My wieght loss has slowed down significantly in the past few months, but I do think it is realistic to lose 5lbs per month for a total of 25lbs lost between now and September. If I meet that goal I'll be somewhere around 175. So doable! I looked at tickets last night, it is only about $300 for a round trip ticket. I'm going to take that Friday off work so I can leave early on Friday and try to get a later flight back on Sunday. I sent a message to Alexis who is a band sister close by to see what her plan is before I get my ticket. I'm so excited (and nervous about meeting everyone in person) about this trip! I really can't wait for a Florida trip- I hope we get a big beach house right on the sandy beach and just share the cost. Staying in a house is so fun with a big group. I also can't wait to order a BOOB t-shirt. Oh, and a 5k in Chicago! wooo hooo I don't know if I can wait 5 months for all of the fun... it might just kill me!
In the mean time, I hope I can find out what is going on in my stomach (still having some pain, but not as bad as the initial pain) and keep my exercise routine up. I am going to do a 45 minute run today and a longer run tomorrow, probably 5 miles and then do a 7 mile long run next Sunday. I have to get more miles in during the week though. I think it will be easier to get them in next week though because I will be back to my reugular routine with work and everything else. Last week was spring break and this week was a little screwy because I was in pain on Monday and Tuesday and not feeling too motivated. I have a 5k next Sunday, so maybe I'll have to hold my long run off for Tuesday or something. hummm just realized I hadn't factored in my 5k and my long run plan. Oh well I'll figure it out. I could do a long run earlier in the week too. I also just figured out how to blog from my phone, so maybe while I am out and about today I'll post something fun. Hope you are all having a fun weekend!
Jen Loves ya!

YIPPEE YIPPEEE! Can't wait to meet you!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Chicago too! I was just looking at Drazil's list and saw that you are a Washington person too. I live on Whidbey Island. Think we could plan to travel together? :-)
ReplyDeleteSOO glad you can come! I didn't notice before that you are from WA. I'm from there too. I graduated from Western (that's near Marysville, right?)
ReplyDeleteI am actually FROM Oregon, I have lived in Washington for about 11 years now. Are you still in Washington? Western Washington University in Bellingham is about 45 minutes north of me. So, yeah pretty close actually. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jen! I just found your blog and will be going to Chicago also! Look forward to following you and meeting ya in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteI will see YOU in Chicago! I can't wait to meet you in person, Jen. Oh, and I'm excited for a Florida trip, too.
ReplyDeleteWow-- you're doing alot of running! I'm thinking about chicago, lots of little logistics to plan if I wanted to go.
ReplyDeleteCheers !
Please fill me in on the Chicago trip? From what I have gathered it is somthing to do with the Band of Outrageous Babes but when I clicked on the logo you have to the right it just gave me some bs about technical difficulties with blogger. Anyway, I would love to hear the details and can't wait to live vicariously through you! Any chance you will go see Oprah? Isn't she in Chicago?
ReplyDeleteSorry I wasn't very talkative yesterday, as you could tell I was distracted. Not sure by what other than the long list of chores. I feel like and ass that I didn't talk with you more. We need to schedule to meet up more often away from the farm! Like on the Centennial trail, I can't run though so I could ride my bike while you ran if you would like or you would have to walk with me! Love you!
JEN! Sorry I haven't replied back to your email yet (I was on vacation for the last 4 days and didn't have email access)! I'm going to email from work in just a minute, but wanted to let you know that I AM GOING TO CHICAGO!!!! Confirmed with hubby last night at approximately 12:36 a.m. :)
ReplyDeleteHey you- awesome on the running! (Am just about to head out for a 10 k myself). Do you find when your mileage starts getting up there you're hungrier? I do...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to meet you in person, am hoping to go to Chicago, too.
Brooke- I definitely get hungrier as I up the miles. I haven't quite figured out how to manage it yet. I usually justify the extra food with "...it's ok, I just ran xx miles..." Gonna work on that though. :)
ReplyDeleteShana- I will fill you in on BOOBS ASAP. Gonna get to bed tonight, so I'll try to call you tomorrow...
