Quick Journey Update

Just checking in to let you know the progress I've made with my personal weight loss/exercise/getting healthy journey. To date, I have lost 82 pounds, 55 inches, 11% of my body fat.  I have gone down 7 sizes in clothes. I have run 3 5Ks and am training for my 2nd 10K. I have gained a lot of self confidence, made lots of new friends, and have become so much more self aware than ever before. I am LOVING Zumba class at Curves and am 2 days away from being finished with the 30-Day Shred video (I've gotten up every morning to do the workout before I accomplish anything else for the day- and I haven't skipped once!). I love finding new ways to get exercise, lose weight, become more healthy and to get my family more active.  I am very close (3 pounds away) to not being considered "obese" anymore. And I am about 8 pounds away from having lost the equivalent to what my 2 kids weigh put together.  I am currently the same weight I was as a junior in college. And I intend to get down to my freshman year of high school weight. Once I lose 3% more body fat, I will be in the "acceptable range." So many goals... so little time! :) I couldn't be happier with my progress. I have long range plans and will hopefully be ready for the "maintenance phase" by fall! Only 33-38 pounds more to lose total! It will feel good to be totally comfortable with my weight once again- a feeling I haven't had since junior year of high school! Thanks for your continued compliments, encouragement and support. I couldn't do it without you! Next on the "to do list"... off to find a swimsuit for our spring break visit to Great Wolf Lodge! YAY!
