It's official... my BMI is out of the red zone. (I actually thought this happened weeks and weeks ago, but my doctor recently took my height, and I'm almost two inches shorter than I thought I was, which really set me back!) I realize BMI has its issues, but it's still a milestone to be able to plug my height and weight in and no longer see the word "Overweight" pop up.
Not only do I now weigh 154.5 pounds, but I just ran my very first 5K last weekend. Mind you, it was s-l-o-w... my time was 36:27... but I never stopped chugging along! Even though I thought I would eventually slow to a walk, I never did.
Hoo-ee! :-) Life's pretty exciting right now.
The only negative (if you can call it that!) is that I need to find a corner of my budget for new clothes. All of mine are officially way too big now, and I can't keep coming to work in poorly fitting clothes. But you know what... that's the kind of problem I don't mind having! ;-)
