Yesterday I stood on the scale and finally the number I have been waiting for....182!! That may still sound high but that is 50 pounds less than when I started this crazy journey. I was so excited and in shock. I think the shock is because I really did not know if I would ever really reach this point. I wanted to but so many times I have tried weight lose and failed....this time it was for real. I am loosing slowly and in a healthy way! With this mile stone reached it is time to set another goal.....hmmm well according to the doctors chart I should be like 140...please that seems crazy to me (at least at this point!) so I am thinking that if I can get down another 20 pounds to 160-162ish I would be happy. That would be a few sizes smaller and hopefully work off my targeted area my stomach. So we shall see but, I am letting the world know that the next goal is to weigh in at 162LBS!!
Well my next crazy adventure is the Chicago 1/2 Marathon. I have my running plan and so far- only one week into it I am sticking with it. My main goal is to just run this plan and then I am praying I can finish the 1/2 marathon. This plan has me running between 16-20 miles a week up until race day on Sunday September 11th! I am hoping that if I continue my crazy workout schedule and add this much running the inches and weight will melt away :-) We will see....I will really have to keep my eating on track for that to happen (which I have been doing very well with writing down everything I am eating!). I plan to blog each Sunday- this is the day of my long runs! Last Sunday I ran 7.25mils...and maintained my 13 min pace...not to shabby. So my only goal here is to finish and maintain a 12 min pace for official race day!!
