Best Week Ever

I've had a great week! Hmmm where to begin...

Let's start with today's run. DEATH. Running uphill in humidity as thick as shaving gel is not my idea of a good time. But I have to admit I feel pretty kick ass for still finishing the first mile in under 13:26. Not a personal best, but it's right on target. Only 4 more runs left and I'm done with the Run5K program! Woo!

Ok now on to weight loss. I hit 191.6 today and being just 1.4lbs away from hitting my 30lb loss milestone AND the anticipation of dropping under 190 is a recipe for an excellent upcoming week! Definitely natural motivation.

A friend loaned me her copy of "Crazy, Sexy Diet" and even though I'm pretty familiar with the topics outlined in the first several chapters there's lots of good stuff in here. Like did you know that your gut has it's own nervous system?! Interesting right?! I'm kind of over the "yeah I'm so cool because I curse and I'm witty" tone of the book (very reminiscent of Skinny Bitch who actually wrote the forward in the book) but I won't let that get in the way of the info. I just might be considering the 21 day cleanse, but I'm not sure yet. We shall see!

And finally...I stumbled back into yoga. I LOVE yoga. I have stumbled in and out of it for 15 years and I've even found my teacher Ricky Tran (I just can't make it to any of his classes!). So this Friday I popped in my  Nicki Doane Primary Series and did a half hour of yoga. *BLISS* I have a feeling that yoga and meditation will play a pretty big role in my unfattening but I can't even begin to imagine what that role will be. All in all, I'm looking forward to rotating yoga into my workout routine and might even browse the yoga sutras for old times sake. Yay!
