I ran a 5k and a new goal (Melissa)

I am gonna brag cause I am damn proud of myself. First, I have stuck with the gym over the past 2 months. Even though my life is chaotic and tiring, I still find time to go. I am making myself a priority! I have felt myself getting stronger, I can run longer, I can even walk faster.... Well today I made a goal to run 3.1 miles on the treadmill. I walked the first 3 minutes to warm up and then ran and ran and ran..... Finally I peeked and saw 3.1 and it took 39:32!! I was so excited since my goal for the 5k mid-March was to be under 40 minutes! Plus I walked the first couple minutes so it would be a little quicker! And I have 7 weeks until the 5k to get even faster!! I should also add that I continued to run to 3.25 miles since I did walk the first .15 miles. So, yay go me!

So my new goal is to reach 199lbs by my 4th wedding anniversary, June 8th. I weighed right above 200 on my wedding day and I'd like to be at onederland for this anniversary! So I have 23lbs to go and 19 weeks to do it. It's a little more than a 1lb a week and I think I can do it! Since going to the gym consistently I have been averaging almost 2lbs a week. I'm also going to sign up for some more 5k's to keep me running!!!
