It's been 8 weeks.........

So I am at 8 weeks today! Here's the scoop.....I am now down 22 lbs and well over 20 inches less of a person! (I have misplaced my original measurements sheet about 3 weeks ago, so we had to guesstimate my measurements at that point.) However, this last week alone, I lost 5 inches and 6 lbs!
Last week, I noticed I was getting lax on my diet....I would have a handful of this or a bite of that (all of which the "this" and "that" were foods that are not included in my diet). So Monday I decided that I need to tighten my diet back up to where it was during the first 4 weeks.
During these last 4 weeks, we have increased my weight on lifting days and I have found a new love for running! My new goal I have set for myself is to run a 5K on May 23rd here in Bremen. Four weeks ago, I was so super pumped when I ran 10 mins without stopping to walk......yesterday I ran 34 mins without stopping to walk and in the 34 mins I ran 3.1 miles. I still workout with Matt two days a week and the other days I go to New Energy. My attitude overall is completely different.....I'm a MUCH happier person to be around these days! :) Husband says he's got his old "Mindy" back........


Ok, ok so here's the pictures........



I wanted to wear the same thing I had on in week 1 and week 4, so here's that pic.


And here's week 1 to week 8......I had to do it! :)



Soooooo, there ya have it! I have 4 more weeks to go on this regimen, then who KNOWS what Mr. Packer has in store for me! heehee!
