Update and Promised Progress Pictures

This has been a great week.  I have completed the first week of my half marathon training program and had a great run this morning.  As of my weigh in this morning I am down 78.4 pounds.  Although my loss rate has slowed this summer, I am still amazed at how God is transforming my body, my health, and my outlook.  He so amazing! (Psalm 104.1-2)

The promised progress pictures:

This picture, with my daughter, is from last fall and shows me at my WW starting weight of 336.

Late January or early February, down around 25 lbs. at this point.

July 19, 2008, down 78.4 lbs (257.6).  Only 72.6 lbs left till I reach goal of 185.

Progress Report

I haven't posted very much this spring.  I need to do better at keeping this blog up to date.  Well, as of last Saturday, July 12th, I am down 75 lbs.  My experience this spring has been amazing.  God has been teaching me so much about Himself.  He has also been teaching me much about myself.  

Since last  updating in February, I have ran several 5k races.  I actually won my age group in one of them.  I also entered and ran in the Bluegrass 10K on July 4th.  I had a great time.  On July 3rd I entered a half marathon in Randleman NC on December 7th.  Yesterday, I began a half marathon training program.  I am using John Bingham's Marathoning for Mortals half marathon training program.  I will update often on my progress.

Here is a picture of me approaching the finish line at the Bluegrass 10K:

I will post some before and progress pictures soon...
