Half way there!

November 17 I got all dressed up and went with some friends to the mall to freak people out in our wild outfits. We were celebrating "International Make A Stranger Feel Awkward Day".
I made this little video.


As I edited the video, I had the thought pop up in the back of my head that from the back side, I looked very similar to some one I know. That's when it really hit me. "I am a single 20yr old college girl who's butt is comparable to a 60 yr old mother of 5."
Thanksgiving night I had a long hard talk with myself, and made the goal to lose 50lbs by Christmas 2011.
This picture was taken for documentation on Thanksgiving Day 2010


By May I was VERY frustrated with myself because I had only lost 15lbs. I found some pants that I used to be able to wear but did not fit into anymore. I made them my goal pants for the half way mark.
I could get them up, but I could not button it. I figured I only need another 10-15lbs to be able to. So I made it my goal to be able to wear them again
I took a picture the 1st day, then the day I got the button on, and then today.
Guess what else I did today? I hit 25lbs today!



I got a nifty little pedometer to set goals for my exercise. Today I ran for the first time. You have no idea how big of an accomplishment running is for me.
I am the girl that convinced my PE teacher I could not run in PE because it was against my religion.

I also got this cool water bottle the other day that holds your entire daily amount of required water. Let me tell ya, it has been exhausting trying to drink it all each day.


I have another 25 to go before my goal, and I have a little more than 5 months to do it.
Guess there's just one thing left to say..........................







Almost there!
