Ragnar, Weight loss, and FOOD....:)

So i know i have already blogged today, but as i sit here with Eric gone, and Aiden asleep I'm.bored.

WEIGHT LOSS

Can i just say, how frustrating it is to lose weight?! It is a constant struggle with me day to day. One week i do SO good, and then comes the weekend and i blow it. I still can't get the hang of it and i might never. It is the one thing that makes me sad, mad, happy, and annoyed all in one day. I have been exercising since January and i have done O.K.

Jan. 1st- 150 lbs.
May. 8th- 136 lbs.

I have lost a good amount of weight i guess considering i just had a baby and blah blah blah. BUT, i don't see it and that's what is frustrating.

GOAL weight- 120

So, i still have 16 pounds to run off and i WILL do it. END.OF.STORY


FOOD

I love food. Period. How can you not? It's what keeps us alive right? Well....in moderation lol

RAGNAR

So on my birthday (June 18th) i am running the Wasatch Back/Ragnar race with my dad, uncle and aunt, and 8 other runners. I am so excited i can't wait. I have never ran in a race before and this is one of the hardest ones, so you can understand my excitement. The race consists of 12 members and you start in Logan, UT and end in Heber, UT. Each person runs 3 legs. My legs consist of:

First leg- 3.2 miles
Second leg- 9.6 miles
Last leg- 3.5 miles uphill

I am trying to run 5 miles a day, but in order not to pass out on my second leg, and third, i need to get comfortable running 7 miles straight. Let's just say, i need to start training NOW. I have less that a month and a half.

Wish me luck, i might need it!! Any advice from all you runners all there would be nice!!
Thanks!
