finally

137.4 this morning. I really hope to be 136 tomorrow so next week I can just move on already! Two more weeks of working THIS hard to get down only about 4 real pounds by the end is starting to get old.

I have a feeling that if I keep the running up after the challenge (and slow down on all the intense bootcamps and boxing, etc., that I will start losing a few more pounds as I become leaner... at least that's what I hope and what seems plausible.

I had a delicious smoothie this morning, filled with hidden spinach as is now my routine for the challenge.

I discovered that my recent volleyball injury (I damaged my pinky with a straight-on ball that bent it back by the nail) has turned into what is known as a mallet finger (an injury common in baseball, volleyball and basketball from getting hit on the tip of the finger), which means a permanent deformity unless I go see a doctor pronto... ugh. I guess I will have to go. grumble.

Aside from always pointing to my frustrations at not losing much weight at this point, blogging daily was a good choice for my "good habit". I always feel like I'm writing my posts in a mad rush though, giving little insight into what's actually going on in my weight loss world. I think it would be more productive to go back to noting down some of my meals and the types of exercise I do, at least to give tips to anyone reading, or even as a record for myself so I can go back and see what I did right and wrong.

I have to get going now, so have a vundahvul dzay pumpkins.
