Road to Weight Loss: Re-Start

I used to keep track of my weight loss on here, and I know it helped me to see the numbers laid out. A friend of mind recently has made herself start blogging about her weight loss in order to hold herself more accountable. Following in her keystrokes, I'm going to get back to doing the same.

So here is an update from last March:


Start Weight           197.2
@ Dr Yesterday  - 186.2
Difference             11 (5.58% down from the start)



Last Posted Weight    189.6
@ Dr Yesterday      - 186.2
Difference                      3.4


I have to admit, it's a tad depressing to only see a 3.4 pound difference from over a year ago. However, from a year ago I've dropped lots of inches. I'll have to check with my trainer to be sure, but I know the number is pretty high. I'm also down from wearing a 12/14 to a 10. A size 12 in pretty much anything is big on me. Which is really nice. I may not have seen the scale move that much, but size wise I've definitely gone down.

A three year look at my weight loss!

I recently did a 15K walk around Lake Arrowhead. I hung back with my friend for most of it, so it was a fairly easy walk (despite my cold). But I bumped up my pace at the end, and totally loved it. We're considering this obstacle course/mud run next month. I'm also considering going for some 1/2 marathons. So the training I was doing for that walk, I'll be keeping up to get ready/stay in shape for those. I know that if I keep my cardio stepped up, I'll start dropping more pounds. Which isn't all that important to me if I keep loosing inches, but it would be nice to look at the Body Mass Index chart and not be at the high end of the overweight section. Yeah, I know...looking at me most people wouldn't except that, but that's where I'm resting. At least I'm out of the obese section like I was a year ago. Small victory I guess?!

Anyway, in more fun news, the more official timeline from the man as to our engagement is now "sometime with in 3 months". That was given to me nearly a month ago, so we're looking at somewhere in roughly the next 2 months. SO FREAKING EXCITING!!! I've already begun a little planning, like looking at photographers/venues/etc when friends post links about wedding related vendors. So between school going well (been getting straight A's, oh yeah) and that, I'm one super happy camper these days. Life truly is good!

OK, I've rambled enough for now. I'll bid you adieu and get back work. Going to Lake Havasu this weekend. Can't wait! :o)
