I'm still here. Life is just a little crazy right now. I am doing better on the eating and still training with the running plan. Down to 181.3 lbs now. Next s he dulled measure and weigh in day is on the 15th. Will try to post an update then.
 
Wow time flies! Down to 176.6lbs. 2.6 lbs until I am no longer obese. I am very excited about that! :)

I have made a couple realizations about myself since my last posting. I had no idea what proper portions looked like and i was eating way too few fruits and veggies and way too much meat and carbs. Also my treats were an everyday occurrence rather than an actual treat.

Measurements haven't changed all that much. I thing I am losing mostly from my boobs and my thighs. Too bad I can't keep the boobs and loose the tummy.

That's ok- I know with time and perseverance things will even out. Lol
 
Wouldn't it be great if we could choose where we could lose our weight first?!! I would lose it from my legs. I used to have a big, bloated tummy & then found out I am gluten-intolerant. It's worth trying to cut out gluten or wheat & seeing if that makes a difference.
I'm like you in that those "treats" gradually build up until they are an everyday occurrence!
Re the portion control- my husband & I eat all our meals on smaller plates now & you never feel like you are really missing out. They look really good. It's a simple thing, but it makes a big difference.
Getting well towards your goal weight now!
Cheers, Cate
 
I don't eat nearly enough fruits or veggies either! Let me know if you find a way to get yourself to eat more, haha. Nothing has worked for me! Treats for me are also an every day occurrence, but I do try to avoid trigger foods. Anything with too much salt, or sugary desserts that aren't really as amazing as they look tend to leave me wanting more. You just have to find what works for you!
 
Thanks for stopping by Kate and Laura!

I have been planning my meal in advance. I don't do it all the time, but when I do it sure works out well. I guess I will just have to learn to do it more often.
 
I think I have gained control of my eating. :) That makes this weight-loss thing WAY easier!! I've sold out to a commercial program, but I think that is what I have needed.
 
We walked/ran 13.1 miles today. Wow! That is the distance we are training for December 1st. It was awesome! We did the first 7.1 miles walk/run in 1:41 then walked the last 6 miles in 1:27. It felt good. I think it is very funny that I can walk faster than I can run! Lol. I need to hydrate and fuel better during my long runs, but overall it was a great learning experience.

Half marathon is coming up! December 1st in the Cayman Islands. So excited! We are tapering our runs now and it kinda feels weird to not be running so much. Lol. It was so funny- I told my running friend that we only have to run 5 miles on Saturday. There was a time not too long ago where 5 miles was a really long run. Now it is a short one. My favourite accomplishment so far is that my heart rate is under control when I run and doesn't shoot right up into the anaerobic zone when I start. :)
