Just wanted to check in with some of you concerning my weight loss. I started this journey 166 days ago on Nov. 9, 20009. And I have only missed 17 days. I like that. It has been wonderful, miserable, easy, hard, fun, depressing, rewarding, and incredible. I started this new life style in hopes of just loosing all kinds of weight. I have lost 13-14 lbs. to date. I started off weighing 172. So sad. And now I am in the 150's. I have learned so much in the past 5 1/2 months. Things like:
I really enjoy working out
I can run....
I hate to miss a day
I have endurance
I have ankles now
I can see parts of me I like
I really like myself
I could probably keep going but will save some for another time. I used to tease my sister who is a size 2 soaking wet. That she was jealous of me being a size 1-2. but my numbers were together as 12:( We would all laugh. but I really wasn't happy being the chubby girl. I have a long way to go, but I AM GETTING THERE. And for me that is what counts right now. I am OK with it taking me a while. Because I no that I am sticking to it this time. I am working hard, and enjoying the fruit of my labor. And the fruit is that I have lost almost 3 inches in my waist. Inches all over my body, and I just feel so good. I don't have to take a nap to make it through the day anymore. And the cloud of depression that liked to follow me is not there as many days. I like to push myself to do new things. I am challenging myself and it feels good. I sure hope no one takes this as bragging. that is not my heart at all. Just want to let you all in on how I am doing on this life long journey. And if you are wondering if I have ever fallen off the wagon? The answer is yes. But I get right back on. Sure hope this encourages some one to get moving:))

You go girl! You really inspire me.
I've been working out a lot more lately too! The other day I came to the realization that I used to say to myself "I'm just not a runner" and it was such a mental block, because the truth is I like to run now (no super long distances yet, but a mile or two;).
Hey lady! That is awesome! I just started working out the other night and i actually liked it. I have a very long way to go. I am so glad you posted this. Maybe if I blog about it too, it will help me stay motivated. You go girl!
Before you all think that the deleted comment was juicy....it was NOT. My friend was over jumped on my computer and left me a comment. Only I was logged in. So it looked like I was telling myself good job:)) She deleted it.
Crystal THANKS:)) i am enjoying the ride and telling others how great it really is.

Vicki!!!! You truly are a changed woman! Wowsers!!! I can't wait to see you...you'll be just a fraction of yourself. When are you coming up here?!
Good job Vicki! Very inspirational post. I was wondering how much weight or inches you had lost.
I <3 running but haven't been for quite some time...but I think you just inspired me to put those new running shoes I got a few months ago--BACK ON! ;-)
Wow! I am so impressed! You go, girl! I'm so proud of you. What's your diet like?
