A Little Update
Last Wednesday, I ran my first full 5k (3.1 miles), start to finish, without stopping to walk :) I ran 6.3mph the whole time for a time of 29:30. This is such an accomplishment for me, and I feel so proud of myself! It's a great motivator to just have the knowledge that you can do something you weren't sure about.
Friday I weighed in and had lost 1.1lbs! I am now 169.5, which is 5.5 away from my next goal, 19.5 away from my ultimate goal, and only 8.5 away from losing 100lbs from my highest weight!!! Can you believe that?! It's hard to believe how far I've come. I'm amazed that I've actually been able to do this.
Saturday, Paulie and I went to the gym and I ran 3.25 miles without stopping! If I can just increase it a little bit every time, I wonder how far I can go!!
Saturday night, we went to Ninja NYC, which is an awesome restaurant. I was surprised at the quality of the food, and the Ninjas were very entertaining. Sunday, a group of us had an awesome brunch, regrettably watched "Sucker Punch," which was boring, repetetive, cliche, and just awful, and walked around the city a bit. Even though it was freezing, it was still a fun day.
Last night, I had my first wedding anxiety dream. I was in school, and it was a Friday. We had class, and then I was getting married that night. I had a beautiful dress, but nobody to do my hair and makeup, no flowers, I hadn't picked my bridesmaids, we didn't have a playlist for the DJ, nor did I have music to walk down the aisle to, and I had to poop but nobody would leave me alone! What an awful dream! I woke up stressed, tired, and with my head and jaw aching from grinding my teeth. Shouldn't I wait to have "nightmarries" (cute, right?) until I'm anywhere near even picking a date?! Come on!
It's the beginning of a new week, and I can only hope it passes smoothly and quickly. I don't mind my job, but I do mind the people I work with, haha. I hope I can control myself with food and have another successful week. I know my time with Paulie will be great, and hopefully I'll get to see some friends here and there. And of course, Friday is Paulie's birthday!! I'm excited to celebrate his birthday with him, even if he's not :P
