212.5:) No wine and lots of running! So glad to be down 37.5 pounds, but shocked at how much farther I have to go. I know I can do it and I am doing it slow and steady, but it's just hard to think I have to lose the weight of Hayden Lee two more times!
On a more positive note, I ran the race course for the get Into Gear 10K today. 6.2 miles. It was slow, but I did it. My legs were like jello at the end of the course, but I never stopped. I am proud of myself.

Oh Happy Day!
Oh happy day! It's almost 60 degrees outside. I am sitting on the back patio surrounded by little patches of ice left over from winter. Almost all the snow has melted. We just got back from a fast walk around the lake with the kids. Daddy is cooking out on the grill. The kids are playing in the sand table. I am enjoying a piping hot cup of blueberry herbal tea. Life is fantastic!
Somewhere along this journey I stopped drinking pop. It wasn't a decision I made, it just happened. I was drinking so much water that there wasn't really room for the pop. I switched to tea because the water was too cold to drink in the winter. Tea is soothing and calms me when I am stressed.
I am feeling great. I went to my annual exam today and Dr. Johnson was very pleased with my results. She couldn't stop saying that I looked good. She said it five or six times, but who's counting?! At first she noticed my haircut. I think my face is thinner looking, but people tend to notice the haircut. Maybe they don't realize my face is thinner. That is okay. Dr. Johnson me how I feel and I told her I felt "great"! I also told her it's been easier to stay healthy with all my lifestyle changes. I told her when people are getting sick around me I have been okay. In the past if I looked at someone with a cold I would get bronchitis! I think it's the working out, the eating right and the supplements. So everything I am doing!
I am still on the 10mg of Lisinopril for my blood pressure. My numbers aren't good enough to get off of it at this point. She was going to put me on a higher dose, but didn't when she realized I really wanted to get off the meds and work towards that. So I will check back in with her in three months. I sure hope to be under 200 pounds by the next appointment!

I am Happier than I have been in a long time
My new lifestyle becomes more normal to me everyday. I feel fantastic and I think I look a lot better and happier!
I am still working out. I ran a lot over the weekend. I ran almost six miles two times. My knees hurt alittle, so I went on the elliptical today. Now I am a bit sore from that!
I am down 32.5 pounds! I am 217.5:) This is IT baby! I am doing it and I am doing it for life! Did I mention that I feel great?
