bye bye 50!! hello 60!

My weight loss goals for 2012: TOTAL weights loss: 237 (50 of this is now GONE!) 

As of this morning, I am now down 50.9 pounds!! this is very exciting! I am so beyond proud of myself. I am in a competition with my friend Jerry to see who can lost the most weight this summer. My original goal is to lose 15 by aug. I also want to lose a total of 30 by my birthday which is in Sept. I know that the 15 is doable, and 30 might be pushing it, however I don't settle for not winning and will be continuing to kick his buns!!! :)

I am thinking about going back over my goals and revising them. I want to reevaluate them and see if there is something I could change or improve. One goal i am adding is running a 5k in November. I have started training and will be able to run 3 miles in no time. Then on to the disneyland marathon! WOOT!! 

I have been in such a great workout zone that i feel so good leaving the gym. my running has improved! i went from running only 30 seconds to a little over 2 mins at a time in just the last week. I started something with myself that i call the Glee challenge. I was watching an episode of glee today while at the gym and each time a song came on i started running. I didn't know how long each song was going to be as it was a new episode and it kept me guessing and pushing to make it to the end. Each time I ran it was a different length and the longest i timed myself was 2 mins 25 seconds. It was great. I also started running at the commercials when they weren't followed by music. It was a great change in intervals and I was able to push myself without watching a clock change. i got so used to knowing I only had to push for so long then it would be over, but with music, especially on glee they change songs so much that you never know if it will be the full length song or just a snippet! I was able to push through and run without the limitation of the watching the clock. I might do this again!
