Sweeet2th's Journal, 22 September 2014

Down another 0.6 lbs over the last 5 days. That's 0.6 lbs less I have to drag with me 13.1 miles in T-minus 27 days, Folks! I think I've reached the point where I look in the mirror and see a slim person looking back at me. It's a strange and unfamiliar feeling, but I'm sure I'll get used to it!

Half-marathon training is going splendidly! I finished my milage for the weekend and today is a rest day from running, so I might do a little yoga for some "active recovery", but that's about it for exercise for me today. Yesterday's 8-mile run was really hot, (it was about 80F and very high humidity!) so my pace was about 20 seconds slower than last week's run. I'll take it. Can't expect every run to be a personal record, after all. I'm really excited about running the race! It's going to be a great day! I think I might go out this week and buy some new clothes for the race because I'm practically swimming in my current exercise wardrobe. Going from a size 2X 20/22 to a Medium 6/8 makes finding something to wear a challenge.

I also met up with the Sig-O's sister for her birthday this weekend and she didn't even know who I was even though we had met several times before. Most people don't even recognize me if they haven't seen me in the last few months, so I suppose my transformation has been pretty successful!

Grab this week by the horns, Everyone! Make it extraordinary!
Ciao for now!

Your journey is the one I'm trying to follow. I hope I'm as successful! The experimental phase is interesting, especially on the totally restrictive budget of a 70 year old! Real food doesn't come cheap! :-) I'm proof though that post-menopausal women can lose weight and regain health. Thanks for your friend request.
