22.5

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!

I jogged today for 22.5 minutes. I'm not sure how fast I was going because the treadmill said 7.7 miles/hr, but that I was doing a km in 7.7 minutes which cannot be right. I t may have been a super slow jog at a speed walking pace, but I was jogging the whole time, so I'll take it.

Weight is up today to 188. Was 184 last week, but after my binge on Saturday night and huge Friday lunch and getting my hair braided,l I'm not sure what's my true weight. Will just go with the scale on Wednesday AM and be happy I'm still below 190.

Thanks djsteveboy creator of Podrunner. The best way to workout there is.

Is it really mid June already?

WOW!
I can't believe it's been soooooo long since my last post. I've been intending to post some pictures from my trip to Barcelona and some of my latest stats for weeks.
At the center of my thoughts right now is my purse with my wallet, camera and checkbook in it. It's not with me. It's hopefully at the library, but since they were closed when I realized it was missing and won't open for 4 more hours at 10 AM, I'm currently in that wonderful world of uncertainty. I know the MPs don't have it, checked last night. I know that God is protecting me since I still have all my keys and my ID to get on/of post! My stomach and GI tract on the other hand don't seem to care and I think I've lost 2 pounds since last night.

Purposefully focusing on something else, let me share some of my good health news.
As of yesterday I weigh 186 pounds. That's 1 pound over my mini-goal of 185 by the first day of summer (calendar day). It means I've lost 41 pounds in 20 weeks. Averaging 2.05 lbs a week despite vacations and temporary plateaus. 3.5 pounds in one week was a big jump, but it may be because I ate more.

NSVs abound:
  • I've been jogging on the treadmill. Did 20 minutes last week. Broken up, but still 20 minutes.
  • I'm getting rid of clothes left and right, including some I bought this spring.
  • I had tons of energy in Barcelona and didn't really hurt despite all the walking we did.
  • Have inspired others to join weight watchers and do something about their own weight.

Here are a couple of photos from Barcelona. Will post more pictures when I find my purse and camera!

Measurements:

Chest (below bust): 34 3/4 inches Bust: 40 3/4 inches
