Oh to be just overweight!

Yay!  I met my goal for this month (Sept) today and just wanted to enjoy the moment (or day LOL).  I reached 143.8 this morning, so it was a close call since my goal was 144.  That means I am  only a couple pounds away from a HEALTHY BMI!!!  Yee Haw, baby!!  I’m almost “healthy”!  My goal for October is to not only reach the healthy BMI range, but to also get into the 130’s..the farther the better! 

On another note, I set my preliminary (Ultimate) goal at 135 since that was the weight I maintained throughout high school.  We’ll see how the 30-something me looks at that weight.  Things aren’t quite as tight as they once were.  I know most of you can relate.  Anyway, I do feel amazing (the vast majority of the time) and am SO much happier with how I look and feel in and out of my clothes!  HeeHee 

I do hope to continue getting fitter, so the quest is ever on to find the right exercises for me to  do that.  I found out at my chiropractor the other day that Pilates is irritating my back muscles.  Apparently it’s making my core ab muscle so tight that that muscle is pulling on my back muscles, causing trouble.  So, pilates is out.  I’m thinking of trying Bob’s (from Biggest Loser) weightloss yoga.  I’ve heard good things.  I’m going to check it out from my library first and see what I think, so I’ll keep ya’ll posted.  The running and strength training are still working wonderfully, so they get to stay for October!  I’m doing a new 5K training plan that works on speed and also build endurance.  We’ll see how my legs/body feel about running 5X/wk now.  The fun begins tomorrow!
