Regaining energy!

I was 224.0 on my birthday yesterday! I am down 26 pounds since November. I have 75 to go and I will do this. Ran/walked 4.65 miles today. I feel strong and happy. I am regaining energy. I am enjoying playing "hide and seek", "tag", and "airplane rides" with the kids. Did I mention my energy is back? I am so stoked about that!

Down 25 pounds!

225 pounds! Down 25 from 11/03/2008:) Woo freaking woo! 75 pounds to reach my 150 pound goal weight. Off to bed to read a health magazine. I have subscribed to every magazine about healthy lifestyles that I can get my hands on!

Day 17...I am proud of myself:)

Day 17...I am so proud of this New Year's resolution. I am doing it and I feel great. The high I get from working out far outways any feeling I ever got from a glass or two of wine. Why did it take me so long to realize this? I guess it was hard to ignore when my weight and choices began to affect my blood pressure. yesterday it was amazing. 111/55:) so something is definitely working. It is probably a combo of everything I am doing...the running, not drinking, not adding salt, ect...

Addicted to exercise?

Day fifteen of my New Year's resolution:) I think I am addicted to exercise! I love to exercise. It gives me a HUGE natural high that I never got from wine. I feel fantastic! I am down 24 pounds since November 3rd:) Now if my belly fat would disapear overnight I'd be extremely happy! it took years of unhealthy habits to put it on, so what do I expect? Goodnight. off to read a health magazine before going to sleep.

Woo Freaking Woo!

Woo freaking woo! I am down 23.5 pounds! I am doing this and (so far) it's easier than I thought it would be. I ran 4.23 miles yesterday and 4.39 miles today. I hope the weight just melts off for awhile. Day ten without wine. I am down seven pounds this week:) My blood pressure was 111/70 after running this morning, of course with meds. Not too shabby though! I am on my way to better health!

OOPS...gone for awhile, but I am back!

Oops. eight days back on course! Things went astray the last few weeks of December:( Too much eating, drinking and NOT working out. What was I thinking? I quit drinking as my New Year's resolution this year. I quit smoking New Years 2001 and stuck with it. I will keep this resolution as well!

I weigh 230.5 pounds. I have started back on the running and feel pretty good. I signed up for a 10K with my sister Jenn and a few friends from work. It's at the end of April. Now if that doesn't motivate me, I don't know what will! I have to do this. I am down 20 pounds from 11/03/2008, so not too shabby, BUT I am sick of seeing myself after I get out of the shower. Yuck. I am embarrassed. I do not want to be the fat mom anymore:( We do not even let our kids say that word (fat). I wish I could fast forward and be thin, but then how could I be proud of that? I am working towards this goal, one day at a time.
