I felt like I could have gone another mile and it wouldn't have been that much tougher. I felt so good getting a 33:35 PR. But a part of me wonders how I did 28 minutes when I was 21. I bet I can get down to that again but I know its going to be a while before I get there again. I'm so glad that I worked out because tonight we are going to be hanging out with Jon and Kim and I know we are going to have some crappy food. So my workout will hopefully be able to cancel that out.

Day #9: January 30th, Thursday

Today was a pretty good day. I can still see the difference in my body as I did yesterday. It's not a huge difference but it's enough to put a smile on my face. I weighed 206 today so I'm feeling good. I was hoping I'd be around 205 but I'm already ahead of my goal weight for this week so I shouldn't complain. Today was a good learning experience for me. I was in a bad mood all day and was really grumpy. I did not want to go to the gym at ALL! At about the time I was supposed to go my stomach started hurting and immediately I got happy and thought that this would be the perfect excuse not to go to the gym. But I kept thinking about the 100 day challenge and how I can't give up. Next thing I knew I was headed out the door and on the way to the gym. It was such a cool feeling to have. I had a pretty good excuse where I wouldn't even feel bad about. But rather than succumb to temptation like I usually would, I went out and worked out. It was such a good day today!

Day #8 January 29th, Wednesday

Today I woke up and I felt light so I looked in the mirror and it's probably the first day where I looked and saw a difference in my body. I then weighed myself and I was 206.. I couldn't believe it and I was so happy. The 100 day challenge is working!! I've lost 6 pounds and today is only day #8 in the challenge. By the end of the 100 days I want to be at 185 pounds. That would feel so amazing. That would be 27 pounds in 100 days. I think I can do it, but once I plateau I will at least be in the shaper where I can do something more. I realized today that it has been a year and a half since I've been at that weight. 25 years old is still young, just because I'm married and not in high school anymore, doesn't mean I have to feel like crap about myself.

Day #7: January 28th, Tuesday

Today I woke up and the first thing I noticed is that I felt better than usual. The weekend was horrible but I felt good about myself again. First thing I did was check the mirror and it looked a little better but I couldn't really tell. Then when I weighed myself, I was at 207.8! That's the lowest I've been since I won the weight competition between my family a few months ago. It feels good to know that I'm not just motivated by money to lose weight like I was before. I ate really good today and I know its because I'm exercising. I don't want to waste my exercise on food. I looked back at Day #1 and even though I'm at day #7 I seriously feel like a brand new person. If you feel like crap about yourself the answer really is to go to the gym and be dedicated and even just after a week you will feel the difference. I don't know if the 100 day challenge will work for everyone but it is working so well for me. I mean, I know that it would work for everyone I just don't know if it would get everyone as motivated as me. but I really am loving the way I feel about myself. And today I ran 4 miles in 34:15! Woohoo
