Before & After

130.8
128.4
127.8

Those are my scale readings this week. Monday, I started tracking on SparkPeople, but did not weigh. Tuesday I weighed 130.8. Wednesday, I weighed at 128.4. This morning, I weighed in at 127.8. Wow, this is working. I am eating between 1300 and 1500 calories. SparkPeople recommends I eat about 1200-1550. I tweak it according to my workouts. Saturday is long run day...8 miles...so, I will obviously go over my "budget" of calories, but also burn 1000+ calories.

I feel good about my progress thus far. 3 pounds in 3 days, I will take it. My overall goal is to be 109 by 6/1/11. Now, before anyone goes crazy on me, this is attainable for me to do in a healthy way. I am just under 5' tall. Right now my BMI is 25.8 putting me in the "Overweight" category. At 109, I will have a BMI of 22 putting me in the middle of the "Normal" Range.

 This is a photo of me and I would say I weighed approximately 160-165. This was taken a year before I met Chad and when I met him I weighed 155. 

This is me at 124. Do I believe I look terrible 4 pounds lighter than I am now? No, not at all. However, for me, I know I can look better. I have my fat days just like everybody else, but I also know I have come a long way and look 100% better than I used to.

These pictures will continue to motivate me to get where I would like to be!

Goal of the Day: Get my booty to the gym for my speedwork after work. No excuses.
