45 pounds lighter.

Yesterday, I stepped on the scale for the first time in almost a year. I knew that I had lost some weight, but I did not know how much I weighed. I don't typically weight myself on a regular basis for I have learned that the number on the scale doesn't mean anything. I base on losing weight on how I feel and how my clothes fit. On Wednesday, I put on a pair of pants that I put on back in July, and they were too tight that I couldn't wear them. I put them on Wednesday, and they fit, and felt a little lose. I have been exercising more and not eating as much.

From the last time back in November until Wednesday, I have lost around 15 more pounds and kept it off. Right now I am the smallest I have been since my freshmen year of college. I am about 15 pounds from one of my goals, and then about 50 pounds from my overall goal. From November 2011, I have lost a total of 45 pounds and kept it off (which is amazing to me). Since I don't weigh on a regular basis, I could have lost more, but the weight from November 2011 is what I have to go off of.

Some goals that I am waiting to accomplish here soon:
  • Run a mile in 12 minutes. I just started walking, and I can walk a mile in 22 minutes with a 3 year old coming with me.
  • By next summer, I want to participate in a 5K.

Thank everyone who has given me encouragement. Even telling me that I look like I am losing is an encourage for me.

Peaceful and Happy Thoughts,
--Rue.
