Friday weigh in - 11 month update!
Happy New Year! And what a year it's been! At least once a day there's a moment where I can't believe I've come so far in 11 months.
So far, maintenance has not been easy but I wasn't expecting it to be. As you'll see by the weigh in, I overdid it a little (okay a lot) over the holidays and I'm posting my first gain in 11 months. I had too many cookies, a lot of alcohol and cheese and crackers were made a meal on more than one occasion. My maintenance plan is to give myself a 5lb margin within my 125 so I don't obsess about it but keep it in check. There's no way I'm going back but I can see how it can happen and it's really scary.
This is the first New Year that I can ever remember where losing weight wasn't on the resolution list. I always put them in writing so here's the list for 2014
Okay time for the weigh in. I've put it off long enough!
Not too much difference in the progress pics from last month to this month but I continue to gain muscle and it's definitely showing. I officially feel tiny now when I put on an xs shirt or my size 4 lululemons.
Hope the new year is off to a great start for everyone. As stated in the resolutions, I plan on being around here a bit more. I'm at the end of season 3....

This is the first New Year that I can ever remember where losing weight wasn't on the resolution list. I always put them in writing so here's the list for 2014
- Run all 12 track club races. (There used to be a prize for this but of course now that I'm doing it there's not but I'm doing it for me!)
- Read and write more (I want to stop watching Breaking Bad so I can blog more and read more blogs...and books)
- 4 minute plank (3 minutes is the most I've ever done)
- Practice yoga both on and off the mat. (i.e. be less judge-y with myself and others)
Okay time for the weigh in. I've put it off long enough!

| New years eve dinner. I learned early on in running that 10k's and hangovers don't mix! |
 |
| Starting the new year off with my running heroes! |
 |
| I love a finish line! |
 |
| huzzah! |
 |
| I NEVER thought I would see 9's in front of my miles. That is so amazingly fast for my little legs - so fast I almost threw up but whatever ;) |
Hope the new year is off to a great start for everyone. As stated in the resolutions, I plan on being around here a bit more. I'm at the end of season 3....
