OK so I officially suck at blogging! I didn’t fall off the wagon. I am still loosing weight and learning to LIVE life everyday. I can’t even start to explain how much better I feel now. I am happier now than I have been in years! When I started on this journey to lose weight I no idea how dramatically it would affect all aspects of my life.

Officially I have lost 96 pounds, but it’s really around 105. When I first stepped on the scale in January it wouldn’t give me a number. It just showed a BIG RED “E”. Apparently the scale maxed out at 335 and the “E” means “get off me fat ass”. The first time I actually saw a number it said 332, so that’s the number I started with. I am happy where I am at now, but I still have about 50 to lose. I would love to be able to get to around 190 and maintain it +- 5lbs.

When I first started running I had no clue what it would mean for me. I started because that’s what you do to lose weight….right? I started out barely able to jog for a minute, but I stuck with the couch to 5k program and worked my way up to being able to jog for 30 minutes. Now I run because I enjoy it. Last week I ran 12 miles and never felt better. My cousin and I are training to run a marathon in October! The best part of marathon training….guilt free ice cream!!!
