As I sit here writing to you all, I am waiting for Frankenstorm to approach. Where I live in New Jersey, is pretty much the center of the storm and work has been called off for the next 2 days. It is just lovely, and I am not really bothered by it because I have lived on Long Island where hurricanes and storms are a normal occurance.
What am I worried about? Not being able to go out for a run. This month has been a kick butt month for running and I will be hitting 50 miles on the 31st. I enjoy going out and running my normal route and then going the neighborhood. It is not necessarily fun having the wind make running hard but that is okay, I have gotten used to it. I know that running during the storm is not the best idea which is why I won't be doing it. I mean, this storm is only three days out of my life so it is not that bad right?
Today, since I am rather bored I am going to be doing a lot of exercise once I get my butt off the couch. I want to try and lose 1.4 lbs by the end of this month because then I will have hit my 30 lb mark. I am unsure if it will happen but I am going to try my hardest that is for sure.
One thing I have noticed over the past month is that I am loosing a boat load of inches off my body. From the beginning to the end I have lost about 11 1/2 inches. It is pretty crazy and to see clothes that fit at the beginning of the month that no longer fit now. It is pretty exciting!
I am excited to see what November is like!
Until next time......

C25k
So, I started the c25k program four weeks ago today. Initially, I started in but because I was so heavy and have no motivation I stopped at the end of week 3. At the beginning of September I decided to give myself another shot at running. Since then I have really enjoyed running. I am not exactly sure why, but it might be the fact that I am addicted to sweating now or just my excitement. I am noticing that my body is physically changing which is pretty sweet. However, there is one downfall. The scale is refusing to move at this point. I want to push the number down but it is not working. So I am just pushing through with running three times a week and doing zumba three times a week. We will see what results I have on the scale Sunday.
With my Reaper family, we are doing a scavenger hunt for the month of October. We created a list of things we are to do within the month. The list ranges from not eating meat for a day, hopping from your home to car, and completing all your goals for the month. This challenge has seen everyone off and running and it has been a lot of fun thus far. I also decided to join a running challenge for the month. Most of the people are doing 100 miles within the month. I decided to lower my goal a bit because I am not ready for that. So, this month I am going to run 50 miles this month. I am so excited and ready to start this running challenge.
