Pleased

I did my speedwork today. I did 5 miles of 800 repeats and then 2 other miles (one warm-up mile and one cool-down mile). So a total of 7 miles running. I also walked a mile. (I'm getting faster!) I have my last half marathon of the year next Saturday. I am excited and nervous. My last two half marathons weren't the best, so I feel pressure to make this a good time. But, I also haven't been running as much as I should be. We have been finishing up sprinklers in our yard and filling in holes. I am so tired from yard work. We need to get our sod laid within the next two weeks, so that has been keeping us busy.

I am doing really great with my eating. I have been diligent about counting calories and trying to eat healthy foods. I am now down 52 lbs. I only have 2 more pounds and I will be into the next "decade" weight-wise. This is so exciting to me. I haven't been this thin in many years. Like in 13 years. I still have at least 35-40 lbs that I have to lose and if I want to really get down to a good weight for my height, I need to lose 48-55 more lbs. Right now my focus is to have lost 60 lbs total, so I only have 8 more pounds to go! ;-)
