Progress Report

Remember getting those in grade school? I do. I liked them :)

Today I am excited about several things related to my weight loss. I wanted to share them on here because sometimes I feel like just telling everyone I talk to about my weight loss either makes them bored or makes them frustrated with their own struggles. But on here, I feel like I'm free to say these things and will receive support.

#1. Today I realized that I am using the last notch on my belt... as in the tightest one!

#2. As of this morning, I have 4.8 lbs. to lose to reach my goal!

#3. On Wednesday, I zipped up a pair of size 8 jeans. The last time I did that was... wait a second, I don't ever remember wearing that size. Seriously... EVER!

#4. This brings my grand total of weight loss since coming to Seminary to: 29.6 lbs.

Thanks for sharing in this journey with me. It's tough to lose weight, but it helps me so much to know I have support and encouragement from all of you!

Tomorrow is the Ft. Worth Zoo Run. I will be doing the timed 10K.
Time to beat: 68' 52" from last year's Cowtown.
My goal: 65'
I think that equals out to be about 10' 30" miles, which is what I ran in the Cowtown half. So, honestly, I hope I can do a little better than that, but I don't want to set my goal too high and not feel like I made progress. 65 minutes will be great! Plus I'm about 17 lbs. less than when I ran this race last year. I'm thinking that will be a significant factor in shaving off time. I'll try to make sure to get some pictures and let you know how I've done! To life... full of achieving your goals!
