Before
After
What a difference 75 pounds makes!! That's not even the least flattering picture of me, but Sally has most of the really terrible looking ones! I've started running and (drumroll, please...) I've decided to run a half-marathon in April! It's not about finishing in a certain time, it's more just about actually finishing. I feel pretty much the same way about it as I have about my weight loss. I'm not putting a time table or expectations for perfection on either my weight loss or my running. I'm probably never going to think I look good in a bikini, but I at least don't have to count my rolls anymore!! (and I'm not talking about the kind with butter!) I don't run terribly fast. Over 7 miles (my farthest run to date) I run just under an 11 minute mile the whole way. I'm hoping to trim some more time over longer distances in the next couple of months of training. The funny thing about the running is that it actually stalls out my weight loss a little because of the muscle/fat exchange. Anyway, just wanted to update everyone on the current state of my midsection!! LOL!
