Bikini Challenge-One Month Down

I know I'm a day early with my post but I've got nothing else.  With all the rain and freezin' temps, we spent the weekend indoors working on taxes.  YUCK!  So a day early update is what you're gettin'.

I can't believe it's been a month since I started the challenge.  It seemed like I started out slow but have gained a lot of ground.  My running times have really improved.  So much so that I entered a 5K in April at a race I used to attend annually.  I really think I will place in my age group especially with my continued training till April.  I'm very excited to be gettin' into race shape.  Races used to be "my" thing.  The one thing I was pretty good at and loved to do.  The thing I had that no one else did.  You ever have a "thing"?

Anyhow, I thought I would show you where all the workout magic takes place.  I like to call it my workout closet.



Really it's our spare bedroom.  But it's not much bigger than a closet!  There you have it, my treadmill, mat and there are some weights out of sight.

And this is my view when I'm running.  I usually stare at the wall.  Very boring.  I told the husband that a nice flat screen would fit perfectly where the hat is.  He agreed.  Then he could lay on the bed and watch TV while I run.  So sweet.




Are you ready to find out what kind of results I've had in my workout closet this month?  Drum roll......

I have lost 6 lbs and 7 1/4 inches so far!

Oh yea, I'm kicking butt!
