This is my final week before the BIG weigh in. I have a lot of running to do, but of course have not seen a change on the scales lately. I wonder while I was sick and not running for 3 weeks that my body was burning calories from my muscles and deteriating them. Now that I am starting to run again it is pulling in a lot of water in to rebuild the muscles and so far taking a long time to see a change on the scale. I went pant shopping the other day and noticed that there are a lot of size 8 that are too tight in my butt. I want to be able to wear all pants that are size 8 so I have a lot of work to do in that area. Who knows if it will ever come off. So even though the final weigh in is on Friday, I will be still working on losing weight in that area. Maybe it will end up being just fat lost and the weight will not change on the scale, but I am fine with that. I just want to tone up. This may be the first time in 15 years that I actually wear a swimming suit without board shorts over top. Who knows.
