So time to play catch up! The stats below are for my last 3 WI's. I lost a total of 5.4 lbs at 3 WI's!!! A whopping 4.2 loss on June 15th's WI...I really hope this means my plateau has officially been kicked!

Now that we're caught up on my last 3 weeks of SLACKING, let's get down to business! Let's see...what's been going on with me??
Well, pretty much same 'ol, same 'ol. The last walk/run I did was still the quarter marathon. My next walk is this Saturday in the town next to mine. It's nothing special....just a walk that was thrown together for their annual rodeo days...yes, I said it...rodeo days. Wisconsin is FULL of town and state festivals ALL summer long. Can you blame us? We're cooped up in the house for at least 6 months out of the year due to the blistering cold winters!

I have planned out run/walks through September, and they are as follows:
July 3-Rodeo 5kJuly 10-YMCA 10K
August 14-Grunski Runski 10k
August 28-Charity Challenge 5kSeptember 19-ThedaCare Orthopedics Plus Half Marathon
What can I say!?! I'm addicted to them! The best part-I even have Chris doing them with us now, and he loves them! The July 10 10k will be his first 10k, however, and I think he is underestimating how grueling this walk/run is going to be. FUN TIMES!

SHOPPING!
That's right, I finally gave into the baggy and overwhelmingly frumpy clothes in my closet! There is a page that was created on facebook called "ww traveling pants (and skirts...and dresses)", and I have utilized it greatly! I went through my closet and rid of all bottoms bigger than a size 16, and all tops bigger than a Large (I am somewhere between a size 14 and 16 now and a size medium or large in tops). I also was able to benefit from the amazing girls on the page that are smaller than me currently, and giving up their larger clothes! However, there were still a few essentials I needed to add to the wardrobe, and saved up a couple paychecks to go shopping! It was AWESOME!

Modeling a couple new purchases!

I also decided to reward myself with one thing that I really wanted that I normally wouldn't be able to afford, but could afford because I had some money saved up! See Link: http://www.dooney.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=47129

I LOOOOOVE IIIIIT!! :) :)

FOOD!
I bought a 3 months journal and one of those cute little snap books to put it in, as well as my ww weekly book. Having something tangible to carry around in my purse has really stepped up my tracking game! It's also super cute, and I constantly want to pull it out and use it. See Below:

I've really been stepping up my veggies/fruits intake, water, and have been eating oatmeal and taking a multi vitamin religiously every day. I think it's working! However, I did go a little overboard Saturday with points...went out to a comedy club, so alcohol and snacking really added up, but I tracked it, and I'm moving on!

SUPPORT TEAM!
Now I remember I said I'd try to introduce you to all of my support team randomly throughout my blogs! So, this week, I'd like you to meet my favorite person in the entire world, dbf Chris! :) :) He has been such an amazing support system throughout my journey and tells me over and over again how proud of me he is, so this is a shout out to the love of my life! :) :)

RECIPES!!
Now I know I also said I'd get some recipes up...haven't gotten to that yet! I hope to get some up this week, so stay tuned! Tonight's dinner is going to be a light version of fish sticks! How fun does that sound?!?!

Tomorrow is WI day, so I'll update you on the newest success (hopefully!) asap! TTFN!
