My Life Now - 100 Pounds Lighter!!!

So, this post is a week and a half later than I was hoping, but today I got on the scale and weighed 200 pounds! That's 100 pounds gone!!! Wow. I can't believe how much being 100 pounds lighter has changed my life. This last plateau was really rough on me because I was so, so close to that 100 pound mark, but slowly, very slowly it finally came off.

I love how much more active I am now. Last night I ran 4 miles in under an hour - it darn near killed me - but I did it! I'm even loving the little things though like being able to get up and dance with my little girl, mowing the lawn, or even being able to clean the bathroom without working up a sweat! I also am tempted very little when it comes to sweets. I can say "No"  to a donut and not think about it again. It's great. I still get cravings - what I wouldn't give for a warm roll or a baked potato - and I am guilty of licking ranch Doritos from time to time, but overall I feel like I am finally in control of my life!

I am running my first 5K in a few weeks, and I'm pretty nervous about it. I'm afraid I'm going to come in last place and embarrass myself... I guess we'll just have to see, huh? :) I still have 75 pounds to loose, but I have 8 months to do it in, so here's to hoping!!! In the meantime I'm going to enjoy being a size 16 instead of a 26, and do a little dance every time I get on the scale. Thanks to everyone who has helped me get to this point - especially my Mommers who is my biggest supporter of all!!!
