Beach Vacation...

Hola! I had great intentions of blogging while I was away at the beach for a week, but instead, my computer decided not to work thus leaving me internet-less for an entire week. I would be lying if I didn't say it was kind of nice. Sure I missed the distraction of all things internet related, but it was nice to be away from it for a whole week, even if not by my choice!

I started out my week with a lofty goal of walking (and running) 70 miles during the eight days we were there. I quickly realized that goal was a little unattainable and decided instead on a goal of 50 miles. I spent every day walking for hours and hours along the beach. It was wonderful. I ran four of the days as well with my long run being 8 miles (almost pain free!) There is nothing in the world better than strolling along the beach alone with your thoughts and the sound of the crashing waves. It was just so relaxing and wonderful.

I'm sad that it's over and am trying to psyche myself up for real life to begin tomorrow. UGH. I think I should have taken a two week vacation!

On the weight loss front things are still the same. I haven't lost a single pound in months. I had a week (two weeks ago) where I weighed in at 173.4 and I was thrilled to be rid of 175, but then I was quickly back to 175.4 this week. So frustrating! I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to take drastic measures in order to actually lose these thirty (or a dream forty) pounds. I'm not sure what those drastic measures are yet though, I feel like I'm already being really "good" - working out like crazy, running, doing weight watchers, eating a gluten free diet, etc. The only things left to do would be to cut out sugar, work out more, and add more vegetables to my diet. Other than that I'm at a complete loss.

I just hope that once I do lose the weight my body is as stubborn at staying at say 145 or 135 (dream!) pounds as it is at staying at 175.
