One pound at a time
Mar 08, 2009
Well, I have decided that one pound at a time is going to have to be OK with me. I don't like it, but will take it. I have increased my exercise the past 2 weeks and hopefully, that is the kick in the pants that my metabolism needs. I am signed up to do a 5K in May. What???? Never would I think that I could run a 5K. I am up to about a mile and a half on the tread mill and even ran outside (in public!!) the other night. It felt pretty good, have to learn to pace myself. I ran for about 20 min, came back to the house all red in the face and think I had an asthma attack, (I don't have asthma!) but I felt so damn proud of myself. Turning 40 this year, being in better shape that I have been most of my adult life and being under the weight I was when I got pregnant feels pretty darn good. I have been buying some spring clothing, size 12 pants and medium to large tops! Wow. I have purged my closets and have been giving away my fat girl clothing. I am giving my clothing to 3 of my patients that I take care of. I am only keeping one pair of jeans to prove how big I once was. Never agian folks. You guys out there keep me motivated and show me how it is done. Thanks for all the inspiration. A
