Take It Off Monday – Hey Howdy Hey!

::waves hello::

Hey howdy hey, everyone.  I know it’s really been quiet for quite some time around these parts, but with my new job, I’ve been just swamped and exhausted when I get home at night.  In fact, other than mindlessly looking at Pinterest in the evenings, I hardly TOUCH the computer.  Okay, okay, maaaaaaybe I’ve been reading up on that crazy guy in Miami that ate a dude’s FACE…because I have to be ready for the zombie apocalypse, dontchaknow.

Anywho – I’ve been doing a bit of thinking about my journey with Medifast.  I asked a few of my MF buddies this weekend about it, and I’m not 100% sure where I’m going to go with it yet.  I’ve been maintaining for a year, but I’ve been thinking about losing just a little more weight – try and get down to 145.  I’m curious how I’d look and feel there.  Right now, I’m…comfortable?  I still need to tone because good gosh, these hips and my post-pregnancy belly is just not attractive.  But I really think that getting to 145 would be good with all of the running I’ve got worked out for the next few months.

This would mean that I’d need to go back to the 5&1 MF plan, and I’m not sure if that’s what I want to do right now.  It’s possible I’d go with 4&2 – but you know what?  I’ve noticed that while I’m at work I’m either NOT eating (because I am so incredibly swamped) or suddenly I have a handful of peanut butter filled pretzels that are decidedly unhealthy…but oh so delicious.

And having a Keurig coffee machine right next to my desk is both a god send and a bad idea all at the same time.

So – that’s been the thoughts swirling in the back of my mind the past week or so.  I just bought a TON of new summer and work clothes and I’m happy with the smaller sizes, but I’m still wondering if I can push myself just  a LITTLE bit more…

But I also need to remember to eat more of these:

…and less of these:

I also still need to get my running tracker on the right side of the blog updated – I am severely behind in trying to get it working correctly.
