09/24 ~ 121.4 lbs

Hard to believe it's been two weeks since I last blogged...I haven't been weighing myself regularly so I was surprised to see the numbers this morning. My exercise routine is off because I can't seem to get up early enough in the morning! I haven't been doing too bad on my eating, but I really need to get back to running every day. I am missing it!

I won't blog what I am eating today...just thought I better check in! :)

Here is a photo of my new scale! It is really wide and doesn't turn on until you actually step on the scale. I am not too happy yet with the numbers that pop up on the screen, but I do know it is very accurate! It is an Eatsmart Precision Plus Digital Bathroom Scale.


I am pretty bummed about my weight going UP after not eating much yesterday AND running! Gesh...Plus I screwed up my ankle AND my knee yesterday while running outside on the pavement...I can't sit down without yelling out in pain from my left knee and I am limping when I walk on my right ankle! Wth?!?! I just shut off my early workout alarm and went back to sleep. My knee kept me up half the night - every time I turned over in bed, it shot pain up my leg!

What do you think of the new layout? Is it easy to read or are the colors/fonts too difficult? Let me know your opinion please! :) Julie - you know I am only writing this to you...no one else reads this blog!!! :)



I figured this week would be a good time to do the jumpstart. I am sick of my stomach hanging over and saw a picture Ally took of me last week and it was sticking way out over a pair of workout shorts (that have always been super loose). I need to get a grip on portion control!!! I love the fact I'm making a salad, but holding a pound of cheese!
