The skinny on getting skinny.

I have finally find some motivation to get serious about losing what's left of the baby weight plus some.  Jon, being the nice guy that he is, is offering me some extra incentives to help keep me pumped and on track.  We decided that for every 10 pounds I lose I get something.  We've already decided that I will finally get a new wall mounted microwave after I drop the first ten since the microwave we have now I have been wanting to get rid of since the day we go it- three years ago.  Only five more pounds to go before I can give the ginormous big brown counter space wasting box the boot!  As for mile mark 20 I am still undecided as to what I want.  For mile marker 30 I am thinking a shopping spree.  Then again, if I actually get to mile marker 30 I don't honestly think I will need a shopping spree since clothes that I haven't worn in years might actually fit again.  It'll be like Christmas if I can bust open the bins chock- full of clothes that I haven't been able to wear since our first year of marriage and prior. 

In addition to those incentives, I might also sign up for the Ogden half marathon again.  I signed up for it last year and then found out I was pregnant about a month later.  I certainly wouldn't want the $80 dollar registration fee to go to waste, so I'd hope I would be motivated to keep up the running and continue to lose and get into better shape.  And I still find it funny that we pay organizations large chunks of money to do something we could easily do on our own.  I am sure my husband will die when I ask him if I can spend $80 bucks so I can run 13.1 miles.  We'll see.  Maybe he'll want to do a run with me, that'd be fun. 

Wish us luck, we need it, as none of our current clothes are fitting so well these days.
