I’m up. Very up. I don’t even want to calculate how up I am. 159 lbs. Again. Blech.

So, let’s focus on what I did do (5k, 30 Day EAS Active Challenge) instead of what I didn’t do (LOSE WEIGHT), shall we?

That’s a 25 lb donation for each of those accomplishments. I didn’t have 50 lbs of food in the house so I invite you to visualize.

Thank goodness for photo editing, ya’ll.

Yeah, so I’m up this week.

5 POUNDS!  5 POUNDS?!?!

I seriously have no idea what happened.

And I’m pissed.

Well, at least I finished the 30 Day Challenge and the 5k.  That’s 50 pounds to the food bank.

I’m not in the mood to write anything else.

I’m down another pound this week!  Yippee!

After skipping week 5 (I know…I’m bad) I am happy to report that I am down to 154.  That’s 4 pounds total for the challenge, and only 1 more pound to go to reach my goal!!

In other news, I know it passed quietly, but I DID finish the EAS 30 Day Challenge.  It took me 32 days, but I finished instead of quitting like I would have in the past.

You know what that means, right?  Another 25 pounds to the food bank!  That brings my grand total to 54 pounds of food going out there.  And WHEN I lose this last pound, that’ll mean I’ll have met all my goals.

Excuse me for tooting my own horn, but GO ME!!

Despite my 40 point dessert, I managed to drop another pound this week! That brings me to 3 pounds for the challenge (1.6 pounds down from where I started…stupid Week 1 gain!)

2 pounds to go!!

I’m not entirely sure how it happened, considering all the sins I confessed on Monday, but I am down another pound this week!  This puts me at 156, just 3 pounds to go until my goal!  I need to switch into high gear if I want to lose those last 3 in the next 4 weeks,though.

Another pound to the food bank!

35:00

That was my goal. To cross the finish line in 35:00.

My training runs that led up to the race left me thinking that beating 35:00 would be easy, peasy.

But alas, the goal eluded by LESS THAN 20 SECONDS!

20 seconds, folks.

And you know what?  Screw my goal.  Screw that 20 seconds.  I took 1:30 off my previous 5k time.  That’s HUGE!

So, I’m calling that an achieved goal.  Now, to go buy 25 lbs of food so that I can take a picture of that instead of my tomato face.

The Great Frederick Fair 5k.  September 12th, 2009. Unofficial time 35:20.
