Getting Serious

Sometimes I wonder why I start these things, I am horrible at journaling... always have been.  I keep telling myself though that I want to be an inspiration to someone out there who might happen upon this and say, if she can, so can I.  So... since I last posted, I am down 7 more lbs and am now training for a 10k.  I still am looking forward to my second 1/2 marathon in July sometime too.  It has been a hard month though.  I was at a plateau for almost 2 months and I finally broke it this weekend!  I hope I can continue on this path for a while, still average 1 -2 lbs a week and look to the finish. 

As of now, I am down 67 lbs, with an ultimate goal of 47 more to go.  Really though, I want to be in a size 10.  I don't think I have seen that weight or size since Jr. High so it might be much, but I will just keep working.  I find it does get easier as I go, more of a habit than anything.  That is when I know it is working.  I wanted a life change, not just a diet.  Just keep telling yourself that even through the tough months and you will get there too.
