To all those that have been following along, I have reached my half way point today! This morning my new number was 173.6, which makes a total of 33.6 pounds lost since the 3rd of March. I'm half way there! I'm excited and a little scared. This week I will do one whole day on my own. JC recommends doing two days on your own, but I want to take it slow. If I'm okay and don't gain next week, then I'll drop it to five days and so on. This week Ericka was sick, so I didn't get to see her. I saw another consultant, the same one I saw two weeks ago. It's just not the same when you have to see someone else. I was a little bummed that it was someone else for my milestone. But Ericka and I did talk last week about making the transition and I got the book, (that I now need to read) on tips for the transition. Plus I'm now counting down the days to my 10K race. In 14 days I WILL complete my first 10K! So in my meeting this week we did not discuss much, but we never really do when I meet with someone else. It's just the basic questions they ask you, "What worked this week for you?", "What didn't work?" "How confident do you feel about how you are doing?", that kind of thing and then planning the next week's food. Don't get me wrong, she's nice, she tries to step in and not make it feel like a change in routine, but she's not Ericka. So the changes have been made and we are now boarding the train again for next half of the journey. 
Today's workout was a little rough, but the day after a long run always is. I did get in 4 miles, but I had to push myself to get it there. My legs feel like rubber today and my gluts are a little sore. And that's all I'm saying about that. I feel like I can finish the 10K in two weeks, I'm not sure if the run will be totally smooth and I still feel like I will probably struggle with that last mile and a half, but I'm confident I can do it. I'm wondering though after the race, how will I stay motivated to keep my exercise up for the diet plan? I know that I can not afford to travel again this year for another race, given the recent changes in our lives. So I guess I will have to start looking around El Paso for another race to train for.
Well that's this weeks weigh in post. Next week is looking just a little scary. Let's see how much I've learned. Til next week, keep moving! ~ Darcy
