Check In

Hello Blog-osphere!

In an effort to not abandon my blog again, I am making an effort to at least check in. I am in another tricky spot- hovering around another 10lb marker. This seems to be a consistent problem with me. I've been doing great the last few weeks, down about 9lbs. Then for the last 2 weeks I have seemed to stall. I am hovering between 189 and 193 and I cant seem to push down into the 180's. 

I am trying not to get discouraged, but  I wonder if I have some sort of mental block that causes me to hesitate crossing that line. I had the same problem when I was bouncing between 199 and 202 for months. I am hoping that another week of focus and pushing hard will get me over this block.

I am really enjoying the new workout program we came up with. I started to do a bootcamp style class (we call it HELL CAMP) a few weeks ago and I think it has been great for me. It is a lot of cardio mixed with body weight exercises done in a pyramid style. It definitely KICKS MY BUTT. Maybe in my next post I will go into more detail describing what we do (for those of you who dare try it on your own!)

Running still sucks. I have been trying to stay consistent with the long runs, but with the humidity and a growing pile of school work, it is hard to find the motivation. 

Going shopping for new shorts tomorrow - none of the ones I bought last summer fit. I'm using safety pins to keep them up for now. But I figured 1 or 2 new pairs in a nice smaller size couldn't hurt.

Have a great weekend and thanks for reading!
