Long Overdue!

Well I should have written a week ago or so but I made it to 175 and the same day made it to 174.  That brings me to a total of 50 pounds lost!  WOW!  50 pounds!!  I can't believe I made it this far!  It's so easy for me to say YAY and be happy I'm here and give up and go back to my old habits.  But then I remember all of the reasons I started this journey.  I want to be healthy.  I want to live a long life!  I want to live a happy life and be able to chase my children!  I want so much better than what I set myself up for!

I am loving my life right now.  I have a great job and I have great friends that love me for me and encourage me to be a better person.  I have a great church that I have been given a desire to attend and to serve.  I have an amazing family FULL of support!  I am so blessed to be surrounded by such great people!

I am currently at 174 pound and I am 50 pounds away from my goal.  The first 50 took 8 months and the second 50 I plan to spread over a year.  I'm still losing about 1.5 pounds a week and that should continue through the end of the year with the exception of a few holidays :)  But my goal is to end the year in the 160's
My goal after that is to be 145 before I walk in May and to be 124 by my birthday next year!  That's not a whole lot that's and average of less than a pound a week!  I can do this!  I'm going to start running more and try to make a better time on my 5k next year and then train for a 10K and work my way up to a half marathon.

Well I think that's all for this update.  This evening of no sleep has managed to be productive :)  BTW a bunch of my friends are leaving Sunday to pedal their bikes to AUSTIN, TEXAS!!!!! Follow the blog of the riders @ www.ridetoaustin.com
