This is the journey of two women (and one of their moms) on the way to losing a combined total of 300lbs. We will talk about the good, the bad, the fatty, and everything in between. Sometimes there will be some bitching, and sometimes there will be some gushy ridiculousness, but it's all in an effort to keep us on the right track to being healthier and more confident women.

So once again I've been a bad blogger.  It's been a month since I last posted and I feel bad about that.

I found out today that I really should stay away from cheese.  I'm not going to gross you out with any details, just going to say that I have my proof.  And cheese is one of my most favorite things ever so that's hard for me to admit.

I've been craving a lot of kiwi and a lot of shrimp.  I looked them up.  Shrimp has a lot of selenium which helps with thyroid function and that has to do with the metabolism.  The kiwi has a lot of potassium in it which helps the muscles.  So I figure it has something to do with the extra working out that I've been doing.

Though the weather hasn't helped my running much.  I have improved my fastest time from a 10 min 38 sec mile to a 9 min 3 sec mile, but I haven't been getting to do much running.  It's been too cold, even though spring was supposed to have started already.

I think the worst part of all of this, though, is that even though I am actually in a size 12, I look down and I see a size 20 body still.  I'm at my target size more than a year ahead of schedule, but I still feel fat and disgusting.  And I don't know what to do to change that.  Though having a gut that still sticks out further than my boobs doesn't help but I'm not 100% certain how to get rid of that without doing a whole lot of sit ups.

I have a year to figure it out though.
