I am getting so discouraged... first I bought a new scale because our old analog one was starting to act goofy (I think the springs were worn out) and when we got a digital it read almost 5 lbs. higher than I thought I was!

I still can't stand the way that I look in pictures- and it is soooo frustrating! I think one main reason is that I have a chubby/rounder face- I always assumed it had to do with my weight but now I am beginning to wonder if I just have a chubby face...

Wow- could I be any whinier? Probably. Ish, I can't stand whiny-ness even when it comes from me!

Ok, enough of that (for now- the day is still young, lol)

Good things:
- I finally learned how to make a cold bean salad. It takes like all of five minutes, and it is fabulous.

- I ran 6 miles at a pace that was under 9 1/2 minutes per mile on average.

- My legs are looking leaner

- My skin is still looking cleaner/more glow-y (I dunno how to describe it but apparently it is the same "glow" that pregnant women have because ever since I started running I keep getting asked if I am pregnant. Not an ego boost when you are trying to loose weight FYI)

- I am enjoying the new cute work clothes that I had to buy since I shrunk out of my old wardrobe

Goals:
- I want to start doing Pilates twice a week to help tone. Starting tonight.

- I really want to be running 7 miles in two weeks from today, I have been running 6 miles for going on 3 weeks now.

- I want to learn how to cook new, easy dishes. I have already joined a challenge for this and did a new meal yesterday. It was 2/3 successful- but it was a freaking awesome dinner anyhow.

Does anyone else but me read other's journal entries on this site? I read other's journals and I am beginning to feel like a stalker... not that it stops me from commenting but still....

Well, my coffee cravings are going way down since I cut out most modified sugars out of my diet. I thought it would be very hard, and I am sure that I am still getting a gram here or there that was man-made but overall I am happy- all I needed to do was switch my peanut butter for more natural stuff, get reduced sugar ketchup, and swap my daily yogurts for cottage cheese.

Speaking of which- the Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! Soooo yummy, why on earth do they bother adding extra sugar in the first place?

The reduced sugar ketchup tastes better too- I even had hubby try it and he said that ketchup should taste like that anyhow... why are these companies adding so much sugar to everything? It seems as though stuff is tastier without it!

Bah, tonight's goal is to take a new profile picture of myself- although I will miss the cute doggy pics...

Scale said 111.2 this morning. It is hard to not let the number of the scale get you down- even when I had to go shopping this weekend for new work clothes because my other ones were (literally) falling off because I must be losing inches.

Looking back on it, I now wish I would have kept measurements as another way to track my progress. I am debating whether or not it would be worth starting to keep measurements now...

The positives that I am focusing on: way more energy, not craving coffee like I used to, looking better in my clothes, had to get new clothes because I shrunk, my skin is looking great, and I have inspired my hubby to start working out on a regular basis as well!

Another benefit of running is that I get to look at all the pretty trees and the creek that the running trail follows every-other day. I am finding myself bummed when it is not a running day- although the pain of shin splits is still ingrained enough in my mind to remind myself not to be stupid and push too hard too quickly again :(
