Earth Day 5K with Milestones

So today was supposed to be my first ever 5K race but a few weeks back I decided to do the Scope it Out with my friends but I was still signed up for todays and it was AWESOME!  First I made a goal for myself to weight 175 by race day! Because of course I could run a race at 175lbs! LOL  Well earlier this week I didn't think I would make it as I was doing not so great :(  Well I DID! YAY!!  The scale was 175.6 this morning! WOOHOO!! 

Go to the 5K and found out there were hills :(  UGH I was not looking forward to this!  It was downhill at the start so that meant uphill at the end! SUCKY SUCK SUCK!!!  BUT, I did pretty good.  Could have done better but am VERY happy with my time of 36:17!! WOOHOO  Thats 1:40 better then the last race where there were NO hills! LOL

All in all it's been a GREAT day and the only thing that could have made it better was if my "real" family (because of course Mark and Sarah are Family) were here but they are having an enjoyable day in NY!

What a difference a year makes!

I was looking back at pictures of myself at Easter in 2010 while still in HI!  I knew I had really started to put weight on but it really didn't hit me until about 7 months ago when I was referred for WLS and then it was like, OMFG I AM FAT!!!  So anyways, the pictures of me at Easter last year and the picture of me Easter this year are a Crazy difference but a GOOD one!!!!

5 months

Well my 5 month mark has come and gone but dang I've been so busy!!  As of this morning (not my "official" weigh in) I was about 176!! WOOHOO!!  I'm wearing size 14 pants (but they are getting bigger and bigger!!) and still a Large top (think I might stay there).  I am as happy as happy can be with how everything has gone but now I just want to work more and more on my physical fitness!  I'm still doing 5Ks here and there and the other day I ran a 2 mile to see what my time was!  (23 mins) Shane and Paxton are here visiting this week so I had Shane take some pictures of me for my 5 month mark and I can't help be go back and forth from my before to nows and I'm still in awe that I really have changed so much!!!!

Goal Size

I have had in my mind all along that I wanted to have my goal size be a size 14.  I have been a size 14 in my adult life before and I think that is an okay size.  It's a very NORMAL size for woman!  Well, I'm there!!  I bought my first pair of 14 jeans last night and they fit but I noticed after about 2 hours of having them on, they are getting loose really quick while wearing them!  I brain is finaly starting to wrap around the idea that I just might end up a smaller size!!  I still have about 30+ pounds to loose to hit goal weight so I am betting I will end up smaller then a 14! WOOHOO!  It's just such an Awesome feeling!
