I can't believe it's been sooo long since I've posted.  I havnt been on OH much for quite sometime but I do have some positive things to report.  As of today this year I have completed 2 half marathons, a 15k, 2 10k's, an 8k and numerous 5k as well as a sprint triathlon, yes me, I did it.  Excercise is a big part of my life now and I've learned to like running and most importantly I've learned to challenge myself, get out of my "comfort zone".  I havnt been doing much outdoor running this summer do to the intense heat & humidity we have here but I've been hitting the gym for cycling classes, power pump classes & I even did my first step class this morning which was a  NSV for me because I havnt done step since the 80's & was always intimidated to try, I did it but I need to practice some of the moves because I'm sort of clumsy.  I had a small fill 2 months ago but I think he could have put a tad more in.  I'm down to 195 but I've really toned up, I need to measure & check my body fat % again.  We went on vacation in June to Orlando & never once was I worried about fitting on rides which before band I would have never gone because I would have been miserable about myself.  I also got a really big complement in the gym the other day.  One of our beloved instructors is moving away, well I got to the gym a few minutes before class and was settng my gear up & went back out on the floor & this man walked up to me and asked me if I was taking the instructors place & I replied no but thought to myself I've really come a long way for someone to even say that so that made my day.  My biggest problem is my love for sweets especially at night so I've got to work on that.
