Fitness Friday Down 35 Pounds!

It’s been a few weeks since my last Fitness Friday post. There’s been a lot that has happened since then. Mr. Bear was in the hospital for a few days, with a Pulmonary Embolism, which scared me half to death. It was a touch and go situation, and he’s on the mend now, but he’s got a lot of healing left to do. It really put our lives and health into perspective! He’s doing much better and he’s got a renewed commitment to improving his health and fitness, which makes me very happy, happy!

I’ve been running a lot lately! I ran 9 miles through the hills in Del Mar one weekend, then the following weekend, I ran another 9 miles. I’m feeling pretty good that 9 miles is a good base of mileage for me. I feel as though I could really complete the La Jolla Half Marathon now if I had to! Although, I’m thrilled I’ve got another month before I have to worry about the half marathon. I had to take the past week off from running because I was having stiffness and pain in my Achilles tendon area. If I’ve learned anything from the years I’ve been running, the lesson is to listen to your body and stop running if it hurts. So, this one time, I listened. I iced, I applied heat, I did gentle stretching, and I stayed off of it.

I iced, I applied heat, I did gentle stretching, and I stayed off of it. This weekend, it’s onward and upward! I’ll probably take it easy this weekend. We’ve been doing a lot of hill and speed work lately, which is making me very strong, but I’m concerned it’s also the culprit for my nagging Achilles pain.

The big news is that I’ve lost 35 pounds to date!

I am actually at 37.1 pounds down today! I’m so excited! It has been a little more of a struggle this round at Lindora. I’ve really leaned on the support of the staff at Lindora every time I go in. With the stress of Mr. Bear going into the hospital and my Achilles pain, my exercise has been less intense and hasn’t complimented my weight loss. I’ve been slipping with tracking my food and weighing my food. It’s those little things that really add up. I do feel as though this is a lifestyle change that I can sustain forever. It’s been an amazing gift, this lifestyle change!

Two days ago, I went clothes shopping. I’m down about a size and a half in tops and bottoms. Everything that I used to wear before I lost weight hangs on me. It’s crazy! When I was shopping, I was trying on sizes that I was sure weren’t going to fit. Imagine my surprise when the clothing slid right on, with room! Oh! It’s amazing and I’m feeling so much more confident!

I am looking so forward to see where this weight loss goes! I’m excited to announce a big milestone with my next post. I’m hoping to have lost 40 pounds by next Friday. That’s a mere 3 pounds! I know I can do it! It’s such a great feeling to see all the success happening! This lifestyle change really has been easier than I could have imagined it to be!

Until next time, be happy and healthy!

What goals have you accomplished since the beginning of the year?

Disclosure: I have been offered a 10 weeks with Lindora, in exchange for sharing my personal opinions and experiences with Lindora. All opinions are my own. I only share information about products, companies, and services I believe will be helpful for my readers. I’m losing weight and following the plan on Lindora and loving it!

2020 was weird. There were good times and bad. I'm 2020 was weird. There were good times and bad. I'm glad that we made it through. I am looking forward to starting fresh in 2021. I have a lot of #goals for #2021. Many are recycled from last year's #visionboard, but that's okay. I have my canceled #marathon coming up in May. I'll finally apply to #lawschool and follow my dreams, wherever they take me.  Happy new year!

For Christmas, hubby's car needed to be replaced. We bought a #minicooper last week and he's over the moon. The green is amazing! I love how it stands out! He met me at the finish to drive me back to the start. What a fun car!

Time is doing things to my face, and that's okay. Time is doing things to my face, and that's okay. I finally got my hair done for the first time in 2020. I had previously got a covid cut in the backyard several months back, but this was the first time having a professional do my hair ALL. YEAR. I felt so good, I came home and put my pajamas on. 😂 It's been a really hard year, but I have grown so much this year and I'm not just talking about my pants size. 😂 Life is good.

This is where it all started. This was where our f This is where it all started. This was where our first date happened. More than a quarter of a century ago, Eric asked me on a date and took me to the restaurant on the end of this pier. As it happened, my mom ended up joining us. This was a fortuitous twist, as Eric forgot his wallet, and I didn't have any money, as a starving college student.

I started my 5 mile run at that same pier. I smiled to myself, remembering simpler times that, at the time, didn't seem so simple. I breathed in the fresh air and hung on to these memories. I am so grateful for the blind date that worked out to be our love story.

It's beginning to look more like Christmas and my running soul is enjoying every single sighting of Christmas joy. It seems like there's a lot of people that are hurting right now, in the community. We're going to have to work together to spread joy this year and help fill those needs that families have this year. How can I be of service today?
