When Did I Start To Like Exercise???

As of Monday, I am now 254 lbs. I lost another 2 lbs bringing my total to 62.4 lbs.

It hit me this week that I am only 19 lbs from my original goal of 235 lbs. I had hoped to hit this weight by March 12, 2007 on my one year anniversary of my diet. I am now realizing that I am going to hit, or surpass, this goal well before the one year anniversary. I hope to hit my goal of 235 by October 1st. I am not going to look around, smell the roses, and celebrate; I am going to keep going and try to get to around 220 by Christmas. To think, close to 100 lbs is possible by the end of the year. Goals are meant to be met, otherwise, they are just dreams.

When did I start to like exercising? We are now 2 1/2 weeks into Fitness Boot Camp, and I actually am enjoying myself during the class. I find myself pushing more each time I go to class. I now find myself coming home and even getting on the treadmill for more exercise. Much to my unbelief, I found that my cardio ability is climbing drastically. I got on the treadmill Monday night at did a 12 minute 40 second mile. I have never run this much in my life. I am on the verge of being able to run a full mile. So, with that being said, I am shooting for a 5 k distance by Christmas as well. I will keep running, keep working out, and keep losing weight. As I said, goals are meant to be met, or better yet, they are meant to be beat.
