Well, I decided to share my progress today because I finally hit the 30 pounds lost as of this morning. When I started towards the middle of August, I was at 198. Today, I weighed in at 168, and I have dropped several sizes in clothing too. You know it's great progress when we have a cold spell in Florida and I have to find long pants to wear, but don't have a single pair that even comes close to fitting me! I donated all of the size 18's and went and bought a pair of size 12's for the first time in years. On top of that, today at the gym I completed my hour long spinning class, then decided to go try to push myself to see if I could finally run a mile, without stopping. When I started 3 months ago, I was walking at 3.0 mph, and forget running.... Today, I am proud to say I ran a mile at 5.0 mph, didn't stop, and completed it in exactly 12 minutes!
