Graduation Week

This week is busy! My sisters graduate from high school on Thursday, and Chris graduates with his Associates on Friday. I was excited to buy a new dress for the occasions and even more excited when I could fit into the regular size clothes at the boutique. Of course, some of the larges don't fit me well (my chest is much bigger since I have had Emersyn), but what made me most excited was that I fit into "one size fits all" leggings.

Side Note:
 I HATE "one size fits all" clothing. They DO NOT fit all. When I was pregnant, I found a cute shirt that was "one size". I told the clerk that there was no way it fit anyone, but she assured me that the shirt "does a lot of stretching, and looks cute on everyone". WRONG! I tried it on and felt like crap. So imagine my devastation when I was looking for leggings to put under my dress and the only ones the store had are "one size". I asked the clerk what size they really went up to and the clerk said "oh, you should be fine! just go try them on"...I was skeptical, but they FIT!


Running:
Last week I didn't get to run much. I ran two miles on Monday, and that was it. I am still working on my speed, though. This week, my plan is to run Monday-Wednesday since we have graduations at the end of the week.

Monday went well- I ran a mile in 11:18, which is the fastest I've run a mile since I started this endeavor. If I kept that pace up for 3.1 miles (which is doubtful) then I could run my 5k in less than 35 minutes!

Today I plan to run 5k. I'm hoping to keep my pace below 13 min/m. I am still really hoping to run our next race in less than 40 min.



I am 42 pounds down (164)! 19 pounds to go!

(if my "to go" pounds don't seem consistent, it's because they're not! My original goal was just to not be considered "overweight," now I think I could be more of my ideal weight)
