15 down - more to go...

As of today I am 15 pounds lighter than when I started weight watchers. I am glad to see the loss but I have to admit I thought it would be a lot faster than it was. I guess I started May 8th. So that means it took me 3 1/2 months to lose that much. Above is the chart on the weight watchers site that tracks my weight. As you can see - that little trip to Idaho put a big kink in my progression. And was it worth the treats? No way. If I had just followed my regular progression I might be 5 to 10 pounds lighter right now. That's a lesson learned - I hope.

And now my mileage is going up. This next week I will run a total of 13.5 miles. That is about half of my first goal. I know once I am running 25 miles a week my weight loss with really be going.

I just finished "Born to Run" and it was soo good. I highly recommend that. I think I'll do a post about it in a couple days because it deserves it's own post. I am also planning on getting a pair of these. I'll let you know when I do.

And here's a current picture of me. I figured I should show what I look like. I still have 40 pounds to lose - can you believe that? My kids told me this morning that I'm somewhere between the yellow and green lady on top... And I was thinking of putting this photo on facebook and so I was playing around in photoshop and trying to make my arms skinnier. Once I finished my oldest said, "What don't you try it on your cheeks now?" Thanks.

p.s. I didn't put it on facebook - I always feel too sneaky skinnifying myself. If I don't like how I look, I just won't share it...
