My disorganization strikes again...

So, there has been a huge gap between my postings - I swear I have an explanation! Even though I teach and have summer's "off" I went up to work last Tuesday for a meeting. When I got home I was using my computer to research some things we had talked about in our meeting. By the time I went to post on here, my computer died and I reached in my bag to pull out my charger and found I had left it at school! :(

I wasn't able to get into the building until today, so that is why there is a lack of posts! When I did get up to work on Tuesday, all of the school administrators who hadn't seen me since the beginning of June said they could tell that I was losing weight! I can barely tell on myself, but those people who don't see you every day are the ones who can tell the best anyway.

I'm getting closer to this...

I then went shopping at my favorite plus-size store, Torrid, and although I'm not quite ready to move out of the store, I was able to try stuff on and a size 2 looked great and fit comfortably! (I was BARELY a size 2 last time I was there-buying some clothes in a size 3). I also bought some clearance pants from Old Navy and went down a size! I also went down from an XXL to an XL in their dresses and shirts. Needless to say, I'm pretty happy with results thus far! I think joining a challenge with some friends from a Facebook community to track every day for the month of July really helped. I'm making better choices when I go out to eat and don't feel as hungry throughout the day like I used to.

I haven't run as much as I'd like this past week, but I did try to do something every day. I did MANY, MANY squats this week through training on the Nike+ Training Club app and always feel so satisfied when I do those!

I think the lack of structure in the summer without working as much, has really thrown my training for a loop. I'm hoping that when I go back to work next week (as I cringe), I'm able to put more structure into my running.

Hope everyone has a great week!
