Easter

So we just passed Easter. Let me tell you. I have been eating me some chocolate. Which is so weard. I have hated chocolate since I was a kid. Maybe a bite here or there but other than that, not a fan. But now, WOW!!! Anyways. Im having a BIG issue here, at Easter my husbands cousin says "wow you look like your a size 2 now, thats not fair" ....... ummm not fair??? I was serously taken aback. I just gapped like a fish at her. Jacobs aunt said no, it is because she eats only healthy food and is at the gym every day. I just, just, really??????? Sorry. That just really bugged me. Every bit of my weight loss was earned. I worked my ass off (literally) for this. Granted she is a kid, but really!!??!?!?! im done. sorry, just had to get that off my chest. Joshua saw a picture of me from July 2010. 5 months before my surgery, and asked who is that?? Really??Sara knew but he didnt. It is below.  Just kinda weard. He has known be big most of his life. oh well.

Redid my measurements and new low!!

So I realized the other day it has been since December since I did my measurements. Surprised how much has changed since the. Total I'm down 55.75 inches. That doesn't count the I'm guessing 6-7 inches from the beginning that I didn't measure. Also today I woke up to a 2.2 pound weight loss. Wow! I am now 2.2 pounds under goal weight. 172.2 pounds. 120 pounds down. Woza!! Below is my measurement chart.

2012 Goals. Where Im at.

So it has almost been 4 months since I made my 2012 goals. I am having my hip issues again. Did my first road run a week and a half ago. I did 1 mile in 13min 49 seconds. Fastest so far. But since then, I have been having extreme hip pain again. I am so tired of this. I ENJOY RUNNING Why cant I run??? SO, im still working on my running goals. here is my list http://egoebelsweightloss.blogspot.com/2011/12/2012-goals.html  I did meet #7 Meet goal weight!! YAY!! ok. for the pushup one, I figured Id try it now. I did 3 on my knees and it hurt my low back. FUN!! more bone issues hindering my progress. anyways, enough bitching. I hit a new low the other day. 173 WOW! wasnt even trying to lose. Im back up in the 175s. been staying there for the past few days. It is my goal so that is good for me. I need to do my measurements. I know they have changed and havent done it since december. I am also pretty confused. I have a few pair of 10 jeans. But I have a few pair of 16s that are tight or fit perfect. I bought some 15s that I need to return, that are falling off of me. I can also fit in small/medium shirts (depending on how they are made) WOW!!! If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to ask. Im an open book and willing to help anyone who wants it. Have a good day!!
