President's Day Monday weigh-in

Good morning, all!  I hope you are having a good day, and had a great weekend.  Mine certainly turned out better than last week.  I think my mileage is finally catching up with the scale--about time, too.  I ran 22.7 miles total last week, and I've already done 10+ miles this week.  It's feeling surprisingly good, so hopefully my fitness is really improving.  After 7+ miles this morning, I felt like I could have kept going.  Maybe a half-marathon is not quite as crazy as it sounds for this former couch potato.

This week's stats:

Starting weight: 298.4 lbs
Last week: 143.0 lbs
This week: 137.7
Loss of 5.3 lbs, WOOT!

Now I'm back to where I'd like to stay, so here's hoping I can keep maintaining.

Don't forget about our team for the Obesity Challenge 5K in April!  Doesn't matter how fast or slow you walk or run--the good news is that everybody who moves their body for 5K burns pretty much the same number of calories, regardless of speed.  So go ahead and sign up--we will have a blast!

That's awesome, Renea! 

I was down 1.8 this week.  Not bad considering I have been dealing with Valentine's chocolate and Girl Scout cookies!

I've got about 7 pounds to go before I am merely overweight- my next goal.  :)

Super job, Kim!  You are doing great.

Did you find any bargains at Savers today?

Thanks!  Yes, I found 2 pairs of jeans (nice enough that I can wear to work), a pair of Talbots dress pants, 2 tops, and a bunch of tanks/camis for $33!  :)  Plus I unloaded a bunch of donations too- all around good trip.

Renae, you never cease to amaze me.  But you definitely deserve every success you get.  All that running is amazing.  Good for you!  Happy for you!  Keep it up.

Hey Julie, long time no see!  Are you coming to coffee sometime soon?  We miss you!

You should walk with us in our April walk/run.  It will be a fun day!
