STILL CHIPPING AWAY

I am still working at it even though I have not being blogging about my journey.

I have been stuck on a plateau for nearly 3 months. In July I got my 45 pound star and was so happy. It appeared that 50 was right around the corner. I even set a goal to hit 50 pound loss by Labor Day and then my body just stopped. It was almost like it decided I had lost enough. I have not gained, but bounced between 170 and 168. So today I went to weigh in and had a 1.6 loss. I am hopeful that this is the beginning of a change.

A few weeks ago Lynda, my leader, mentioned I should start to think about goal. I think mine is going to be 149. Which means I only have 18 more pounds to start to work on lifetime. Very exciting.

Last Saturday I did the Making Strides Breast Cancer Awareness Walk with my friend Tiffiny. It was a great walk. We did it at Liberty Park. We walked the loop 3 times. The loop is 1.4 miles, so we walked a total of 4.2 miles in about an hour. My next big event will hopefully be the Moab Half Marathon. I did participate in the Ogden Half in May and have wanted another event to plan for. It is a lottery to get in, so we may not know if I got in for a few months. And if I don't there is always Salt Lake in April and then Ogden again in May. The fact that I am even considering doing some of these things is mind blowing.
