OOPS!

Crap it has been too long since I updated! And I just realized I didn't even post my 3 month progress!! :( Which is crazy cuz it was the best pics yet!! So first at 3 months:

Weight: 231
Neck: 15.5
Waist: 45
Hips: 53

And check out THIS rockin photo!!

The top is from 3/7 (a day early becuase of Easter)

Bottom is from 1/8 when I started

Crazy how different I look from 3 months ago!! So exciting!!

Well, now it is a few weeks later and I am happy to report I am down to 225. :) I plateaud for a bit but then went on vacation. While I did try to stick with eating within my calories I did allow myself more splurges than I do at home. Also, one day I had a "indulgence" day and went to a buffet breakfast. My breakfast was 2200 calories! EEK!!! But I think it really helped jump start my matabolism. Also, I was doing some crazy walking around DC and just 1 day of walking (4 hours) burned 2600 calories. :) (Did I mention I got a Heart Rate Monitor = HRM?? SOOO Awesome!!)

I am back home now and back to eating more carefully. One thing I don't understand was I had MFP recalculate my calories and they dropped to 1200. That is the lowest you can go. How can that be right?? I know I am only 5'1" and lead a sedentary life but if NOW is 1200 how will I lose when I get to 175 or 150??? I can't drop my calories lower. Just confusing. I will have to check into that.

One last thing: I am signing up for my first 5K!! I don't think I am really ready for a run but it is a fun one and I am teaming up with my family. We don't care about our time, we are just doing it for the fun of it. It is a 5K Foam run. http://www.5kfoamfest.com/location-phoenix.php I am scared and excited all at the same time!! Go ME!!

PS I've been watching too much Biggest Loser. ;) I created a motto:
