I have reached a new low....

LOL... I finally saw a number below 175 on the scale today!! 174.8... yay. This is so exciting for me because I have been trying to get below that mark for what seems like forever. The last time I was 175 was in 2003 for my wedding. 

Losing the weight is more than looking good. It's being good to my body, being healthy and, to be honest, it's about being faster on the bike. It really started out with me being unhappy with how I looked and felt and I have gotten to a point where I am comfortable in my own skin 90% of the time. My confidence is at an all time high. (There is more to that than just losing weight though) Now that I have my sights on IMLP, I am trying to get even more focused on weight loss because that equals less that I have to carry around during the swim, bike and run. Less stress on the joints and faster times. 

I should also say that I have a new HIGH.... I did a 6 mile run last Sunday... It was awesome. I think I shed a tear at the end. I had to take 2 potty breaks, but there were NO walk breaks. I just kept moving. I kept telling myself, get to mile X and you can walk, okay, go just a little further... It was great!! It was a beautiful day for a run and the stars must have been aligned just right...lol.

I am still having the left leg issue... we will call it the "leg" because at any given time it can be the hip, the knee or the ankle. It can be all at the same time or individually.... today, it's all 3. Swim is on the books for today, so I hope that will help. I am praying Dan does not try to kill me today =) 

Gotta Run... XXOO
