-25

I've hit the -25 pounds mark and it feels so good!  I'm not quite at my goal weight, but I predict in about 2 weeks I'll be there.  Finally all of this hard work is paying off.  I tried on a few pants that I couldn't fit into and I was able to pull them up and button them...and they weren't ridiculously tight!  I did a victory dance right there in my closet!

I haven't had much of an opportunity to run lately.  When I'm pushing the girls in the double stroller it's SO MUCH HARDER.  There is no way that I can run the whole 3 miles and when I do run it's so slow!  But I still do it because I know I'm burning calories and challenging my legs...and the girls enjoy it.  But yesterday evening, when Jacob was home, I ran. I was excited to be out by myself doing it.  I felt good, my breathing was good, my side never hurt.  I have 2 goals when I'm by myself...1) run the whole 3 miles, 2) increase my speed.  Guess what I did.........I ran the whole time and I beat my time by 3 minutes!  I ran 3.07 miles in 37 minutes.  I know that many of you might run this pace on a bad day.  But it makes me happy that I'm improving.  (and that I'm running again at all)
