Just another day in cold Wyoming paradise! I ate my DELICIOUS rolled oats and strawberries and bananas this morning. And I added some Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Chips. They are 5 calories per chip, and they are pretty BIG chips, so I added a nice healthy 10 (50 cals total) and BOY was it yum! I would put a picture here of what it looked like, but I got too excited and ate it before I couldn't even break out the camera.
The scale hasn't really been moving much at all lately. And I'm weirdly cool with that (even though I really want to kick some ass in this DietBet thing). I've had some NSV's (Non-Scale Victories) this past week that remind me that my body is changing for the GOOD and its really motivating me to keep working hard.
NSV #1:
I know this sounds so silly, but my first NSV came when I went to see my best friend last week in North Carolina. I walked into her house and she said, "Wow! You're shrinking!" I was smooth about receiving the compliment... "Oh yeah.. thanks.." But what I really wanted to do was jump on her couch and scream You notice this shit?! Hell yeah! Look how great my ass looks! But I didn't. She condones couch jumping. And I didn't want to be all full of myself.
NSV #2:
This sounds even sillier. I am finally starting to develop a baby thigh gap.
What's a thigh gap? It's a phenomenon that occurs when you're inner thighs are so toned and/or skinny that they don't smush together when your standing up straight. Now, let me clarify this for a hot minute: I am not trying to get the "anorexic-stick skinny" thigh gap. I want that "sexy runner legs" thigh gap. To be honest, my thighs are probably my biggest motivation for running. It's why I started running. I started looking around and all these hot runner chicks and noticing that none of them had tree trunk thighs like I did. Coincidence? Nope. Every time I check myself out in the mirror, I notice that my legs are getting more and more toned. And a tiny little baby gap is being born between my thighs.

| Me, at my heaviest weigh. I was on vacation here with the boyfriend and his family. We were in Central America for almost 3 weeks and I literally gained around 5-8 lbs during the trip. I ate everything I could, drank often, and thought that walking from the pool to the bar was all the cardio I needed. |

| Me, yesterday. Am I perhaps standing with my legs wide apart to try to make my thigh gap more pronounced? Maybe. I'll never tell. |
So, uhh, high five to Healthy Little Me. Even though those numbers are at a stand still, some great change is happening in this body and I'm pretty excited about it.
I wanted to put together a list of the blogs that I follow. Because, hell, some of you might want in on the action too. Most, if not all, of these blogs are fitness/weight loss/running associated. And there's nothing I love more than sitting down with a black cup of coffee in the morning and reading through the Blog Roll each morning.
