Well HELLO Size 8! I've missed you!

Sorry - I just realized I didn't really update you guys about all my weight-loss journey in a long long time! So here we go:

It's still work in progress, but my workouts are going great, my running improves continuously, and I started lifting a few months ago as well.

I picked up boxing again, thinking about going back to kickboxing at one point. But this depends on how well my lower back will works with me - or against me. I work out boxing-wise with one of our trainers who is a MMA fighter (his first pro fight will be Sept 19th!), or do shadow boxing and some nigtmare-ish cardio routine alone. I never thought I was capable of punishing myself the way I do lately when it comes to rope skipping, sit-ups, and push-ups!

Running: My average time on the 2 mile run is currently 18 minutes. The heat was killing me all throughout summer. Today we are still in the mid 90F. Right now I'm hoping for some cooler weather to come to South Arkansas soon, so I can start working on my long distance runs.

I've kicked out 70% of my wardrobe during the past months, since most of it wouldn't really fit well anymore. So yesterday I went to H&M in Shreveport, looking for some daisy dukes... I found some I really liked, and gave a size 8 a try...

I'd say they fit! Guess who did the happy dance right there and then, in the H&M changing rooms? So yes, overall my journey is going very well!
