Moooove over milk...

Crashed Out

My dog resting peacefully after a 5.43 mile walk/run (1hr and 10 mins) & a nice warm bath.

Crossing the 200lb threshold

I'm really excited. This is the last 'Goal Setter' I'll be setting where I am beginning *over* 200lbs. From here on out, my starting weight will start with a 1, instead of a 2. Eeeee! :)

However, now that I'm lighter, I notice that Goal Setter has reduced my weight loss per week. It used to be higher but I can live with that since my calories are also going to be higher. I'm used to eating in the 1300 - 1400 cal range daily, so 1674 is going to be awesome!

I entered, will you?

Naomi over @ OneFitFoodie is having her very first giveaway! She's giving away a lot of Annie's Naturals loot and other cool stuff. Head on over before Tuesday October 6th at 10PM. Good Luck!

(See, I told you I began this blog just for the giveaways! LOL)

Welcome!

Welcome both of us to my new blog. Let me tell you an eensy weeny bit about myself. Since May 2oo9 I've been on a mission to:

1. Live my best life (Thanks, Oprah, for summing that up quite succinctly for me)
2. Lose enough weight to run comfortably
   
3. Train for a half marathon
4. Lose the rest of the weight

I started out a hefty 262 pounds on my 5' 6" frame, and as of *this* morning I am 201.6 pounds. Eeeee!! :) I'm very close to crossing that "under 200" mark and am excited!

As for the running, to date I have run almost 70 miles. I'm currently following Coolrunning.com's Couch to 5k running program to get me started on my training for a half marathon. Yesterday, I ran 20 minutes in a row for the first time in 5 years!

But, the real reason I started this blog is so I can enter all the giveaways other bloggers have! What, you think I'm kidding? lol.

So, HELLO. Nice to meet you!
