MISSION COMPLETE!

It's been awhile since I updated. I haven't been back to the track in a couple weeks. My right knee was killing me and was advised to give it a rest for awhile. I was excited I didn't have to go jogging for awhile because I can't really stand it but I was also bummed because I didn't want to loose my momentum. So Jenn and I decided we would start hiking Beezly Mtn. I am happy to say that we have crawled out of bed at 5am the past 5 mornings and hiked to the top. :) Our first day we took 9 breaks and within the week we have cut it down to only 4! That's a pretty huge accomplishment in my book.

Last weekend we had a bbq and had Tim and Christina over. After consuming some alcohol I had committed to entering a Tough Mudder competition. It's a 10-12 mile race running through mud, over walls, through ice cold water, jumping over fire, running through live wires, etc. I have never done anything like this before nor have I ever thought I could. So this will be one for the books. We have until next August to train for it.

As of right now I am weighing in at 246.2 lbs. So from my highest recorded weight I have lost 68 lbs. Never in my life did I think I could ever loose that much. People are commenting on how good I look and I love it. It's very motivating. A gal I work with told me that on Wednesday when I left for lunch her husband was waiting for her and saw me. He asked her if it was me because he hadn't seen me in a few months and didn't recognize me. It made my day. :)

So as Jenn would say, I'm gonna keep on keeping on.
