47lbs later...

It's February 16, 2010. My little Owie is almost 10 months old. I gained 50lbs during my pregnancy and am 3 lbs away from what I weighed when I BECAME preggers... I actually have a NORMAL BMI of 24... and am on my way to toned.

These were my goals when I set out on this adventure of blogging. What an AMAZING feeling to have achieved or almost achieved them!

My latest goal set the last time I blogged was to begin training for the River Bank Run in May. Since then I've logged over 30 miles!!!!!

Just tonight I got home and really wanted to have a glass of wine and veg out on the couch after a full night of parent teacher conferences... But my body went through the motions of putting on my running clothes, my shoes, my hat, gloves, getting my nano, and walking out the door at 8:30pm. I thought I'd get in maybe 2 if I was lucky... but I just kept running and got in 3!!!

I think that SEEING the results has been fantastic too. I look better. One of my students even asked if I had lost weight and people at church have noticed... and well the fact that I am looking or starting to look very similar to what I used to look like is just fan-freaking-tabulous!

Happy Running!
