.shedding the lbs.

this year i came to gribs with the fact i have a choice of two things...buy larger clothing or finally shed the baby weight. so i decided to loose it. and here's how it's happening...moving more and eating less...
- along with a group of our friends we signed up for Portland Shamrock Run March 14th. i'm working towards running a 5k ... others are going for the 8k or even the 15k! whew! my brother is our "trainer" and i am acutally enjoying running..I KNOW..crazy huh?! working on the treadmill right now then moving to the road!
- cutting the white carbs and sugars
- meal replacement shakes for lunch - it helps with the calorie count and less tempation to eat out. i do it because it's just plain easy. not because i think meal replacement shakes are the reason for weight loss. make sense?
- snacks are fruit and veggies...not bagels and crackers (the whole cutting white carbs thing)
- hit it hard during the week and remain "flexible" on the weekends
- we did a "cleanse" the first week, which was more of a jump start to help motivate..and it did

and that's about it!

Go TEAM THOMAS...both brian and i are down about 10-12lbs since the first of the year. here's to another 10-12lb more!

I will be referring to this post in a few months to come. To motivate myself after baby, I'm signing up for the Pumpkin Run in October...the 10K! Wanna join me?
