So after another CRAZY workout week (13 hours this week with 10 of them being from Wed-Saturday) the scale was my best friend. (Did I also mention that I have actually started eating more calories throughout the day instead of binging on CRAP at night? It's working wonders).
Anyway....Saturday morning I weighed it at 147lbs. For me this is an incredible weight. It's too bad it wont last. It never does. 150 lbs is where I ride and 150 lbs is where I will return to. Just once I would like to be at 145lbs long enough to actually buy a size 8 pant and be able to wear it for a long time (at least 6 months). Unfortunately, for me this has only been a dream. I haven't been small enough to wear a size 8 since I was a gymnast and had 10 % body fat (isn't it sad that with only 10% body fat I still wore a size 7-9? I have some freakin' huge bones.....Damned genes. Why couldn't I be born into a skinny family?).
In all reality, I just want to be 150 lbs at my 10 week doctors appointment the next time I get pregnant (NO! I AM NOT PREGNANT.......I SAID NEXT TIME, LADIES!). I have weighed in at 150 lbs every 10 week apt (other than my first. I was 160 lbs since I had packed on a bit of newlywed weight) and it is my goal to always be there when I start again.
Weight maintainence sucks. I would rather be pregnant and gaining or post pardum and loosing. What am I going to do when I am done? I will have no more excuses. I think I'll go crazy!

Can I just say that knowing what you weigh makes me feel better, because we are the same height and now I don't feel like I have to weigh 130. Because I want to look like you and you look awesome. It's early, so if that hurts your feelings, I'm really, really sorry, and please know that wasn't my intention.
I love how you can go out and do all this exercise.
I woke up certain I should exercise more. Then I opened my eyes.
I have a hard time with motivation follow through.
Valorie,
I get it all the time. "You weight what?" "no way" "you can't weigh that much"
I feel like saying "so....what are you trying to say?" But I totally get it. I think a you would look INCREADIBLE at 150. I don't think even 140 would look "healthy." You've become a woman since the last time you were a size 6. It probably isn't realistic.
Holly, if it makes you feel any better, most days I have to drag myself out the door. I ONLY do it because it is habit. Habits die hard good or bad.
