Finally....it moved!

For a week now I have been staring at the scale....hoping each time to see something different and yet....each time....nothing.  I was frustrated but I refused to let my PCOS weight-loss hurdles get me down.  I kept working out and I kept running because this is all about being healthy more than losing weight. Yet, today, it finally changed and I can't help but be super excited about it! I lost 2 pounds! That's a total of 16 pounds so far! Yay Me! Hehehe! =)

Lovely Sunday Afternoon!

We tried a new hobby this Sunday! Woodburning! We didn't too bad if I do say so myself.  Joe and I both colaberated on this project and it was lots of fun....kinda hard....but fun! =)



Also....I finished recovering one of the cushions! This will work until we can buy a new set of stools next year. =)

This is before......

 

.......and after! =)


I had a bit of trouble with the corners but....it still looks much better than it did before. 

We'll still be going for our Sunday run together too...we're just waiting for the sun to set and off we'll go! I love my Weekends! So much fun spending it with my Honey Butters! =)

Goodbye 14!

I've lost 14 pounds! It feels great. I've worked really hard to drop each and every one of them too!  Running, along with Clean Eating has really had a huge difference in this journey.  My PCOS is still fighting the loss of every pound but this running seems to be keeping me one step ahead of it's effects. No matter what....I've never felt better!

I ran today for the entire 10 minutes without having to walk! Whoop Whoop! I'm getting closer to that 5k every day! =)

Midnight Run!

Joe and I went for a Midnight run last night and it felt fantastic! Running is an amazingly tranquil workout and the fat cries and cries buckets full plus it's so good for my mentality too...it's wonderful therapy.  I can see the change happening in my body now and I'm losing weight.  There is a big difference in how much stronger I am throughout my mind and body now compared to just 3 weeks ago. Running is great!

Tuesday Run!

I think my problem on Sunday was the heat by the sun baking me like a french fry...plus....I didn't pace myself correctly so I burnt out too quick.  Today's run was much better and I was way more focused. It feels great to burn up these calories in a good run! =)

Fun On A Sunday Afternoon!

What a fun Sunday Afternoon! We went over to the High School and ran on their brand new track.


It was pretty hot today but it made the fat cry even harder! Oh Yeah!


He's so cute and supportive. That's my Honey Butters!


 He's coming around the bend! 


And he's got great form too! I finished before him but it's only because I didn't go as far.  Soon I'll be passing him up in no time. We both kicked bootie out there today!  =)


What a wonderful day and my calves are BURNING like crazy! WHOOP WHOOP! Feels AMAZING! =D

My First Ten!

I've lost my first 10 pounds! It's so exciting to know that it's a real 10 pounds that I've worked hard to get off but I know that my running is a big contributor to this first success over my PCOS hurdle! It's such a Wonderful Day! =)

Farther and Farther I go!

I ran 1.776 miles today! Whoop! It felt GREAT to just run everything off! I LOVE it! I put my MP3 on and I retreat into myself and away from the world with every beautiful step. It's my new, beautiful addiction! =)

Facebook!

I'm so tired of....well...everything about it.

UGH!

It's a friends and family only zone from now on!

There is a time limit on how long I will accept your bad friend behavior.

If you don't call me, email me or participate in my life in any way....then you are not my friend so I don't need to keep pretending you are.

Working it! =)

I ran 6 minutes today along with my regular 30 minute workout of weights and aerobics! That's a big improvement from Monday!  I made my fat cry buckets today! Whoop Whoop!! I'm building it up y'all and soon I'll be ready for my 5k next Spring! =)

Our First Camping Trip to Ohanapecosh!

We had such a great time camping! Here's our pic's!


 Leaving Graham, WA! I'm so blessed that I get to live here!


We made it! Time to set up camp and make lunch!


 It was 92 degree's when we arrived....it was a wee bit HOT and humid up there!


 These tree's were SO big and tall! So pretty!


Finally it was time to relax and have some lunch!


 The "Woodman" that drives around hadn't come yet to sell us some wood (You need to buy the wood locally to help keep non-local bugs from causing issues in Mt. Rainier National Forest) so I just cooked up some hotdogs for the rest of the day.


Caught him mid Hotdog munch!


 Sun is starting to set so...I pulled out my campfire stories and a few jokes to get give us a few laughs!


 The "Woodman" finally showed up and we got us some wonderful bundles of wood, so I made me the best campfire food ever! Marshmallows! See Joe's face....yeah....he's saying "I'm not eatin' that!" LOL! More for me!



 Sandi isn't having a very good time....I don't think she likes this camping stuff at all! LOL!


Next morning....it was time to go on a little adventure to see everything! Those are some big roots on that fallen tree...neat!


 We hiked down to the Ohanapecosh River! The water is snow melt directly off Mt Rainier...it was so blue and beautiful. So much Fun!







  Time to play some games and just enjoy the evening! We're loving it out here!

 


It was still a bit hot so I broke out the umbrella to give me and Sandi a little shade.


 Hotdog time again!


 Relaxation in overload! It felt amazing!


Last day...Joe is cooking us up a little breakfast to start the day.


The cool morning air felt so good so we kicked back and played a few more games. 



 Sandi is still NOT liking this camping thing! LOL!


But I have a sneaking suspicion Joe is defiantly liking it. =)


Some more Marshmallows!


Time to pack up and head home to our Air Conditioned home! LOL! =)


 We drove over Mt Rainer to go back home....it was an amazing drive.




 We had such a wonderful time and we can't wait to do it again. We sure did love our first "Tent" camping experience together but we still like our "Cabin" camping a bit more! I can see us doing both in the future! =)
