Extra on Friday

Grandma that watches DS on thursdays/fridays is sick, so I get the lil guy tonight. Originally this week i was going to run a mile today, then after my awesome long run on wed, i thought i'd let todays run go (since i got the extra mile in). But now that i have a few extra hours tonight, I am going to try and run 1.5 to 2 miles with Ds.

Could be interesting, wednesday right after I stopped running DS spazzed out in his pull behind the bike trailer and cried the mile to the truck. Last night, DH took him running and three miles out DS cried inconsolobly the whole three miles back to the truck and the whole ride home and then some. Not sure what DS deal is.

Hoping my run goes well tonight. Extra miles = extra calories burnt = faster weight loss.

Even though i've been running more than ever before this month i still feel like i'm not losing any weight. Of course i'm hungrier, i suppose i could be eating a little bit better but i'm still doing great. I will not ever be one of those people who eats organic/soy crap everything (no offense if you are one of these people). I have to have real food, and i have come eons in my cooking and eating habits.

So my mission in September is this: 1) Run 8+ miles each week. 2) Run my next 5k nonstop and if i do it should be a PR as well. 3) Incorporate more salad and veggies 4) Do those ab exercises!

In hopes this should help me lose another 1-2 or more pounds. It better. I have two months to lose the last 5 lbs of baby weight.

I also went off my birth control (was on it for four months). I am going to see if this changes my energy levels. I have dealt with chronic fatigue (been to doctors several times and "im just fine.") for like ten years, and when i had my son i realized a big factor to it could be that i was on birth control that whole time. even though i tried a lower hormone one this time i still noticed it. Its not right to want to go to bed at 8pm every day, and want to take a nap, while exercising and eating healthy and getting a full nights sleep. So i am testing my energy level theory for these next two months as well. Since bc can make you gain five lbs as well, i hope this helps me be able to lose these next five lb to reach my goal.
