Jogging still sucks...yet, somehow sucks less....

So, I've been kindof a slacker and haven't jogged since my Jog Blog. Terrible! So, this morning I did something I've never done before...

I JOGGED BEFORE WORK!!!!

This is a huge personal victory, because it's something I've always said I would do. "Yeah, I mean, I'll wake up tomorrow and run and whatever...ya know, then go to work." But it usually ends up "Dear Gob, why did I drink 12 beers? I'd better sleep til the last possible second where I have to shower...."

I tried to go for 2 victories in 1 (never a good idea. always savor victories singly) and jog/walk for 45 mins instead of my usual 20. I managed to make it 30 somehow. I kinda blacked out for part of it.

On October 7th, I took my measurements. It's time to start charting progress! I learned that I have 5" to lose in my waist. When I measured again on the 13th, I'd only lost an inch in my butt. Great. The last place I want to lose anything.  I didn't measure anything that I wasn't concerned about, because that's a waste of my time. But as of today I'm at:

• Gut Across Bellybutton (target area)- 35"
• Butt (across widest part)-39"
• High Waist (ya know, the tiny part)- 30"

So, I've lost an inch in my butt, and an inch in my high waist since October 7th! WOOT!! I'm gonna try and kick it up a notch and whittle this gut down, since it's the whole reason I'm doing this in the first place. 5 inches by Christmaaaaaas!!


Also, if you're a dude, DO NOT holler at a girl who's sweating her ass off, beet red, running on uneven brokenass hood sidewalk. That girl has enough adrenaline and rage built up to shoot a fireball from her eyes. That is, if she could have mustered the strength to turn her head fast enough to shoot the tires off your Chevy. I'm trying really hard not to make this about Mexicans.

ANYWAYS...I've noticed me and Dani both wear NEW BALANCE!! Not only my fave shoes ever, but I love that we've had these shoes 3+ years and they're immaculate still. So, now I have a buddy to kill my NB's with. Not sure what kinda shoes SJ is rockin', but maybe we could score some kind of New Balance sponsorship? Like, free tshirts to wear when we jog or something? I have no idea how to go about this. If anyone does, hook a sister up.

With that, it's time to make some egg/cheese/salsa breakfast tacos and shower the stench of yardwork off of me. Seriously, neighborhood of Battle Bend. Give me just ONE DAY where you're not cutting grass or chopping trees. My sinuses would love you forever.
