8 1/2 months out-208lbs--down 105lbs!
May 25, 2010
Its been awhile since my last post! Last week Michael and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary. We spent the weekend at the Gaylord National Hotel at the National Harbor and had an AMAZING weekend! Together we walked (and jogged a little!) our first 5K in 56 minutes. It was so great! Maybe next year I will be able to jog the whole thing! I think I will make that my goal. I have DEFINITELY hit a (temporary) plateau right now. It's a little scary, because I feel like 'omigod, that's it, I'm done losing weight!'--But I have been reassured that this happens and it is normal. Ironically, I FINALLY joined a gym almost 2 weeks ago and have been trying to go everyday! I am only doing the treadmill right now because that's what I am most comfortable with. In the beginning I started with 30 min at 3.5mph but now I am at 45min varying my incline (up to 10) and sporadically running here and there to increase my heart rate. It feels great!!! I met with a trainer, and she showed me all the other equipment in the gym so I look forward to working my way up to the weights and all the other different machines--I will admit its a little intimidating, but its fun! They also offer free classes and tonight (in a half hour!) I will be taking my very first yoga class! I am excited and nervous! I have always wanted to try yoga! So, that is all for now! Peace out!
