Sunshiny Days! Everybody's smilin'!
I did it. As of today I am down 20.2 lbs. I cannot adjust my extrapounds start weight, but I actaully weight 234 at the beginning of my weight-loss on 4/1. That is why the picture looks like I have lost more that 15lbs.
I am so excited! Seriously. Now if I can just amintain that weightloss through Monday Weigh-in, I will be estatic. I have met my first mini-goal!
My second mini-goal is to be at 200lbs by August 7th. And then down to 198 by my half-marathon on the 12th.
Now is the time, historically speaking, that I would give up and revert to old ways. fall off of the wagon or even go WAY off of plan.
Well guess what my fellow sistahs in the battle - I am not gonna do it this time. I am chugging full ahead! *toot toot* (does little train-horn-blowing arm movement for emphasis)
So today I am at 213.8. I was expecting to be over the 214.6 I weighed in at yesterday. But nope! I ate on plan, and ran my 4miles. I did it!
Today is an off running day, so I will actually be resting my legs. They have been sore the past 3 runs, resulting in some walking. No issues though. I am getting stronger! And I am only waht, 50 days away from the Chicago Distance Classic? Awesome! I love my plan, I love that I am following my plan... and I love that I still am getting excited about this race (my 9th half) as if it was my first. *giggles* 
So tonight Mike and I are heading to the gyma fter work, where we will work on some strength training, then I really would like to hit the pool and get in some laps. Just for fun. I will see if Mike is willing to do that with me. I need some freestyle swimming help.
Why you ask? Oh.... just because. ;) for those of you who follow me on my running blog - http://13point1milejourney.blogspot.com - you are aware of my little secret.
I am a half-marathoner. Habitual even. Well as of 2008 I am adding two new titles to my fitness resume: TRIATHLETE, and DUATHLETE. ;) 
I have gained the confidence I was lacking, so I am taking my fitness to the next level. In May/June next year Mike and I will be doing a Duathlon together (run-bike-run), and I will also be completing 2 indoor and 3 sprint distance outdoor triathlons. (swim, bike, run)!
Oh yes you heard me! I am gonna be a triathlete. SWEEEEEEEEEEEET.
I hope that you all have had a wonderful week so far, and are looking forward to an active weekend! Get out there and move it, move it!
