That's me eating whole bags of chips. That's me eating pizza. That's me having a late-night sushi roll yesterday. That's me eating a whole bunch of other junky stuff in quantities that I really shouldn't have. That's also me running every other day for weeks on end no matter how crappy I felt or how bad the weather was. Not bad, eh?
I have three more training sessions for RunKeeper's Beginner 5k before my "race" run. No, I didn't actually sign up for a race, but it'll be nice to see what kind of record I can manage if I was doing a race. Maybe I'll consider enrolling in races in the near future.
Now the risky bit. About a month ago, I bought a bikini. Attitudes seem to be floating around during this season that reflect, "To have a bikini body, put a bikini on your body." Internally, I cringe. Like, "no one wants to see that," then I think, "Who cares about them? Not me!" Still, I'm not entirely happy with what I see underneath my clothes, but it's a work in progress.
My loving fiance has challenged me to step up my progress photos in this way, and I think he's got a good point. Perhaps this can boost my motivation, but also my self-esteem. No more hiding behind my all-black workout clothes. Time to bare all (well, not ALL). Blah blah blah, here they are (left is July 1st, right is August 1st):
*breathes* I'm okay. It's okay. I don't look horrible. I don't look bad. I certainly look better than I did at 243 lbs. It's okay. I'm okay.
