- 35.2 and counting...

Well ladies and gents, I have officially lost 35.2 lbs. YAY! I can't wait to hit 40 then 50 then eventually 100!! Oh yes I can do this! I have been inspired by my friend Cheryl. On her blog she listed some goals she has and also posted a before picture. Well... I figured it's time. I took a before picture tonight. Yes, I am aware that it is not a true before picture, but better to start here than not do it at all. I had some reservations about posting this here then I realized, most of you see me every day just like I am so what's the big deal?

So here they are:

I had actually just got back from a jog. Changed shirts though! 

Yikes! This one is scary!

Please ignore the slightly disheveled look of our room. I cropped out the machine gun in the corner on TJ's side of the bed so not to freak anyone out :)! I am actually happy with how I currently look! It has taken a lot of work to just get to this point! It also makes me excited to keep going. I know I can do this now and I just need to keep momentum! I jogged this evening at Mitch Park here in Edmond. Can I just tell you outside vs. treadmill are two VERY different types of run! I nearly died and I got lost on the trail and I was afraid I would have to call for a rescue! I couldn't run it all, but I want to keep trying outside and see how far I can get without stopping. 

Here are the goals I want to set for myself. I have much larger ultimate goals, but it is better to do this a little bit at a time. 

1. Run/Jog a 5K! No Walking! 

2. Limit my soda intake to 1 a day. I am too addicted to quit cold turkey!

3. Drop 1 more jean size by Christmas. I can do this. My current jeans are a tiny bit baggy in the butt! :)

4. Continue to run 3 times a week. Even after the Race for the Cure Oct. 15th.

5. Get better at tracking my Weight Watchers points. I have no excuse not to! There is an app for that! 

These are my goals to get me through the rest of the year. They are all attainable and I believe I can do them all. I will reassess after the first of the year and come up with a new set of goals! So wish me luck! :)

On a side note: I would really like to get tinsel extensions like the Beverly Hills Housewives. Do you all think I could pull this look off in Oklahoma or should I save it for a vacation? :) 

Until next time,

Leigha
