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:
- Live my best life (Thanks, Oprah, for summing that up quite succinctly for me)
- Lose enough weight to run comfortably
- Train for a half marathon
- 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!
