I ran 2 miles yesterday in 23 minutes. With Betty on Tuesday I did it in 24 minutes. I am running a 5K in a week and hope to get 39 or under. It is a "color run" in Houston and I am going with a few people so hopefully it will be better than my previous two 5K's.

I also gained a little this week, but I'm still hovering around the 215 mark, which is good. I got new pants for Christmas, so now I actually have jeans that I don't have to bunch up under my belt to wear. I got size 36" waist pants and as you can see from the measurements that's a flattery sizing scheme. I was pretty blown away by the measurements this morning. It has been quite a while since we did the measurements and I hadn't realized the drastic change. No wonder I look different. This week was the first time that someone who didn't know I was on this journey said, "hey, you look different." It felt good to have someone actually notice that I've changed without having to have it pointed out. So my advice to myself and others is: don't be afraid to venture a compliment to someone who you notice has changed for the better.
ps. for anyone who reads this who used to buy Levis SilverTabs baggy jeans.... they don't make them anymore, but after trying on about a million pair of pants I think that the red tag Levis 569 are pretty close. Cheers!
Wow. It is really crazy to see the numbers. I can see how you have changed in energy level, happiness, and size but it also good to see the numbers. Good luck with the race I hope more than anything you have fun. Also, good luck with your goals, you really are making good progress.
ReplyDeleteYou two are amazing! I know I write that in about every comment, but you really are! You both look so good. Someone told me at the beginning of your journey that he could do it by the numbers and YOU HAVE. Keep it up. Lindsay, you are so close to your goal weight, just hang in there and you'll make it; you've come so far and look so good! Good luck with the race and have a great time.
