Week Four

Today I weighed in at 247.6 lbs! I've lost eleven pounds so far, and I am so excited about it! That means that I've reached my first goal and I can get my ActiveLink actvity monitor!

This week I started training for a 5k. It hasn't been easy, but my boyfriend has been helping me to stay motivated and has been running with me. My measurements this week are 14.5 in. arms, 36 in. waist, 44 in. bust, 51.5 in. hips, and 30 in. thighs.

Week Three

Today I weighed in at 249.8 lbs. My measurements were 43 in. bust, 36.75 in. waist, 52.5 in. hips, and 29.5 in. thighs.

This week I have decided to start working towards running a 5K. I downloaded an app that will help me to reach that goal in eight to twelve weeks. Today I started out with six intervals of walking for one and a half minutes and running for one minute. When finished I had gone a mile and a half! I felt so proud afterwards, and I am looking forward to become a real runner.

So far I have lost 8.8 lbs. I am so proud of the work that I have done so far, but I also realize how far I still have to go. In the last couple of weeks I have realized that I made my goals too challenging to be attainable, and so I am adjusting them.
