-5 more lbs AND under 200lbs!!!

That's down 16 total pounds since starting WW in January and 23 since the beginning of the school year when I was at 220. DAMN it feels good!!!!!

This morning was a good weight in morning. Thanks, mostly, to this ultra-fabulous sinus infection I have.

At the bottom it does say that I'm losing weight too fast...but I know it was the sickness that helped me this week. Also, on 2/20 I started the Metformin which is the drug that is helping my body process carbs regularly. That was the last green dot on the graph. Every week since then, I have lost 2 or more pounds. I'd certainly like to think that is more than a coincidence.

I heart this visual :)

It feels SSSOOO good to be under 200 for the first time in, oh, who knows. Probably a year!!! And...I have not worn these pants in almost a year and today...

I did!!! Super pumped because I have lots of clothes that have been sitting at the top of my closet just waiting to be re-worn.

I know there will be a time when it plateau's and things get hard (but really, like it isn't already hard!!!) and it won't be this exciting so I'm going to revel in it and enjoy this ride.

On one of my other blogs I've started a "30 before 30" which is 30 things I want to do before I turn 30 - which is in 369 days! 10 of the things are "good for the body" and one of them is to workout for 30 minutes, 4 days per week which equals out to 204 days. Geesh.... A feat that I've only been able to do for a few weeks but I AM WORTH IT!!!!

walking around the block...

...literally.

I live in the house where that little A is, on A Street as a matter of fact. I don't always feel like driving to the gym on the weekends which is about 10 or so miles from my house. Though as I'm typing this I realized that I was next door to my gym at Kohl's on Sunday...haha.
Anyways, a few weeks ago I had the thought that if I knew how far I was walking I might be more apt to do it. So I jumped into my Jeep and did a little odometer reading of this city block. So from my house going west, turn right onto 32nd, and then left onto B continuing around in a rectangle. The whole big rectangle is .9 miles around.

I figure on Sunday I did about 2 1/2 laps. On the first lap I took a short cut through the middle of the rectangle because one of my friends/coworkers was in the dog park parking lot and I wanted to say HI. It took me 39 minutes {yes, I timed myself}. I ran maybe 3/4 of a mile. See, on one of my other blogs {the family one}, I have this thing going called 30 before 30. One of my tasks I want to run a 5K before I turn 30 on March 16, 2013! I figure this is a good place to start "training" because I'll never be more than a half mile from home, you know, in case I need to crawl back there!! I also really like this walking/running/training route because it is in a very high traffic - safety first!

What type of AT HOME GYM activities do you do? DVDs? P90X? Wii or Kinect? Walking? I'd love to hear your ideas!!

Here's to hoping my walking streak turns into a running streak...

Fingers crossed.
