Last Monday I bought a new scale, a digital one that had great reviews on it and it weighed me at 152 lbs which was about 5 lbs more than my old scale was. At first I was discouraged as I guess maybe I weighed more during pregnancy than I thought and probably all last year instead of weighing 134 lbs I probably weighed 137 - 139 lbs. Last week I ran a total of 17 miles which equaled to 1700-1800 calories burnt, 1,700 calories is a lb; this Monday morning I weighed myself at 150 lbs then this morning I weighed myself just out of curiosity and it said 149.2 lbs so the lbs are slowly coming off and I am excited. Hopefully as my mileage stays up over 10 miles a week I will keep seeing 1-2 lbs falling off each week, especially as I try to walk 3 miles on the days that I don't run, so that is an extra 600-800 calories burnt. This week I will be running 18 miles, along with the walking so hopefully things will keep looking up.
Dorian is slowly giving up his laughs to me, he has been trying to hold them in all this time. He is so adorable, and already wanting to fall asleep by himself in his bassinet or crib, I used to have to hold him, rock him or try anything to get him to fall asleep but for the past month he has been preferring his bassinet at night or the crib at the shop during nap time. It kind of hurts, but during the weekends he is happy to cuddle with me on the couch, and of course he likes to be carried around. I remember in the beginning everyone was telling me and Cameron that we were spoiling him by holding him too much, that he wouldn't want to fall asleep by himself or learn to soothe himself, it is amazing how wrong people who think they know everything can be. I haven't weighed him for almost 2 weeks, but I think he is getting up towards 15 lbs now, two weeks ago I weighed him at 14.3 lbs so it wouldn't surprise me if he has already reached 15 lbs.
We've created a team called Chaos for the Spartan Race next April, we're doing the Spartan Sprint or 4 mile race with 15 obstacles which should be exciting. Right now it's just me and Cameron who have joined, but Jared plans on joining, Ethan and Preston do as well and hopefully Shauna will have the money to. Cameron is trying to talk his friend Brian into it, and Preston is going to try and get Nicole to do it as well. It will definitely be an interesting race, and hopefully fun. I plan on taking it seriously and training hard for it over the winter, hopefully everyone else will too, it's not so much the running but the obstacles that I am concerned with, and of Cameron's training as he will most likely be the one who doesn't train for it.
