April Freaking Fools! Somehow I managed to convince myself that I was losing weight, when the truth is I am actually up about five pounds since Christmastime. How dare I pass myself off as a successful Weight Watcher!
So with the goal of wearing the pair of kick-ass white hiphugger jeans I got last year (size 12, a size I've NEVER been - I went straight from girls' 14 to ladies' 14) to celebrate Mother's Day this year (Oh yes, I've got BIG plans to stain them with barbeque sauce and red wine), today I begin a month-long diet and fitness boot camp.
Here are my stats today:- Chest: 40"
- Waist 36.5
- Hips 45.5
- Thigh (left) 25
- Weight 177
I'll post my progress each week and talk about the things I've been doing (or not doing). On the 22nd of this month is the TC 10k, which I've walked the last two years. This year I plan to run at least part of it, a minute at a time, and finish in 1:40, so I'll need to do quite a bit more walk-running over the next few weeks. 10k is actually a bit of a distance and, even though I've done it twice with little or no training, I really took it at a leisurely pace, finishing in 2:13 my first time and 1:57 last year. This year will be different - I'll be doing more than just challenging myself to get across the finish line, and getting ready for that should be good for a pound or an inch (or two)!
