A huge accomplishment...
posted on 5/18/09 5:40 pm
I still can't believe it.  This week will be my eight months from surgery.  I am down 150 pounds, halfway to goal. Before I was wearing a tight 5x, now I am in a comfortable 2x.  I never knew it would be this great.

I also did a Five Mile Walk this weekend for the American Heart Association.  I had originally planned to do a 5K...but once there I just decided to "just do it" and kept going.  It took me almost three hours..but still, I walked FIVE MILES!  Last year I could barely walk and now I am doing a five mile walk??!!

This morning I did two miles on the treadmill.  When I first started I could barely do a half mile -- now I am doing two miles???

I just can't get over the change in my life. Now I just need to focus on keeping up the work and hitting goal.
