GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLL

my new goal has been met! i am now the friday evening rumble instructor!!! pretty exciting. tonight was my first class with me teaching all by myself. i was making myself sick worrying about how it was going to go, but once i got into the warm up, i was feeling okay. pretty strange that 7 months ago today, i was still sitting in the hospital, one day out of surgery! and here i am today 78 lbs lighter, and working as a fitness instructor!
when i watched the biggest loser, i noticed that a lot of the people that go through that, end up being an instructor. now i totally understand why!!! i want everyone to feel as good as i do, i feel like i was just given this amazing secret. i havent been running as much lately, bc i have been training to take over the class, so i am back on it tomorrow! i have only run twice this week, and only a mile each time. i feel like a slacker.:)

my hair

my hair is definitely a casualty of this surgery, and recovery. i used to have pretty thick hair, and very strong. it had to be, considering all the different colors i color it. now i have some breakage, and its not anywhere near as thick. it is really bugging me. so now i am really going full throttle on the protein. i even have starbucks put in a scoop of protein powder in my mocha light frappucinos.
i am getting a lot of positive feedback from everyone, and it is just motivating me all the more! i have such a great support system, and i dont know what i would do without everyone!!!!!
i have a goal that is possibly going to be met, and soon. will have to keep everyone posted when i find out the (good?) news.

sizes

i have officially moved into a regular size 14!!!! no more plus size for me! yippeeee!!! i bought a pair of shorts to wear for biking, and they are a 12/14 thank you very much! i havent been this size in soooooo long. this is very exciting.
i got my form to fill out for my 5k. i need to fill it out and send it in. definitely no turning back after that! still concerned that rodney is leaving in 2 weeks, and worried about having that support from a trainer. hopefully i can meet at least one more time before he leaves, just to get in anything else i need.
need to add more protein again, and more veggies. way too easy to get off track, so i need to get right back on.

WTF!??

just got some really sucky news today. my trainer, hot rodney is leaving. i am happy that he is advancing his career, BUT, i am in a selfish mode, so i am freaking out over what this means to ME!
h0w the hell am i supposed to get to my goals of a seven minute mile, and finishing a 5k? not to mention no more plyo burn or friday rumble? i just about had a panic attack after he told me.
this is not boding well for my goals.
btw, i am starting to not hate my arms lately.
