Kathy Vanish's Journal, 11 January 2014

I am doing pretty good so far this week. I weighed myself this morning and I was up 2 pounds. I was feeling down, so I decided to measure myself before the end of the month. Since January 1st, I am already down 1/2" around my waist, 1/2" around my arms, and 1" on both thighs. So, I must be doing something right exercise wise anyway.

Today, I bought my running shoes and a good running bra. I am determined that this is the year I start to run. It will be a great way to get the new puppy exercise and keep him in shape as he ages and it will give me a little time to myself.

I discovered over the holiday that 1 hour with no daughter to look after and time to do something for me makes me a better mother with a lot more tolerance.

Last year I dieted and lost a large amount of weight. I remember being discouraged at one point and found that I was actually thinner, it was just that I was toned more. Muscle weighs more and you look better. Don't go totally by "weight" numbers--inches are a factor, too! I don't do that and I need to, but I'm way too lazy. I go purely by weight, looks, size of clothes.

Jillzee00 - only you can fix lazy. However, you sound as if you are doing great, so keep it up.

Yesssss! This is what is happening to me Kathy! my weight keeps going slightly up or not moving but oh i am loving my tape measure! I am hoping that when i post my next stats i am closer to my ideal measurements. I can definitely see the numbers going down on the tape measure. Great about your running shoes and running bra...start building up your gear from the good basics. I can see you so being a runner! you have the determination!

Good job Kathy! I am never good at measuring myself either. But people swear by it and you are proof it is true!
