Hello 150’s!!! This morning I snuck a peek at the scale, I know I shouldn’t have, but I couldn’t help myself. I saw the 150’s for the first time in at least 4 years. I am so thrilled to be still moving on a downward trend. It feels like I’ve been doing this forever now, but it has also become much easier as the weeks go on. I am almost through my first 12 weeks of the program- and I’m hoping that this week I’ll reach my 10% which will be when I get to 159.7- this morning I was there, but I don’t know if that will change or not between now and Sunday.

This Saturday is our Tour de Cure. We will be biking 65 miles for the American Diabetes Association. We haven’t been on the bikes nearly as much as we would have liked because of the wacky weather, but I feel more than prepared since Jered and I have both been working out at least 4-5 days a week. I am taking the next two days easy to get rested up for the ride. We will be leaving here early in the morning (like 6 am!) and will start our ride before 8. Later in the day there is a Greek Festival in Newport News that we might go to with our friends- it will be nice to be able to eat whatever we want for a night! Distance cycling definitely has it’s benefits! This is also why I snuck a peek at the scale this morning- I figure I might actually show a gain since I might retain water or be heavier because of the extra fueling we might do post ride!

Here’s to hoping that I at least can stay in the 150’s for the week!
