12-15-12 Month #11 Progress Report & Pics!

Friday was my 11 month PINK anniversary...and I got a VERY special anniversary present that morning....the scale finally showed a 100lb weight loss!!! My starting weight was 319.2. This morning the scale showed this:
That was pretty awesome! I had made a goal of reaching 100lb weight loss inside of a year....and I did it in 11 months! I still have a way to go.....but wow, I know I will get there! 2012 has been an amazing year. I went from being a morbidly obese woman that could barely walk from the fridge to the couch without breaking a sweat.....to the me that I am today, jogging 2 miles on the treadmill, running a 5k, eating healthy, being healthy! This is my 100lb comparison:
 
My next mini-goal.....to get to onederland! Less than 20lbs away....I can't wait!  Love PINK!!!!!

12-8-12 Finished my first 5k race today, it was AWESOME!

Well, I did it! Jogged/walked in my first 5k race today. A year ago I could barely walk from the house to the car....and that made me wheeze and cough and breathe heavy for a little while. Now, 11 months into the program....I just did a 5k. So close to 100lbs gone...and jogging! Unbelievable!

The coolest part was feeling like a participant in something instead of being a spectator. It was so special to feel like I was not going to watch from the sidelines, I actually participated! My hubby did this with me....and even though he could have ran faster and finished earlier, he didn't...he stayed with me...walked when I needed to and jogged at my pace. It was so awesome....really great feeling of accomplishment today!
