When I stepped on the scale yesterday morning it said 219.2. That means I have said goodbye to 5 "decades" of weight. And that I'm down 45.3 pounds. It's starting to get real that I really have lost this weight.
I still have a long way to go. 65 pounds, to be exact. But I'm looking ahead. I'm looking ahead to when I've lost another 4.7 lbs. I'll have hit the 50 lb mark. Still 60 to go, but you know, 50 pounds is a pretty decent start, I'd say.
It was a cool day today in Denver so I wore jeans and a shirt. My "skinny" (the cut of the jeans, NOT my skinny jeans) jeans are now way too big. It was a pain in the butt to be out and about always pulling up my pants. Unfortunately, the next size down is still too small.
I have my first of 3 5Ks this month coming up Saturday night. I'm not prepared in that "I need to run 3.1. miles" way, I'm more in the "I'm going to walk this with some running thrown in there here and there". Besides, they're all fun runs. FUN runs. (And trust me, I'm nowhere near that part where I wake up and think - "you know what would be FUN today? A run!"). Even the 10K that I signed up for in November is a fun run. And I get pumpkin pie at the end. Dude, I would easily travel 6 miles for a piece of pumpkin pie. My training for the half marathon starts in less than a month. I'm about to get really active.
Like I said, it's starting to get real!
