Minus 50 pounds
Sunday, August 1st 2010
I can't think of a better way to end a month and start a new one than to reach a milestone in this journey!! Today I reached a goal of losing 50 pounds. It's just one goal out of many, but it feels really good to hit that 50 mark. My 10% goal is just a couple of pounds away, so I'm hoping that I'll hit that mark next week!! There are so many things that are easier with 50 less pounds on my body! I'm excited to see how things change and improve as I continue to lose! In addition to my 10% g...Emotional Roller Coaster

Well...this crazy ride continues! And sometimes I feel like I'm just hangin on for dear life!! It's been a week of milestones in my journey. I've officially lost 40 pounds!! Huge deal for me!! I'd already lost 17 before joining CK and have lost 23 since joining in May. And tonight I finished Week 4 of the c25k program! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that I'd be jogging! In fact, I was one of those people who, when they drove past someone else jogging, would shake my head in...Digging Deep

June 1st marked the third anniversary of my mom's death. She died at the age of 61 from alcoholic liver failure. She was only 17 years older than me.I've been really struggling this past month, not with weight loss, but with some issues I'm beginning to realize played a huge role in who I am today.
There is a part of me that misses mom like crazy. I would be so thankful to be able to talk with her again. There's a part of me that is very angry with her for dying, for allowing alcohol ...
Survey Results!
Thursday, June 24th 2010
It's been a rough few weeks. The state surveyors showed up at work last Wednesday and were there all day Wednesday and Thursday, then returned on Monday and Tuesday of this week. If it weren't for the fact that no one likes state surveyors I'd be tempted to sign up to be one, I'm thinkin' it must be pretty nice to have three day weekends every week and drive your very own state issued car. There were three surveyors that came and they each drove their own car - all the same model, just differ...C25K Here I Come!

Ok....I'm still in shock....today I actually finished the first day of the first week of the C25K program! I really did it! And it wasn't even THAT bad. I mean, my knees hurt a little bit. And I don't know if it's because of the extra weight that I'm still carrying around or if it's because I haven't jogged like that in YEARS or if it's because of arthritis or a combination of all three, but it's nothing that a little bit of Ibuprofen or Tylenol won't fix! Wow!! It feels soooo unbelievably...
