This week has been interesting. As of today, we are in 5, 1/3 of the way down in this program. I was excited to share some cools things this week and was really frustrated that my videos couldn’t upload- sometimes technology sucks. Â
So, I didn’t even brother trying to do another confession video, so I have to bore you with just written form. Sorry. (can you still tell I’m a bit perturbed?)
Cool thing #1: Down 13 lbs- that’s the bomb!
(I don’t think I’ll see any loss in the am tomorrow though- TTOM- and I can “feel” the bloatedness. I hope there’s no gain.
Cool thing #2: I’m wearing knee high boots! (I showed this in my video- ugh). As I’ve gained weight, my calves got larger and after a while, boots wouldn’t fit because of my calves. I don’t think I’ve worn boots in like 5 years. I was too cute with my jeans and my cute brown knee high boots. 
Not so great thing #1: I’m sore. Really sore. My shoulder hurts still, so my dad told me to ice it off and on, that’s helped a lot today. My right heel hurts. So, I’m icing that too. I fee like my body is just breaking down. But, I know that its because we’re working so hard and gaining strength. But, being a person that really doesn’t do meds, I’ve had a hard time taking advil because I feel like I’m taking it everyday, but I have too. MY whole theory of “your body will take care of itself” as gone right out the window since my shoulder is still hurting from the push up challenge.
Not so great thing #2: I have not completed the 2 mile challenge yet. Haven’t even attempted yet. I’m a little scared. Just when I think I’m getting stronger, I run the other morning and BARELY made to the stop sign, like a 100 feet without HAVING to stop. I”m no punk, so I’m gonna do it tomorrow, but I do think I’ll “pass” this one. I hate losing.Â
 So, that’s my week. My baby is spending the night at my brother’s tonight. He Loves his cousins. We got to have alone time tonight. It was great. Really great. But, it’s his first time sleeping away from home other than Grandmas and I can’t help thinking of him. My hubby is fast asleep and I can’t sleep because I miss my little guy.
Good night and be blessed!

13 pounds is wonderful! I am so proud of you. Don’t worry about the 2 mile challenge. Just jog it. You don’t have to go super fast. As long as you tried that’s all that matters. Soreness. That’s what husbands are for. Hey…get a sitter…candles…massage oil and hey…you two will have a great date night! You are doing great! We’ll call you today!
You are doing awesome Tuccoa. I know what you mean about the 2 miles - I think Steve should have just said, Get there as fast as you can, not RUN as fast as you can. I can only do 1 min. - 2 min. jogging sprints, then I have to walk again. You should post a pic of the boots! Talk soon!
TTOM sucks. I felt like I had been ran over by a train. I had NO energy. Hang in there. Next weekyou will feel like a million bucks.
Missing the little ones is hard. I go a week at a time.
Great job at losing 13 lbs. I’m working towards trying to be committed to losing weight, but it is always to much good food in the house because my husband loves to cook, and when the food is just there I eat, I’m weak when it comes to food. But I am so proud of you. And go ahead and knock that 2 mile challenge out. I just turned 40 in January and I supposed to have completed a marathon before I turned 40, but it didn’t happen so maybe I will complete one this year. Good Luck.
Again, congratulations on the weight loss and another congrats for stepping out in those boots. You are going to have so many of these moments and I am happy for you. Taking care of yourself opens lots of doors, not just overall health, but doors to a new wardrobe too
Keep up the hard work!
You’ll do great on the running challenge, just go at your own pace! Keep it up!
